Charity Annual Report 2024-2025
Introduction
The past year has been a transformative yet challenging period for our charity. Alongside a change in leadership
our programmes.
Key Achievements
Domestic Abuse and Emotional Support Services
Over the past year, the Family Support Team has continued to deliver a combination of group and one-to-one
sessions for adults who have experienced domestic abuse. The team's trauma-informed approach focuses on
helping individuals rebuild confidence, develop coping strategies, and regain independence. Demand for
children's support has remained consistently high, with many young people on the waiting list; however, with
the appointment of new staff, it is anticipated that these waiting times will begin to reduce. Encouragingly, there
has already been a noticeable decrease in the number of adults waiting for support. The ongoing commitment of
the team to deliver high-quality, person-centred interventions continues to make a tangible difference in the
lives of those affected by domestic abuse.
Independent Domestic & Sexual Violence Advocate (IDVA/ISVA) Services
The IDVA and ISVA services have continued to provide comprehensive, specialist support for individuals
affected by domestic and sexual violence.
Service users this year were predominantly white, heterosexual
women aged between 25 and 44, with similar proportions of clients with and without disabilities. The service
remains committed to accessibility for all and works closely with partner agencies to ensure that those from
underrepresented communities, including LGBTQ+ groups, can access appropriate support. During 2024/25, the
service recorded 160 referrals and achieved an engagement rate of 86.25%, with a further 87 referrals between
April and September 2025.
Professional development has remained a strong focus, with two advocates qualifying as specialist IDVAs and
completing their ISVA training, while we have also undertaken Deaf IDVA specialist training to strengthen
accessibility for clients with hearing impairments. The introduction of The Survivors Programme, delivered by
Broxtowe Women's Project, has replaced The Freedom Programme and offers a more modern and relevant
intervention, particularly around coercive control and post-separation abuse within the court system.

Salcare Ltd
Trustees' Report
Feedback from clients continues to highlight the impact of the service's compassionate, non-judgemental
approach. Many report increased self-worth, confidence, and independence as a result of tailored and
empowering support. Flexibility has been key in ensuring accessibility for those who struggle with group work
due to anxiety or trauma, with options such as one-to-one sessions, online meetings, and telephone support
readily available. For those with complex needs requiring longer-term engagement, strong exit planning and
partnership working ensure continuity of care.
The quality of this work is reflected in the feedback received. One client shared,
"Salcare didn't judge me. They helped me with more than just domestic violence - mental health, my children,
getting back on my feet."
Similarly, a social worker commented,
"Salcare went above and beyond supporting with mental health, court, safety, and rebuilding her life. Without
them, this family wouldn't be back together.
These testimonials reflect the deep and lasting impact of the IDVA and ISVA services on survivors' recovery
and wellbeing.
McKenzie Friend Legal Service
The McKenzie Friend Service continues to offer vital practical and emotional support to individuals navigating
the family court system, empowering them to make informed decisions and feel confident in representing
themselves. During 2024/25, the service supported 124 clients, with 47 referrals received between April and
September 2025. Many of those accessing support were female, aged between 35 and 44, heterosexual, white,
and living with a disability.
We continue to represent the service as a member of the Derbyshire Local Family Justice Board, ensuring that
the experiences of clients inform local decision-making. Progress continues on the mediation portfolio, working
under the supervision of a Professional Practice Consultant (PPC). Although there have been some contact
issues over the past year, this arrangement will be reviewed in the new year to ensure continued professional
progression.
The service plays an active role in multi-agency Family Court collaboration meetings, advocating for clients,
highlighting systemic gaps, and contributing to the development of a more trauma-informed court environment.
Across all measured outcomes, most service users reported positive improvements in safety, wellbeing, and
understanding of their legal rights. This demonstrates the service's significant impact in supporting individuals
to navigate what can be an overwhelming and isolating process.
Clients and professionals alike have praised the support provided
One client commented,
"I'm incredibly grateful for the support I received from your service. You were a lifeline during a really difficult
time, but the long waits between court hearings and support meetings were very difficult."
A professional partner similarly noted that
"The service provides invaluable support to our clients."
Looking ahead, two student placements will join the service in February 2026 for a ten-week period, providing
valuable learning opportunities and additional capacity to meet demand.

