REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

How our activities deliver public benefit

The refuge accommodation is available to any woman and her children fleeing domestic violence regardless of geographical location and ability to pay but priority is given to residents in North East Lincolnshire. We try to accommodate women with no recourse to public funds, but this is restricted according to our fundraising income available. This accommodation, together with the full-time daily support offered, improves the health and wellbeing of the residents, increases their safety and security and enables independent lifestyles and improves economic well-being.

We provided an excellent service during the year to the children in the refuge who have been exposed to domestic violence through the provision of Children’s workers. This service is available to all children who live in the refuge but unfortunately, we mainly rely on income from our own fundraising efforts to provide these posts. The benefit they provide to these children in terms of the aims of improving health and wellbeing, developing learning and positive achievement and enabling positive contribution are therefore reliant on continually seeking alternative forms of funding.

The Floating Support Services (Resettlement and Outreach) are only available to residents of North East Lincolnshire due to restrictions of our funders — North East Lincolnshire Council Housing Related Support . However, similar services are available in other regions of the country. Our Outreach service was established and expanded in recognition of[the][fact][that] not all those who have experienced domestic abuse wish to live in a refuge and therefore support is offered in the community. These projects meet the aims of improving health and well-being, increasing safety and security, developing learning and positive achievement, enabling positive contribution, enabling independent lifestyle and improving economic well-being.

Our Drop-In facilities and on-line support are available to anyone experiencing domestic abuse and this advice and guidance Is available to increase the safety and security of those using these services and thereby should improve their health and well-being.

Fundraising activities alone enable the facilities in the Women’s Centre to be provided. The Women’s Centre provides a welcoming and friendly environmeni for women to get advice and information, It is available to ALL women in North East Lincolnshire. It is recognised that women-only spaces provide a safe place for women to develop learning and positive achievement where they feel more safe and secure. Other agencies provide services and advice sessions within the Centre thus maximising inter-agency working. One particular project that has continued for some of this year has been women’s probation services. This includes interviews, support sessions and support groups for women who have offended or are at risk of offending.

We continually strive to raise awareness of domestic abuse in North East Lincolnshire. We aim to increase awareness in all sectors of socicty in the hope that we can improve the lives and safety of victims and children affected by domestic abuse. This is done by delivering training, networking and inter-agency working.

We are developing a portfolio ofaffordable, quality, social housing in North East Lincolnshire for survivors of domestic abuse who are marginalised in the housing market. Some of[these][properties][were][previously][long-term][cmpty][homes.]

All of these services can only be provided by maintaining a quality service with a firm financial foundation.

Strategies and activities that contributed to achieving these objectives

Refuge

The refuge building stilf continues to provide 15 units of very secure 24-hour emergency accommodation (although 16 to 17 women can be accommodated if flats are shared), This arrangement supports the requirements of refuge provision based on the number of people resident in North, East Lincolnshire.

We continue to have a high demand for the services that are offered through North East Lincolnshire Women’s Aid. A quality service is provided by the refuge staff including a Support Manager who supervises and supports both refuge support staff and resettlement and outreach workers. A helpline for male victims is available partly via funding from Safer Communities,

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Strategies and activities that contributed to achieving these objectives

Children

Women’s Aid receives no core funding for Children’s Services and as such is mainly dependent on fund raising and donations to sustain this element of its service. These funds along with the income from our shops has enabled us to maintain two full time equivalent posts for the Hideout (the children’s area). We continue to be grateful to our fundraisers for their support in raising funds to pay for the services we offer the children in the refuge. Women’s Aid received a grant from MHCLG for one year for a Children’s Complex Case Worker.

Floating Support (Resettlement and Outreach)

Women’s Aid provides a Resettlement and Outreach service to support women in their own homes. The Outreach Workers offer support to women and men who are either unable to, or do not wish to come into the refuge. Drop-In sessions including sessions at GP surgeries have been established over the last few years when grant funding has been made available to meet the cost. Grants have been received from the Crime Reduction Fund for this. During 2020/21 much of this service was disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly during lock-down periods when staff could not meet clients face-to face. However, staff were able to adapt their usual methods of communicating by using on-line video calls and more phone calls, which have worked extremely well under the circumstances.

