## **Objectives and Activities**
The charity’s objectives are to work towards redressing the difficulties faced by single/lone Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic Women and Girls who have suffered any form of domestic abuse, but not so as to limit the generality of the foregoing through the provision of:
- a. the relief of suffering amongst Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women and Girls who have suffered any form of domestic abuse, such as emotional and physical abuse in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of residential accommodation; and
- b. to educate and assist in the education of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women and Girls.
The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are:
- a. to provide temporary refuge for Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority Women and Girls subjected to physical, psychological and emotional abuse
- b. to empower each woman in shaping her own future and assisting her in attaining her aspirations, be it through a return to her home or embarking on a new resettlement journey
- c. to offer support and provide essential information to Black, Asian, and Ethnic Minority Women and Girls seeking assistance and/or experiencing homelessness. Our commitment extends to offering ongoing support to women and girls who have transitioned out of our refuge.
Anah Project provides temporary and safe accommodation for up to 16 single/lone Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority Women and Girls, who are seeking refuge due to domestic abuse perpetrated against them by their families or partner.
The referral criterion for women seeking accommodation at the refuge is:
- 16 years of age or over
- Single/lone and from Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority origin
- Fleeing physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological abuse
- Fleeing forced marriage
The location of the refuge remains anonymous in order to ensure the safety of the Service Users as well as all members of staff.
## **Achievements and performance**
The past year has been marked by significant accomplishments and growth for the Anah Project. We have continued to expand our reach, increase our impact, and strengthen our organisational sustainability. Regularly evaluating effectiveness has been crucial for the Anah Project to ensure the efficient allocation of resources and the ongoing accomplishment of our mission to offer a safe haven for those in need. Throughout this period, our dedicated team, partners, and supporters have played pivotal roles in achieving our mission.
Our long-standing reputation in providing Black and Ethnic Minoritised specialist Domestic Abuse services continue to be recognised on many platforms, as a ‘by and for’ service, where victims are able to see themselves reflected in the staffing, management and governance structure. Anah is designed and led by a team that share the same protected characteristic(s) as the victims we aim to serve.
This financial year we have had some benefit from the Government's investment through the New Burdens Fund. During this period, those who transitioned into Anah's safe accommodation experienced enhanced security and found themselves in a more favorable position to embark on the journey of rebuilding their lives in a trauma-informed manner. This positive shift also manifested in improved physical and mental well-being outcomes, contributing to cost savings within the public healthcare system.
Being an independent charity and specialist organisation, it is crucial for us to scrutinise service demand, referral rationales and impact, with our goal being the provision of assistance to women and girls from deprived communities. By assessing our collated data, we consistently evaluate and maintain our accessibility and effectiveness to marginalised and disadvantaged women who face multiple intersectional disadvantage. The increase in number of referrals year on year, shows that our efforts to increase awareness are making an impact and are effective

## **ANAH PROJECT LTD**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
We have supported vulnerable, traumatised women and girls to cultivate a wide range of competencies, including the management of physical health, improve mental health, access legal matters support (including criminal matters immigration and family law), access education and training, gain independent living skills as well as sought and improve financial independence. This multifaceted approach has been vital in survivor recovery and resilience. Anah Project is so proud of the women and girls who through our support have overcome adversity, realise their potential and begin to thrive.
During the reporting period, the achievements of the Anah Project's community engagement work have been nothing short of remarkable. Through targeted outreach initiatives, online platforms, face to face workshops and stalls, we successfully engaged with the public, raising awareness that has contributed toward conscious raising and generational shift, prevention, early intervention and increased reporting. Our commitment and model to empower hard to reach women and girls in closed communities has led to inspiring others to create and deliver similar initiatives local authority wide.
Anah partnered with a local Theatre company and delivered a production raising awareness of the plight of victims suffering Domestic abuse which was co-created with survivors. The production was attended by a significant number of professionals such as the police and solicitors, improving reach and creating impact. This play increased interest in our work and gave us the opportunity to share learning resources for professional workers, schools, educational settings and the general public.
Anah Project has made significant strides in enhancing its online presence and effectively showcasing our impactful work on our website. We recognised the importance of leveraging digital platforms to disseminate information and engage with our stakeholders. As a result, our website has become a tool for sharing success stories and service updates. By consistently highlighting the positive outcomes and the transformative experiences of our beneficiaries, we not only celebrate their achievements and our achievements but also foster a sense of community and transparency among our supporters. This strategic focus on our online presence has played a pivotal role in extending our reach and ensuring that our mission resonates with a wider audience.
In our unwavering dedication to breaking the cycle of abuse for countless women and girls, we are thrilled to share that we have purchased our charity owned independent safe house. This significant milestone not only enables us to secure our charity’s future, but also importantly expands our capacity to meet the rising demand for our specialised support model.
## **Public Benefit**
The public benefit of the Anah Project, as a specialist Black and Ethnic Minoritised domestic abuse charity, is multifaceted and impactful:
The Anah Project has provided critical support and resources to Black and Ethnic Minoritised women and girls who are experiencing domestic abuse and face extensive barriers to accessing support. By doing so, we address a pressing social issue and offer a more meaningful lifeline to those in need, helping them escape abusive situations and begin the process of healing and recovery.
Through our specialised programs and interventions, the Anah Project has actively worked to reduce domestic abuse within hard-to-reach communities. By raising awareness and offering safe accommodation, we contribute to a safer and healthier environment for women and girls and estranged children.
Through our specialist programs and support model, we have promoted inclusivity and diversity by tailoring our services to the unique cultural and linguistic needs of Black and Ethnic Minoritised women and girls. This approach ensured that those who might face additional barriers in seeking help received culturally sensitive and accessible support.
By being available and offering support, the Anah Project helped prevent long-term physical and psychological harm to survivors and their children. This, in turn, reduced the potential burden on public healthcare and social services.

