**SAHWR (Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **Chair's Report** 

## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## Overview: 

This year has been one of the most challenging years ever in the history of SAHWR as the pandemic hit. COVID 19. This challenged every area of our work, our staff, and clients. 

Additional pressures were placed on all our services; in our work particularly in the community with the drastic rise in domestic abuse cases being reported in the county and with community staff working remotely we had to make use of virtual platforms ensuring the level and quality of service was not affected by the impact of the virus. 

Refuge accommodation did not work with remote working and the vulnerability of residents meant that refuge staff continued to work with the accommodation, adapting the way they worked to ensure the refuges stayed virus free. 

. The child support workers have provided an excellent service for all our children who were unable to attend school by devising ways to provide stability for them within the restraints of lockdown, ensuring they did not miss out on the education and playtimes. 

Staff continued to provide the Triple R programme either virtually or face to face sessions for residents. 

## New Property: 

In the midst of all this we managed to move into our new accommodation in Dacorum and through all the generous donations received we're able to decorate and furnish the property to our usual high standard. This has proved to be a successful move and a welcome home for residents 

## Finance: 

Building on the financial improvement that had started at the end of last year, additional funds have been available during the pandemic which have been put to good use for the service. However further financial restraints brought about by the pandemic e.g. when a resident vacates a room we have to leave the room for 72 hours before we can have staff go in to clean the room and make ready for the next client thus causing a large increase in the number of voids recorded and a big loss of income. Initially we had to purchase testing kits and protective gear for staff to make it safe for them to go into our properties; all extra costing out of our budget and making the situation with finances challenging. 

## Funding for the future: 

We have now acquired the services of Competitive Solutions, a fund raising organisation to help with future fund raising ventures. So far they have acquired extra funding for various organisations and grant providers and we look forward to working with them over the coming months to improve our financial status further. Subcontract: 

During the year we have worked hard to maintain our subcontracted obligations with Saferplaces and have developed a good working relationship. The current contract is due to finish in March 2022, which means we will be facing another year of uncertainty for all the services offered by SAHWR. The contract will be going out to tender later this year. 

## Staff: 

We now have a fully qualified staff team all holding professional qualifications that enables us to offer specialist domestic abuse services. The Management Team cannot express how proud they are of the way the Managers and staff teams have coped with the pressure placed on them during this pandemic and how they kept the service running throughout. 

We also welcomed a new member to the Staff team Aartie, who joined us as a DAPW. 

## Management: 

It has been a difficult time for the M/C also at this time, making sure staff had all the requirements for keeping themselves and the residents safe, making sure we had testing kits and Protective clothing. Despite only having 6 members, all have worked hard to this end. It has been difficult to recruit new members during lockdown but hope soon to have some new recruits on board in the coming months. 

My personal thanks go out to my colleagues for the work and commitment they have volunteered over the last year. 

My thanks also to George Arthur (accountants) for all the sound advice and support they have given us this trying year.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of SAHWR (Company Limited by Guarantee) (Registered number: 03526335)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of SAHWR (Company Limited by Guarantee) ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

The trustees have allocated the support costs on a headcount basis, which they deem to be most accurate. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Houses equipment -   25% on cost and 25% on reducing balance Computer & office equipment - 25% on reducing balance 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost but only assets costing £100 or more are capitalised. 

The holding values of assets are regularly reviewed for impairment and where deemed appropriate are written down. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **20. DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS** 

## **Refuge Work** 

All income and expenditure not allocated to a specific fund is included in this unrestricted fund. 

## **Safer Places** 

Safer Places covers some of the housing support given to individual clients. It also partly covers community work (Outreach services) in all 5 areas covered by SAHWR and to facilitate Triple R programmes quarterly sessions around empowering domestic abuse clients. 

## **BBC Children in need** 

The grant the charity receives from BBC Children in Need partly funds the Child support workers role, including the resettlement project. 

## **Children's Fund** 

SAHWR has dedicated child support workers who support children and young people aged 0-16 years, both in accommodation and within the community. All children and young people we work with have suffered the trauma of living in households where there is domestic abuse and are often hidden victims. Our role with children and young people is to start the process of recovery; our work is about allowing chidden to be children and helping them make positive memories through play, outings and activities, developing safe, consistent relationships with adults and supporting the resident parent in providing consistent care and support. This work is a vital part of the services we provide stopping the cycle of domestic abuse experienced. 

## **Macklers Farm** 

Macklers Farm is a residential property for our clients. Donations to this fund are used for the initial set up and on going refurbishment of the property, including the conversion of the garage as an office. 

## **Herts Community Foundation** 

The grant partly covers the costs of one support worker and their IT equipment. 

## **NHS** 

This grant will go towards a key project worker for a year for our clients from April 2021. 

## **Open Door** 

This grant goes towards a part time key project worker for a year for our clients, again from April 2021. 

## **National Lottery 'Awards for All'** 

This grant goes towards the costs for a year of one support worker, IT equipment and telephone. 

## **GMSP Foundation (Interpreting services)** 

The grant is for interpreting and translation services for our clients, both residential and outreach.