Fundraising

Fundraising is always a priority for us, as the organisation is heavily reliant on it to subsidise the delivery of our services. Our retail arm has become very important to the organisation in relation to income generation, and critical in sustaining our core services, Over the last few years, we have established our main retail outlet at Hainton Avenue, which has proved very successful for us. This shop unit houses second-hand furniture, books, children’s clothes and toys and a large range of adult clothing, all under one roof. We now rent all the units on the site adjoined to each other and use these for either shop floorspace including a small Bric-a-brac shop or storage space. Along with the established income we receive from our Tiverton shop and our growing Ebay sales these outlets provide the organisation with a regular and very much needed income stream, Our immingham shop closed in April 2020 through a break clause in the lease as the Trustees decided the rent was too high and the venture had become financially unviable. During the Covid period an opportunity to take on the leasc of a well-maintained empty shop unit on the Nunsthorpe estate became available so a decision was made to open a new shop in March 2021 which to date, is performing very well. We are currently looking at a new shop rental opportunity on the Willows.

Due to the global pandemic all the Women’s Aid shops and Ebay sales were closed from the end of March 2020 and remained closed for the lockdown periods for over seven months during the year. We followed directives from government and were forced to furlough our paid staff. This was obviously very concerning for both the organisation and staff, causing a great deal of uncertainty for the future. The organisation is so reliant on shop income to support its service delivery and has a responsibility to employ several paid staff working in the shops. Government grants were received which were extremely helpful in providing some lost income but unfortunately a decision was taken to make the Retai] Development Manager post redundant, which happened in August.

Early financial figures show we are starting to make a good recovery as there has been high demand for the goods in the shops since the country ‘opened up’ to retailing once again. Credit card machines have been obtained for the Hainton clothes shop, Bric-a-brac shop and Nunsthorpe shop.

Women’s Centre

The Centre is funded by fundraising income and a small amount of income from room hire, and would not be in existence otherwise. The facility is staffed by a volunteer reception team and used to deliver training and events and to provide drop-in services as well as generating a small income from renting out office space. Some Women’s Aid core staff are based in the centre and some behind-the-scenes retail work is also carried oul in the centre. Activities and courses are delivered in the centre including the Freedom programme and a Self Esteem course mostly paid for through fundraising. Once again, the Covid-19 pandemic affected the use of the building during 2020 when Frecdom, training and all drop-ins (including domestic abuse, solicitors and Citizens Advice) began to be delivered on line.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2021

Raise Awareness of Domestic Abuse 2020 has been a very difficult operational year for Women’s Aid as it has been for everyone across the country and the rest of the world. Despite the unusual circumstances of the pandemic situation we continue to: build good relationships with stakeholder agencles; be involved with the Domestic Abuse One System Approach; update domestic abuse literature and on line information; and contribute to North East Lincolnshire’s Domestic Abuse Strategy. These all hetp in raising awareness of domestic abuse in North East Lincolnshire. We deliver SCP Domestic Abuse training for agencies and this was adapted to six, two and a half hour on-line sessions. Humberside Police ‘Domestic Abuse Matters’ training was still delivered in a safe environment. A financial contribution was made to Women’s Aid for these, We have our own website that allows people to join a mailing list to receive information on domestic abuse. We also developed a Practitioner Resource page on our website in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Council,

The Freedom Programme has resumed delivery post pandemic ‘lockdowns’ and is a life enhancing opportunity for women both inside and outside of our services which enables them to make positive choices for their future, It is a twelve-week rolling programme; clients can self-refer or be referred by anyone else. We also deliver awareness sessions for agency staff which are always extremely popular. Charges for Freedom awareness days go towards Freedom programme for clients’ - costs. Volunteers Women’s Aid is very dependent on its volunteers, with all its retail outlets staffed by volunteers except for a few paid staff. 2020/21 was a hugely disrupted operational year for the shops with the closures resulting in a loss of income for the organisation and some volunteers deciding not to return to working in the shops. The pandemic had a huge impact on the mental health of some of our volunteer team. Some volunteers needed additional support from staff due to feeling lonely and isolated.

