As we reflect on 2023-2024, it has been a year of significant growth and adaptation for Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS). In a time of increasing demand for our services, we have been able to expand and strengthen our capacity to support those in need, thanks to the unwavering dedication of our team, partners, and funders.
One of the key highlights of this year was the generous support from the Coutts Foundation , which enabled us to strengthen our Support Line by introducing dedicated Front Door Workers. This has allowed us to provide timely and responsive support to survivors, ensuring that those in urgent need receive immediate assistance and guidance on their journey to safety and recovery.
We were also proud to launch Oak House , the first dedicated refuge for male victims of domestic abuse in Greater Manchester. This ground-breaking initiative reflects our commitment to providing inclusive and gender-responsive services. Additionally, we launched the Safer Ageing Project , a new service dedicated to supporting older survivors of domestic abuse, further expanding our commitment to offer tailored support to all individuals affected by abuse.
This year, we were pleased to welcome several new members to our Board of Trustees , who bring a host of expertise and experience. Their fresh perspectives will play a vital role in guiding TDAS through the evolving challenges of our sector and ensuring we continue to deliver impactful services.
We also made staff wellbeing a key priority, recognising the importance of a healthy, supported workforce. This year, we developed a Wellbeing Strategy and introduced Wellbeing Champions across the organisation to lead wellbeing initiatives.

Message from Our Chair and CEO Continued
These champions, alongside our strategy, have been instrumental in creating a culture where staff feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive both personally and professionally.
In line with our goal of expanding financial sustainability, we were also excited to appoint our first-ever Fundraising Manager in February 2024. This role will be crucial in driving our fundraising strategy forward, with a particular focus on securing unrestricted funding, allowing us to continue offering life-changing support to survivors.
As we move forward, we remain deeply committed to providing traumainformed, inclusive services that uphold our core values. With the continued support of our community, partners, and stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to meet growing demand and make a lasting difference in the lives of those impacted by domestic abuse.
Thank you for standing with us as we work toward a future where everyone can live free from abuse.
Sincerely,

The Reach Project Continued
Women were supported in their primary language and connected with healthcare, mental health services, and immigration support. We also developed move-on housing for women from diverse communities, offering continued emotional and safety support, along with independent living skills. Women were linked with local diverse community groups and accessed culturally appropriate food, counselling in various languages, and housing applications in safe areas.
The Young Person’s Domestic Abuse Advisor (YPDA) supported 128 young people through tailored, person-centred support plans, focusing on healthy relationships and safety planning.
In total, the CNDAA completed 128 safety and support plans, conducted over 300 risk assessments, and referred eight high-risk cases to Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC).
ADViSE
In partnership with Tameside, Manchester and Stockport, IRISi funded the ADViSE project in Trafford, coordinated by TDAS . This has supported 72 clients, providing tailored emotional and practical assistance to victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence. Despite capacity challenges, effective collaboration with our neighbouring boroughs ensured that all clients received timely support. Patient feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with most clients expressing satisfaction with the quality of care and support they received. The project has prioritised inclusivity, offering services to a diverse range of clients, including those of varying genders and sexual orientations.

Professionals Training
We expanded our Professionals Training to engage more services and educate their workforces on domestic abuse. This year, we partnered with other agencies to share knowledge and deliver sessions that addressed the multiple disadvantages survivors often face. We developed additional Lunch and Learn sessions, focusing on key issues affecting survivors, which were well received.
Our training package received accreditation, further validating the quality of our programs. We also delivered specialised training during the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence , equipping professionals with the tools to effectively support survivors and respond to domestic abuse.
We provided these training packages to 769 delegates.

Accommodation Service Continued
Thanks to funding from the Masonic Charitable Foundation , Charles Haywood and Garfield Weston we were able to continue to dedicate comprehensive support to families residing in our refuge. Our team of Children and Families Support Workers provided tailored 1:1 and group sessions, helping both children and parents heal from the trauma of domestic abuse.
This year, we expanded our services to include play therapy sessions delivered by our qualified family workers, which have been crucial in supporting children’s emotional and psychological recovery. We also provided homework clubs to assist children with their education and sibling work to strengthen bonds between siblings impacted by domestic abuse.

