## **Foreword** 

Fundraising has continued to be one of the most important activities of the trustees during 2024. The highlight of the year was the 40[th] anniversary party held at the South Canonry courtesy of Bishop Stephen Lake and Carol Lake. In 1982 the charitable purposes of Salisbury Women’s Refuge were extended and the refuge, as it currently operates, was born. We held an evening party for about 100 guests and supporters with Deputy Lieutenant Lady Lansdowne as guest of honour. Other distinguished guests included the Mayor of Salisbury, Sven Hocking and his wife, and the Chief Constable of Police, Catherine Roper. Piano music was provided by Sam Lake and harp music by Katie Salomon. 

The cost of running the refuge has continued to exceed the income the trustees can raise from grants, donations and housing benefit so we have continued build our links with other similar organisations in the region with a view to establishing more formal connections to achieve greater efficiencies of scale as well as bringing a wider range of expertise to the delivery of the service the refuge provides in Salisbury. We believe that this will provide long term stability for the refuge. 

We said goodbye to several trustees over the course of 2024. Sadly in a number of cases this was due to ill health, though I am pleased to report that all those former trustees are now much better. We say thank you to Val Jackson, Rosemary Pemberton, Colin Reed and Liz King for their many different contributions to the running of the refuge. We have also welcomed two new trustees, Ann Cox and Alison Bradley who bring other strengths and experience to the refuge. 

Katie Hillary, left during the summer due to a family house move. That role has been filled by Nicola Praulins who joined the refuge staff after a long career in school administration and extensive experience of safe guarding and family liaison. Munavera Ghauri, The office administrator also left due to a family house move and her role has been taken on by Alex Lazar, our housekeeper. Katie and Munavera both made quite an impact on the running of the refuge in their own personal ways. 

As always, we are very grateful to our supporters, many of whom are long standing. In particular the Mothers’ Union and the Salisbury Soroptimists have donated to the refuge and helped raise our profile. Birthdays and Christmas in the refuge would not be the same without the generosity of the Mothers’ Union members throughout the diocese. Numerous local organisations and businesses have fundraised for us. We thank everyone who has helped us stay open during 2024.

## **Our Finances** 

During 2024 we received unrestricted grants from the Brook Trust, the National Benevolent Charity, Wiltshire Community Foundation, St Mary’s Fund and Albert Hunt Trust and we are most grateful to all these bodies for their support which has enabled the refuge to continue to operate. 

Also, during the year, we received a substantial grant from Nationwide through their Colleague Grant Scheme, which enabled us to upgrade the CCTV system. We also received a number of grants from Women’s Aid to assist individual women when moving out of the refuge into independent accommodation. We also received generous support from many individuals and local churches, and a number of concerts took place, mainly over Christmas, in support of the refuge. 

A local office of Mazars accountants chose the refuge as their charity for last year. Their substantial donation enabled us to replace the roof of the large conservatory with a new insulated roof early this year. This has improved temperature control in the conservatory, making it warmer in winter and cooler in summer, with a knock on effect on the energy bills. 

funds to support the refuge, but our other main source of income, housing benefit, held up reasonably well in 2024. The refuge had an average occupancy rate over 2024 of just under 88%. During the course of the year the refuge accommodated 29 women and 19 children. Despite this, overall the refuge ended 2024 with a deficit of £40,574 which has been met from reserves.

Our expenditure in 2024 was just under £250,000 with the largest expenditure heading being our staff costs, accounting for 62% of that total. We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of staff and we benefit from low staff turnover. Bec Burrow joined us early in the year to take on the role of finance assistant in place of Eileen Day, and quickly got to grips with the demands of the role. A few months into that role she also took on the task of assisting with grant applications. 

We were not as successful in 2024 as we had hoped to be in raising

## **Our service** 

## alike. 

During 2024 19 women and families moved out of the refuge. 8 of these moved when they obtained their own home, 4 to another refuge, 4 returned home and 3 left to stay with family. 

13 of the 19 leavers completed a feedback questionnaire with an overall satisfaction rating of 8.2 out of 10, and an overall score for staff interactions of 8.9 out of 10, and accommodation scored 8.6 out of 10. 