All the shops would now benefit from the recruitment of more volunteers as the reduced numbers have resulted in us not being able to open all the shops all the time.

The number of volunteers and the hours they provided has been less than usual this year due to the charity shops been closed for over seven months, Also Refuge and Women’s Centre volunteers have not been working due to Covid restrictions. It is estimated that in 2020/2021 Tiverton Street shop volunteers provided a service valued at 1,368 hours representing £11,929 in wages, if it had been paid work. The Hainton Avenue Clothes Shop, Furniture Shop and Bric a Brac Shop provided 6,384 volunteer hours in total valued at £55,668 in wages. Commitlee members worked for 135 hours - valued at £1,173 Our total volunteer hours were 7,887 which equates to £68,770 of unpaid work. The volunteers are the backbone of[the][organisation][and][we][ continue][to][be][very][grateful][to][all][who][work][for][us][ on][this][basis.]

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

2020 — 2021 has been an unprecedented year, with much disruption resulting from the pandemic for the organisation to cope with, Managers and staff have coped incredibly well with all ihe changes imposed on them and adjustments they have had to make to ensure our core services continued to be delivered.

Fundraising Activities

The Covid pandemic disrupted a great deal of the fundralsing activity Women’s Aid and its supporters would normally carry out during the year, However, we received an overwhelming amount of support from both the local community and local businesses during the lockdown periods with many donations being offered to help the women and children in the refuge at this time. Our Club 300 (lottery programme) now has well over 300 members.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Fundraising Activities

Grants were also obtained to help clients through Covid, some of which included counselling services, mobile phones and alarms, plus hardship funds which offered Women’s Aid the flexibility to offer their clients a range of different financial support to address the many and varied types of everyday obstacles they faced. This included financial support towards energy bills, food and other essentials. One specific pot of funds was obtained to give IT tablets to women to enable them to undertake online courses and support sessions.

Our Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter also helped us communicate effectively during this difficult period.

Other grants were accessed to enable us to purchase phones, laptops and other equipment which meant staff could adjust to working at home and continue to deliver our vital services.

Internal and External Factors

Managing the effects of the Covid pandemic took precedent over everything associated with delivering our services and this continued for the majority ofthe[first][half][ of][ the][financial][year,][Arrangements][to][close][shops][and][furlough][staff][ was][a] challenging and time-consuming period for the Management and Trustees. Adjustments were made for support staff, managersthe and admin staffto rota their working from home and office to enable us to restrict the numbers in the refuge and Women’s Centre at any one time. The refuge remained open throughout, and floating support services continued with clients being contacted by phone or laptop video calls with some sessions carried out in a controlled environment. It is a huge achievement that all our core services continued to be delivered during this extremely challenging period, that there were no outbreaks of Covid in our Refuge accommodation and that clients were not affected adversely. This is testament to the dedication and loyalty of all our staff and volunteer workforce.

Despite the impact the pandemic had on how we operated our day-to-day services, the Management and Trustees decided lo continue to progress their plans to implement the Housing Development Project and arrangements were made to recruit a new Housing Development Manager. The post was filled in October 2020, The post holder was given responsibility for building a portfolio of safe, quality and affordable housing for clients ready to move into. A budget was allocated utilising reserves and arrangements commenced to obtain a loan to enable us to fund the ongoing project.

The project has had a successful start with the purchase of four properties, and one which was kindly donated, all of which needed refurbishing. All properties are currently rented out and there is high demand for more housing.

One ycar’s funding was obtained from MHCI.G for a Recovery Worker who started in September 2020. The post holder is providing Intensive support to women at threat of eviction or abandonment and female and male victims in the community who need additional support due to complex needs (drugs, alcohol and/or mental health). ‘The funding also included additional support to children living in the refuge.

