Granby Somali
Women's Group
Annual Report 2024

PCC Sexual Vlolence Fund - This project continues to be truly groundbreaking,
incorporating a community-wide approach by actively engaging men in Ihe conversation
about the harms of Female Genital Mulilation (FGM). By holding dedicated sessions
wilh men, the project addresses the deeply rooted myths surrounding FGM, particularly
the false belief that it aligns with 'whal men want.,
These discussions have fostered open dialogue, challenging misconceptions and
exploring the underlying reasons why Ihis harmful practice persists. Engaging men as
allies in the fight against FGM has shifted the narrative, emphasising that ending this
practice requires the collective commitment of the entire community.
A critical success of the project has been ils ability to shed light on FGM, removing it
from the shadows of secrecy that have allowed it to continue for generations. By
tackling this iat)00 head-on and fostering transparent discussions, the project has
become a pivotal force in breaking down barriers and driving meaningful cultural
change.
HAF Funding - The Holiday Aclivities and Food (HAF) Program is a vital part of the
GSWG initialive, providing essenlial support to low-income children who receive free
school meals. This furKling allows children to participate in free acts"vities during the
school holidays while also ensuring they receive a nutritious meal and snack. For many
ol these children, Ihis meal is crucial, as their families often cannot afford it due to the
CoSt￿l-l1VIng crisis and rising food prices.
The HAF program addresses more than just hunger. It offers children the opportunity to
learn about heallhy eating, engage in physical activities, and build social connections,
reducing isolation during the holiday periods. Beyond the children, the programme also
serves as a gateway to help families with additional challenges by connecting them to
other services through referrals and signposting.
Without HAF funding, many low-income children would face hunger, loneliness, and
limrted opportunities for enrichment. This initiative empowers children to change their
circumstances, improve their mental health and well-being. and develop new skills and
experiences. It ensures they can enjoy their holidays in a supportive, engaging, and fun
environment, setting the foundation tor a heallhier, more confident future.

Natlonal Lottery Communlty Fund - Thanks to the continued support from the
National Lottery, our "Our Voices" projecl has grown inlo a transformalive initiative,
championing female empowerment and advocacy against Female Genital Mutilation
(FGM) and sexual misconduct within marginalized communities. This vital project builds
on our previous work, allowing us to connect with a more diverse audien￿ and recruit
volunteers fluent in a variety of community languages, ensuring greater accessibility and
inclusivity.
Central to the project is the empowerment of women and girls, enabling them to break
the silence around these harmful praclices. By providing a platform for their voices to be
heard, we foster resilience, confidence, and the ability to advocate for change within
their communities. This empowermenl has revitalized our charity, resulting in a marked
increase in service users and attendance al drop-in sessions for our broader range of
support seNices.
The project provides essenlial support Io Ihose affected by FGM and sexual
misconduct, addressing bolh the menlal and physical health challenges Ihey lace in a
safe, nurturing environmenl. By equipping women and girls wilh tools to heal and
reclaim Iheir agency, we lay Ihe groundwork for long-lerm personal and societal
transformation.
Through partnerships with other service providers, we expand our reach and share
valuable insighls, creating a collaborative network dedicated to ending these prathces.
Together, we aim to dismantle syslemic barriers, advocale for human righls, and
empower women and girls to lead the way toward a more equitable future.
Liverpool City Council (CRG) - This funding contribules to a drop-in service for Muslim
women, particularly Ihose facing health challenges, isolation, and loneliness. These
sessions help women overcome language barriers, build confidence, and boosl self-
esteem. They provide opportunilies lor socializing and sharing knowledge about
activities at the centre and in the wider community. This initiative plays a crucial role in
foslering inclusion and improving overall well-being.

Independent Age - Our funding from Independent Age enables us lo provide crucial
one-to-one support to older adults, offering advice on benefits maximisation, debt
support, fuel assislance, and access to government schemes. This support is vital, as
many elderly individuals face significant barriers in accessing the help they need.
Loneliness and isolation are widespread. wilh many elderfy individuals living alone,
often without family neart)y to assist them. A lack of computer literacy makes it difficult
for them to navigate online systems, which are increasingly the primary method for
accessing information and services. Without this knowledge, they remain unaware of
the benefits and schemes available to them.
The cost￿f-11vIng crisis has hit the elderly particularly hard. Rising energy bills and food
prices are forcing some to choose between healing their homes or eating properly,
jeopardizing their health and well-being. Many live on fixed incomes or inadequate
pensions that do not stretch far enough lo cover their basic needs.
Health issues further compound these challenges. as physical or cognitive limitations
make it harder to advocate for themselves or seek assisiance. Feeling ignored and
marginalised in society. many elderly individuals suffer in silence, wilhout the support
systems Ihey deserve.
This funding is essential in addressing Ihese issues. It allows us to provide personalised
guidance. connect older adults to the resources they need, and ensure they don't face
these challenges alone. With Ihis support, we aim to restore dignity, Stability, and hope
to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Challenges 2025: The challenges tacing GSWG in 2025 are intensifying, driven by the
ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Rising food prices, energy costs, and stagnant wages are
pushing families to the brink, forcing many to make impossible choices between
essentials like heating. eating. or paying rent.
The housing crisis conlinues to worsen. wilh more families struggling to afford their
homes or facing eviction due to rent increases. The scarcity of affordable housing
options has left many living in overcrowded conditions or temporary accommodations,
further exacert)ating stress and insecurrty. Homelessness is becoming a growing realrty
for families who can no longer keep up with rising costs.
These pressures are leading to increased reliance on charities like GSWG, as public
seNices continue to diminish. Families are turning to us not only for immediate relief,
such as food, clothing, and utility assistance but also for guidance and support in
navigating complex systems to access support.
The charity sector, already grappling with shrinking funding and resources, is being
streiched to its limits. The combination of escalating demand and reduced financial
support is leaving vulnerable families with fewer lifelines. Without urgent intervention
and suslainable funding, the gap between needs and resources will only widen, leaving
countless families at risk of deeper poverty.
2024: A Year of Local Advocacy
2024 was a pivolal year for our local campaigning efforts, with GSWG tsking a leading
role in addressing crilical issues affecting our community. From exposing school
admission scandals to advocaling against Ihe closure of local lifestyle services, we have
stepO up as the voice and champion for our community.
These challenges underscored the importance of having a dedicated organisation to
ensure Ihe community's concerns are heard and acted upon. GSWG has worked
tirelessly to provide an outlet for residents lo express their frustrations, share their
stories, and mobilize for change.
As we move forward, we remain committed to Ihis role, standing as a strong and
unwavering advocale for our community. We will continue to fight for transparency,
faimess. and the preservation of essential services, ensuring that no one feels ignored
or left behind.
