Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

NIDAS supports women and families with all aspects of domestic abuse. We believe being free from abuse is only the start of the journey. We support women to stay safe, grow their self-esteem and go on to build happy, healthy relationships. Our team work in a kind, caring and non-judgemental way, providing personalised support for as long as it is needed.

Our vision is for women and families to lead fulfilling lives, free from domestic abuse. Our mission is to provide practical and emotional support to help women move on from abuse and rebuild their confidence, choice and control.

Objectives, strategies and activities

NIDAS offer practical and emotional support to help women and families understand how domestic abuse may have affected them, their relationships and family dynamics.

Support with NIDAS can include: Safety planning Risk management Domestic abuse awareness Advocacy Family intervention Group programmes Art Therapy

Public benefit

Raising awareness of domestic abuse and increasing the knowledge within the community of the different types of domestic abuse can help victims feel safe and supported to leave a relationship, but can also help you to identify signs for the future.

Individual/families referred to NIDAS will have a safety plan tailored to their needs, which can help identify risk and support to achieve a multi agency approach to manage risk.

Early intervention work with children and young people can help to develop the skills they need to lead happy, healthy successful lives. It can improve the quality of children's home lives and family relationships, increase educational attainment and support good mental health.

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a way of communicating and expressing thoughts, feelings and emotions. It can help people work through life experiences that they may find difficult to put into words.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Case study

Referral and presenting issues

Louise (pseudonym) aged 13, was referred to the NIDAS therapy service by her mother after concerns were raised regarding Louise’s mental health and her starting to self-harm.

Louise struggled with the loss of her Dad, due to him leaving the family home, and the changes that were occurring in her life due to this. Louise struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and seemed to be struggling to process what she had been through and to be able to settle in her ‘new’ life. Louise had a history of self-harm due to struggling with her anxiety and coping with her life experiences. Louise presented with difficulties with suicidal ideation, self-harm, depression, anxiety and loss.

Work completed Agreed therapy aims:

Sessions focused on Louise having the space to reflect on her past experiences and having a neutral person to talk to. Louise seemed to struggle talking about her past experiences as she felt that they would burden other people. Having a therapy space focused on her feelings gave Louise time to talk about her thoughts and feelings, and process what she had been through. Louise was able to use the therapy space to explore her anxiety, express her sadness, understand her relationships, and process her losses. Louise explored her past experiences and the emotions she had suppressed in relation to them. Louise used creativity to understand her ‘messy’ feelings, and muddle through the web of years of feelings she had internalised, giving them the time and space they needed to support her in understanding and processing them. Through this self-exploration, Louise was able to process her life experience and emotions, to build herself up to work towards a more positive future.

Louise used her sessions to explore her relationship with her parents, how these have changed, and that they mean to her. Louise was able to reflect on the complexity of her family life, and talk about how her family has changed, and how this has impacted on her life. Due to internalising her experiences and feelings, Louise was stuck in the past and struggling to see past what her family was, and what she feels her family should be now. Her own thoughts were competing with her real family situation, which was causing Louise distress and confusion. Through openly talking about and creatively expressing her family’s history, Louise was able to see the full picture of her life, and reflect on her past, present, and future. This helped Louise to externalise her life, and to see it for what it was, rather than living in her internalised feelings, which was causing her distress. This encouraged Louise in building her confidence in coping with difficult situations and showed her her own resilience and strength. This allowed Louise to move from living in the past, to seeing her present life and feelings.

Louise was supported throughout sessions by her Mum, who attended the initial, review and final sessions. This allowed Louise to reflect on her relationship with her Mum and work with her Mum around continuing support at home and implementing the positive changes into her everyday life.

Outcomes

Through self-exploration, expression, and creativity, Louise was able to process her life experiences and her mental health struggles impacted by this. Louise was able to give her emotions the space they needed to be expressed, and help her understand them. By doing so, Louise develop healthy ways of dealing with difficult feelings and situations, and was able to understand her ability to process difficult situations, and her strength in coping with them.

Outcome measures completed by client in the first and final sessions: On a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the highest) rate your struggles: Anxiety: (Start of support) 8 / (End of support) 5 Self-Harm: (Start of support) 8 / (End of support) 4 Loss/Grief: (Start of support) 10 / (End of support) 1

Through assessment of Louise’s strengths and difficulties (Outcome measures) positive change was evident in the following areas:

Quotes from the client

Mum: ‘[Louise] was reluctant to talk to me about certain upsetting things and having a neutral person to listen to her has been invaluable. [Louise] has been in a better frame of mind at home and has talked about certain things to me. She is doing better at school and has worked really hard in trying to attend her classes’

Louise: ‘In sessions I was able to make my own choices which made me feel confident. I felt listened to and understood which made me feel very welcomed. The art therapist understood me really well and took care. It helped me with my grief and my Dad leaving and it made me feel 10 times better about myself.’

Financial review

Due to the complexity of the different funders that we have there are 9 different budgets for each funder that all have a different year end. Each budget is in line to spend the funding within the specified time scales, and where they are not, extensions have been requested.

Policy on reserves

Our reserves policy is to have 3 months running costs in our reserve which we currently have. Due to each of our funding budgets ending at different times this does effect the size of the reserves required. Currently our reserves are based on the charities closing costs. Reserve funds come from donations to the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS) ('the Company')

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS) ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Page 11

Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS)

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Computer equipment 33.3% straight line
Furniture & equipment 25.0% straight line

Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.

Page 12

Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS)

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
