71- IA MDVS Annual Report 2024/25 Our Year in Review
A Year of Challenge and Resilience
2024/25 has been a defining and deeply challenging year for MDVS. We have continued to support women, children, and families experiencing high levels of domestic abuse and stalking in the face of unprecedented demand and deepening inequality. The cost-of-living crisis has pushed more survivors into impossible choices, often trapped between poverty and violence. The housing crisis has compounded this, with too many survivors facing poor conditions, temporary unsafe accommodation, and the threat of homelessness.
Amidst these struggles, we've held fast to our values. We remain survivor-led, community-rooted, and committed to disrupting abuse through systemic change. We've continued to stand in the gaps left by overstretched statutory services and have innovated, adapted, and resisted the pressure to do more with less, choosing instead to do what matters most; work that is meaningful, safe, and leads to lasting change.
This year, our work was recognised at the highest level with the King's Award for Voluntary Service.
National Recognition: King's Award for Voluntary Service
In November 2024, MDVS was awarded the King's Award for Voluntary Service. This award honors the determination and resilience of our volunteers, staff, and survivors. It recognises our work delivering trauma-responsive, intersectional support and holding space for recovery, accountability, and change.
"This award belongs to every woman who walked through our doors with overwhelming dread and uncertainty and walked out believing in her own strength." 3 Jacqui Nasuh
Our founder and former CEO, Jacqui Nasuh, and long-standing Leader of Change, llham, were invited to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, marking twenty years of grassroots, survivor-led leadership in Merseyside.

Through our stalking referral pathway
Involve stalking as a risk indicator Experience stalking each year nationally
In this financial year, we established the first stalking referral pathway in Liverpool in partnership with Merseyside police and subsequently supported 127 survivors of stalking under this pathway alone. Through this, survivors are connected with a trained Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworker, ISAC, who are also trained in Stalking Risk Profile, SRP. They have provided tactical advice to police, advocacy, safety planning and emotional support for survivors, and play a critical role in guiding applications for Stalking Protection Orders, SPOs, which are vital tools in restricting perpetrator behaviour and increasing survivor safety. The ISAC role is central to ensuring stalking is identified early, risks are accurately assessed, and that survivors receive specialist, consistent support from a trusted point of contact throughout their journey.
Stalking is one of the most terrifying and persistent forms of harm that survivors experience, and yet, too often, it goes misunderstood or ignored. We have committed the last five years building this approach because stalking is too often misunderstood, misclassified, or ignored. Nationally, stalking is one of the highest risk indicators for serious harm and homicide, present in 94% of domestic abuse-related deaths, according to Suzy Lamlugh Trust, The Office for National Statistics estimates that 1.5 million women experience stalking each year. Of those, 78% report suffering anxiety, PTSD, or depression as a result, with many having to uproot their lives, changing jobs, fleeing their homes, or altering their daily routines to stay safe. Nationally, over 50% of stalking victims say they are not believed by police, 85% report having to report multiple times to police before any action is taken, if at all. Many are diverted down civil routes instead of receiving the criminal justice response they need and deserve. Our work is building a local response to these local and national failures.
Our plans for the next financial year are to focus on building the next phase of this work. This includes strengthening referral pathways so that we can expand survivor access to trauma-informed support at the earliest opportunity.
Funding Overview
While demand continues to soar, the funding landscape remains fragile. Many charities across the UK are under extreme strain, delivering more, with fewer resources, in increasingly complex environments. At MDVS, we have fought to sustain vital work and protect safe caseloads for our team. We received over £160,000 in direct grant and donation income this year, alongside in-kind support and fundraising. Key contributors:

