## **Public Benefit** 

The Directors have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning the 



company’s future activities. In particular, the Directors consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

HARV undertakes and manages its activities in line with the above objectives through the provision of support contracts and work initiatives. The Directors receive regular updates on performance and feel that the objectives have been achieved as set out in the next section.

## **HARV’s Aims** 

To identify, support and safeguard both adults and children who are living with or have experienced abuse, violence and/or exploitation. 

## **HARV’s Vision and Mission** 

A future where everyone can live safe, happy & healthy lives free from abuse, violence & exploitation in their homes, streets and communities. 

## **HARV’s Mission** 

Victims and Survivors come from all walks of life, and so do we. Our lived experience enhances our empathy and compassion, which is crucial to our values and beliefs, our knowledge, and the quality of our support services. 

HARV raise awareness of domestic abuse and work collaboratively to deliver specialist domestic abuse support services so that women, men, trans / non-binary and child survivors can live increasingly positive, safer, healthier lives, leading to safer communities and neighbourhoods for everyone. 

HARV is a women’s organisation ‘run by women for women’, supporting victims and sur- 



vivors every day, using inclusive, ethical, trauma-informed approaches to prevent domestic abuse/further harm and support recovery from the trauma of abuse. 

## **HARV’s Values** 

- _**Quality**_ = HARV ensures there are quality assurance systems in place. In 2025 HARV will apply for the Women’s Aid National Quality Standards 

- _**Professional Learning Organisation**_ = HARV is committed to lifelong learning and ensures that all staff and volunteers are professionally trained to the highest and most appropriate standard 

- _**Inclusive**_ = of all who lack privilege and access or are disadvantaged 

- _**Empowering**_ = Empowerment is a multi-dimensional social process that helps people gain control over their own lives. It is a process that fosters power (that is, the capacity to implement) in people, for use in their own lives, their communities, and in their society, by acting on issues that they define as important. 

- _**Ethical**_ = to equitable principles, highest knowledge and standards for domestic abuse 

- _**Equality and Intersectionality**_ = It starts from the premise that people live multiple, layered identities derived from social relations, history and the operation of structures of power. Intersectional analysis aims to reveal multiple identities, exposing the different types of intersectional and multiple discrimination and disadvantage that occur as a consequence of the combination of identities and the intersection of sex and gender with other grounds 

- _**Trauma-informed**_ = grounded in an understanding of trauma, recognising the prevalence and impacts of trauma 

- _**Creative and Agile**_ = HARV strives to see, develop and implement initiatives in a new or different way and aims to balance new ideas and services along with work strategies that are already working. Services operate within a context of relevant inter-agency cooperation, collaboration and coordinated service delivery. 

- _**Survivors Centred**_ = preferred term for those experiencing domestic abuse and violence. 

- _**Lived experience**_ = that many of HARV’s colleagues have experienced domestic violence and/or abuse. 

- _**Women, men, trans / non-binary and child survivors**_ = a ‘women’s organisation’ stating all genders/gender identities are welcome and supported. 

## **HARV’s Organisational Objectives set the direction to achieve their vision** 



- _**Customer / Services**_ = To deliver a positive, values led, inclusive, trauma informed survivor focused domestic abuse support organisation. 

- _**Governance**_ = Be well led and organised through innovative, supportive and accountable leadership, effective financial management and governance processes. 

- _**Our People**_ = Prioritise well-being and creating the best conditions for staff to be present, focused, motivated and supported. 

- _**Growth and Business**_ = Work collaboratively, ethically and supportively, and with key partners and stakeholders towards collective aims and goals. 

## **The key objectives for during the year ended 31 March 2024 were:** 

- Financial health, to increase turnover 

- Maximising opportunities from the new DA Act 2021 to stabilise and grow DA services 

- Exploring opportunities for Unrestricted Income / social enterprise activities 

- Staff Development and Well-being 

- Further investment into the Emily Davison Centre 

- Develop services in response to individual and community need 

## **Principal Activities – Supporting Victims/survivors of abuse, exploitation and/or violence.** 

HARV’s principal activity is the provision of safe accommodation spaces and community-based support for women and children escaping violence and abuse, along with lobbying, campaigning and educating for gender safety and the end of violence against women and girls. 

HARV continues to increase the number of safe, supported units available to meet demand in Hyndburn and Ribble Valley, which is far higher than the number of safe accommodation spaces available. 



Safe Accommodation Women and Children– 3 Communal Refuges in Hyndburn, 2 dispersed, individual units. 

