Participating in these activities enhances overall well-being, fosters growth, and contributes to fulfilment and happiness. Group support offers shared understanding, emotional support, empowerment, and a sense of belonging. It broadens perspectives, promotes personal growth, and enhances resilien￿. By creating a space for solace, peer learning, and shared experiences, group support helps individuals grow together on their journeys toward healing and self-improvement. Peer learning and feedback are benefits of all the groups. The groups allow women to learn from each other by sharing experiences, insights, successes, and challenges. Individuals gain valuable perspectives and alternative viewpoints. The collective wisdom and shared experiences of group members can be a powerful catalyst for personal transformation. The provision of advice and support whlch Includes peer support 1690 visits to our drop-in sessions were recorded during the period Access to information and sign-posting for many local women the Centre provides a trusted source of information Including support: Apart from the drop-ins, we operate a front of house service 9am - 5pm. We have received 11,391 recorded contacts. Over 71 % are from individuals requesting support, signposting. We have continued to offer women a comprehensive holistic seprfice which encompasses a personalised approach. The women we work with can access one or more of the activitieslservices at any one time or over a period and this ensures that we can respond not only to the women in high levels of need but also to those who require information or advice and social activities. Referrals Except for one project that accepts direct referrals, we ask women at registration who signposted or referred them. however, many do not disclose this information, so self- referral remains the single largesl source. Women are also directed to the Centre through multiple pathways, including secondary mental health services, GP practices, health visitors, alcohol and substance misuse services, HMP Styal, Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Probation Setvice, and other local agencies. Referral breakdown for 24125: 44.47 % Self-refeiral 26.86 % Health agencies Stockport Women's Centre 28.67010 Other agencies, including domestic abuse organisations Identified Needs 382 women attended a full needs assessment. 72 % identified as having a mental health need. 52 % identifies as having a well-being issue. 700/0 idenlified as having an issue with domestic abuse. 27 % identified as having issues with childrenlfamilies and 35 % identified as having an issue with financeldebt. 27 % identified having a need with their physical heallh Nos of needs re orted at assessment 3 or more needs re orted at assessment 4 or more needs re orted at assessment 5 or more needs re orted at assessment 24125 Equallty Monitoring During the year 639 women were included in our equality monitoring. We collect equality data at registration and, if not provided then, al assessment. This information helps us understand who uses our services and informs future planning lo ensure fair and accessible provision. In summary: Age., 45.330/0 aged 30-44; 18.62 % aged 18-29,. 26.600/0 aged 45-59. Economic status.. 28.64 % reported being unemployed; 44.910/0 are in receipt of benefits, Health and dlsablllty: 27.39 % identified a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability,. 52.570/0 reported a mental health condition at registration, which contrasts with the higher number identifying a mental health need at assessment. Ethnicity.. 16,27 % are from ethnic minorily groups. Many women do not disclose menlal health needs at registration but do so at assessment. This is likely influenced by stigma, fears of judgement or discrimination, concerns about parenting implications, and cultural taboos around talking about mental health. Both the needs assessment and equality moniloring show that we engage with some of the most vulnerable and marginalised women in the Stockport community. Outcornes All activities and services provided to the wornen are built upon through an assessment of need. The assessment is important for the service as it helps identify needs, tailor the service, guide evidence-based decision making, address gaps, support advocacy efforts. Assessments provide a foundation for effective and targeted interventions, leading to improved outcomes for women accessing the service. Stockport Women's Centre We continued to involve Ihe people in our community, using existing measures such as: Feedback from the peer groups that continue to meel 1..1 interview Centre wide questionnaires External evaluation Anonymous service user evaluation at end of activities Feedback from partners when women are not engaging. As well as the following tools: Outcomes Star Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scales (WEMWEBS> - we use WEMWEBS to evidence the impact of group work Improved Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Scoring FramewoTk specifically Anxiety and Depression We have recently embedded into our service the Women's Risk Needs Assessment (WRNA) for women in contact with the criminal Justi￿ system. The WRNA is the only validated, peer-reviewed risklneeds assessment instrument specifically designed from the ground up, by and for justice-involved women. One to one Casework provides support, after assessment and Iriage, the support offers goal orientated approaches, advocacy and access to resources, emotional support and informal counselling. Skills development and empowerment. There is the option of long- term support and continuity and confidentiality and trust. This individualised support can help women: address challenges achieve their goals, navigate complex systems and improve overall well-being and quality of life. Identify and manage risk As part of our commitment to trauma-informed, peTson-centred support, we use the Outcome Star tool to track progress across key areas of women's lives - including safety, mental health, relationships, and self-esteem. Between April 2024 and March 2025, 295 women who accessed casework support completed an Outcome Star. The results show clear evidence of positive change: 790/0 of women made progress in at least one outcome area 690/0 made progress in two or more areas 560/¢ made progress in three or more areas On average, each woman made progress in 3.1 outcome areas Stockport Women's Centre Counselling has the potential to bring about significant positive changes, supporting individuals in their journey towards emotional healing, personal growth, and improved well-being. We use the IAPT Scoring Framework specifically Anxiety and Depression to measure the improvements in mental health, looking at statislically reliable improvement. 