REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022

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 Outreach Services 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 leaming 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 environment 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 society 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 of affordable, 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 empty 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 still 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 outreach workers,

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022

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 employ two part time staff 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.

Outreach

Women’s Aid provides an 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, which are now funded through our own revenue streams.

Fundraising

Fundraising is always a priority for us, as the organisation is heavily reliant on additional funding to subsidise the delivery of our services. Our retail income remains critical to the ongoing delivery of our refuge services, offering us valuable, regular income generation. All the shops and Ebay re-opened in April 2021 following the end of Covid restrictions. Retaining and recruiting volunteers has remained a challenge since Covid, with all the shops facing difficulties in managing its volunteer staff levels, however despite this they have all performed well since re-opening. In March 2021 we added new rental premises at Nunsthorpe to our portfolio of shops and we expect new premises on the Willows housing estate to be finalised before the end of 2022. Ebay sales are also doing well, with the staff now located in the Hainton shop and a new member of staff recruited in May 2022. Quarterly claims are now being made for Gift Aid which helps add to shop profits.

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. Activities and courses are delivered in the centre including the Freedom programme anda Self Esteem course mostly paid for through fundraising.

Raise Awareness of Domestic Abuse

Despite unusual circumstances during the pandemic, we continue to: build good relationships with stakeholder agencies; be involved with the Domestic Abuse Strategic Group; update domestic abuse literature and online information; and contribute to our local Strategy. These all help in raising awareness of domestic abuse in North East Lincolnshire, We deliver six domestic abuse training sessions to our local safeguarding team, and local agencies/practitioners who are looking to raise awareness within their organisations. We also help to deliver Humberside Police ‘Domestic Abuse Matters’ training when requested. Our workshops are all accredited by CPD with 2.5 points of learning. 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 grown and we are now delivering 3 sessions per week. This 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.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Strategies and activities that contributed to achieving these objectives

;

Volunteers

Women’s Aid is very dependent on its volunteers, with all its retail outlets staffed by volunteers except for a few paid staff. The organisation has lost a lot of its volunteers since the Covid-19 pandemic, with many choosing not to return to work in the shops, this has caused ongoing staffing difficulties for shop managers who have been working tirelessly to keep the shops open and sufficiently manned. There are plans to develop a marketing strategy for the organisation which will include plans for a volunteer recruitment campaign. Our volunteer teams remain a valuable asset to the organisation, and we continue to be grateful to all who work for us.

The number of volunteers and the hours they provide has started to increase again this year after the charity shops were closed for over seven months in 2020/2021. Also Refuge and Women’s Centre volunteers have started to work again after Covid restrictions were reduced. It is estimated that in 2021/2022 Tiverton Street shop volunteers provided a service valued at 5,100 hours representing £45,441 in wages, if it had been paid work. The Hainton Avenue Clothes Shop, Furniture Shop and Bric a Brac Shop provided 15,300 volunteer hours in total valued at £136,323 in wages and the Nunsthorpe shop provided 3,528 volunteer hours valued at £31,434 in wages. Committee members worked for 106 hours valued at £945, In addition, there were 63 hours provided by Ebay volunteers valued at £561 and also 412 hours provided by Refuge and Women’s Centre volunteers valued at £3,671 Our total volunteer hours were 24,509 which equates to £218,375 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

2021 - 22 continued to be challenging following all the disruption Covid brought to the organisation, it’s staff and volunteers. However, everyone has continued to adapt to new ways of working and worked hard to ensure our core services continue to be delivered,

.

Charitable Activities

The main areas of charitable activity are the provision of:

Fundraising Activities

The Covid pandemic disrupted a great deal of fundraising activity for the Women’s Aid, however activity is starting to pick up and the local community and local businesses have continued to be generous with their support.

Internal and External Factors

The Covid pandemic impacted hugely on the way the organisation delivered it services, however these services continued throughout albeit using new methods of delivery. The refuge remained open and outreach services continued to operate. Clients continue to be contacted by phone and facetime/video calls are still being used, with some face-to-face sessions carried out in a controlled environment. Support staff, managers and admin staff continue to work from home some of the time to help reduce the numbers of staff working in the refuge and Women's Centre at any one time. Services are now operating as they did pre-pandemic although some new work practices have continued like more home-working and online video calls.

NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE WOMEN'S AID REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Internal and External Factors

Our new Housing Development Project is progressing very well with a £500,000 loan secured we now have a target to purchase 14 properties by the end of 2022. All our refurbished properties are currently rented out and there is high demand for more housing. We have been able to access Empty Homes grants from the Council to support some of the refurbishment costs of our properties.

One year’s funding was obtained from MHCLG for a Recovery Worker who started in September 2020. The post holder provided 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.

A new Referral Support Worker post was funded for a year through the Humberside Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s C19 Emergency Fund. The post holder is the point of contact in the Women’s Aid for taking police referrals, which has been found to be very effective.