From the feedback questionnaires we received some very positive comments “All staff go above and beyond” “changed my life, each day you all made me feel safe, proved to me that I do matter and I feel you have changed my life for the better” “Good support, we looked at college courses for English” “It’s been transformative” 

We were able to offer 12 residents counselling sessions from 2 counsellors in the past year. The sessions are offered by trainee counsellors averaging 3 sessions per week for as long as the resident feels they need it. We also hold a waiting list for those who want counselling and we can also signpost to counsellors in the community. This service is very much appreciated, and residents report back that the counselling is beneficial. 

6 families were also able to access the play therapist, Laura Brunton, who offers a variety of support for families, either one to one or in groups. She helps families deal with trauma experienced and put it behind them. This has helped the children to settle into school and be ready to learn. 

In addition to the counsellors, we have been lucky to have regular visits from Hug, a therapy dog, who pops in to see everyone a couple of times a month and whose visits are looked forward to by adults and children 

**Hug the therapy dog at work** 

A volunteer has lead sessions of yoga and other volunteers have offered sessions of poetry writing and reading, and a jewellery making workshop. The refuge also took part in 2 of the local Christmas Tree Festivals at St Thomas’ Church in Salisbury and St Laurence’s Church Downton.

In 2023 the cost of keeping a resident at the refuge was £57.36. In 2024 it was £64.82. These figures do not include the children in the refuge.

## **Our buildings** 

2024 was another challenging year with regards to fabric and maintenance upkeep of the house. However, it is good to report that because of all the hard work by Alex our Housekeeper and especially Paul our maintenance “wizz” the house and garden are generally in a good condition. We are reaping the benefits of good communication and a plan of action for regular maintenance, repair and redecoration.  Regular meetings with the Manager, Alex and Paul, have helped to monitor and keep abreast of issues arising. 

At the beginning of 2024 Paul set out his plan of action - jobs that needed to be done, or he wanted to complete in the coming year, such as replacing the steps from the conservatory into the garden, trimming the apple tree, reseeding or repairing the grass in the garden, painting the Annexe, repainting the internal doors of the landings and stairwells in the main house as well as in the extension and the main entrance. Any job not completed was rolled over into his action plan for 2025. Paul’s daily work also involved addressing problems that arose such as leakages from pipes, a defective flat roof and missing tiles, also heating and boiler problems which in the end needed external contractors. 

A new carpet was laid in the main entrance hall. All resident’s rooms have now had room locks with codes installed. These come into use particularly at night meaning that the support staff do not have to come out to the house to let the residents into their room when they have locked themselves out. 

Annual Health and Safety assessments have been undertaken such as the Fire Maintenance assessment with necessary remedial work addressed.  PAT, the Asbestos check and testing for Legionella have all been completed for 2024. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health and the Health and Safety policies were reviewed. 

On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank the staff for their help and co-operation but especially Alex and Paul whose input and hard work has proved invaluable. 

## **Catriona Wood Trustee with responsibility for buildings** 

One of Alex’s many tasks is to monitor the cleaning of the communal areas by the residents as well as organising the “deep cleans”, in areas such as the kitchens and conservatory. These are undertaken approximately four times a year.  She along with Paul also completes the weekly Health and Safety checks. 

Refurbishment of the residents’ rooms has been undertaken in 2024 as residents leave, with thorough cleaning and replacement of any damaged furniture and flooring, as well as any necessary redecorating.

strong Each day you made me feel ssfe, proved lo me that I do matter and I feel you have changed my life

Reserves pollcy and Reserve Fund balances
The trustees are of the opinion that ideally the General Fund should be maintained with a balance to cover at
least six months, running costs. The trustees have designated funds to provide for major repairs and
improvements to the building and to cover the risks inherent in operating a business of this type, including
running the charily for six months in the event of funding not being available. The trustees do not inlend to
accumulate resorves greater than such needs may require,
At 31 December 2024 the General Fund (Note 15) reserves amounted to £117,044 (2023 £159,914} of
which £1 00,00012023 - £100,000) has been designated as a contingency fund and £25,000 (2023 - £30,000)
as a reserve for major repairs and improvements to the building. The remaining undesignated reseNes were
£7,956 in deficit (2023 - £29,914 surplus including a fair value reserve of £1,853>. The balance on Restricted
Funds {Note 16) 8t 31 December 2024 was £14,472 (2023 - £12,176).
Investment pollcy
The Refuge will hold its reserves in a variety of w2ys- current aocounts, depDSIt accounts end investments.
nvestments should amount to £ maximum of 20 % of the total reserves.
Any investment should be in well-established managed charity fund with an ethic81 investment policy.