Safe Accommodation for Trans and non-binary people- 1 communal safe house, accommodating up to 6 adults at any time. 

## **Community Based Support Services** 

HARV deliver a range of non-accommodation support services in communities across Hyndburn and Ribble Valley and are commissioned by local authorities to deliver Community Outreach & IDVA. This work includes on-going casework support of survivors living in the community plus resettlement work as part of integrated services via a blend of face-to-face and digital/tech formats. 

HARV is also part of the ‘Safe at Home’ support service under the Lancashire Refuges commission, delivering support to survivors in the community to stay safe in the community. 

## **Children and Young People** 

HARV provide one to one and group work support to children and young people who are at risk of harm or have experienced domestic abuse. The children’s team provide direct support and CYP Healthy Relationships. HARV is part of a consortia of specialist domestic abuse providers delivering preventative domestic abuse programmes promoting and supporting safe and healthy relationships to children and young people across Lancashire schools.

## **HARV Facilities** 

HARV are based at The Emily Davison Centre, A 7000 square foot new build and home to 5 Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Charities. 

## **Development of Organisation and Staff** 

HARV maintain effective management and staffing structures, to ensure that staff and volunteers have the knowledge and skill to deliver excellent services as required, and to provide quality work placements for  social work students. Also, to help Board members govern effectively, set clear strategy, and monitor organisational effectiveness. 

## **Growth** 

HARV’s Growth Strategy concentrates on the maintenance and consolidation of existing services across Hyndburn and Ribble Valley; Property expansion is a clear ambition for 2025. 

## **Staff Health and Well-being** 

HARV prioritise health and well-being of staff with additional support and well-being activities including health care packages and clinical supervision. 

## **Volunteers** 

HARV take on volunteers in the following services: 

1. Children and Young People 

2. Minibus driving/outings and recreational events 

3. Therapeutic services where the therapist is in the final stages of formal training. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

- Financial health, to increase turnover 

Turnover reduced in the year 23/24 from 710,165 to 675,621. This is down to a number of factors, including the cost of electricity and gas, reduced income from the central government and increased workforce costs to support staff through the cost-of-living crisis. 

- Maximising opportunities from the new DA Act 2021 to stabilise and grow DA services 



HARV has entered into collaborative agreements with other DA providers across the county and as a result have won two additional contracts. HARV continue work in Ribble Valley where applying the Local Authority recommendations in the DA Act have been challenging. 

- Exploring opportunities for Unrestricted Income / social enterprise activities 

HARV supported the establishment of HARV Housing C.I.C. to manage the safe house properties. The financial benefits from this relationship will be evidenced in the accounts of 24/25. 

- Staff Development and Well-being 

HARV have undergone extensive training programme, all staff have undergone 

1. Trauma-informed training and practice 

2. Case management 

3. Anti-racism training 

4. Working positively with Trans + People who are living with DA 

5. Ally-ship in the workplace 

6. Working with victims of stalking 

6 members of staff are currently on the SafeLives IDVA / Service Manager’s course. 

- Further investment into the Emily Davison Centre 

HARV have continued to work in partnership with Hyndburn Council and the Levelling Up Fund. Plans for a centre and café have been drawn up, but the incoming government has halted funding. 

- Develop services in response to individual and community need 

HARV opened a food bank and clothes bank in partnership with fair share. Over 30 families a week access the resource. 

## **2024/2025** 

## **Employees** 



HARV is due to the focus of their services employ a predominantly female workforce. In 22/23 HARV  have broadened their service offer to include Trans + refuge services. The diversity within SafeNet is 3% male, 97% female, 21 % who self-identify as disabled, 22% who self-identify as LGBTQ+ and 27% from a BAME background. 

## **Pensions** 

All staff members are eligible for 8% workforce contribution stakeholder pension 

## **Risk Management** 

As part of HARV’s approach to risk management, HARV  has in place a risk map which is reviewed by the board on a quarterly basis. The directors have undertaken a review of the major strategic risks faced by the charity and have put in place systems to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties** 

Regular reporting on control issues provides assurance to successive levels of management and to the Board. The business has implemented a programme of control and risk self-assessment and is further embedding this at different levels of the organisation, which will continue to strengthen each business areas’ control arrangements. Utilising this approach, HARV has identified the following risks to the successful achievement of the objectives: 

- Government policy changes 

- Stability and sustainability of key contracts 

- Regulatory and legislative compliance 

- Health and safety 

- Robust forecasting 

- Income management 

- Capacity for growth 

- Staff retention 

## **Plans for future periods** 

Overall, HARV’s services are stable with the introduction of statutory funding for Domestic Abuse Accommodation in 2023... HARV continue to lead a period of consolidation in which we will focus on financial stability and delivering both new and existing services to high standards and ensure excellent performance so that ultimately all survivors receive the best possible support. We will continue to pay attention to the health and well-being 



of staff and face the challenges of the changed workplace environment. We face the difficult economic climate, housing crisis and other external pressures with a view toward continued growth where and when appropriate. 

