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
Sarah self referred into NIDAS in November 2021 as she had experienced domestic abuse from her ex partner. Sarah was living in another city with her abusive partner. She fled from her abusive relationship and moved back in with her family. Sarah* was in the relationship with her ex partner for 18 months and is currently 7 months pregnant.
Whilst Sarah was in a relationship with her ex-partner she experienced emotional abuse, physical abuse and coercive control. Sarah was still in contact with her ex partner after she left the relationship and he was still controlling her and expecting her to reply to texts within a certain amount of time. Social services were also involved and advised Sarah* that her ex-partner couldn’t have contact with the baby.
Sarah also experienced domestic abuse in a previous relationship and had a difficult childhood, she stated she stayed in a hostel and had been in abusive relationships and she didn’t have a good relationship with her mum. Sarah stated her ex partner would drink excessively and when he had been drinking the abuse would get worse. Sarah also has two children from a previous relationship. Sarah stated her ex partner was abusive to her eldest daughter and he has slapped her and also put a sock in her mouth on one occasion. Sarah stated this incident is what made her decide to leave the relationship so she asked her family for help. She stated her aunty helped her book a train ticket and she left the house whilst her ex partner was at work, however he found out she was leaving as he had a tracker on her phone which she didn’t know about. Sarah managed to leave and she had the tracker removed off her phone.
Sarah also struggles with her mental health and has suffered from post-natal depression in the past. Sarah disclosed that she also has thoughts of self-harming and has self-harmed in the past. Sarah* is currently receiving help for her mental health from Millbrook.
Work completed
Sarah was allocated to the Domestic Abuse Outreach Worker at NIDAS and is completing one to one support sessions around domestic abuse. A safety plan and DASH were completed with Sarah in her first session. The DASH was monitored throughout her support to supervise the level of risk.
After completing the recovery outcomes form with Sarah*, a sessions plan was created to ensure she received the correct support. The sessions consisted of; types of domestic abuse and why people stay in abusive relationships, healthy and unhealthy relationships, power and control wheel, how DV impacts children’s and her relationship as a mother and work around confidence and self-esteem.
Sarah also required support around housing as she was living with family and sharing a bedroom with her two young daughters. Our Domestic Abuse Outreach worker supported Sarah by providing her with a housing supporting letter which assisted her to a house move. Sarah also required support in obtaining some furniture for her property which our Domestic Abuse Outreach Worker helped her to get via the Household Support Scheme, the items included a fridge, freezer, two beds and two mattresses. This Scheme was also able to provide some food vouchers which Sarah was able to use to buy school uniforms for her children.

Trustees' Report
Outcomes
Sarah was struggling with her mental health and was having thoughts of harming herself and her unborn baby. A referral was completed into the perinatal mental health midwife to ensure Sarah was receiving the right support to help her. Sarah’s eldest daughter was also struggling with her emotions due to what she had experienced from Sarah’s ex partner which led to a referral being completed into the Children and Young Persons worker at NIDAS.
Our Domestic Abuse Outreach Worker also attended a child in need meeting to advocate on behalf of Sarah. A report was also provided prior to the meeting to inform the social worker of the work that would be completed with Sarah.
As a result of the support from our Domestic Abuse Outreach worker Sarah was able to move into suitable accommodation where her and her children had their own bedrooms and she also has a spare bedroom for when she has the baby. Sarah was also supported in getting some furniture which she required for the property as her children were having to sleep on the floor as they didn’t have beds. Our Outreach Worker was also able to ensure Sarah* got the support she needed for her mental health by making the necessary referrals.
The awareness raising sessions were helpful for Sarah* as she was able to understand and recognize that her ex partner was abusive and was continuing to be abusive via text messages after she had left him.
Feedback
''I just want to say thank you so much for all the support I’ve had, having my own place has helped me with my mental health as I’ve got my own space and I’m so grateful for the beds because it means my kids don’t have to sleep on the floor".
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 timescales, 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.

Trustees' Report
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small companies provision statement
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 16 December 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

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 2024.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 2024
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
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the 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 2024
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.

Nottinghamshire Independent Domestic Abuse Services (NIDAS)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
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.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
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.