177 women completed therapy, the recovery rate is 74 % women, this is higher than the recovery rate anticipated by NHS England. By improving the wellbeing, physical and mental health of women, women have increased self-confidence and self-esteem and whilst the following quantitative data are not performance indicators it is encouraging to see significant increases year on year of women returning to ernployment, volunteering and education improving life chances for themselves and their families and contributing to the social and economic development of their communities.

Safeguarding offers several benefits including prevention of abuse and neglecl, promotion of well-being and mental health, building trust and confidence, empowering individuals, strengthening accountability, and creating safer environments. Safeguarding audit report is provided to the Board of Trustees quarterly. The service reported 174 safeguarding concerns and incidents 24125. Overall, most safeguarding incidents were mental health related risks, followed by domestic abuse incidents, with a decrease in high-risk referrals to MARAC, Child protection incidents were identified and all of those were linked to domestic abuse. Safeguarding Goncerns were mostly related to domestic abuse risk and showed a low level of mental health risks. The majority of concerns are picked up at point of assessment, however most incidents have been dealt with in the casework team. Staff are adhering to safeguarding policies and procedures and identifying and managing risk well. Safeguarding plays a crucial role in ensuring the woman's rights, dignity and overall well-being are respected and protected as well as creating a safer environment for the individual and a safer community. Stockport Women's Centre Service Users Evaluation 163 women have completed an anonymous service user evaluation using SMART SURVEY 99 % of women completing the survey were satisfied with the Servi￿ they received. 93 % of the women completing the service user evaluation, were very satisfied with the service they had received. 6.10/0 were satisfied. 87 % of women said they had experienced positive change in their lives. Some of the cornments from women: It is something I couldn't afford privately, l am so grateful for this service, Welcome from beginning. Peaceful. Not alone, other women with issues, felt. Very safe. Service was amazing, I felt at ease. All of it. The best l ever had. Being able to share experiences wilh each other women helps you to understand that you are not alone and that it is not your fault. I have benefitted from all the information and support. Safe space, non-judgemental. Lots of different groups to attend Mon - Fri. Helpful supportive staff. Food bank items available including clothes, toiletries This service has been invaluable to me Provided some basic items when I found a new home women - supports women - all women. What they offer in terms of piogram. Its free I wouldn't be where l am without this service. Accessible compared to other services We also ask how we can improve the servi￿. Some of the themes identified lasl year were again reflected longer opening hours, increasing services, reducing waiting times are still areas of concern, although there is a recognition by the Centre and the women we support of capacity and financial limitations. The waiting times, more funding and staff. I don't think there is anything the women's centre can do to impiove itself- the government need to put more funding into mental health and women's care to provide increased services and decreased waiting times but that is the government not the centre of Course. The only thing I can think of is to open later for women that are in work or college so they can go after finish work or college 10 Stockport Women's Centre Try to shorten the initial waiting times to be seen is the number one thing that could be done. l understand this may have a lot to do with funding, but l arn sure that would really be of most beneficial to most people. Interestingly we also received more positive comments including... Lots of Nothing - Its fantastic That's a hard one because I'm honestly really satisfied with all the support I received and will recommend the centre to other women in need of some support. Very impressed with the amount of time given and the quality of the service, can't think of anything that needs improving. This is already an amazing service. l am ashamed to say I had never heard of Stockport Women's Centre before my GP suggested I contact you. Thank you for providing this service, l am so grateful for your help. Main challenges In 2024-25 and how we responded: In our previous annual report, we highlighted the challenge of rising registrations and re- access to Ihe service, alongside an increase in identified needs. This trend was particularly evident throughout 2023-24, with referrals and reactivations rising from an average of 40 per month in August 2022 to 60 per month by year-end. While referral numbers have stabilised in 2024-25, the complexity of need