Introduction

It aims to enable women to participate fully in the social, cultural and civic life of the borough. We are a service-oriented charity seeking to provide support in improving the health and wellbeing of women.

Summary of Services Delivered :

4

Underpinning Objectives of Enfield Saheli :

Principle objects and activities

Enfield Saheli - voluntary organisation which provides services and activities to support and empower Women. It works closely with the statutory and local organisations.

The overall objectives of the organisation are: -

Governance, Structure and Management

In August 2008, Enfield Saheli became a registered company limited by guarantee, number 6663604, governed by its Memorandum and Articles. These are wholly based on the Trust Deed formerly governing the charity which has reregistered with the Charity Commissioners under a new number 1129308. New Directors and Trustees are appointed by a resolution of the Directors passed at a meeting of the Directors.

5

The overall management of finance is the responsibility of all the Trustees acting on the recommendations of the Chairperson, Trustees, Secretary and the advice of the Chief Executive. The Trustees form the Executive which meets regularly throughout the year.

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Our Volunteers

Enfield Saheli is very involved in the community and relies on voluntary help. Around 14 volunteers assist with our on-going activities. We wish to thank our volunteers for their loyal support and contribution.

Risk management

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

● An annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity undertake.

● The establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and

● The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

The Trustees constantly review risks relevant to the charity. Any risks identified are reported to the Trustees and decisions made on how to minimise risk.

Reserves policy and going concern

The Board has assessed the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level which ensures that Enfield Saheli’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The target reserve amount represents at least 6 months’ (26 weeks) expenditure and will be reviewed annually.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

It is now time to review the activities of Enfield Saheli during the past year, highlight its achievements, make a note of its shortcomings & give a future direction to such activities

The period from 2020 - 2021 has been a time of new challenges, continued success and new milestones for Saheli.

Due to Covid 19 – demand to our services increased. The trustees agreed to use our reserves to continue the service we provide to our service users

Our services have assisted a number of women and their families and made a significant impact in the local community. The number of clients we served saw a marked increase in referral primarily due to our effective counselling services to help victims of domestic violence and mental health problems and ongoing Support, Advice & Information. Several other organisations in our borough during this period has also closed services, which increased our referrals.

Saheli is also very active in its support and services to the elderly and senior members of our society. We organised various talks by recognised professionals on important health issues for the benefit of our women. Our walking club has attracted over 60 women to participate regularly with our promise to create more opportunities to improve the health and well-being of our members.

6

Our regular drop-in and luncheon clubs with activities are very popular as we are continuously working towards improving in our delivery of service. The Emotional Well-being Focus Group is engaging with vulnerable women to empower them with additional skills with support from IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies)

Future Plans for Saheli – with an effective service, we will continue working in partnership with other groups. We envisage securing a contract for Domestic Violence Advocacy Service, in addition to developing our Advice & Information Service. Fortunately, our Mental Health counselling project has not been affected

We always faced a lot of challenges in pursuit of continuous improvements while balancing with a drive to contain and reduce costs. Through Social Media - Saheli has its Facebook account. We are in the process of updating our website to give it a new look and make it more user friendly.

Our members have been dedicating their time to make Saheli robust and are encouraged to attend events to see the work being carried out by Enfield Saheli staff. We have been well served with a skilful and able board who have voluntarily given their time for the success of the organisation. Saheli CEO Krishna Pujara and staff has been working hard to promote Saheli out into the community.

I would like to thank our Board members, staff, sessional staff, Student Social Workers and Volunteers for their continuous hard work. Finally thank you, each and every member of Saheli, its well-wishers and volunteers. It is your help and support that has made Saheli so successful.

I also want to say a special thanks all our funders, donors and well wishers for their support

Achievements

Enfield Saheli has achieved its aims and objectives this year. I am pleased to inform that Key services achieved their milestone. We are very pleased that our projects have reached out to a number of women in the community.

We continue to receive very positive word-of-mouth feedback from our clients following our drop-in sessions.

This year Saheli led online International Women’s Day / Mental Health Conference and Dancing for a Cause for the survivors of Domestic Abuse. This helped to reach out to wider communities in raising awareness. We also partnered with BAPS London to raise awareness on Domestic Abuse.

Due to changes in the funding for Voluntary Community Organisations & increased pressure during Covid 19, some of the organisations have closed down and there has been an additional demand to our services. We are receiving more referrals to our services.

We are very thankful to our active and committed volunteers who have made a substantial contribution to our administration.

Finance and Fundraising

We are thankful to our funders, Covid 19 Response Lottery Fund, MOPAC, ROSA, Mind In Enfield, Lloyds Bank Foundation & London Community Fund for supporting our work. We continue to be part of the fundraising consortiums to sustain our projects.