Healthy —_ Relationships Project
This year, our Supporting Young People to Have Healthy Relationships Project went from strength to strength. In partnership with DASK Films , we produced two short films in consultation with young people, addressing the challenges they face today, particularly around domestic abuse and healthy relationships. These films have been instrumental in raising awareness and driving important conversations among young people and educators alike.
Alongside the films, we continued delivering dramabased interventions and workshops to young people aged 13 and over, offering them a safe space to learn about the effects of domestic abuse. Teachers also received training on how to handle disclosures and recognize the signs of abuse in young people, as well as how to provide appropriate support.
We are thrilled to be developing our School Affiliation Programme, which will award schools a certificate of affiliation to demonstrate their commitment to educating staff and young people on healthy relationships and domestic abuse prevention. This program will solidify the partnership between TDAS and schools, ensuring ongoing education and support in creating a safer environment for all .

Volunteer Service
With thanks to the National Lottery funding, our dedicated Volunteer and Training service manager delivered a successful year for volunteers. Throughout the year, we were fortunate to have 19 dedicated volunteers (including 5 counsellors) who generously contributed a combined total of 1690 hours to support our services. We also had corporate volunteers from Matillion paint our refuge and Tier 2 spaces, and Lloyds Bank staff come and redesign the refuge garden space at Phoenix House – planting flowers and herbs for the women and children to enjoy.
The volunteers have been an invaluable additional source of support for TDAS services. Their roles have included; attending court to support clients, supporting admin with referrals, offering reiki and guided meditation sessions to service users in refuge, facilitating Back to Me, Women’s groups and Male True Colours, accompanying service users to immigration and solicitors’ appointments, supporting with health and safety checks, preparing refuge rooms for new arrivals and assisting the staff team in delivering essential support. They have helped increase engagement from service users in participating in True Colours and Back to Me. The two group facilitator volunteers have become an invaluable source of support, they have become staples to the service and their consistency and commitment to the service is astounding. One of our dedicated volunteers working closely with our Victim Voice Facilitator to deliver ‘Sheroes’ a women’s group for exservice users of TDAS to receive emotional support from other ex-service users.

Volunteer Service Continued
We have also taken on 5 volunteer trainee Person Centred Counsellors – between them they support 20 clients at a time. They offer both in person and online counselling sessions. We have just opened up this service to Safe in Salford and have provided 2 volunteer trainee Counsellors to support the IDVA team.
We delivered a fantastic Volunteers Celebration for Volunteers Week, making dry clay pottery, which was really well received – and plans to meet up again and paint the pieces!
“I think that this volunteering will give me a step up when applying for jobs as i want to do something involving the CJS, I have applied for a job at Styal Prison as a family resettlement officer and I think that this volunteering will help give me a push to be considered. Even if it doesn’t, I’ll always be grateful for this volunteer experience and the opportunity to learn new things. Thank you to Jenny and the whole team for all their help and support!”
In addition to the feedback, 100% of volunteers said TDAS has had a positive benefit on their course, career, knowledge or experience and 100% of volunteers said that volunteering at TDAS was a successful experience.
“I think that J is a great asset to TDAS and their volunteers, she is readily available to help and made me feel welcome. Her training also made me feel very prepared when it came to conducting the calls and navigating OASIS”

National Lottery - Reaching Communities Fund
The second year of this project continued to be a success thanks to funding. Our ‘Training for Professionals’ programme passed accreditation in October 2023. We had 19 volunteers dedicating their valuable time to supporting our families along with 7 students who were on social work placements. We have had corporate volunteers support with decorating and gardening projects to enhance our accommodation for the families residing there. We have developed partnerships with organisations and supported them with the development of their programmes. Thanks to this funding, We worked with Diversity Matters North West on the development of a bespoke True Colours Programme specifically for the South Asian Community. This included a focus group (October 23’) we held following one of our True Colours © sessions, in which our service users spoke to our victim voice facilitator and for those service users who could not stay for the focus group, we devised a survey for them to complete.
The outcome of the focus group was a request to reach out more to help British Asian women due to the lack of appropriate community resources and communication around domestic abuse. It was also brought to our attention to attempt to adapt our programme for the demographic of the group. Overall, the feedback from the focus group was positive.