Even in the face of challenge, we continued to innovate:
System Change in Practice
CALL: Creating A Life Line
We launched the first friends and family model in Liverpool, CALL, Creating A Life Line. CALL was introduced to equip the informal support networks that surround survivors. CALL is built on the understanding that friends, family, neighbours, and colleagues often see and hear abuse before professionals do, yet are rarely supported to act safely. The model offers education, guidance, advocacy, and trauma-informed tools that help loved ones navigate this deeply distressing situation and, in some cases, intervene safely without increasing risk to the survivor. It also gathers vital local intelligence that can be used to inform disruption and safeguarding strategies. CALL is not just about support; it is about support. It is about creating a lifeline between isolated survivors and the wider community that can help hold perpetrators accountable.
Stalking Response
Established Liverpool's first dedicated stalking pathway with Merseyside police, embedding routine referral processes and reaching survivors who may otherwise slip through the net. The local infrastructure we have developed is vital; it allows us to build real-time intelligence about perpetrator behaviour, hidden victims, identify patterns and escalation earlier, and spot opportunities for targeted disruption that may be missed in a national system.
Survivors are supported by practitioners who understand their local environment, whether that is their housing situation, policing landscape, proximity to the perpetrator, or MARAC. For many years, stalking victims/survivors have been referred to national services, sometimes without any coordinated local stalking response. While national services play an important and complementary role in the wider stalking landscape, our expertise shows that when survivors are referred out of area, vital information about risk and history can be lost, delaying opportunities to disrupt the perpetrator's behaviour locally.
MASC Evaluation
Published a 3-year evaluation of our MASC programme by Liverpool John Moores University, which found evidence of significant reductions in risk and improvements in survivor safety. The evaluation showed that our outcomes aligned with national benchmarks set by Respect-accredited services. The evaluation also highlighted increased survivor wellbeing and reduced need for statutory intervention in cases where perpetrators engaged meaningfully.
Financial Sustainability
Worked closely with Lloyds Bank Foundation to develop a sustainable service design. This included scenario planning, budgeting for safe and ethical frontline delivery, and modelling what a trauma-responsive caseload should look like for our team. Together, we examined the financial and operational risks of overstretching staff and built a shared understanding of what 'safe minimum' caseloads need to be, factoring in complexity, time required for multi-agency work, and the emotional labour involved. This process has shaped our strategic planning and underpins how we advocate for funding that reflects the true cost of delivering quality, survivor-centred work.
Looking Ahead
The scale of need is sobering. But we remain hopeful, because we know change is possible. We see it every day in the survivors who speak out, the families who heal, and the systems that shift under collective pressure.
In 2025/26, we are committed to growing the reach and depth of our survivor-led work. A central priority will be the continued development and integration of our ANCHOR and CALL (Creating A Life Line) initiatives.
ANCHOR
Our Focus
Offers an alternative to the reactive 'fleeing' response, supporting women and children to remain safely in their homes or communities wherever possible by increasing safety, multi-agency coordination, and disrupting perpetrator behavior.
Our focus will remain on strengthening safety, disrupting harm, and building sustainable models of support that center lived experience, prioritise quality, and challenge the status quo.
Survivors deserve more than short-term safety. They deserve dignity, autonomy, and a community that doesn't just respond to crisis but invests in their future.
Thank You To every survivor who trusted us
To every survivor who trusted us, every volunteer who gave their time, every funder who believed in our vision, thank you.

Merseyside Domestic Violence Service Ltd Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
1 Limited Liability
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. Each member's liability is limited to £5.
2 Accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)(SORP 2015) (effective 1st January 2015), Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
The accounts have been prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest
£The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are the charity's free reserves available for the trustees to apply in accordance with the charitable company's charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor. All restricted funds are accounted for as restricted income and expenditure for the purpose is charged to that fund.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies comprise of donations and general grants which are recognised in the accounts when received, with the exception of known legacies which are accounted for when their receipt is certain.
Income from charitable activities is recognised on an accruals basis except for grants receivable, which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is confirmed by the donor.
Income from investment relates to bank interest received and is recognised when the amount is certain.
10
Merseyside Domestic Violence Service Ltd Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charitable company to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities. Support and governance costs are applied to the unrestricted funds unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor.
Expenditure on charitable activities relate to the operation of the charity comprising of direct charitable expenditure to meet the objectives of the charitable company. Support and governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements in producing the annual report. These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been approved by the charitable company.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Plant and machinery 25% p.a. on a reducing balance basis Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment fully depreciated Computers fully depreciated
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Financial Instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amount presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financial transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
11
Merseyside Domestic Violence Service Ltd Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable with in one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised costs, using the effective rate of interest rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Taxation
Income and gains are exempt from taxation as they are received and applied for charitable purposes only. The charitable company benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to Corporation Tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The cost-of-liwng crlsls has pushed mor8 survivors into impossible choices. often trapped between poverty an¢J vlolence. The housing crlsis has compounded this, wtth too many SfvorS faclng poor conditions. temporary unsafe accommodatlon, and the threat of homelessness. Amldst these struggles. we've held fast to ourvalues. We remaln SUTVtvor-led. communlty-rooted. and commnted lo rfisrupting abuse through systemic change. Wè've continued to 51and in the gaps left by overstretched statutory seN¢es and have innovaied. adapted. and resisted the pressure to do more with less, choosing inead to do what matters mosl Wofk that is meaningful, safe. and lea¢ts to lastsng Change. This year. our work was recognlsed atthe highest level with the lfjng's Award for Voluntary SeThice.