7

Promotion of Services

Our services are advertised through information disseminated in advance, by newsletter and leaflets and ethnic media. In addition to updating our Facebook page. These include updates on what is happening at Saheli.

Future plans

Due to limited resources and possible funding cuts, we continue to look into alternative sources of funding. We are part of consortiums to Apply & submit bids for funding.

We are actively recruiting trustees and volunteers to strengthen our management and administration.

Chief Executive & Staff Report

Enfield Saheli is a place that welcomes every woman whether she is in crisis or entering a new phase of her life or wants to develop her dreams. With our philosophy of providing nonjudgemental support and accurate information to empower women to make choices, we offer a range of services rooted in the realities and dreams of local women.

This year due to the COVID 19, has been challenging compared to last year, this is due to the way we have had to accommodate our services to work remotely and support our vulnerable women and girls going through a difficult phase of their lives. We have had to set up IT systems to work remotely and our staff trained to work online.

We created a What’s App group for members of Enfield Saheli for general Information. Through this we learnt that a number of our members who are isolated and lonely would like to have chit chats with other members. However, this affected other members sleep as the phones kept making noise.

Therefore, after discussing with members of the groups, it was agreed to create a Saheli Chit Chat group for women who would like to talk about anything and everything, whilst Enfield Saheli Group was only for the operational Side of Saheli.

In addition, a new group was created for staff & volunteers to communicate. This has helped the team in their effective communication

Demand to our services was very high due to lockdown and high demand from migrant University students being homeless and also not having any resources to survive. We managed to work with the Embassies and other organisations to support these migrant students with temporary accommodation and food parcels. In addition, we managed to organise culturally sensitive hot meals for our vulnerable service users.

We have reached out to our service users through welfare calls. We started our online activities from April 2020 to ensure that there are physical activities for all. We learnt that a number of vulnerable women did not have access to smart phones or even hesitancy in joining online as there were not used to online session.

We submitted funding application to the National Lottery for additional support and were delighted to receive funding from National Lottery in June 2020 to increase staff capacity and purchase smart phones/ notepads for our vulnerable women.

Our staff & volunteers have worked hard to ensure that we manage to train our service users on using the smart phones and join online sessions via Zoom.

The majority of the women accessing the services are from Enfield and surrounding boroughs. We have given short talks and presentations to create further awareness of our services and increase referrals.

The health services local general practitioners (GPs), Community Support and Recovery Teams (NHS, LBE, and the IAPT Teams) are working together to provide community services within Enfield. We are also working alongside these agencies in line with their long term strategic aims. We are providing that crucial community service in the most deprived areas of Enfield, such as Edmonton and to some of the most hard to reach and ethnic minority groups.

To improve the Wellbeing of women in Enfield we are working with the partners to enhance our Mental Health Support Service whose achievements are:

• Adults with mental health problems who feel alone and unsupported made their own network of support in preventive drop-in setting. Helped adults with mental health problems that are excluded from the communities in which they live.

This year for the mental health project there has been an increase in our counselling sessions and online activities response and we received referrals from our projects, general practitioners (GPs), IAPT and other agencies within the London Borough of Enfield, Barnet and Haringey which has resulted from the networking and partnership approach during the year. We have found it extremely useful providing Advice and Information in addition to mental health services which clearly benefit our clients ensuring that the right service is provided at the right time.

Counselling

Our Counselling Service continue to support Women & Girls through this difficult Time. Our funding through Section 75 ended in March 2020. MIND in Enfield has been allocated full funding from April 2020 for Section 75 to continue provide the service through community organisations. We have been running our counselling services successfully and have an ever-increasing waitlist; we have also recruited new volunteer counsellors from different backgrounds in order to meet the needs of our clients and the members in general. Saheli

10

Counselling session are provided on short term basis, where we offer a block of 8 and up to 12 sessions, there has been a number of clients where we have been able to offer longer term counselling.

These sessions are held every week for the women during daytime, evening and weekends to accommodate women who are working full time and cannot access the counselling service during working hours. We are fortunate to have multi lingual counsellors who can speak a variety of languages, so that we can ensure we are removing linguistic and cultural barriers and making the service accessible to vulnerable groups.

The nature of the work we do brings us in contact with a lot of women who go through mental health problems due to the domestic abuse, the type of clients we see for counselling can range from needing support and guidance with day to day life issues as well as more serious problems such as PTSD, depression, anxiety and personality disorders.

We have used mid-session and end of session evaluation form to monitor the effectiveness of therapy and the feedback we got form these evaluations have been very encouraging.