Salford Service \
With funding from Salford City Council , we established the Safe in Salford Partnership in April 2022, alongside Salford Foundation , Manchester Women’s Aid , Pankhurst Trust , and Talk Listen Change . This partnership offers a holistic one front door service for victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. By uniting our expertise and resources, we provide a comprehensive, traumainformed response to domestic abuse in Salford. Our delivery within the partnership includes both the Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) service and the Harbour Children's Service , ensuring tailored support for individuals and families.
Under the Safe in Salford partnership, we continued delivering our Harbour Service , a prevention and support initiative for children and young people in Salford. Through one-to-one support, family support, dedicated young person services, group programs, and awareness workshops, we reached 205 children and young people this year. Key outcomes included: 92% of CYP reported feeling safer
88% of CYP felt optimistic about their future

Salford Service Continued
With additional funding this year, we were able to increase our IDVA capacity, allowing us to support even more individuals at high risk of harm. This expansion has strengthened our ability to provide timely and comprehensive support to those in urgent need across Salford. We were also fortunate to be part of a pilot funded by GMCA to appoint a Domestic Abuse Crisis Worker who works in partnership with the police and supports people who have recently had an incident – through this pilot, the crisis worker managed to offer short term advice and intervention to 1277 individuals , some of which were referred for longer term support within our Safe in Salford Partnership.
A special thanks to the GMCA for funding two Young Persons Violence Advisor (YPVA) posts for Trafford and Salford this year. This funding enabled us to provide specialist support to young people at high risk of harm, particularly those in unhealthy relationships. By integrating the YPVAs into our IDVA teams, we were able to enhance our capacity to support high-risk individuals, offering more comprehensive care to young people in need.
We supported 63 Young People across both boroughs with this additional funding .

Victim Voice Facilitator
We have received continuation funding from the Trafford Council to employ a Victim Voice Facilitator. This role has been , and continues to be , crucial in gathering feedback from survivors in Trafford on the response they received to domestic abuse from professionals, enabling Trafford Local Partnership Board to identify gaps and inform future plans.
The VVF has made significant progress in supporting domestic abuse survivors across various demographics reaching 78 adults and children. Male refuge residents reported feeling safe and supported, while collaborations with UCLAN and DLUHC advanced research on social service support and the Safe and Together Model. The women's group, "Sheroes," focuses on healthy relationships, with input from volunteers and staff from TDAS. A major theme from discussions with survivors is the need for clearer communication and more consistent updates, especially from law enforcement and courts. Victimsurvivor feedback highlighted a need for better signposting to services and longer-term support for children.
A parenting consultation praised TDAS's programmes, particularly their work with children within the R Space programme. The VVF has also been involved in public outreach through events like 16 Days of Activism, while new initiatives include a focus on older community support, collaboration with Age UK, and a women’s group led by a health coach. The VVF was involved in enhancing empowerment for survivors by creating a visual project "Tell My Story – My Way" to share survivor experiences.

Partnerships, Supporters and Donors
To deliver our support services, we collaborate with incredible individuals and organisations who generously contribute their time, fundraise, and provide donations. Their support is essential to our success, and without their dedication, we would not have been able to achieve the fantastic outcomes we have. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of them for making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.
This year, we were incredibly fortunate to benefit from donated services totaling £14,900 through our partnership with local legal firms. These contributions provided invaluable legal advice and representation to individuals and families affected by abuse, enabling them to navigate complex legal challenges with confidence and support. This partnership not only alleviates financial barriers for our service users but also strengthens our commitment to empowering survivors and rebuilding lives. We are deeply grateful to our legal partners for their generosity and dedication to making a meaningful impact in our community.