Key objectives for 24/25 include: 

- Financial health - strong financial governance with increased efficiencies to increase turnover by 5% year-on-year 

- Growth – explore partnerships to extend 

- Work in partnership with other Women’s Aid Membership services nationally. 

- Customers - at the forefront of service development, co-design and co-production 

- Services - to embed consistently high standards of trauma informed support in a process of continuous service improvements 

- Staff - cultural reset of feminist and inclusive values, common purpose and connection 

- • Governance – clarity and scrutiny applied to our governance, finances, quality, operations and practice with additional focus on strengthening a positive and inclusive culture 

- Equality & Diversity - raise awareness, educate and take actions to advance equality and diversity in our organisation, our services and our communities 

## **HARV’s Survivors Advisory Group** 

HARV’S survivors advisory group is a women-only governance sub-group which assists in the services of HARV and champions the priorities of HARV and  supports the vision and objectives of HARV’s services; approving HARV’s key objectives, measures, and targets; budget and key strategies such as for business development and fundraising strategies such as business development and fundraising and also monitors and assists management of company performance via the agreed KPI’s. 

The group supports the interests of victims and survivors of domestic abuse accessing services and whilst the interests will vary from time to time this will include: 

- Promoting a gendered understanding of domestic abuse and violence as a cause and consequence of women’s inequality within society. 

- Promoting service development and quality in line with national best practice, including the Women’s Aid National Quality Standards 

## **Women’s Aid Membership and (WAFE) National Standards** 

HARV  are a member of Women’s Aid and will renew the WAFE National Standards in 2025. 



## **Reserves Policy** 

The HARV Reserves Policy states that we will aim to keep unrestricted reserves to cover at least 6  months of variable expenditure to cover costs that are not contract related where we may not have notice of changes. 

The current level of free reserves is £392,225 

This is a calculation of the unrestricted funds less the unrestricted tangible & intangible fixed assets. We have not designated anything for essential future spending. 

The Directors will monitor and review the level of reserves annually, in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. 

## **Going Concern** 

The Board have concluded that through the ongoing monitoring of financial performance and risk management that it is reasonable to expect that the organisation and subsidiaries have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities in respect of the Annual Report & Financial Statements** 

The Directors are responsible for preparing the directors’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 financial statements, the Directors are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 



The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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. 

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 



## **Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors** 

The Board, who were in office on the date of approval of these financial statements, have confirmed, as far as they are aware, that there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware. Each of the Board members have confirmed that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that it has been communicated to the auditors. 

## **Auditor** 

CW Accountants were appointed as auditors in November 2022, for a period of 3 years with an option for a further 2 years. 

## **Independent Auditor’s Report** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT), which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

## **Opinion Other Information:** 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my atten- 



tion in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
Message from the Chief Executive Officer
Domestic abuse affects as many as 2.1 million people a year across England and Wales and has an ettsnomic
and social cosl of 66 billion pounds per annum.
Specialisl domestic abuse services like HARV provide lifesaving support lo violims and survivors of domestic
abuse, including counselling, refuge, safely planning and advocacy.
Statutory services such as social care and policing rely on our specialisl serwces lo function effectively and
prevent serious further harm as part of a coordinated multi-agency
response to domestic abuse.
Given the increasing need for support, Ihe rising cost of living, and the local authority financial crisis, our
specialist services-already struggling lo meet demand-face a real, significant risk of funding cuts. This could
increase the risk to victims, skyrocket pressure on other local services. and threaten the loss of decades of
expertise built up within the domestic abuse sector.