Children and Young People's Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (C& YP IDVA)
The CYP IDVA service continues to deliver dedicated support to children and young people who have
experienced domestic abuse, helping them to process their experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and
develop healthy coping mechanisms. During 2024/25, the service recorded 32 referrals, achieving an
engagement rate of 96.97%, with an additional 32 referrals between April and September 2025. The majority of
young people supported were male, aged 12 and under, white, and without a disability. Referrals tend to
decrease during school holidays, reflecting reduced contact with education settings.
Feedback from service users and professionals has been exceptionally positive, with an average satisfaction
score of 4.89 out of 5, and most respondents stating they would be "very likely" to seek future support. Teachers
have reported visible improvements in children's emotional expression and classroom behaviour following
engagement with the service.
To strengthen accessibility and efficiency, discussions are underway with schools to explore the delivery of
group sessions on-site, supported by an increased CYP IDVA presence in the office to reduce travel time. This
will be closely monitored to ensure that accessibility for children and young people remains a priority. In some
cases, parental consent has presented a challenge, particularly where the perpetrator of abuse has denied access
to support for the child.
To ensure each child receives the most appropriate intervention, a new triage process is being introduced to
determine whether CYP IDVA or Art Therapy is the best fit for their needs. These developments mark an
exciting step forward in our ability to offer holistic, creative, and child-centred support.
Children's Art Psychotherapy
Over the past year, our Art Therapy service has supported 116 children and young people affected by domestic
abuse, helping them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a safe, non-threatening environment.
Each participant received weekly sessions, including individual therapy, group work, and follow-up 'Move-On'
express trauma through art, enabling them to externalise emotions, build self-understanding, and develop coping
strategies. The dedicated Art Space provided a safe environment to experiment, play, and process both
conscious and unconscious material, supporting creativity as a pathway to emotional growth.
The impact of the service has been significant. All children who completed therapy showed measurable
improvements in self-worth and self-esteem, while the majority demonstrated enhanced cognitive and
problem-solving skills through creative engagement. Many also experienced strengthened relationships with
family, peers, and school staff, with improved communication and reduced behavioural challenges. Parents and
schools reported observable changes in confidence, participation, and emotional regulation, including children
taking more active roles in class, advocating for themselves, and engaging positively in family life. Group
activities fostered collaboration, social learning, and resilience, while bio-social-psychoeducation enabled
children and adults to better understand trauma and its effects. Overall, the project has provided a vital, creative
space for children to heal, gain self-awareness, and develop practical skills to manage the impact of domestic
abuse on their lives.
We continue to support the next generation of Art Therapists through our relationship with local Universities of
Derby and Sheffield Hallam in providing placement for qualifying trainees.
The project, which concluded its BBC Children in Need funding in February 2025, has demonstrated clear,
positive outcomes for those involved. Recognising the ongoing need for this vital support, we are now actively
seeking alternative funding from other supporters to ensure the service can continue, so that children who have
experienced trauma can keep accessing the specialist help they need to heal and thrive.

Practical Support
Community Pantry
Now in its third year, our Community Pantry, part of the Feeding Derbyshire project, has continued to provide a
facing hardship.
Foodbank
Our foodbank supported more than 1,500 adults and over 400 children during the year, including individuals
experiencing homelessness, those living in temporary accommodation, and people facing delays or interruptions
in income. We remain proud to be the only foodbank in the area that offers self-referral, ensuring accessible
support for all, while also working closely with social services, housing providers, and local partners to assist
families and individuals in crisis.
Local Food Donations
We have been fortunate to receive ongoing support from local supermarkets and businesses, who regularly
donate surplus food. In addition, schools, churches, local enterprises, and many individual supporters have
contributed generously to our food poverty initiatives, helping us make a meaningful and lasting impact across
the community.
Furniture Warehouse and Shop
Our Furniture Warehouse and Shop has continued to play a vital role in helping individuals and families create
comfortable homes, particularly for those escaping domestic abuse or experiencing homelessness. Working
closely with local authorities, housing providers, homeless teams, and social workers, we have provided tailored
furniture packages to those in need, ensuring safe and welcoming living spaces. In addition, we have supported
planned escape arrangements and ongoing support for survivors of domestic abuse, helping them to rebuild their
lives with dignity and security.
Community Support Project
Throughout the year, we delivered a range of community projects addressing key issues such as warmth,
isolation, food poverty, and cooking skills. Thanks to dedicated funding, our Craft & Chat project was able to
run all year, providing a creative and social space for people to connect, share skills, and combat loneliness.
Even after the conclusion of other project funding, we continued to operate our Warm Hub, offering a
welcoming environment where anyone could come to rest, enjoy free food, and connect with others. Both
initiatives have had a significant positive impact, reducing isolation, fostering community connections, and
providing comfort and support to those most in need.

