ANAH PROJECT LTD TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Meetings

The Trustees hold management meetings every six weeks. Additional sub-group meetings are convened to focus on specific operational areas, involving Trustees with relevant expertise and members of Anah’s Management Team.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to risks, including the sustainability of the project.

Objectives and Activities

The charity’s objective is to support single/lone Black and Minoritised Women and Girls who have suffered domestic abuse.

Anah undertakes the following in furtherance of our objective:

The referral criteria for women seeking accommodation at the refuge is as follows:

To safeguard the wellbeing of service users and staff, the refuge’s location remains strictly confidential..

Achievements and performance

Anah strives itself on being a ‘by and for’ women-led organisation that share the same lived experiences and protected characteristics of those we support.

Our growing online presence has enabled us to expand our reach and connect with more women in need of our services. We continue to use digital platforms to engage with stakeholders and share success stories, while maintaining strict confidentiality and implementing robust digital safeguards to protect data and privacy.

Anah is recognised as a specialist organisation supporting women from minoritised communities. We build on this reputation when delivering specialist consciousness-raising sessions in schools and to other stakeholders, including public-sector agencies. This not only reinforces our standing as a trusted expert organisation but also strengthens our unique selling point, supporting our financial sustainability and income generation efforts.

We have made significant progress in our preventative work on domestic abuse, particularly through our outreach sessions in schools. We also host stalls at student events, including college and university fairs, to help young women and teenagers better understand domestic abuse and challenge unacceptable behaviours.

ANAH PROJECT LTD

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

This proactive approach is reflected in the growing number of self-referrals from women, which marks a major achievement – indicating increased awareness and a stronger societal rejection of domestic abuse. Encouragingly, this signals the beginning of generational shifts in attitudes towards abuse and genderbased violence.

Women with no recourse to public funds often find themselves falling through the gaps but Anah Project prides itself on supporting such women, who often find themselves increasingly isolated. 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.

Anah Project continues to use a multifaceted approach in terms of the support we provide, which has been vital in survivor recovery and resilience. Anah Project is so proud of the women and girls who overcome adversity, realise their potential and begin to thrive.

Public Benefit

Anah is addressing a pressing social issue and providing a lifeline to women in need by helping them escape abusive situations and allowing them to begin the process of healing and recovery. By doing this, we are contributing to a safer and healthier environment for women, girls and estranged children. Ultimately, empowered women and girls are more likely to become active, engaged citizens who can positively contribute to society.

Anah Project’s community-prevention work helps raise awareness and therefore prevent long-term physical and psychological harm to women and children. This, in turn, reduces the potential burden on public healthcare and social services. This also helps break the cycle of domestic abuse and opens up dialogue about this issue within Black and Ethnic Minoritised communities and facilitates social cohesion.

We have established impactful alliances and collaborations with local Non-Government Organisations, government agencies, and academic institutions. This in turn amplifies our impact. This, in tandem with our advocacy and lobbying efforts, influences government policies that address the systemic issues affecting female marginalised communities.

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 Board 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 health and wellbeing. One example of this is through regular staff supervision by Management and Trustees.

We also have a risk register that outlines our goals/objectives/outcomes to allow us to monitor our effectiveness in line with our overall objectives and mission statement more systematically and efficiently, something which is monitored regularly now by the Board.

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. Anah also regularly monitors our online safety to ensure we are not putting women at risk.

Like many charities, one of Anah's key risks, exacerbated by the challenges posed by the Cost-of-Living Crisis, is long-term 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.

Our 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.

ANAH PROJECT LTD

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Board of Trustees comprises of a 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. As a result, Board members often attend other training including training on safeguarding, risk management and crisis response, fundraising and development of sustainable income streams. All Board members have undergone training in governance principles, in collaboration with Women's Aid, which has strengthened our commitment to effective and informed governance.

Financial Review

The Statement of Financial Activities (page 7) reflects a surplus for the year of £63,243 (2024 deficit of £74,664).

At the end of this financial year restricted reserves amounted to £65,179 and except for the Shama funded support (£34,775) this money is committed to be spent by 31 March 2026.

Unrestricted and designated reserves at the end of this financial year amount to £347,854

Reserves

Anah Project has decided to increase the reserves held by the charity. As part of the review of the charity’s risk assessment, the charity has agreed to maintain free reserves

The Trustees consider that the Target Free Reserves Level is at least 6 months of operating costs. It was agreed that the Target Free Reserves top range would be £258,000

Our available Free Reserves as at 31 March 2025 is £191,300 (2024: £138,822).

The Board will at times designate funds from Free Reserves for specific future needs (e.g. major repairs, asset maintenance and new projects).

As part of this policy, the level of reserves will be calculated and monitored every 6 – 12 months by the CEO, Finance Manager and the Board of Directors.

This policy will be reviewed annually or sooner should the need arise.

ANAH PROJECT LTD

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Plans for future periods

Anah continues to look at diversifying and developing income streams to ensure that our services can be sustainable. We continue to review our Business Plan every year and always reflect on the diversification and sustainability of our income streams when we do so.

For many years now, Anah has realised that our service is not solely for the housing of women fleeing domestic abuse, but a significant amount of our work also now focuses on undertaking preventative work and raising awareness online and in partnership with different public-sector agencies.

We take the lead politically.

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.

We are also exploring the purchase a/or sublet of aa new 13-bedroom property to expand our services and provide additional accommodation for vulnerable women fleeing domestic abuse.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The Trustees of Anah Project Ltd are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these accounts the Trustees are required to:-

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report was approved by the board of Trustees on 18 December 2025

Basis of Independent Examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

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.