TRUSTEES. REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES- Continued
Message from the Chlef Executive Officer- continued
We welcome the commitment to reduce domestic abuse by half from the incoming Labour government, and we
support the Domestic Abuse Commissioners, (DAC) call to introduce a stalulory duly to fund community-based
domestic abLtse services, including dedicated. iingfenced funding for specialist 'by and for, services.
Guaranteeing ring-fen￿d future funding for accomfflodation-based services, via the Safe Accommodation Duly,
as a separate Section 31 grant beyond March 2025 and the issuing a regular National Slalement on need,
informed by local joint needs assessments, lo enable robust, belleT informed. more strategic decision-making at
the national level.
Charges and convictions of domeslic abuse have dropped significantly in the last 7 years., we welcome the DA
Commissionerfs call to drive up standards and consistency in the end-to-end criminal justice response. All
Police offI￿[S should be trained in domestic abuse and coercive control.
One in Five children experience domestic abuse. and the DA Act of 2021 recognised Ihem as victims in their
own right. At HARV, we will continue to push for a whole school approach lo tackling abuse, including the
development of RSHE CLtrriculum and providing children and young people with Ihe appropriate knowledge to
recognise signs of abuse, develop skills to seek support and ultimately prevent abuse in the future.
We also welcome the DAC recommendations for cultural change in the family courts. The len recommendations
to transform the family justice system into one with a culture of safely and proteclion from harm, one where
¢hlldren's needs and the impact of domestic abuse are central considerations.
Over the last decade, there has been no reduclion in domestic abuse homicides,. the new domestic abuse-
related death reviews have the opportunily to bring value to our local agencies.
The eslablishmenl ofthe Domestic Homicides and Suicides Oversight Mechanism IDHOM) will now monitor
implemenlalion and draw together key themes to learn lessons and prevent future deaths. hllps'.Ilhomicide-
review.homeoffice.gov.ukl
In Hyndburn, we have seen a 14.80A increase in Domestic Abuse reported incidences and 15.29h in sexual
assaults. Similarly, The Ribble Valley saw an increase of 4.2°h in the same period.
In the midst of all the political, social and economic challenges, HARV continues to work towards a society where
adults, children and families can live safely and freely from abuse, exploitation, and violence.
HARV continues lo deal with unprecedenled issues for our sector and for the vulnerable people we support. We
continue lo be challenged with an increased need for our services al a time when our capacity and resources are
significantly reduced. This is in addilion to an already complex political and economic environment that has
already decimated so many specialists ending violence against women and girls, charities across the UK.
Amongst all the issues, the team have been resilienl, and we have successfully met our slrategic and operational
objectives for Ihe year. These include:
The opening of an additional 7 units of temporary safe house accommodation in Hyndburn
Further investment into the UK'S first Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Hub.
Development of a mulli-agency team that meels the complexity of the needs of our service users.
Services under one roof that are responsive and delivered al the correct time, having several improved
outcomes for adults, children and families.
The cosl-of-living crisis is impacting not only on our service users but also on our frontline workers.
We hoped to open a charity shop in 2024,. a full consullalion was conducled in partnership with sector experts
and Lloyds Bank Foundation. This has been transferred to the project plan for 2026.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'lrue and fairf view and have departed from
the Charities (AcGounts and Reports) Regulations 2(K)8 only to the exlenl required to provide a 'lrue
and fai¢ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16
July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Slalemenl of Recommended
Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial slalements have been prepared under the historical cost convenlion with items
recognised al cost or Iransaclion value unless othe￿iSe stated in the relevant notes lo these
accounts. The financial slalemenls have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Statement of
Recommended Practi￿.. Accounling and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in Ihe UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS
102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and
R8public of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

