Thoy ara individuals who, all too often, have been failed by a society that overlooks the trauma and adversity they've endured. At Together Women, we stand alongside them, not just to help them survive but to support them in reclaiming their lives and building a better future. This past year hag boon a profound p9riod of rafloction and action for us. The criminal justice system is in crisis, and women we support are at the intersection of some of society's most pressing issues.. mental health, homelessness, substance abuse, and the lasting scars of domestic and sexual violence. In 2023124, we continued our long-standing commitment to providing gender-specific, trauma- informed care that has always been at the heart of Together Women's mission. The demand for our services has never been greater, underscoring the critical need for the work we have been delivering for almost two decades. Our response to these challenges has been both strategic and impactful. We need to stem the flow of women entering the criminal justice system, and initiatives like our Early Intervention and Diversion Service are crucial in doing this. These programs are designed to divert women at the earliest possible stage, offering them the support they need before they become entrenched in the justice system. By providing timely and targo.ted SLipport, we can addrÈgs th@ Linderlying issueg that often lead to criminal behaviour-such as trauma, mental health struggles, and socioeconomic pressures-thereby preventing women from being swept into a cycle of incarceration. This approach not only reduces the likelihood of reoffending but also supports women to take control of their lives in a positive and sustainable way, helping them 10 builcl a future free from the shadow ot the criminal Justice system. Thanks to the generous support of the Smallwood Trust, Together Women has been able to provide a vital lifeline to women in crisis, offering direct grants that have made a profound difference in their lives. These grants have been more than just financial support; they have been a source of hope and a means for women to regain control over their circumstances. Whether it's helping a woman secure stable housing, access essential household items, or support her journey towards employment and financial stability, the impact of these grants has been transformative. The trust placed in women to decide how best to use these funds has empowered them to take decisive steps towards rebuilding their lives, often after experiencing immense hardship. The partnership with Smallwood Trust has not only provided critical resources but has also strengthened the bonds of trust bptwg.g.n wnme.n and the services we offer. Thig initiative has truly been a beacon of hope for many, and we are deeply grateful to the Smallwood Trust for making this possible. To ether Women Annual Re ort 2024 This year, we also took significant steps to shape the future of our organization. we developed and launched our new five-year strategy, crafted with the invaluable input of our staff, trustees, and women we support. This strategy, underpinned by our newly designed Theory of Change, sets a clear and ambitious path for Together Women. It focuses on enhancing our service delivery, advocating for systemic change, and ensuring that the voices ond needs of women remain central to everything we do. Our Board of Trustees has been instrumental in guiding our strategic direction. Their insights and dedication have been crucial in helping us navigate the complexities of our work. We aro doeply grateful for their leadership and for their Linwaverin commitment to ensuring that Together Women remains a vital support system for women in need. Our staff, volunteers, and partners have also been at the forefront of our success. Their dedication to our mission is inspiring. They have worked tirelessly, often in the face of significant challenges, to ensure that every woman who comes to us receives the care and support she deserves. This year, we welcomed new team members, bolstered our senior leadership, and continued to build a culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. Looking ahead, we are both hopeful and determined. We know that the road ahead will not be easy, but we are confident in our ability to meet the challenges before us. Together Women will continLie to be a steadfast SOLirce of SLipport for women and girls in the criminal justice system. We will advocate tirelessly for the systemic changes needed to create a more just and equitable society, and we will continue to deliver services that are not only effective but also grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by women we support. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past year-our staff, volunteers, trustees, partners, funders, and most importantly, women who have trusted us to walk alongside them on their journey.

Through building strong partnerships with courts, police, and local agencies, we have created a pathway that not only diverts women from reoffending but also addresses the root causes of their contact with the justice system. The impact has been profound, with many women taking steps towards stability and safety, proving the importance of early intervention in breaking the cycle of horm.

I left with nothing and had to start again. Eventually I got the chance of a job but needed to sit some exams. The nearest organisation who delivered the training was miles away and out of my grasp. My keyworker suggested an online course and applied to Smallwood Trust for a laptop, which was approved. This was a massive step forward for me and gave my confidence a huge boost.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonuble assurance about wheth8r the linanciol statements as a whole ore free from material misstatement, whether due to ffoud or error, and to iSSLJe on auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ol OSSLfrunc& but Ig not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) wlll always det&ct a matorial misstatement when it exists. Misstatèments can arise from fraud or error and are considerad material il, individually or in the aggregate, they could r&asonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stat8m&nts. A turther description of our responsibilities is available on the Financiijl Reporting Council's website at.. https'.11 www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities.

We obtain and updcfte our understanding ol thè entity, its octivities, its control environment, and likely future dovglopm8nts, includlng In relation to the legcjl and regulatory Irumework applicabl8 and how the entity is complying with that frcjmework. Based on this und8rstonding we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whgther due to Irtsud or error, design and perform audit procedures respor)sive to those risks, and obtain audit evidenc? that Is sufficient and appropiiate to provide a basis fo¥ our opinion. This include5 considgration ol the risk of acts by thg gntity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulutions, including fraud. In response to the risk ot irrggularltles and non-compliance with laws and regulatlons, including fraud, we designed procedures which included.. Enquiry of management and those charged with govèrnance around actual and potential litlgution and claims os well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud., Reviewing minutes ol meetings of those charged with gDvernance,' Assessing tho oxtent DI compliunce with the laws clnd regulations considergd to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection,.

Parforming audit work over the risk of management blas and overridg of controls, includlng testing of journ(Jl entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business ratioriale of significant transactions outside the normal cours6 of business and reviewing accounting estlmates for indlcotors ot potential bias. Because of the inherent limitatlons of an audiL th@18 is a risk that we wlll not detect all irregularitigs, includlng those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-complianca with regulation. This risk increas8S the more that compllonce with a law or regulution is removed from the evsnts and transactions reflected in tho financial statements, as we will be le88 likely to become oware ot instances of non-compllunce. The risk of not detecting a material misstatem&nt rosulting from fraud is higher than for on& resulting from errDr, a fraud rnoy involve collusiory forg&ry, intontional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ol internal control.