## **ANAH PROJECT LTD**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
Our charity engaged in community education and awareness initiatives, helping to break the cycle of domestic abuse by fostering understanding and encouraging open dialogue about this issue within Black and Ethnic Minoritised communities. Over the reporting period we have established impactful alliances, strategic partnerships and collaborations with local Non-Government Organisations, government agencies, and academic institutions, fostering collaborative efforts to address community needs effectively and amplify impact.
Over the reporting period we have strengthened our advocacy efforts to influence policies that address the systemic issues affecting marginalised communities
Through our support for mental and physical well-being, the Anah Project indirectly contributed to public health savings by mitigating the need for expensive medical and mental health interventions that may result from prolonged exposure to domestic abuse.
By empowering survivors and their families, the Anah Project enhanced social cohesion within Black and Ethnic Minoritised communities. Empowered women and girls are more likely to become active, engaged citizens who can positively contribute to society.
In summary, the Anah Project's work as a specialist BME domestic abuse charity provided a range of public benefits, including supporting vulnerable women and girls, reducing domestic abuse, promoting diversity and inclusivity, preventing long-term harm, educating communities, generating public health savings, and fostering social cohesion and empowerment within BME communities. These achievements reflect our dedication to creating lasting positive change for the women and girls within the communities we serve.
## **Risk Management**
At the Anah Project, our commitment to robust risk management and control measures is an integral part of our governance practices. These measures are regularly reviewed and updated during Quarterly Board of Trustees meetings, with a particular focus on financial, reputational, and organisational risks. Additionally, the Board diligently assesses risks associated with staff recruitment, retention, stress, and staff welfare to maintain a supportive and healthy work environment.
Beyond our formal policies and procedures, both the Board members and staff collectively identify, review, and manage risks annually as well as during day-to-day operations. Safeguarding is of paramount importance and the project's location remains hidden to ensure the physical and emotional safety of the women we serve, creating a fear-free and secure living environment.
Like many charities, one of Anah's key risks, especially exacerbated by the challenges posed by the Cost-of-Living Crisis, is long-term funding sustainability. To address this, our business plan and strategic development initiatives are aimed at diversifying income streams and enhancing financial resilience, allowing us to plan for the future with proactive confidence.
Our strategic efforts in establishing a strong online presence, service user involvement and survivor advocacy serve as a proactive measure to stay relevant to the women and girls we serve while expanding our reach.
Additionally, our strong leadership team ensures continuous project oversight, enabling the seamless management of Anah's services at all times.
The Anah Board of Trustees comprises a ‘by and for’ highly skilled and well-trained management team, well-versed in governance, safeguarding, and health and safety practices. We conduct periodic skills audits to assess our strengths and areas for development, allowing us to identify training and development needs proactively.

## **ANAH PROJECT LTD**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
To further enhance the diversity and expertise of our board, Anah has actively pursued the recruitment of a more diverse range of members. This strategy ensures the composition of our management team remains robust and skillful. Additionally, all board members have undergone training in governance principles, which have been validated and delivered in collaboration with Women's Aid, reaffirming our commitment to effective and informed governance.
## **Financial Review**
The Statement of Financial Activities (page 8) reflects a surplus for the year, before any investment (loss)/gain of £82,177 (2022: £10,978).
At the end of this financial year restricted reserves amounted to £128,448 and except for the Shama funded support (£35,919) this money is committed to be spent by 31 March 2024.
Unrestricted reserves at the end of this financial year amount to £296,006.
Current funding (restricted) has been secured until 2023, if however any financial difficulties were to occur then reserves of £139,862 are available. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charities current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which funds may be raised or activities changed. The unrestricted reserves not designated for specific purposes stood at £156,144 on 31 March 2023.
As part of this policy, the level of reserves will be calculated and monitored every 6 – 12 months by the Manager, Finance Manager and the Board of Directors.
This policy will be reviewed annually or sooner should the need arise.
## **Plans for future periods**
Anah continues to look at diversifying and developing income streams to ensure that our services can be sustainable.
Anah has come to realise that our potential does not stop at housing women, but our strength is in also undertaking preventative work and increasing awareness online and across different platforms. Awareness-raising feeds into the ability to make an impact on the political, social and the legal landscape when it comes to Domestic Abuse, which we are starting to see more and more with the enactment of the Domestic Abuse Act and an increase in social awareness of the different forms of Domestic Abuse.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANAH PROJECT LTD**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 18.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The trustees, who also act as directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011, (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities;
- have not been met; or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
