GILGAL BJRMINGHAM
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR EIYDED 31ST MARCH 2024
Introduetlon
The past year has been one of significant transfornialion and resilience for our organization. Under the leadership of our
new CEO, Sanja Kalik, and with the support of our dedicated team and parlners we have navigated through challenging
economic conditions. including the Birniingham City Council's bankruptcy. This report hI￿lIghtS our financial position,
the impact of reduced fvnding on our services for domestic violence victims, the cost-of-living crisis. the critical role of
donations and corporate support, and the improvements we have made to our facilities.
Finantial Overvlew And Blrmlngham Clty Counell's Bankruptcy
The financial landscape for our organization has been particularly challenging due to the Birniingham City Council's
bankruptcy. This has led to a significant reduction in funding for essential services, directly impacting our ability to
SUPPOrt domestic violence victims. Despite these setbacks we have continued to provide crucial services thanks lo the
unwavering support from our community and new corporate partnerships.
The reduction in fjjftding has forced u5 to prioriiize our resour¢es more stringently. For instance, our capactty to otTer
irnmediale shelter and comprehensive support services has been constrained. However, the commitment and resilien¢¢ of
our team have ensured that we continue to provide a lifeline to those in need, albeit under tighter financial conditions.
Impael on Servlces for Domestie Violence Vietlms
The decreased funding has had a tangible impact on the s¢tvi¢es we provide lo victims of domestic violence. The
demand for our services has alivays exceeded our capacity, but this year the gap has widened. We have had to make
difficult decisions about resource allocation, prioritizing emergency cases while trying to provide ongoing support to a]1
who ne¢d it.
One of the most significant impacts has been on our ability to offer immedi￿¢ accommodation. The lack of funding has
mcant that we cannot always provide shelier to everyone who needs IL resulting in longer wait times and increased risk
ror those fleeing domestic violence. Despite these challenges, our staffs dedication and the support from external
par¢ners have helped us to roanage and Contin￿ delivering crilical services.
Th¢ cost￿r-Llwjllg Crisis
The ongoing cost of living crisis has exacerbated the difficulties faced by our clients, many of whom rely on benefits to
survive. The rising costs of housin& utilities, and food have made fftt increasingly ¢hallenging for these individuals to
achieve financial stability and independence. This crisis has underscored the impOrt￿Ce of our work and the need for
increased support.
For example. Jane (name changed for privacy). a mother of ttvo, sought our help after escaping an abusive relationship.
With the cost-of-living soaring, she stNggled to find affordable housing and relied heavily on our services to provide
temporary shelter and 5UPPOrt. Her story is just one of many illustrate the harsh realities faced by our Clients in
today's economic climate.
Importance of DonatlOll5 and Corporate Support
In response to these Challenges, the role of donations and corporate support has beGome more critical than ever. This
year, we have successfully developed new parlnerships with the cory)orate sector, which have been instrumental in
sustaining our operations. These partnerships have provided financial support. in-kind donations, and volunteer effort
all of wht¢h have been vital in bridging the fiJndiDg gap left by th¢ council's bankruptcy.
Corporate donations have enabled us to continue provÈding essential services and to make necessary improvements to
our facilities. For instance, the financial support from our corporate partners has allowed us lo upgrade I l out of our 14
rooms, creating a safer 8lld more comfortable environment for our clients.
Importance of Food Banks
Food banks have played a crucial role in supporting our clients. many of whom are Stru£glinE to make ends meet due to
the ¢ost-of-livin8 ¢risis. Our Collabo￿tIon with local fo￿ banks has ensured that our clients have acce5S to nutritious
food, which is essential for their well-being and recovery.
The reliance on food banks highlights the broader issue of food insecurity omong vulnerable populations. By partnering
with these organizations, we have been able lo provide not only f(KKi but also a sense of community and support for our
lients. This partnership has been vital in helping our clients navigth their financial challenges and work t()wards
stability.

Fa¢ility Improvements And Upgrad
Despi* the financial constraint% we have made significant progress in improving our facilities over the past year. We
have upgraded I l of our 14 rooms and enhanced our communal and ¢hildren's spaces. These improvements have been
made possible through targe￿d fundraising efforts and the generous support of our donors and corporate partners.
The upgraded facilities provide a safer and more comfortable environment for our clients, matty of whom have
experienced si8nificant trauma. The improved living conditions are essential for their h¢aling and recoveryj offering
them a sense of stability and security that is crucial during iheir time of need.
Real-Llfe Examples and Impaet
The stories of our clients pmvide a p0￿rfUl testament to ihe impact of our work Sarah (name changed for privacy) and
her children, for instance, found rethge in our upgrnd¢d facilities after fleeing an abusive household. The etthan¢ed
communal spaces and supportive environment played a crucial role in their recovery, allowing them to rebuild their lives
with dignity and hope.
Another example is Maria (name ¢han8ed for privacy), who benefited from our financial independence programs.
Through our infrmal and external workshops. she gained the confidence and skills needed to secure employment and
a¢hieve financial stabiliry. Her joumey from a victim of abuse to an empowered, indwndenL individual exemplifies ihe
transforniative impact of our services.
Conelusion
In conclusion, this year has been marked by significant ¢hallenges and notable achievern¢nts. The Bimingham City
Council's banknjpicy and the cost-of-living ¢risis have placed immense pressure on our organization and the individuals
we serve. However, through the unwavering support of our donors, corporate partner4 and the community, we have
continued to provide essenlial services to domestic violence victimg.
The importance of donations and cotp)rnte support cannot be overstated, as they have been instrnmental in sustainiDg
our operations and en￿￿1¢ing our capa¢ity to serve those in nee(L Our partnerships with food banks have also played a
crucial role in addressing food insecurity among our clients.
Looking ahe&d, w¢ remain committed to our mission of supporting women and children escaping domeslic abuse. We
will conlinue to advocate for increased funding and resources to ensure that we can meet the growing demand for our
services. Together, with the support of our community, we can create a safer and more supportive envirojllnent for all
those affected by domestic violence.