1.2 GOING CONCERN
Although there has been change to the approach to commissioning of funds leading to a loss of
funding the trustees are satisfied that the charily has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. There are no material uncertainties that cause doubt about the
ability of the charity lo continue as a going concern. The trustees are comfortable with the reserves
held by the charity and have obtained further comfort from the addilional funding already obtained to
facililale a transition period and ensure the conlinualion of service. As a rèsult the trustees feel that it
is appropriate lo Continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.
1.3 INCOME
All income is recognised once the charity has entillemenl to the income, il is probable Ihat the
income will be received and the amount of income re￿1vable can be measured reliably.
For legacies. enlitlement is taken as the earlier of Ihe date on which either.. the charity is aware Ihal
probate has been granted, the eslale has been finalised and notification has been made by Ihe
executorls) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the
eslale. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part. is only considered probable when the amour)t can be
measured reliably and the charily has been notified of Ihe executor's intention lo make a dislribulion.
Where legacies have been notified lo the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate,
and the criteria for income recognition have not been mel. then the legacy is Irealed as a conlingenl
asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any
conditions associated with the donated item have been mel, the receipi of economic benefit from the
use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefil can be measured reliably. In
accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). the general volunteer time of the Friends is not
recognised and refer to the Truslees, report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the
value of the gift to the charily which is the amount the charity would have been willing lo pay to
obtain services or facililies of equivalent economic benefit on the open markel. a corresponding
amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
Message from the Chief Executive Officer
Domestic abuse affects as many as 2.1 million people a year across England and Wales and has an ettsnomic
and social cosl of 66 billion pounds per annum.
Specialisl domestic abuse services like HARV provide lifesaving support lo violims and survivors of domestic
abuse, including counselling, refuge, safely planning and advocacy.
Statutory services such as social care and policing rely on our specialisl serwces lo function effectively and
prevent serious further harm as part of a coordinated multi-agency
response to domestic abuse.
Given the increasing need for support, Ihe rising cost of living, and the local authority financial crisis, our
specialist services-already struggling lo meet demand-face a real, significant risk of funding cuts. This could
increase the risk to victims, skyrocket pressure on other local services. and threaten the loss of decades of
expertise built up within the domestic abuse sector.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES- Continued
Message from the Chlef Executive Officer- continued
We welcome the commitment to reduce domestic abuse by half from the incoming Labour government, and we
support the Domestic Abuse Commissioners, (DAC) call to introduce a stalulory duly to fund community-based
domestic abLtse services, including dedicated. iingfenced funding for specialist 'by and for, services.
Guaranteeing ring-fen￿d future funding for accomfflodation-based services, via the Safe Accommodation Duly,
as a separate Section 31 grant beyond March 2025 and the issuing a regular National Slalement on need,
informed by local joint needs assessments, lo enable robust, belleT informed. more strategic decision-making at
the national level.
Charges and convictions of domeslic abuse have dropped significantly in the last 7 years., we welcome the DA
Commissionerfs call to drive up standards and consistency in the end-to-end criminal justice response. All
Police offI￿[S should be trained in domestic abuse and coercive control.
One in Five children experience domestic abuse. and the DA Act of 2021 recognised Ihem as victims in their
own right. At HARV, we will continue to push for a whole school approach lo tackling abuse, including the
development of RSHE CLtrriculum and providing children and young people with Ihe appropriate knowledge to
recognise signs of abuse, develop skills to seek support and ultimately prevent abuse in the future.
We also welcome the DAC recommendations for cultural change in the family courts. The len recommendations
to transform the family justice system into one with a culture of safely and proteclion from harm, one where
¢hlldren's needs and the impact of domestic abuse are central considerations.
Over the last decade, there has been no reduclion in domestic abuse homicides,. the new domestic abuse-
related death reviews have the opportunily to bring value to our local agencies.
The eslablishmenl ofthe Domestic Homicides and Suicides Oversight Mechanism IDHOM) will now monitor
implemenlalion and draw together key themes to learn lessons and prevent future deaths. hllps'.Ilhomicide-
review.homeoffice.gov.ukl
In Hyndburn, we have seen a 14.80A increase in Domestic Abuse reported incidences and 15.29h in sexual
assaults. Similarly, The Ribble Valley saw an increase of 4.2°h in the same period.
In the midst of all the political, social and economic challenges, HARV continues to work towards a society where
adults, children and families can live safely and freely from abuse, exploitation, and violence.
HARV continues lo deal with unprecedenled issues for our sector and for the vulnerable people we support. We
continue lo be challenged with an increased need for our services al a time when our capacity and resources are
significantly reduced. This is in addilion to an already complex political and economic environment that has
already decimated so many specialists ending violence against women and girls, charities across the UK.
Amongst all the issues, the team have been resilienl, and we have successfully met our slrategic and operational
objectives for Ihe year. These include:
The opening of an additional 7 units of temporary safe house accommodation in Hyndburn
Further investment into the UK'S first Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Hub.
Development of a mulli-agency team that meels the complexity of the needs of our service users.
Services under one roof that are responsive and delivered al the correct time, having several improved
outcomes for adults, children and families.
The cosl-of-living crisis is impacting not only on our service users but also on our frontline workers.
We hoped to open a charity shop in 2024,. a full consullalion was conducled in partnership with sector experts
and Lloyds Bank Foundation. This has been transferred to the project plan for 2026.