has deepened. Nearly half (47 % ) of women now present with five or more needs-often spanning mental health, housing, domestic abuse, financial insecurity, and parenting support-requiring longer-term, multi-layered intervenlion. We also know that some needs remain undisclosed at initial assessment, only emerging once a relationship of trust has been built. This reinforces the importance of Irauma-informed, relational practice and the need for sustained flexible support pathways. All these challenges have been coupled within the increase in demand as well as the increase in the number of women presenting with 4 or more needs. We responded by conlinuing with some of the strategies that was effective the previous year. Issuing foodbank vouchers, we provided immediate access to food, toiletries and emergency supplies. This is constantly being refilled during the day. We have a clothing bank. Supported 45 women and 60 children with gifts, food and care packs over the festive period. We identified key pressure points within our service and secured funding to establish a dedicated duty case worker role, positioned front-of-house to support women in immediate crisis. This role has now been embedded for over a year and continues to provide vital triage, assessing levels of need and determining Stockport Women's Centre the urgency of inlervention. It has significantly eased demand on the wider casework team while strengthening the support and guidance available at firsl point of contact. The duty case worker has contributed to a notable reduction in safeguarding referrals at assessment, indicating earlier, more effective intervention and improved outcomes for women ac￿Ssing our services. The counselling leam have successfully embedded a psycho-educational group called the Toolbox, now a core part of our therapeutic offer. Using focused artwork, women develop a personalised set of tools to help manage distress and build emotional resilience, The group is designed for those who have experienced trauma or significant life stressors and are struggling with day-to-day functioning. It provides a vital stabilisation space for women awaiting further support, helping them to feel more grounded and better equipped to engage with seNices. Over the past year, the Toolbox has proven to be an effective early inteNention, enhancing emotional safety and reducing escalation of need. Workshops continued to be offered on a weekly basis, and women can access once register and do not have to wait for an assessmenl. We offer seven weekly drop-in sessions a week, offering appointment-free support for women. All our services are free lo access All women can access social activities whilst waiting for 1.1 support. Creating lasting, sustainable change remains an ongoing challenge across our service and the sector. Continuity of funding and resources beyond the lifespan of individual projects is essential if we are to achieve long-term social outcomes and reduce repeated crisis-driven demand. INhat we delivered this year Access and openness - SINC has conlinued to operate as an accessible space for women, offering face-to-face, telephone, and video support. Practical support - We increased the range and volurne of practical support available to women and their families, helping with immediate needs that reduce risk and stabilise lives. Partnership co-location - More partner agencies are now delivering service8 from the Centre, strengthening our 'one-stop shop, approach and improving joined-up support for women. Longer-term 1..1 support - We have extended longer-term support for women presenting with complex, multiple needs, enabling deeper interventions and better continuity of care. Therapeutic offer - We further developed therapeutic group work and introduced new groups. 12 Stockport Women's Centre Stsff and Volunteers Our work is made possible by a dedicated staff team and a skilled volunteer workforce. In 2024-25 we employed 20 staff (16.5 FTE) and were supported by 102 volunteers across the year, with 79 volunteers active at year end. Volunteers make a huge conlribution to the charity, they provide essential support, expand our charities capabilities with their diverse skills set as well as help build a stronger, MO￿ engaged community. The volunteers have many roles in the centre ranging from counsellors, psychotherapists, drop-in workers. art and group facilitators, assessors, and administrators. Many of our volunteers have lived experience. The Centre is fortunate to having a dedicated staff team who are passionate about providing outstanding sepiices to wornen. Each role within the organisation is vital, without the commitment of staff and volunteers we would not be able to deliver the support services. The trustees would like to express their thanks to staff and volunteers for their remarkable commitment to Stockport Women's Centre. Funding Sources As well as the many individual supporters we would like to say thank you to the following organisations for supporting the vital work of charity. Bramhall Women's Institute Cheadle and Gatley Women's Institute Greater Manchester Combined Authority Greater Manchester Women's Support Alliance stockport Metropolitan Borough Council The Big Life Group The JABBS Foundation The Ministry of Justice The Pilgrim Trust The Zochonis Charitable Trust TMT Commercial Contractors Limited University of Birmingham We remain immensely thankful to all those supporters that have helped us to raise funds needed to meet the full costs of the projects and associate costs of running the project. 