Structure, aaa governance and management
Governing document
The governing document of the charitable company is its Memorandum and Articles of association. The charity was incorporated on 6 April 1994 and the memorandum and articles were reviewed in 2019 when changes were made to reflect the organisations decision to widen service delivery of most services.
Company Status
The company is limited by guarantee and all members have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of winding-up. The number of guarantees at 31st March 2024 was 8.
Trustee selection methods
The board comprises a membership of not less than three and no more than fourteen people, who meet bimonthly. A quorum of three Trustees is required at any meeting. TDAS welcomes applications to join the board from all areas of the community, particularly from people with the necessary skills and/or experience to enhance and strengthen the Board.
Any person who is interested in becoming a Trustee will be —_ sent an information pack and an application form, which is then discussed by the Trustees and a decision is made on whether the individual will be invited to become a nd probationary Trustee.
Induction and Training of Trustees
All probationary Trustees are invited to attend Board meetings and attend at least two meetings with other trustees to discuss whether they feel they are getting to know the organisation and the Chair to answer any questions they may have. The trustee is invited to express any interest they have in a particular area of the organisation’s work, which the Chair then discusses with the CEO and asks her to meet with the Trustee. If the induction period has gone well, the probationary trustee is then formally invited to join the Board after attendance at a minimum of two board meetings.

Organisational Structure
Our Board of Trustees have accountability and delegate responsibility to the CEO for day-today strategic operations. The Director of Operations is responsible for Safeguarding, Policy, Human-Resource, marketing, I.T and GDPR functions and line manages the Service Managers who are responsible for contract delivery, ensuring standards and outcomes are met and frontline staff are appropriately trained, supported and supervised.
The Trustees oversee the work undertaken by the staff team, monitor performance against targets agreed with funders, risk management, compliance and health and safety and safeguarding and GDPR.
They are also responsible for the strategic direction of the organisation. The CEO attends Board meetings as company secretary, and brings proposals for future work to the Board that have developed out of discussions with service users and staff at their regular team Meetings.
The Trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 of the accounts.
Towards the end of the financial year, the board agreed to the NJC Pay scale increases for all staff within the organisation, this was backdated for 2022-2023 by two payments, one in November 2022 and another in March 2023.

Risk
Management
The Trustees regularly review and assess the risks faced by their charity in all areas of its work and plan for the management of those risks. Risk is an everyday part of charitable activity and managing it effectively is essential if we are to achieve our key objectives and safeguard the charity’s funds and assets.
Our risk register is reviewed annually by the board and discussed at board meetings which looks at governance, external risks, regulatory and compliance, financial and operational risks. We have robust internal processes in relation to financial transactions and review our policies and procedures in relation to risk factors at all levels and health and safety controls are in place throughout the organisation.

Key challenges we have and still do face include:
Uncertainty of Long-Term Commissioning The uncertainty surrounding long-term commissioning poses ongoing risks. As we face the prospect of budget cuts and contract renewals, planning for the future becomes more complex. We are actively engaging with funders to secure long-term agreements that provide stability and ensure uninterrupted services to those we support.
Cost of Living Crisis The cost of living crisis continues to strain our organisation and beneficiaries alike. Operational costs are rising, and we are experiencing increased demand for our services. At the same time, our staff and volunteers are facing the burden of higher living expenses, requiring us to prioritise their wellbeing. We must remain a competitive employer to support and secure our staff team and advocate for additional funds to support our beneficiaries.
Operating Costs and Inflation With inflation expected to persist, operating costs are likely to increase further. Charities across the sector may be forced to cut expenses, which puts pressure on our ability to deliver services effectively. Balancing rising costs with the need for efficient service delivery will be a key challenge for us in 2024.

Increasing Demand for Services D emand for our services has continued to rise, with the complexity of survivors' needs increasing. Ensuring we have the necessary resources to maintain high-quality, accredited, and responsive services is one of our top priorities. We must allocate sufficient staff, funding, and infrastructure to meet this growing demand effectively