Our core services are funded by Lancashire County Council, Lloyds Bank Foundation, The Rank Foundation,
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Tudor Trust and BBC Children in Need, Hyndburn
Borough Council, SafeNel, Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioners Office and Women's Aid Federation.
We conlinue lo respond lo victims of abuse who are in crisis, have a need for support. are ready for recovery
and are then able to move on and live fully independently. We know that every afea of an individual's life can be
adversely affected by the perpetration of abuse, and thus our services are designed to respond to this in a timely
and holistic way.
Throughout all the legislative, political. social and economic changes. we have and will continue to provide high-
quality services to victims of domestic abuse. We are a strong, experienced and determined team that will
always meet new challenges with resilien￿ and drive; we are commilled lo ensuring Ihal victims of domestic
abuse gel the very best service and support they need in order to nol only live their lives free from violence bul to
recover and thrive in the futurè. To this avail. HARV will complete the WA Qualily Framework and Standards in

I would like lo lake this opportunity lo thank all supporters and slakehold8rs, most importantly lo thank the
frontline team here at HARV who work tirelessly lo ensure individuals and families are safe., and I very much look
forward to the forthcoming Labour government investment into the sector.
Debble Fawcett CEO
Message from the Chalr.
This is my fifth year as chair of HARV, and I want to reilerale what the CEO has said previously and show my
gratitude to the staff team on the frontline. Every day they go above and beyond to ensure child and adult victims
ofabuse gel the support they so desperately need.
We continue lo provide timely and trauma-infomed support to adults and children with severe and complex
needs,. we provide crisis intervention al limes when there is no one else to help. We provide legal advice,
advocacy, accommodation, work with children and. more recently, food and essential items.
Our wrap-around care means that we can deal with any issues or needs that have arisen because of the
experience of abuse and violence because as well we know, abuse can and often does impact on all areas of an
individual's life. Our business manager and execulive leadership learn are leading a fundraising strategy that will
enable us to meet and resource the additional demands on our services.
We will have lo wail and see what happens within the next few monlhs,. l am, however confident Ihal l am
surrounded by the best and most hard-working team in the sector and that we will survive these turbulent limes.

Last year's lessons led us lo reflecl on our fulure approach lo funding. Subsequently, we increased
independence and self-sufficiency by developing social enterprise activities to support and complement our work

enables us lo remain competitive while remaining true to our principles and values.
Our new Centre opened in De￿rnber 2019, and our 6 independent safe houses are up and running. Planning for

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'lrue and fairf view and have departed from
the Charities (AcGounts and Reports) Regulations 2(K)8 only to the exlenl required to provide a 'lrue
and fai¢ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16
July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Slalemenl of Recommended
Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial slalements have been prepared under the historical cost convenlion with items
recognised al cost or Iransaclion value unless othe￿iSe stated in the relevant notes lo these
accounts. The financial slalemenls have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Statement of
Recommended Practi￿.. Accounling and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in Ihe UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS
102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and
R8public of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.
HARV Outreach Team constilules a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 GOING CONCERN
Although there has been change to the approach to commissioning of funds leading to a loss of
funding the trustees are satisfied that the charily has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. There are no material uncertainties that cause doubt about the
ability of the charity lo continue as a going concern. The trustees are comfortable with the reserves
held by the charity and have obtained further comfort from the addilional funding already obtained to
facililale a transition period and ensure the conlinualion of service. As a rèsult the trustees feel that it
is appropriate lo Continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting.
1.3 INCOME
All income is recognised once the charity has entillemenl to the income, il is probable Ihat the
income will be received and the amount of income re￿1vable can be measured reliably.
For legacies. enlitlement is taken as the earlier of Ihe date on which either.. the charity is aware Ihal
probate has been granted, the eslale has been finalised and notification has been made by Ihe
executorls) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the
eslale. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part. is only considered probable when the amour)t can be
measured reliably and the charily has been notified of Ihe executor's intention lo make a dislribulion.
Where legacies have been notified lo the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate,
and the criteria for income recognition have not been mel. then the legacy is Irealed as a conlingenl
asset and disclosed if material.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any
conditions associated with the donated item have been mel, the receipi of economic benefit from the
use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefil can be measured reliably. In
accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). the general volunteer time of the Friends is not
recognised and refer to the Truslees, report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the
value of the gift to the charily which is the amount the charity would have been willing lo pay to
obtain services or facililies of equivalent economic benefit on the open markel. a corresponding
amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs altribulable lo a single
activity are allocated directly lo Ihal activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity
and support costs which are not allribulable to a single aclivily are apportioned between Ihose
