Foreword

During 2022 The Refuge continued to provide support and safe accommodation to several women and their children as the restrictions of the pandemic were lifted. The staff have continued to provide excellent high quality support for the residents, drawing on numerous local resources and contacts to help them obtain the particular support they need to regain confidence and independence, including counselling, paid or volontary work, access to clothes and other household goods, and play working for children. It is because our staff are well established at the Refuge and know the Salisbury area well, that they are able to draw on an immense range of facilities to meet the particular needs of each individual or family at the time it is needed.

The trustees were able to start thinking again about their strategy and how to resume implementation of their goals after the restrictions placed on everyone by the pandemic. The accommodation in the Refuge is the main area of concern as space is very tight, especially for families. We currently have no self contained accommodation nor anything suitable for disabled users. Our main building is quite old and expensive to maintain due to its age, and increasingly does not meet the needs of the staff or the residents in the accommodation or the office and communal areas.

Residents, especially the larger families, often stay for longer periods than in the past, mainly due to the difficulty in obtaining housing to move on to. The average length of stay at the Refuge has increased from a few months to several months, and in the case of larger families the stay is likely to be between one and two years. The accommodation available in the Refuge therefore needs to be more suitable for these longer stays.

Storage in the Annexe, now under refurbishment

This year has seen growing public awareness of mental health issues and domestic abuse, and a growing unwillingness to tolerate or ignore it. The staff at the Refuge are at the sharp end of these issues, dealing on a daily basis with people who have been most severely affected, and who arrive, often with little from their previous lives, needing a safe place to stay. Addressing the needs of of each individual is core to the service our staff provide. Each resident has a personal plan for rebuilding their confidence and coping with their experiences, which is mutually agreed and which will be put into effect over the weeks following their arrival. Some will want counselling, which is provided by external trained counsellors, one of whom is presenting her work at the Refuge to

2023 AGM.

In the Autumn last year Ros Hepplewhite stood down as chair of trustees after several years of dedicated service to the Refuge. Under her leadership a great deal of modernisation of the management processes was introduced. We thank Ros for her sterling work. She remains a friend of the Refuge.

Liz King was appointed a trustee in place of Ros, and brings a wealth of experience in the charitable sector and HR.

Lastly we thank all our donors, both individuals and organisations, who have supported us through donations over the last year. We have a very wide range of loyal supporters and friends without whom we would not continue to provide the Refuge service and we are very grateful for their generosity and continued support.

Our Finances

As a Trustee body we are currently more concerned about the future than the past. The contract for the provision of services to Wiltshire Council, which has provided us with core funding for the past 5 years, ended on 31 March 2023, and the provider chosen by the Council for the next contract decided not to include us as part of their team. So we are looking at ways in which we can continue to provide our services by finding other sources of funding. Thanks to our prudent reserves policy, we are confident that we can operate for at least 12 months, and we are in discussion with other organisations to see if we can work together in some way to our mutual advantage and we are increasing our fundraising from grant making charities.

But this is a report about 2022, so I need to comment on the figures in the accounts. In 2022 our expenditure exceeded our income by £9,224. This is about twice the deficit that I had anticipated in my budget for the year, and is primarily the result of the larger than anticipated pay increase awarded to our staff. (Our staff salaries are based on nationally agreed rates for public sector employees with similar roles and responsibilities to those of our staff). Bearing in mind the rise in costs due to the remarkable and unexpectedly high rate of inflation in the latter part of the year, this was a satisfactory performance. Over the 5 years of the contract which has now ended, we managed to make a small surplus of £1,063, partly because of sensible cost control measures, and partly because of a more active fund-raising effort in the recent past.

As Honorary Treasurer I do not actually do much work – I report to the Board on what others are doing. My thanks go to Eileen Day, who does all our book-keeping and deals with Housing Benefit claims, to Sandra Horner our manager, who identifies

Our service

We have had a busy year which has seen 23 women and families move on from the refuge support, mainly into independent living. 15 moved into their own home, 3 went to stay with a relative, 3 moved to a different safe house, (either because their whereabouts had been compromised or in order to be closer to their support network) 1 returned home and 1 to temporary accommodation.

13 of these chose to complete our feedback questionnaire as they left and we are really pleased with the overall scoring we received with an overall satisfaction score of 98% (up from 77.5% in 2021)). Our residents are particularly satisfied with the accommodation provided scoring 100% (up from 85%) and the interactions they have with staff which also scored 100% (up from 70%).

The refuge scored higher in the other 3 areas of Overall experience 97% (up from 80%), Support 99% (up from 90%) and Courses/signposting offered 95% (up from 62.5%). This is a wonderful reflection of the hard work the staff put in and the care they take of our residents.

These are some of the testimonies of residents this year: “I have never experienced such kindness. I have had amazing support, care and encouragement. Any issues were dealt with straight away and professionally. Staff are excellent. The house is lovely and we have everything we need”

“Changed my life but was challenging. I love you all. I wouldn’t be who I am without you and the help you gave me”.

We have supported women through court processes where child arrangements or criminal charges against a perpetrator are involved, walked to appointments with medical professionals, solicitors, work coaches. Sat and listened to heart-breaking experiences, mopped eyes, held hands, and shared in the little wins like opening bank accounts and getting the children into schools.

We have supported a woman to obtain her leave to remain, been a birth partner to another and assisted women into volunteering and paid work. We were also able to access grant funding to provide carpeting in several cases and also white goods for others.

Our buildings

Due to Covid and the lack of a housekeeper at the start of the year, much of 2022 was spent catching up on planned projects, annual Health and Safety assessments and cleaning programmes. We were able to appoint a new housekeeper and she joined the staff in June. Alex settled into the post extremely well and approached her role with gusto. She identified some areas where cleaning standards needed to be revisited with the residents; tidied cupboards, fridges, freezers and undertook a linen inventory which identified additional linen that needed to be purchased.

The main project of 2022 was to completely refurbish the resident’s sitting room in the main house, to make it lighter, by painting all the wooden panels, and to make it a more homely and welcoming space. Paul, our invaluable maintenance man who can turn his hand to most things, undertook repairs, and new furnishings and furniture were purchased to complete the new look. We were able to take this project forward with the support of funding from the Trustees of the College of Matrons.

Another project identified for 2022 was to address the damp and storage in the Annexe. Unfortunately, Paul had difficulty finding a contractor to undertake this project so it had to be delayed until 2023. We were lucky enough to receive funding from the Broadchalke Benefice to help finance this project which is now underway.

We also received a grant from Screwfix which enabled us to renew the chain fence at the side of the back garden.

areas within the Refuge. These are carried out by residents, trustees and volunteers. With Alex in post, we were able to organise two in the latter part of 2022. The kitchens, reception area, conservatory and learning and development room had in depth cleaning.

Paul continued with his rolling programme of repainting throughout the year. The stairwell leading to and the hallway in the extension were repainted. At the same time he addressed any repainting necessary in residents’ rooms when they became vacant. A new carpet was laid in the stairwell and in the hallway in the extension to match that in the main house. It is not unusual to have to replace carpets in rooms of residents with children.

In 2022 the house had several water leaks. Unfortunately, these caused residual damage in ceilings, walls and flooring which Paul then had to address. The boiler in the extension had to be replaced. We received a generous individual donation for this work.

Paul also undertook the maintenance of the garden throughout the year. Initially an ex-resident helped but she is no longer available. As well as the general upkeep, he has pruned the apple tree. The beech tree has had its annual assessment.

I would like to thank all the staff for helping with the upkeep of the Refuge but particular thanks and appreciation to Paul and Alex for all their hard work.