Key challenges continued:
Competition for Donations As the economic environment remains difficult, competition for donations is intensifying. With more organisations seeking funding from a limited pool of donors, it will be crucial to differentiate ourselves and communicate our impact effectively. Strengthening our fundraising strategies and deepening donor relationships will be essential to securing the resources we need.
Cybersecurity and Data Protection As we continue to expand our digital footprint, we face growing cybersecurity risks, such as phishing, ransomware attacks , and data breaches. Enhancing our cybersecurity infrastructure and ensuring robust data protection will be critical to safeguarding both our organisational integrity and the sensitive information of the individuals we serve.
Political and Legal Environment The political landscape, particularly in an election year, adds further complexity to our financial planning. Election years often result in delays in decision-making, which can affect organisational finances and the contract tendering process. We will remain vigilant in adapting to these changes.
Housing Crisis The ongoing housing crisis presents a significant challenge to the individuals and families we support. With a shortage of affordable housing options and rising rental costs, it is becoming increasingly difficult for survivors of domestic abuse to secure stable, safe housing. This, in turn, increases demand for our accommodation services and places additional strain on our resources. We must continue advocating for more affordable housing solutions while exploring partnerships to provide long-term housing support for those in need.
Demand on Statutory Services The increasing strain on statutory services, such as health, housing, and social care, is having a direct impact on our organization. As statutory services struggle to meet demand, we are seeing more complex cases being referred to us, requiring greater levels of support. This not only places additional pressure on our teams but also increases the need for specialist services that can bridge the gaps in statutory provision. Ensuring we have the capacity to manage this increased demand will be a key focus in the coming year.

Fundraising
In February 2024, we employed a Fundraising Manager with the goal of increasing our fundraising activity. However, during this financial year, we did not launch any large-scale campaigns. Instead, we focused on running smaller campaigns to support our core services through a regulated fundraising platform. All of our fundraising efforts are managed in-house by our senior leadership team, and we do not have relationships with any external professional fundraisers.
We are pleased to report that there were no instances of non-compliance with the fundraising code, and we received no complaints through the Charity Commission during this period.
Our privacy policy is kept up to date and is accessible to everyone via our website and clear instructions are given on how to contact us if anyone should have any grievances with our fundraising activities.
Fundraising activities including small campaigns are shared on our social media platforms and we use the appropriate platforms to undertake this activity. Any direct fundraising requests are made only of supporters who have opted in to receive communications from us, and they can unsubscribe at any time. We received no complaints this year in relation to fundraising activities.
All our staff are well trained in dealing with members of the public and our CEO is also a member of the Foundation of Social Improvement, which provides guidelines and training to ensure that our practices are in line with industry standards.

Financial Overview
Financial Review
This period has again been successful for the charity with an income of £3,054,677 (2023: £ 2,446,222) and expenditure of £2,657,657 (2023: £2,101,210)
During the financial year ending March 31, 2024, Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS) experienced continued growth, with an increase in both income and expenditure driven by heightened demand for our services, inflationary pressures, and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Despite these challenges, we have successfully managed our financial position and maintained stability across both restricted and unrestricted funds.

Income
Total income for the year was £3,054,677, reflecting a significant increase compared to £2,446,222 in the previous year (2023). The majority of this income came from charitable activities, which amounted to £3,013,519, up from £2,417,567 in 2023. The increase was primarily due to expanded funding from statutory bodies and partnerships for both accommodation and community-based services. This includes critical support from Trafford MBC, Henry Smith, and the National Lottery Community Fund, among others. Income from donations and legacies, however, decreased slightly to £26,258 from £28,655 in 2023. We received donated services of £14,900 from partnerships with local legal firms. While we remain grateful for the ongoing support from individual donors, the economic environment has presented challenges in attracting new regular donors, which we continue to address through focused engagement strategies.
Expenditure
Total expenditure for the year amounted to £2,657,657, an increase from £2,101,210 in 2023. This reflects both the rising demand for services and the higher costs associated with staff recruitment and retention, service delivery, and inflationary pressures, particularly within accommodation services. Notably, staff costs increased to £1,916,564 from £1,583,105 in the previous year, reflecting the essential growth of our team to meet service needs and the impact of pay adjustments tied to the cost-of-living crisis.
Accommodation services continue to represent a significant portion of our expenditure; £853,092, with £415,528 allocated towards staffing related costs and a further £437,564 towards safe house operations and management. Rising utility costs and propertyrelated expenses have had a substantial impact on overall operational costs.

