## **Foreword** 

During 2023 the refuge had one of its highest ever average levels of occupancy.  Unlike many others, Salisbury refuge accepts residents with children, and last year this included a few particularly large families. The statistics of occupancy rates are shown at the end of the manager’s report on page 4. These show the number of adult overnight stays in the refuge each month. The figures do not include any children staying with the residents. 

Notwithstanding the pressures on space, the refuge has remained a welcoming space providing stability and security to residents. The support provided to residents has continued to adapt to needs. The play therapist, who will be speaking at our AGM, has worked with both children and adults to repair family relationships and deal with past trauma through play. The key workers and counsellors work in conjnction with the play therapist to provide support to independent living in a holistic way. The benefits of this support are already being felt in many ways inside and outside the refuge. 

In March 2023 the grant funding which the refuge has received for a number of years from the local authority came to an end, which meant that the main focus for last year was fundraising rather than implementing any significant changes to the accommodation offered at the refuge. 

We applied to a number of grant making organisations with some notable successes. The outlook for the future is that grants will become an increasingly necessary part of the funding of the refuge, so we have appointed a member of staff to take on this work. 

During the year we  built links with similar organisations based 

elsewhere to share information and experience. It is likely that those links will become stronger and more fundamental to the refuge in future. 

We have a large number of loyal supporters and donors who have continued to provide us with donations in kind and money during the year for which we are very grateful. In particular the Mothers’ Union and the Salisbury Soroptimists have given us support and helped raise our profile through events such as the 16 days of activism to end gender-based violence. The refuge would not be the warm and safe place that it is without our supporters.

## **Our Finances** 

As we reported last year, the contract to provide safe accommodation for 12 women and families for Wiltshire County Council came to an end on 31 March 2023; this reduced our income by about £47,000 in 2023. (In a full year the reduction will be £63,000.) In view of this, the overall financial result of a £5,705 deficit reflects a considerable effort on two fronts – control of our expenditure, and fund-raising. 

Our total expenditure for the year actually decreased a little compared with 2022; this was in spite of a significant rise in staff salaries. The biggest contributor to this positive move was that we reduced our spending on improvements, repairs, and maintenance of the building, largely because we have managed to do most of the work we needed to do and much of what we hoped to do. The increase in staff costs was mitigated by the retirement of Eileen Day, who had been keeping the books and dealing with financial administration at the Refuge for more than 10 years; there was a gap between Eileen’s leaving and a new recruit starting work early in 2024. 

The Refuge has always been supported by generous donors, but during the long period when we had a regular income from a series of contracts with the Council, we did not have a strong focus on fundraising; 

it was not our aim to maximise our income, but to ensure that we were able to provide the services that are, sadly, necessary to support women and families who have suffered from domestic abuse. With the loss of Council funding this policy had to change, and in 2023 we began to devote time and effort to fundraising; through the hard work of a Trustee, Chris Dragonetti, we were able to raise £35,000 in grants. This is not a task that a Trustee should be 

carrying out, so in 2024 we will appoint someone with experience of fund-raising for charities. Bearing in mind that to “fill the gap” we need to find £63,000 (at 2022 prices) I consider that a professional fundraiser is an essential investment. 

The job of Treasurer is a bit like that of a ship’s chief engineer. You report to the captain and passengers on how the ship is getting on, you comment on proposals people put forward to change things, you smile sweetly, accept the plaudits that come your way, and remain calm at 

all times. Meanwhile the real work is going on, unseen, in the engine room. So I offer heartfelt thanks to the engine room staff, particularly to Eileen Day who, as I said above, has 

now left us, and to Chris Dragonetti, who took on fund-raising duties, manages Gift Aid claims, and also sat in for Eileen for several weeks and ensured that the financial engine did not stop when she left.

## **Our service** 

A question I am asked often is about how we are put in touch with the women and families who are looking for refuge. 

We are part of a network of refuges which upload refuge vacancies onto a national database. Professionals who work with victims of domestic abuse can access the database and find refuges which have vacancies and get in touch with us to complete a referral. We receive referrals from Police, Social Care, IDVA’s, other refuges and self-referrals from women who have been in touch with the National Helpline. 

Once we have a completed referral form, we look at the individual circumstances and make contact with professionals working with survivors to gather background information to enable us to make a decision on whether Salisbury Women’s Refuge is a good fit for the survivor. We are careful not to have women from the same area, we cannot take boys who are 13 or older or any women with a history of arson. We also take account of the safely of the women already residing at the refuge. If we feel the refuge is not a good fit, we will always offer details of other refuges with space advertised on the database and invite them to call us back if they need to. We also give survivors advice about how to stay safe and on contact police, local councils etc if appropriate. 

Occupancy rates for 2023 showing the number of nights adult residents spent at the refuge 

|January|304|81.7%|
|---|---|---|
|February|306|91.1%|
|March|349|93.8%|
|April|327|90.8%|
|May|336|90.3%|
|June|310|86.1%|



When we are able to accept a survivor, we can arrange safe travel to Salisbury via the new rail to refuge and road to refuge schemes. These are operated by National Rail and National Express to ensure that any woman who needs to flee to refuge can do so safely and at no cost to her. 

On arrival the refuge provides an assortment of toiletries and a food box which will tide them over for the 

first 48 hours; we support them to change their bank details, register with a GP, arrange schools for the children and apply for housing benefit and universal credit if necessary. We work with survivors on what other support they might need and assist with sourcing this for them if we cannot provide it ourselves. 

In 2023 the occupancy rate for rooms in the refuge were above 80% for the whole of the year. The average occupancy for 2023 was 89.13% in comparison with 2022 which was 77.45%. 

The referrals for 2023 were also higher than 2022 at 162 and 154 respectively. We took in 12 new referrals and families last year.

## **Our buildings** 

2023 was a year for appreciating the hard work undertaken by both Alex, our Housekeeper, and Paul, our maintenance man. Paul has dealt with water leakages and refurbishment of resident’s rooms when they become vacant as well as dealing with many daily tasks, such as replacing a shower, replacing a tap in the extension kitchen and a bath panel. 

Water damage caused by leakage problems in the first-floor bathroom in the main house damaged the ceiling in the reception area and the lounge, which also needed his attention. Although the bathroom has been repainted the best type of flooring to prevent further damage has to be ascertained.  Paul’s repainting rolling programme for 2023 included the corridor and stairwell to the extension. He also plans to upgrade or replace the vanity units in the resident’s rooms. 

Following work by a contractor, Paul and Alex worked hard to improve the state and storage in the Annexe. Damp proofing and remedial plasterwork was carried out, new shelving erected and a general tidying up of the contents was undertaken. 

Besides his usual summer work in the garden, Paul has also improved the appearance of the external areas of the property by painting fences at the rear of the garden and at the side of the driveway. 

An additional bonus, which has improved the garden and exterior of the house is that Kirsty, one of the Support Workers, has taken on additional hours to work in the garden with residents. This work is reflected at the front door where there are containers of flowering plants as well as displays portraying the season or time of year such as Halloween. 


## **A refurbished family room ready for new residents** 

Alex has been beavering away throughout the year working with the 

residents to maintain the general upkeep of the communal areas and standards have much improved. She establishes a good rapport with the residents. 

The usual Health and Safety assessments were addressed such as the weekly check, the annual Control of Substances Hazardous to Health review and the Annual Fire Maintenance Assessment. Following the report of the Fire Assessment remedial action was undertaken. 

I would like to thank all the staff for their support in maintaining the upkeep of the Refuge but particularly Alex and Paul for the continuing hard work.