13 Stockport Women's Centre Financial Review The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. The statement shows that income for the year decreased from £650,999 to £640,515 with expenditure increasing from £631,303 to £697,437. This has resulted in a net deficit for the year of £56,832. This leaves funds as at 31 sl March 2025 totalling £174,393 of which £28,610 is restricted and £145,783 is unrestricted. During the year, the designated funds were utilised on the Complex Needs Caseworker's salary. During the year 22123, assets were purchased from restricted funding, in particular Ministry of Justice. The balances on the restricted funds (see note 15) represent, in the main, future depreciation. This now totals £23,835. These balances will reduce over the next two to nine years, depending upon the type of asset. Like so many charities we continue to face a challenging financial future as there continues to be significant reductions in funding by public bodies and increasing competition for grants and it is becoming harder to secure long term funding to cover the running costs of the Centre. Reserves Policy The balance held in unrestricted reseNes at 31s1 March 2025 was £145,783 with £143,917 being free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in fixed assets. However, not all the reserves are directly available to spend on its charitable activilies as the policy of the trustees is to hold sufficient funds for three months typical running costs in case of emergency. The level of reserves is monitored throughout the year as part of the charity's budgetary process. None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. Trade Creditors The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI'S Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1 DU). The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to: settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction; ensure that suppliers are made aware of Ihe terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and pay in accordance with the company's contractual and other legal obligations. Trade creditors of the company at the year-end were £11 ,677. 14 Stockport Women's Centre Investment Policy and Objectives The charity does not have an investment policy. When available, funds are held in interest bearing bank accounts to maximise returns. Rernuneratlon policy Remuneration for key management is agreed by the Trustees. Risk Management The Trustees assume responsibility for ongoing review of the risks facing the organisation. In this context, we define risk as the potential to fail to achieve our objectives and for loss, whether financial or reputational, inherent in the environment in which we operate. Stockport Women's Centre conducts an ongoing programme of, identifying risks in the following business-critical areas. The Trustees note the following specific areas thal give rise to the potential major risk areas for the forthcoming financial year. Financial Human Resources Safeguarding Relationships and external partnerships Identified risks are classified as of low, medium or high likelihood and as having small, serious or severe potential to damage the business. Those risks with medium to high chances of occurring andlor with serious to severe potential to damage are listed, monitored and steps taken to mitigate them. The trustees will consider the potential impact and likelihood of occurrence of these and other risks across the organisalion's activities and identify the key controls required. The Board will ensure that next year there is an appropriate control framework in place, recognising that the system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Charity's objectives. The Trustees consideT Ihat Stockport Women's Centre has procedures in place to maintain strong internal controls and are satisfied that the systems of financial control comply in all material aspects with the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission and are operating with sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable assurance. Our commitments 2025-26 Sustaining the service requires stable, long-term investment so that evidenced interventions can be scaled and embedded. In the coming year we will prioritise funding continuity, deepen partnership delivery at the Centre, and continue to strengthen trauma-informed, relational practice to ensure women receive timely, effective, and lasting support. 15 Stockport Women's Centre Secure sustainable funding - diversify income through multi-year grants, local commissioning, corporate partneiships, and community fundraising to protect core services. Expand long-term support for women with multlple unmet needs - grow casework and counselling capacity, increase flexible pathways (step-uplstep- down support) and reduce waiting times. Strengthen peer-led advocacy and co-production - formalise peer roles, create regular lived-experience advisory groups, and embed service-user voice into governance. Being part of the Effective Women's Centre Partnership and Embedding trauma-lnformed measurement and practice - over 18 months ago the Centre began a journey to better evidence the support we offer women. The Women's Risk Needs Assessment (WRNA) has been embedded into serrfice delivery for women who are in contact with the criminal justice system or at risk of offending. From summer 2025, we will be offering Gendered Wellbeing Assessment (GWA) for women not in contact with the criminal justice system but have multiple, unmet need. The GWA has been developed by EWC partnership Research partner University of Birmingham. The goal for the Effective Women's Centre and SWC as a member of the EWC is "women, wherever they are in England and Wales, experience sufficiently funded, holistic, perSon-￿ntred, gender- and trauma-responsive seNices, meaning women's needs and strengths are recognised, evidenced and met; their voices are listened to., and they have agency to transform the systems which impact them to create better lives for themselves and for society" Malntain a safe, inclusive space for women to thrive protect accessible opening hours, increase hybrid delivery options, and continue practical supports (food, clothing, emergency packs) alongside Iherapeutic interventions.