Housing Related Support funding was extended to 31st March 2023. In addition, we obtained funding from a Safer Accommodation Duty Grant to cover shortfalls in providing refuge accommodation and Outreach services up to 31st March 2022. This grant should also be available in 2022/23,

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves

The policy is reviewed annually or in the event of significant financial changes.

The unrestricted reserves are regarded as the capital funds (£2,724,905) less the tangible fixed assets (£2,623,012). Long term liabilities (£288,362) have not been included as they are secured against the assets themselves, but an allowance has been made for loan repayments due within one year. This leaves an amount of£390,255 of unrestricted reserves available. £60,000 will be used from the loan drawn down to refurbish a new property purchased in March 2022, Large items to be purchased in the year include a new van and a replacement lift (£43,000). In addition, there is uncertainty about funding for housing related support after 2022/23 as a tender bid will need to be successful, so six months of these costs including safer accommodation duty funding, for refuge and annexe plus outreach services and some redundancy costs, have been included in reserves to provide continuity (£115,000). Three months of shop takings have been included in reserves as this income is needed to cover the rent and rates of the shops plus provide continuity of activities in other projects including core services, children’s services and the Women’s Centre (£86,400). This leaves reserves of £85,855 which may be used to fund property repairs and maintenance or property acquisitions.

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. We did obtain Safer Accommodation Duty funding from the Department of Levelling Up, Communities and Local Support from July 2021. 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, A new post of a Referral Support Worker to take police referrals to optimise engagement for domestic abuse, was funded for one year tn 2021/22 by a grant from Humberside Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s C19 Emergency fund.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

.

Principal Funding Sources

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 to 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 post of Housing Development manager and to maintain the rented properties. A loan was also obtained from the Charity Bank to fund the purchase and refurbishment of an additional four new properties. In addition, an Empty Homes grant was received from North East Lincolnshire Council to cover part of the refurbishment costs of two houses purchased in 2020/2021, Coronavirus Business Restart grants and funding from the Coronavirus Job Retention scheme were obtained in April 2021 and they have offset funding previously provided by the shops which were closed for a large part of 2020/21 due to the coronavirus.

Grants used during the year include; funding from the Crime Reduction Fund to meet the remaining capitalised costs of equipment needed for providing domestic abuse drop-in surgeries; a grant from the Nat West Safe Lives fund to help survivors of domestic abuse move forward and to promote recovery and resilience; funding to meet the remaining capitalised costs of assets to enable us to move to remote and digital working - from the C19 Emergency Fund from the Humberside Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner; grants 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; and income from a Lincolnshire Covid 19 grant has enabled us to provide counselling, mobile phones, personal alarms and camera doorbells for victims of domestic abuse. Additional grants were obtained during the year to continue to provide food, fuel and other essentials for those in need from NELC Hardship funds and the NELC Housing Support grant. A Nationwide Community grant has been received to purchase security equipment, tablets, phones and video doorbells for victims of domestic abuse. Also, an Awards for All grant has been acquired to provide family activities,

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 further funds and sustainable income streams to secure the organisation’s future, Our key strategic drivers for 2022/23 are as follows: -

Maintain and develop our retail income

Continue to invest in our retail properties as these are the main source of supplementary income to Women’s Aid other than government funding.

Further develop our property portfolio

Maximising the loan funding we secured and our reserves for the purpose of buying properties to rent out to service users when they are ready to set up their own homes.

Secure support services for future years

We currently have a temporary contract with the Council to supply support services up to March 2023. Preparations need to be made to tender for future services as well as securing the continuation of our Leading Lights accreditation.

Measures to address the impact of the increased minimum wage rate and inflation

Due to the impact of the numerous increases in the minimum wage rate and with another expected in April 2023, Women’s Aid need to adopt measures to address this.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE WOMEN’S AID

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of North East Lincolnshire Women’s Aid (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continve as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,

Page 10

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE WOMEN’S AID

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

;

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

.

Basis of preparing the accounts

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1st January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. The trustees have concluded that no subsequent restatement of items has been required in making the transition to FRS 102. The transition date was | April 2015. ,

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included on the statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources, Expenditure includes VAT as the charity is not able to recover VAT, except in the case of the charity shops which have been registered for VAT since 1* September 2014.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the relevant resources. Costs relating to a particular activity, shown in the statement of financial activities are allocated directly whereas other costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its useful economic life: Equipment ~ at varying rates on cost Fixtures and fittings - at varying rates on cost Motor vehicle ~ at varying rates on cost

It is the charity’s policy to maintain its freehold and leasehold properties to a high standard. The expected useful economic life of these assets is expected to be over 50 years and the carrying value of the properties is considered to reflect their residual values. Therefore, these assets are not depreciated but the annual costs of maintaining the properties are charged to the SOFA in the year they arise.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