Some changes were made to how Women’s Aid operate - ‘Other grants and mise income’ are now included in a new Chart of Accounts called Core Services. Core Services now include the staffing costs of managers and admin workers, admin costs, telephone, IT and database costs. The Operational Manager is now part of the Core Services and items previously charged to other projects via the refuge are now recharged via Core Services.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves taking into account the main risks to the organisation. They have established a policy which highlights a number of reasons for holding reserves including the need to:

~ Provide continuity of activities in the event ofa large, unexpected variation in income - Manage major unexpected repairs or maintenance

The policy is reviewed bi-annually or in the event of significant financial changes,

The unrestricted reserves are regarded as the capital funds (£2,584,043) less the tangible fixed assets (£2,384,079) which amounts to £199,964, The amount available has reduced during the year due to property purchases, The trustees consider it prudent to retain liquid reserves of £250,000 and we are currently working towards this target.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal Funding Sources

The principal sources of funding for the charity are Housing Related Support grant (local government grant) and housing benefit (rent), These funds allow us to fulfil our main objectives of providing support and accommodation and raising awareness of domestic abuse. However, since 2014/15 we have had to fund some of these core services from our shop income and by fundraising. In 2020/21 we obtained funding for one year from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to provide an Intensive Domestic Abuse Support Worker.

Our Children’s services have been funded from shop income and fundraising. Since March 2016 we have also levied a Children’s Services charge for residents in the refuge based on the number of children they have living with them, In 2020/21 we obtained a grant from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to provide a Children’s Complex Case Support Worker for one year.

Shop income, fundraising income and income from delivering training have been used lo equip and run courses and training at the Women’s Centre and online. Shop income and fundraising income plus income from rented properties and reserves have been used to fund the new post of Housing Development manager and to obtain and refurbish five new properties during the year. Business Support grants and funding from the Coronavirus Job Retention scheme have been obtained which have offset funding previously provided by the shops which have been closed for a large part of 2020/21 due to the coronavirus.

Grants used during the year include: a grant from Safer and Stronger Communities to provide a helpline for male victims of domestic abuse; funding from the Crime Reduction Fund to meet the remaining capitalised costs of equipment needed for providing domestic abuse drop-in surgeries; and a grant from the Nat West Safe Lives fund to help survivors of domestic abuse move forward and to promote recovery and resilience. We have obtained funding to purchase assets to enable us to move to remote and digital working - some from the C19 Emergency Fund from the Humberside Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and some from an anonymous donation, Grants have been obtained to provide food, fuel and other essentials for those experiencing hardship, from the Covid Winter grant, the Winter Fuel grant and the NELC Hardship Fund. A Lincolnshire Covid 19 grant and income from the Covid-19 Community response fund have enabled us to provide counselling, mobile phones, personal alarms, tablets and camera doorbells for victims of domestic abuse.

We have also again had a number of generous contributions from individuals, organisations and local businesses during the year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Our current and future developments continue to be focused on securing funds and sustainable income streams to plug the gaps in our contracted funding and to make the organisation more secure for the future. The continuation of all our services can only be secured by developing new revenue streams.

As our retail units are so important to us, we will continue to explore opportunities for new shops, the Willows retail unil being one of these opportunities,

Our new Housing Development Project seeks to attract a regular income for the charity from investment in local properties and the rent return this will bring. The loan we sought for this purpose will help us to expand this programme over the next couple of years.

A new post for a Referral Support Worker has also been funded from the Humberside Office of Police and Crime Commissioner’s C19 Emergency funds fora year. We will look at ways this post can be retained beyond the funding if this is possible.

We also plan to have a staffing restructure ofsupport workers in the refuge. floating support and training during 2021 to better prepare for the future.

We continue to see a growing demand for Domestic Abuse training from many Agencies and other organisations in North East Lincolnshire. This is seen as a positive opportunity for Women’s Aid, as our depth of knowledge and experience on this subject is held in high regard.

Housing Related Support funding has been extended to 31% March 2022. In addition, we obtained funding from a Safer Accommodation Duty Grant to cover shortfalls to 31% March 2022 in providing Refuge accommodation and Floating Support services,