Salcare Ltd
Trustees' Report
Challenges and Barriers to Service
This year, we continued to face significant challenges across our services. Demand for support has increased
steadily, placing additional pressure on our teams and resources. At the same time, uncertainty around project
funding has created barriers to long-term planning and the sustainability of some services, particularly those
supporting vulnerable individuals and families.
These pressures have highlighted the need for even stronger partnership working, especially with other domestic
abuse services across the county. Closer collaboration will be essential in ensuring that people receive
consistent, coordinated support and that limited resources are used as effectively as possible.
Partnerships
Partnership working remains central to our approach and has been instrumental in strengthening the support we
provide across Derbyshire. Throughout the year, we have worked closely with a wide range of agencies,
including social workers, the police, Citizens Advice, and local housing providers such as Futures, See We Are
Here, Deventio, Rise Housing, and Spectrum Housing. Our collaboration with Amber Valley Borough Council's
housing and homelessness teams, the P3 project, and LGBT+ Derby has ensured that individuals and families
facing crisis receive coordinated, timely, and holistic support.
These partnerships enable us to respond more effectively to issues such as homelessness, domestic abuse, food
and furniture poverty, and financial hardship. By sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, we have been
able to improve outcomes, reduce duplication, and make sure people receive the right help at the right time.
Volunteer Engagement
Volunteers remain key to providing services in the community. While recruitment can be challenging, this year
we welcomed ten new regular volunteers, bringing our total team to 18.
We also worked closely with Time Swap Derbyshire and Amber Valley CVS, generating over 40 volunteer
enquiries, of which more than 20 joined our team over the year. Additionally, we benefited from local
businesses Syensquo and DHU, who provided enthusiastic staff during their annual volunteering days. Our
volunteers have been essential in delivering services across the pantry, café, and warehouse, contributing nearly
9,000 hours and greatly enhancing both service delivery and program sustainability. We celebrated their
dedication with a special lunch during National Volunteering Awareness Week, recognising the vital role they
play in our work.
Senior Team
In December 2024, our Director of Services, Jacqui Bell left Salcare after 4 Years at the lead. Jacqui came into
Salcare at a very challenging time and we record our thanks to her for work and wish her well for the future. We
appointed Don Davis our Business Development lead as Interim Director at that point. Don Davis was
subsequently appointed to the role of Chief Executive of Salcare in April 2025.
Looking Ahead
In 2025/26, we will continue to strengthen and expand our services, focusing particularly on addressing the gaps
identified through our work this year. This includes exploring opportunities to provide additional legal support
for victims of domestic abuse, such as mediation around family disputes and child arrangements, while
maintaining our commitment to delivering holistic, trauma-informed care for survivors and their children. We
will also continue to build and deepen partnerships with local authorities and partner organisations to enhance
service delivery and extend our reach and impact across the community.

A Thank You
We extend our sincere thanks to our volunteers, staff, funders, and partners, whose commitment has enabled us
to support thousands of individuals and families over the past year. Your dedication, generosity, and belief in
our work ensure that our community continues to find strength, safety, and hope despite the challenges we face.
Public benefit
We help create safer & stronger communities where families who are moving away from abuse, feel empowered
to build a new future. We do this through the provision of practical & emotional support for the whole family
including reducing the risk of vulnerable people facing serious harm, rehabilitation of perpetrators, prevention
of victims & families becoming homeless, reducing food & fuel poverty, reducing bed (furniture) poverty and
increased access to welfare rights.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to
have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Financial review
In this financial year, Salcare reported a deficit of £16,210. The Trustees had anticipated this outcome during the
budgeting process and were confident that existing reserves would be sufficient to maintain essential services.
However, the Board recognises that continued deficits are not sustainable in the long term. As a result, the
organisation is actively developing a range of initiatives to strengthen financial stability, all aligned with our
charitable objectives.
During 2025/26, our priorities will focus on developing services with a sustainable income stream, ensuring that
income generation complements our core activities while continuing to meet identified needs within the
community.
Policy on reserves
Trustees are to develop a written reserve policy that considers the stability of the mission, services employment
and on-going operations of the charity. At this time our stated policy is that reserves should be maintained with
cover for at least 3 months of core costs not including directly funded projects.

Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise state
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019
- (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
Basis of preparation
Salcare Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially
recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date
of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement
of Cash Flows within the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general
nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date
In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the
charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are full
met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that thes
conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants
have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is
recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend
due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable
costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an
indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset
received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue
are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are
recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is
recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories
covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated
residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows
Asset class
Land and buildings
Furniture and equipment
Computer equipment
Fixtures & fittings
