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. Page I CILGAL BIRMINGHAM CHAIRMAN'S REP RT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024 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. 18¢ Bourne The Vicc Chai ofthe oard of Trustres Page 2 CJLGAL BIRMtNGHAM REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR TIIE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024 Thc TrLLStccs, who are also Directors of the Chariry for the purposcs of the Companies Act 2006, PTC5cni their Teport ith the financial statcmcnts of the Charity for the ycar cndcd 31 March 2024.
