About us
Kiran Support Services believes that all women and children have the right to live free from violence and to
leave a home or relationship where the risk of violence exists.
The charity was established in 1990 in the London Borough of Waltham Forest to meet the needs of women
and children from the Indian sub-continent and has since expanded its serVI￿S to support the wider Asian
community. It is the only charity of its kind in the borough, and in 2017 Kiran expanded further by opening a
second refuge in the London Borough of Brent. In 2020 we acquired a third building from Notting Hill Genesis
to meet the demand for safe accommodation during the Covid-19 pandemic. The refuge started taking
referrals in early 2021.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Chairfs Introduction
As Chair of the Board of Trustees, l am honoured to present the Kiran Support Services Trustees, Report for 202>
2024. This year has been one of significant challenges but also remarkable resilience. growth, and progress. Despite
the ever-increasing pressure from the Cost-of-Living crisis and the complexities of immigration policies, Kiran has
remained steadfast in its mission to provide life-changing support lo South Asian women and children fleeing
domestic violen￿.
Our dedicated staff, volunteers, and partners have worked tirelessly to ensure that the women and children who
come to us in their most vulnerable moments find not only safety but also the tools and confidence to rebuild their
lives. We are immensely proud of the achievements highlighted in Ihis report, from expanding our refuge services
and delivering trauma infomied counselling to providing vital immigration advice with an outstanding success rate.
This year, our refuge services have provided support for 39 women and 19 children, our advice and advocacy team
has worked closely with 132 women. and our counselling service has provided over 1200 counselling sessions. This
continues to demonstrate how much we need specialist services for black and minoritised women. The amount of
work we are doing clearly shows the complexities of the cases that our staff have been dealing with.
l am happy to share some of our successes as well" In October 2023 Kiran won a Waltham Forest Faith and Belief
Award, and in November 2023 Kiran won the London-wide Supporting Women Faith and Belief Award. The awards

Pro Bono Economics inteNiewed Amtal for their research paper 'Women in the Charity Sector,. The paper was
published in November2023, it examines the complex dynamics that exist around, for example, the gender imbalance
in philanthropy. opportunities for leadership, and supporting vulnerable women.
In January 2024 Amtal was invited to participate in the Labour and Civil Society Summit organised by Pro Bono
Economics. Kiran was invited to put a question to the panel, which included Labour Leader Kier Starmer. The
question was about funding, particularly for black and minority women support organisations.

and resilience at the investment fimi Quilter Cheviot in October 2023.

has not had representation locally.

Domestic Violence) roundtable on 18 January 2024 and provided independent evidence to the GREVIO committee
about the trends on the ground regarding UK government's compliance with its commitments to the Istanbul

KIRAN SUPPORT SERVICES
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
We are also acutely aware of the ongoing challenges. The housing crisis continues to place immense strain on
survivors as they transition from refuge to independent living. we are committed to advocating for more affordable
and secure housing options. The introduction of an Operations Manager has already brought positive changes in
how we deliver our services, enhancing both operational efficiency and the quality of support provided.
We are deeply grateful to ourfunders, supporters, and staff fortheir unwavering commitmentto our mission. Together,
we will continue to build a future where every woman can live free from abuse and fear.
Looking to the future, we will continue to deliver our core services while we ensure that we are sustainable through
our fundraising strategy to allow us time to plan development of new services. We are excited about our plans to
expand our immigration and our outreach services, to take on a refuge services manager, develop a community hub.
and build stronger partnerships across the sector. We remain dedicated to our vision of a future where every woman.
regardless of her background or circumstances, can live free from fear and violence.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff team for their hard work and
commitment to providing the unique services that Kiran provides. Without the team, we would not be able to reach
out to the many women and children that rely on us for support and advocacy.
I would like to thank my fellow trustees for their support in my tenure as Chair as I step down this year and hand over
to Shahzadi.

women and children experiencing domestic abusive. Kiran is a specialist refuge for South Asian women and children.

provide a safe and non-judgmental environment regardless of families situation or background. Our serwices are
completely confidential.
We have three refuges across London and offering refuge accommodation to 16 families who have suffered domestic
abuse.
We have found the common barriers to leaving an abusive relationship are particularly difficult for minority ethnic
women. These can include religious and cultural pressures, language difficulties, ignorance of rights and services
available and predominantly the fear of possible removal and deportation.
Our mission is to empower women and children to live a life free from abuse and for families to have independent
lives. We aim to reduce economic inequality, improve mental wellbeing, and facilitate personal development. To
ensure this, we offer support and guidance, signposting, counselling, legal advice and social activities. workshops,
and courses. The support we provide aims to build confidence. self-esteem, awareness of domestic abuse, and
impact of domestic abuse on women and children in a safe and supportive environment.

featuring regional food, dance, and inspirational speakers,
Women's Health and Wellbeing Event
In October 2023, Kiran held a health and wellbeing event that included workshops on menopause, sexual health.
and breast cancer awareness, delivered in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support.
Challenges and Responses
Housing Crisis
One of the biggest challenges Kiran faced this year was the shortage of pernianent housing for women leaving
refuges. Many were placed in temporary accommodation. such as hotels, often far from their support networks, which
impacted their mental health and sense of security. Kiran provided phone support to help women manage household
bills and navigate their new environments. The organisation continues to advocate for more affordable housing
options for survivors.
Case Study: Harpreet
Harpreet (name changed) endured severe physical, financial. and emotional abuse and was living in 8 hotel
with her two children. Feeling overwhelmed, she considered retuming to her abuser. With Kiran's support.
Harpreet accessed the benefits she was entitled to and secured private accommodation. She leamed new life
skills and became more independent, later saying, "If I had rebjrned to my husband, my children could have
been taken away from me. Kiran helped me keep myself and my children safe and learn life skills to better our
future."
Immigration Service Success
Kiran's Immigration Advice Service continues to grow, offering critical support to women fleeing domestic abuse.
Through OISC Level 3 advice, Kiran assists with DDVC and ILR applications. helping survivors work toward
permanent residence and citizenship. By offering advi￿ in multiple languages and addressing the cultural nuances
of each case, Kiran has established itself as a vital resource for South Asian women facing immigration challenges.
Case Study: Kamra
Kamra (name changed) suffered escalating abuse during her pregnancy. After a referral from the Metropolitan
Police, Kiran helped Kamra apply for DDVC and secure a place in one of our refuges. She received counselling
in her native language and support with her ILR application, which was granted within six month5. Kamra is now
preparing to move into independent housing with her young son.
Client Feedback:
"l am so thank￿1 that I can speak to you in my own language. No one understood what I went through until I
came to Kiran.
