We are drlven by our v15i0n of a world where everyone can lfve free from fear and hami. Our mlsslon is to support arKI empower those from BAMER ¢ommunlfjes whose Ilves have been affected by violen¢e and abuse. to take control of thelr lives and move forward into healthy, stable, and safer futures. Our strength lie5 in our abllity to develop hi8h quallty serylce5 and we strlve to develop new partnershlps, new projects and new services which enhance the support avallable to BAMER women across the UK. Our model of support offers a holistic, flexible end to end approach which is dlrertly developed based on feedback and needs of those that we support. Many EAMER women with complex needs and who are at hl8h rlsk may not follow malnstream pathways or access seNlces through the usual referral routes and may not be approprlately supported wlthout our seNlce. Our experlenee and research have found that BAMER women are less likely to seek help from sethces they percelve as Insen$ltlve to thelr values and needs, and this relnforces the mar8inal1sa￿on they experlence due to soclal and economk Inequalltles. BAMER women also face cultural and soclal barrlers of honouf, shame and stigma attached to leavln8 abusfve reladon5hlps. Comblned wlth personal feellngs of gullt and responslbllltyand oftenthe uncertaintyof insecure Imm18ra￿On status, they may endure abuse for longer perlods, and to be experlenclng severe abuse and extreme IsolaUon by the tlme they seek help.

REllREMENT BENEF￿sCHEmES- contlnued Following a change in legislation in September 2005 there is a potential debt on the employer that could be levied by the trustee of the Plan and The Pensions Act 2011 has more recently altered the definition of Series 3 of the Growth Plan so that a liability arises to employers from membershlp of any Serles except Series 4. The debt Is due in the event of the employer ceasiTrx to participate in the Plan or the Plan wlndlng up. The debt for the Plan as a whole 15 calculated by comparing the liabllitles for the Plan (calculated on a bUY￿ut basls i.e. the cost of securlng benefits by purchaslng annuity policles from an insurer, plus an allowance for expen5e51 wlth the assets of the Plan. If the Ilabilities exceed assets there is a buy-out debt. The leavlng employer's Share of the buy-out debt is the proportion of the Plan's Ilablllty attrlbutable to employmentwith the leaving en)ployer tompared to the total amount of the Plan's Ilabllldes Irelatlng to employment wlth all the currently participating employers).
