advancement of education, furtherance of health and the relief of poverty and distress.
Our vision is,. To eradicate violence against women and girls
Our mission statement is: To engage, enable and empower women to move away from abuse, and to move
forward with their lives
Our value statement is: Her Centre is a woman-focused, women-led organisation. We believe that domestlc

Sectlon I: Ongoing Support to Women Experlenclng Abuse
Her Centre continues to receive hlgh levels of referrals, with an increase of 31% on cllents engaged from 5
year5 a80. This year we had 1058 referrals which is a slight decrease from last year of just 58 referrals. Our
engagements includlng women attending our one stop shop were 749. We afe seeing more women with
complex challenges that can be a barrier to leaving abuse, such as mental 111 health, substance misuse
problems, and having unsettled status in the country. For these reasons many women need to try leaving a
number of times before all the support they need Is in place to succeed. Our recent grant from City Bridge
Trust will allow us to employ a complex needs domestic vlolence advocate to better support women facing
multiple challenges.
We can often help women experiencing abuse who have unsettled status to access advlce on the right to
remain and benefits, as well as to leave abuse. but many don't realise we can offer this, To get thls message
out we have expanded our outreach to both Eltham and Thamesmead. We contlnue to run our 3 basic English
classes for 12 weeks 3 times a year, and inform the student5 of our range of services, which can also lead to
some women seeking help with domestic abuse.
Section 2: Performance and Outcomes
Below are the outcomes we gathered from our exit survey with women we support. They show lower levels
than last year reflecting the increase in complex cases where women are less sure that they are safe and so
less confidence and feeling of self-control. We hope our new post and our Joint work with the council's
Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme will improve this, Fortunately. women Still Show strong awareness of
where to access help.

Sectlon 3: Training Programme for GPS on Recognlslng Abuse
Our Health programme has been renewed again for 2024/25. Thls is a training and support programme where
Her Centre provide Greenwich GP practices with specialist tralning and then takes referrals from the surgerie5
to support women into safety. We have amended the training to be done as open training for all GPS run 6 to 8
times a year, rather than runnlng for each surgery, as this will better allow new GP staff to get trained. We
trained 73 GPS last year and had 50 referrals.
Sectlon 4: Support for Women In Accesslng Houslng
Our Housing Independent Domestic Violence Advocate {IDVAI p05t is based in the council Houslng Options
team two days a week supporting women who present as homeless due to abuse. This post has built strong
links with housing and given addltional support to women to understand where they can stay safe. We have
worked to improve the types of temporary housing clients find themselves in, but recognise the lack of
housing available, and press to keep families out of hotels wlth no cooking facilities. Last year we supported
176 women referred through housing or with housing as their primary need.

Sectlon 5: Support for Children of Familles where there has been Abuse
Our Children's IDVA continues to work with children and famllles affected by abuse. taking referrals from
Children's Soclal Services and once chlldren are engaged referrlng to counselling provided by Deborah Ubee

build better relationships with their non-abusive parent.
SECTION 6: SUPPORT FOR GIRLS WHO EXPERIENCE ABUSE.
Our project for teenage glrls continues and has helped girls facing a range of challenges includlng bullying as
well as abuse by their peers. We have had hlgh levels of engagement by working wlth other support providers
to best meet girls on their own terms and then provlde one to one sessions on consent, healthy relatlonships
and look at buildlng up their resillence. Girls and young women face huge challenge5 where boys are not
challenged for thelr abuse. We are fortunate that the Violence Reductlon Unit are funding us to work with
teachers in secondary schools this year to glve them the tools to discuss misogyny in a way that boys and girls
can respond to positively, This work starts from September 2024.
Sectlon 7: Sexual Abuse Support

their children with no cooking facilities, and both the cabinet lead for Housing and the assistant dlrector of
housing were there to take questions and hear people's concerns and experiences. Our October event focused
on Young People and situationships, which included an workshop from a Little Fish and talks from our own

Children's Advocate as well as Young Mums, East Chlldrens, Centre Director, Pause service that supports
mothers with children in care and Amour Destine that supports care leavers. In all we had 173 people attend

council.
Sectlon 13: Fundralslng
Her Centre wa5 looking at a large deficit In November for the current financial year but now have a much
smaller gap to fill. Our fundraising with the Big Glve match funding programme was much smaller last year due
to only one round rather than two, so we hope to increase our donations in the current year. While we are
managing, short term grants from central government often limits the depth of seNice we can provide to the
most complex cases. who need numerous calls and appointments to stay engaged. We are grateful to City
Bridge for funding for 5 years for our complex needs Post.

Judgements and key sources of estlmatlon uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting pollcles, the directors are requlred to make judgement5,
estimates and assumptions about the carrylng amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are consldered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognlsed in the periods in which the estimate is revised where revisions affects only that
perlod, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revisions affects both current and future
periods,
Income
Grant income Is recognised in the year of receipt unle55 the terms of the grant match the funding to a specific
time perlod or provision of service. As a result our the recording of our grant income within these financial

particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central st3ff
costs allocated on the basls of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activlties and those
costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functlons and have been allocated to activity cost cateEorie5 on a basis
consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff
costs by the time spent and other costs by their u5a8e.

These include the costs attributable to the chariWs compliance with constitutional and statutory
requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or Services performed in the ordlnary
course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade
debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity wlll not be able to collect all amounts
due according to the original terms of the recelvables.
Cash and cash equlvalents
Cash and cash equlvalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly Ilquid
Investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an inslgnificant risk of
change In value.
Trade credltors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from supplSers. Accounts payable are classified as current liablllties if the charity does not have an
unconditional right. at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve
months after the reportlng date. If there is an uncondltional rlght to defer settlement for at least twelve
months after the reportlng date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortlsed cost
using the effective interest method.
Penslons and other post retlrement obllgatlons
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a penslon plan under which lixed
contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructlve obllgation to pay further
contrlbutions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the beneflts relatlng to
employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contribution5 to defined contrlbution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they
are due. If contributlon payments exceed the contribution due for servlce, the excess is recognised as a
prepayment.