Financial Overview Continued
Net Movement and Reserves Policy
At Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS), we are committed to maintaining a reserves level that ensures the financial stability and continuity of our services. Given the size and scale of our operations, we aim to hold free reserves equivalent to between 4 and 6 months of our running costs. This level of reserves allows us to manage financial risks, respond to unexpected costs, and ensure we can continue delivering essential services even in periods of funding uncertainty.
Our reserves include funds set aside for redundancy and potential closing down costs, alongside designated funds for specific purposes such as staff training and contingency. By maintaining this reserve range, TDAS remains resilient and well-positioned to meet both current and future challenges. We regularly review our reserves to ensure they align with the evolving needs and risks of the organisation.
The net movement in funds for the year was £397,020, with total funds carried forward amounting to £1,657,700, an improvement from £1,278,680 in 2023. This growth in reserves reflects careful financial management, positioning TDAS well to handle future challenges including the potential decommissioning of services, despite an increasingly challenging external environment.
We maintain designated funds for specific purposes, including staff training, accommodation for victims with no recourse to public funds and contingency funds, with a total of £82,000 allocated to these reserves
Current unrestricted funds balance
As of 31st March 2024, Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS) carried forward an unrestricted funds balance of £1,409,771 (2023: £974,469, 2022: £777,966). After accounting for designated funds, free (undesignated) reserves stand at £1,327,771. While our unrestricted funds have increased this year, our expenditure has also grown in line with the expansion of our services and activities. As a result, we remain in the same financial position as the previous year, with free reserves sufficient to cover 5 months of running costs plus closing down costs.
Risk Management
TDAS faces several key financial risks, including funding uncertainty, inflation, and the potential loss or reduction of key contracts from March 2025. With many funding agreements subject to renewal or dependent on external factors, there is a risk of decreased income from government contracts and grants. Rising inflation also adds pressure to operational costs, including staffing, utilities, and service delivery expenses, which could impact the charity’s ability to maintain its current level of services. To mitigate these risks, we are actively working on diversifying our income streams through increased fundraising efforts, securing long-term agreements with funders, and forming strategic partnerships to share resources and reduce costs.

Financial Overview Continued
Impact of External Factors
The economic and environmental landscape has significantly influenced our charity’s financial and operational capabilities over the past year. The ongoing cost-of-living crisis and rising inflation have increased both our operational costs and the financial strain on the individuals and families we support. Higher utility costs, wages, and service delivery expenses have impacted our budget, while the increasing demand for our services has stretched our resources further.
In response to these pressures, we have implemented several costmanagement strategies to maintain sustainability. These include renegotiating supplier contracts, adopting more cost-efficient operational processes, and closely monitoring our expenditures to ensure financial prudence. We have also made necessary wage adjustments to support our staff amidst rising living costs, while continuing to balance service delivery and financial stability. Despite these challenges, our proactive financial management has enabled us to navigate the current economic environment while maintaining the quality of our services.
Cash Flow Management
Maintaining a healthy cash flow is essential for ensuring the operational continuity of TDAS. We closely monitor cash inflows and outflows to anticipate and manage any short-term financial gaps. This includes regularly reviewing our budget and financial projections to ensure we have enough liquidity to cover core expenses, such as staff salaries and service delivery costs. By keeping a reserve of unrestricted funds equivalent to 4-6 months of running costs, we can address any unexpected delays in funding or unforeseen expenses, ensuring our ability to continue delivering vital services to those in need .
Future Income Strategy
TDAS is committed to diversifying its income streams to ensure longterm sustainability and reduce reliance on a few key funders. We plan to increase our focus on securing larger government contracts by partnering with other specialist organisations, which will allow us to deliver more comprehensive services while spreading financial risk. Additionally, we will expand our efforts in corporate fundraising and individual giving by enhancing our donor engagement strategies and leveraging match-funding opportunities like The Big Give. A newly appointed Fundraising Manager will play a crucial role in supporting income diversification, helping us tap into new grant opportunities, corporate partnerships, and regular donor programs to strengthen our financial resilience.

Our primary focus during this period is ensuring stability and sustainability. While we remain committed to fulfilling our strategic objectives and exploring innovative ways to support our beneficiaries, our priority must be securing and stabilizing our existing services. With rising demand and increasing costs, it is essential that we concentrate on maintaining the quality and continuity of our current provision. We will continue to focus on funding and resources to safeguard our existing accommodation and community services, ensuring that the vital support we offer to survivors of domestic abuse remains accessible and sustainable during this challenging time.
