Revlew of actlvltles
Directors, Report
In 2024125, we supported 1,739 people affected by abuse, alongside their familles and children. Our Se￿Ice
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.
A key prlorlty w511 be supportlng those wSth no recoutse to publlcfunds, working Close￿ with the Panah
Project to address complex Immlgratlon and settlement needs. 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 chIld￿n,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.
Panah receives more self-referrals than any other project, with rnany recommendations made through word
of rnouth by former clients. 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 charit￿5 fvndraising activities to SU5tsin its work.
The team works closely with l(Kal and Greater Manchester immigration services to provlde hollstlc support
to clierts.
To rneet the needs of Bolton's diverse communltles, the Panah team speak four community languages, and
service information Is avallable in Gujaratl. Urdu, Hungarian, Arabic, and Polish, with Swahill and French
recently added In response to communlty demand.
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.
Durlng 2024/25, the Sunrise team collaborated wlth the origlnators of existing recovery toolklts and
children's training Pfogrammes to ensure the materials a￿ culturally relevant and approprfately translated
Into cornmunlty languages. 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. In addEtion, the project Is beln8 piloted wSth
famllles in a refuge settln8 In Sheffield, broadening its evldence base and testlng Fts wlder applicabllity.
The ultimate aSm is to produ￿ training programmes that can be rolled out natlonally In 2025126. offering a
culturally informed, accessible, and effective resource for famllles affected by domestlc abuse across the UK.
Evergreen Project..
Now in its fourth year, the Evergreen project provldes speciallsed dornestic abuse support for older servlce
users aged over 55 with our oldest cllent aged 99. The splke in domestic abuse referrals seen in the
pandemic has continued to grow with referrals now 171% higher than in year one. Many of the people
supported are vulnerable indlviduals often with long term health issues who experience multlple fomis of
deprivation and exclusion.
The abuse is often from a long-term partner or an adult famlly member and has been happening for a while
but was exacerbated during lockdown. Many of those we support are subjected to economic abu5e* physical
abuse, and coercive control.
The projett has two maln objectives-
Supporting those over 55 who need dedlcated help.
Deliver awareness training and reporting pathways to local agencles and statutory service5.

The project is open to everyone 5n the age category and has a male to female split of 19% men and 81%
women. The average age is 67. Eve￿reen supports more men than in any other age group and supports
couples where their adult son5 and daughters are the perpetrators.
Evergreen continues wlthout dedlcated funding and the need for a specific servlce is consistentty evldenced
through the growing number of referrals, the majority from Adult Safeguardin8 and Community nurses.
Pets Project:
Paws for Klds pet fosterlng servlce reduces this distress and pre55ure on famllSes and the suffering of the
animals by provlding:
High-quality pet fostering servlces for all anlmals until thelr owners are re-housed.

and 233 pets (223 pets In 23/24) accesslng emergency accomrnodation and usinE the temporary f05tering
scherne. We also had an additlonal 12 pets surrendered to our Ca￿ where the owner could not contlnue to
look after the pet. The main reason for thls was the conditlons laid down by housing providers having a 'no