SALISBURY WOMEN'S REFUGE
TRUSTEES, REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Golng concern
The trustees are required to assess the going con￿r￿ of the charity, looking at least 12 months ahead from the
date th& accounts are approved. Since the end of its contracted services grant in March 2023 the trustees have
been unable to attract alternative funding to the extent needed lo cover increasing costs, Although a small
surplus on unrestricted funds was reported for 2023, the 2024 results show a signlficant deficit, If this level of
deficit Gontinues there will be insufficient f unds to meet future obligations, At the same time the charity has lost a
number of trustees and the recruitmenl of new trustees has proved difficult.
To address these ch?Ilenges the chair has approached a number of other, larger charitable organisations with
similar activitles in geog raphically adjacent areas to see if there might be scope for a merger. There are currently
conversations ongoing with another organisatlDn and It is hoped that these will lead to the merger of the charity
with another entity, thereby securing the future of a women's refuge in Salisbury.
As at the date of the approval of these accounts there is still uncertainty over the achievement of a merger 8ncl
ongoing funding for the Gharity, however the trustees remain hopeful that the charity Is 8 going concem but
recognise that there are material uncertaintles in reaching this conclusion,
Risk Management
The tru8tees examine the major risks that the charity faces each financial year when preparing the budget and
reviewing the annual accounts. The charity has developed systerns to monitor and Gontrol these risks and to
mitigat8 any impact that they may have on the Refuge's ability to continue its work. As discussed above, the
charity malntslns a level of working capilal Sufficient to deal with any short term diffiGulties.
Trustees. responslbllltles

independent examiners, as stated in thelr reporl.

strong Each day you made me feel ssfe, proved lo me that I do matter and I feel you have changed my life
for the better. I thank you for everything you have done for me
Reserves pollcy and Reserve Fund balances
The trustees are of the opinion that ideally the General Fund should be maintained with a balance to cover at
least six months, running costs. The trustees have designated funds to provide for major repairs and
improvements to the building and to cover the risks inherent in operating a business of this type, including
running the charily for six months in the event of funding not being available. The trustees do not inlend to
accumulate resorves greater than such needs may require,
At 31 December 2024 the General Fund (Note 15) reserves amounted to £117,044 (2023 £159,914} of
which £1 00,00012023 - £100,000) has been designated as a contingency fund and £25,000 (2023 - £30,000)
as a reserve for major repairs and improvements to the building. The remaining undesignated reseNes were
£7,956 in deficit (2023 - £29,914 surplus including a fair value reserve of £1,853>. The balance on Restricted
Funds {Note 16) 8t 31 December 2024 was £14,472 (2023 - £12,176).
Investment pollcy
The Refuge will hold its reserves in a variety of w2ys- current aocounts, depDSIt accounts end investments.
nvestments should amount to £ maximum of 20 % of the total reserves.
Any investment should be in well-established managed charity fund with an ethic81 investment policy.

SALISBURY WOMEN'S REFUGE
TRUSTEES, REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Golng concern
The trustees are required to assess the going con￿r￿ of the charity, looking at least 12 months ahead from the
date th& accounts are approved. Since the end of its contracted services grant in March 2023 the trustees have
been unable to attract alternative funding to the extent needed lo cover increasing costs, Although a small
surplus on unrestricted funds was reported for 2023, the 2024 results show a signlficant deficit, If this level of
deficit Gontinues there will be insufficient f unds to meet future obligations, At the same time the charity has lost a
number of trustees and the recruitmenl of new trustees has proved difficult.
To address these ch?Ilenges the chair has approached a number of other, larger charitable organisations with
similar activitles in geog raphically adjacent areas to see if there might be scope for a merger. There are currently
conversations ongoing with another organisatlDn and It is hoped that these will lead to the merger of the charity
with another entity, thereby securing the future of a women's refuge in Salisbury.
As at the date of the approval of these accounts there is still uncertainty over the achievement of a merger 8ncl
ongoing funding for the Gharity, however the trustees remain hopeful that the charity Is 8 going concem but
recognise that there are material uncertaintles in reaching this conclusion,
Risk Management
The tru8tees examine the major risks that the charity faces each financial year when preparing the budget and
reviewing the annual accounts. The charity has developed systerns to monitor and Gontrol these risks and to
mitigat8 any impact that they may have on the Refuge's ability to continue its work. As discussed above, the
charity malntslns a level of working capilal Sufficient to deal with any short term diffiGulties.

independent examiners, as stated in thelr reporl.
