Our aims are to provlde and dellver services to all sectors of the community irrespectNe of thelr financial status.
Revlew of actlvltles Directors, Report In 2024125, we supported 1,739 people affected by abuse, alongside their familles and children. Our SeIce users ranged from 16 to 99 years old, refletting that abuse has no boundaries of age or background. As with every year, demand has increased across each of our projects. Most people we support stay with us for six rnonths, but many need longer. Court delays, often two to three years, mean that we frequently reopen cases, so clients have the support they need before their hearing. Some of our Evergreen cllents have been with us into theirthlrd year, showing the importance of long-term care and ongoing connection. Afft>rdable living and houslng shortages tontinue to have the most impact on those we support. Many families have been unable to leave abusive situations because of rislng private rents and a lack of safe housing. Wlth refuges full, some survivors are forced to stsy at home, sofa surf. or return to ovefcmwded households. In some cases. multlple generations from the same family have been referred as virtims of a single perpetrator. Where famllies are placed In emergency housing Outslde the borou8h, we have travelled to continue our support - whether they were moved to Burnley. Blackburn, Preston, Chorley or Blackpool. We then assist them when they return to our area. We continue to tsllor our senAces to each Individual: Home vlslts are our main approach, but we also offer onllne and telephone support. In urgent cases, we provlde food and clothlng vouchers, emergency phones, personal alamis, home starter packs, and transport and safety packs to help people flee safely. Our group programrne °Staying Safe Togethert ha5 delivered courses on HeolthyRelationshlps, Coplng with Anxlety. and Personolsufety, alongside our wlder public access Bystander Awareness workshop. Our counselling service has been in hlgh demand, with many clients chooslng thls pathway once caseworker support ends. We are in our second year of partnership with Bury College, welcoming seven student counsellors who manage thelr own caseloads under supervlslon. Despite thks added capacity, the waitlng Ilst remains around four months, and we are seekln8 investment to expand further. This year has shown once again the resillence of our cllent5 and the dedlcatlon of our staff and volunteers. Together, we are helplng people rebulld thelr lives, even in the face of the housing crisis, court delays, and rising demand. Safe Haven Project: The Safe Haven Project has operated slnce 21J]5, provlding home-based and community support, advocacyi group work, and counselling for up to 12 months. In April 2024, Bolton Council commissioned Safe Haven under the new contract name Sanctuary Plus. We partlclpated in this tender as part of a consortlum bid led by Bofton at Home, whlch was successful in securing the contract. As part of this arrangement, a dedlcated referral pathway for children has been subcontracted to Fortalice. For our subcontract, two adult caseworkers contlnue the work of Safe Haven, now delivered underthe Sanctuary Plus contract. During 2024125, referrals across both Safe Haven and Sanctuary Plus Increased to 544 individuals and thelr famllies, with sUPPOrt delivered across every ward in Bolton. The projett provides tailored support packages to women, men, children, and their pets who are experiencing domestic abuse. Our support addresses both physical and emotional needs, with a focus on short- and long-tenn recovery goals. We work with people until they are ready to rnove on to other services or exft the projett.
In addition to commissioned worl fvndralsing has enabled us to provide Home Emergency Packs for famllies. These Include essential items such as kitchen equipment, beddln& toiletrles. and food vouchers, helping families to establlsh safe and stable homes as they rebuild thelr lives. The Haven: The Local Authority continued to fund The Haven Project until May 2024 as part of its safe accommodation duties under the Domestlc Abuse Act 2021. The servlce was subsequently put out to commlssioning as a non- refuge contratt. We entered a consortium with Fortalice where we provide support for the adults and they deliver dedicated support for chlldren, and our joint bid was successful. The non-refuge contratt was awarded from April 2024. Referrals to The Haven Project are prlmarily recelved from Housing Optlons and caseworkers in other supported houslng projects. SeNice user5 are accommodated in emergency houslng, temporary accommodation, and dispersed properties. The Haven also provldes support to Indlviduals who are translent or sofa surfin& a group which Is Increasing in number, partlcularly among people with no recourse to publicfund5 due to their immigration ststus. In such cases, Haven caseworkers work alongside the Panah Projett workers, who provlde specialist support around immlgration and settlement issues. Haven delivers direct support to vulnerable women. men, and children escaping domestic abuse. Many cllents requlre Emergency Horne Pocks when movlng Into temporary accomrnodation. These include air beds, sleeping bags, beddin& towels, kitchen essentlals, tolletrles, and food vouchers. During the year, we successfully accessed Cost of Llving grants to Sustaln familles wlth these essentials, ensuring thelr Immediate need5 are met while they begln to rebulld thelr lives. In 2025126, The Haven Project will contlnue to provlde vltal non-refuge accommodation support for Individuals and families fleelng domestlc abuse. We wlll focus on strengthenlng referral pathways w5th HousinE Opt5ons and sUPPOrted houslng providers to ensure tlmely access to safe accommodatlon.

We recognlsethe 8rowlng demand withln thls group and will explore addltional funding opportunities to sustaSn and expand our capacity to respond. We will also bulld on the success of accessing Cost of Llvlng grants by seeking further financSal support to malntain and enhance the provlslon of Emergenry Home Packs. These prartical resources remain a Ilfellne for familles entering temporary accommodatlon, helping them establish a sense of stability and dignity during crisis. Our alm is to remain responslve to emerglng needs across Bolton, ensuring The Haven contlnues to offer compassionate. practical, and effective support to those most at risk. YPDVA Project: The Young Person's IDVA (YPDVAI service bridges the gap between chIldn,5 social care/safeguarding and domestic abuse 5ervlces by developing a recognised Integrated care pathway. Thls pathway enables young people's cases to be safely referred through the Multi-Agency Rlsk Assessrnent Conference {MARACI. The service is funded by BoEton Communlty Safety and the Ministry of Justice {MOJ). Funding from the MOJ has enabled us to extend and further develop the YPDVA role to Include preventatlve work and educatlon for all young people aged IFr19. This preventative strand raises awarenes5 of healthy relationships, supports early intervention, and helps reduce the iisk of young people entering abusive relationships. Panah Project: The Panah Projert supports individuals from racialised communities who are experiencing dDme5tic abuse, includTng those at risk of forced marriage, female genital mutilation {FGM), honour-based abuse, and other
harmful practices. Many Panah Serv1 user5 have Insecu immigration status wlth some havlng no recourse to publicfunds.

Over the past ftve years, the number of indNKluals supported by Panah has grown slgnlflcantly from 50 to 227 in the current year. The Panah Project is entirely unfunded and relles on the charit5 fvndraising activities to SU5tsin its work.

The Project Lead continues to play an Influential role as a founding member of the Greater Manchester BAME Women's NetworK ensurlng that the voices of women from racialised communities are represented at a strategic level. Sunrlse Project: The Sunrise Project was established in January 2023 In partnershlp wlth SafeLlves, as part of the Chlldren Affetted by Domestic Abuse (CADA) funding programme. The project is a pilot Initlative working With families from the Panah Project, who have acted as a consultatlon 8roup throughout its developrneTrt.

A consultation group of Panah families has played a central role in scrutlnlslng the content, which has been subsequently adapted by trainlng partners Rockpool, NDADA, and My CWA. The revised Recovery Toolktts have now been delivered to families, whlle research Into the pllot has been undertaken by the Universityof Central Lancashlre {UCLanl.

Many of the people supported are vulnerable indlviduals often with long term health issues who experience multlple fomis of deprivation and exclusion.
