## **Our aims and objectives** 

Our charity's purposes, as set out in the objects contained in the company's memorandum of association, are to; 

Promote for the public benefit, the provision of services directed towards the prevention of domestic violence and the relief and support of persons who are in danger of suffering such violence, to advance the education of the voluntary and statutory agencies and the public in all aspects of domestic violence, it's causes and prevention. 

## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims** 

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of our activities and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

## **The focus of our work** 

Our main objectives for the year continued to be to seek to alleviate the suffering experienced by anyone affected by domestic abuse and violence and to raise awareness within the community to promote early intervention, prevention and resilience building. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included: 

   - Providing a range of services which are responsive to client needs and address the potential problems related to domestic abuse. 

- Focussing upon limiting the harm which comes with domestic abuse, not only for the individual but also their family and friends and the wider community of the Wigan Borough. Working in partnership with other agencies to provide an holistic network of support that reduces the risk of 

- harm and addresses client needs. 

## **How our activities deliver public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on providing advice and support to anyone affected by domestic abuse to reduce the risk of harm and

promote recovery from their experiences and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

## **Local context** 

In the 12 months ending March 2021 - 

   - 68% of Domestic Abuse victims reported to the police were female. However, data from other supporting services suggest this figure is higher. 

   - The most prevalent areas for Domestic Abuse crime and victim’s residence were Siddow Common (Leigh), Higher Folds North (Leigh) & Hag Fold East (Atherton) Domestic Abuse was most significant in victims aged 25- 34 and 35-44 

   - 74% of Domestic Abuse offenders, between 2016 and 2019, were male compared to 24% Female. 25% were of these offenders were also victims of Domestic Abuse in the same period. The most common age for offenders was consistent with the victims, being 25-34. 

- The most prevalent areas for Domestic Abuse are in the most deprived areas in the Borough, 

- however it is acknowledged that the rate may be higher in the more deprived areas due to underreporting 

Our monitoring suggests those that we provided support to broadly reflect these statistics. 

## **Who used and benefited from our services?** 

During the financial year we assisted over 700 clients who were directly impacted by domestic abuse, which was a very significant increase on previous years. In line with our objectives and funding all service users resided within the Wigan Borough. 

The Coronavirus Pandemic impacted significantly on our day to day operations, a marked increase in people accessing the service for support was recorded. During the pandemic the majority of support for individuals affected by domestic abuse was offered over the phone to ensure service continuity and to keep residents within the community safe and healthy. Our helpline received over 3000 calls during the reporting period. 

The usual main areas of charitable activity are the provision of drop in's, community outreach, helpline, counselling, group support programmes and healthy relationship sessions for children and young people. 

## **Income and funding** 

From the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak and associated lock downs, Central Government were aware that DA was a very real issue for many vulnerable people.  Funding was provided through the regional government schemes and grant making charities to help provide support and meet demand. Due to this funding DIAS was able to adapt quickly to the needs of our clients and ensure minimal disruption to our support offer. 


3 



Awards for All funding allowed us to pay staff for extra hours worked to meet the needs of service users. Initially, staff generously volunteered their time to meet the increased demand so this funding allowed us to do this more sustainably. It also allowed us to recruit an additional staff member. 

Ministry of Justice funding that was administered via the PCC/GMCA provided the infrastructure and further additional staff to successfully launch a dedicated helpline for people affected by domestic abuse within the borough. We also created a service level agreement and partnership with another local charity to deliver the outcomes. 

Forever Manchester funding allowed us to devise an online E-learning package together with training sessions to increase knowledge of domestic abuse of professionals and the wider community of Wigan & Leigh. This training programme equipped the community with knowledge around domestic abuse to help learners to recognise the signs and enable early intervention and protection from further harm. 

During the year we were successful in our bid to deliver community domestic abuse services on behalf of Wigan Council, the contract is delivered in partnership with another local charity and includes drop in's, community outreach, helpline, healthy relationship sessions in schools, group recovery programmes, adult counselling and training responsibilities. The contract began on 1st October 2020 and can be renewed annually for up to 3 years. 

We also continued the delivery of children's counselling and therapy sessions as a subcontractor of Child Action North West, who deliver the Lancashire County Council early help and well being contract. 

Thank you to Corptel UK for their generous donation to support our work. 

## **Note from the Board of Trustees** 

The Board of Trustees would like to thank all of the volunteers, staff, funders, stakeholders and donors for their commitment and support during the financial year.