Since the beginning of the year, we have been able to offer well over a hundred counselling sessions to our clients.

Domestic abuse can have a massive negative effect on mental health. It is believed that abuse is often the main factor in the development of depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders, eating disorders, substance misuse, and may lead to sleep disturbances, self-harm, suicide and attempted suicide.

Drop-in

This provision of the service provides a therapeutic environment where the clients suffering from mental ill health can relax, socialise, make new friends and receive advice, support and assistance within an informal setting.

The drop-in acts as a preventative measure in dealing with isolation that can often lead to escalation of depression and other mental health problems and is a crucial support mechanism in the client’s life. The weekly drop-in is held on Fridays.

These group provides a safe place to support the women experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and domestic violence victims and also for any queries or problems that clients may have regarding employment, housing, health or education issues. The drop-in is attended on average by forty women each week.

The support provided at these regular meetings encourages women to build networks, to build their confidence/self esteem and to be able to live a more active and involved life. The women aging from 16-65+ are from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds including; Asian Arab, Bangladeshi, Black African, East African Asian, Indian, Iranian, Mauritian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan.

The Gentle online Exercise Class/yoga held from 10-11am on Fridays, has increased in numbers due to word of mouth publicity and has proved very popular. It has also helped women to learn new skills and regularly practice skills to maintain a healthy life style.

We have increased our online activities from one day a week to 5 days a week to meet the demand of our service users and also support women going through Loneliness & isolation

11

Reiki sessions and crystal healing is held twice a month, this helps our service users to gain spiritual power to help them to solve some physical, emotional and psychological problems of life and encourages their positive thinking.

Thanks to Surinder Kaur Bamotra for her volunteer time and continued support. We are grateful to our Natural Healer Patricia for supporting our service users.

Patricia is able to utilise a range of techniques and vibrations of energy to increase our service users` health, their wellbeing and the control they have over their life, whilst minimising dependence on the treatment or therapist. These treatments have helped to ease symptoms, support emotional release and aid recovery from illness or injury.

Through our service users evaluation, we have learnt that clients with more acute mental health and support needs benefited from a more therapeutic activity such as Arts & crafts session and board games.

Art &crafts including - knitting and sewing has often proved to be a stress alleviating and relaxing form of expression and therapy for those who have been through emotional distress or suffered traumatic life events.

These activities are used as a mechanism for expressing feelings in a positive and creative way. These techniques do inspire themselves and others, individuals can develop in their own self-esteem and confidence.

Our Online Art therapy has helped a lot of service users to develop additional skill of painting with water colours. Service User A said “I have always been interested in painting – but never had the time – but now I am finding is interesting and therapeutic. It is helping me to draw my painting in how I feel able to express myself and talk confidently with others”

Awareness monthly talks during the workshops raise awareness of different topics. Guest speakers from various agencies and organisations are invited once or twice a month to make presentations on key issues affecting the client group.

We encourage clients to participate actively by asking questions and receiving informal feedback after the talk. Many of these have had very good attendance and participation.

The talks conducted during the year were on the following topics; women health & nutrition, Enfield IAPT services, Alzheimer’s, Glaucoma, Stroke, Diabetes, Bowel cancer, Haemophilia, Ovarian cancer, Ambulance Service, Fall prevention, Energy saving, Knee Replacement, Cardiac Arrests, Knee replacements, Back Problems and health trainer.

Our services reflect our commitment to holistic approach to the healing of mind, body and spirit. Activities are provided by our specially trained multicultural staff and sessional workers.

We aim to empower women by offering them choices in their therapeutic activities, encouraging each woman to be self-nurturing, active and creative participant in her recovering and healing process.

To improve our services according to the needs of our users we always use service users evaluation forms to identifying their need and we change accordingly.

Agency Outreach and Home Visits

Some women are not able to leave their homes due to disability or a mental health problem. Apart from the practical difficulties that affect these clients, this situation can result in depression and deterioration in mental health with the potential for a serious situation developing. This project provides urgent outreach support when clients are identified, averaging 1-2 per week over the year. Outreach visits has resulted in preventing the clients from otherwise being hospitalised or isolated and also agency outreach help our service to introduce to the other organisations and aimed at getting new referrals.

Our work aims to help clients to strengthen their mental health so that they can participate more confidently in the community. Participation is entirely voluntary and very occasionally clients will reject our services.

Newsletters and Information leaflets

All our members are kept informed of any events taking place at Enfield Saheli, through information disseminated in advance, by newsletter and leaflets, seminars, conferences, future workshops, consultation, trips and presentations.

We also include the information regarding change in Government policies and council.

These include details about any change in the welfare benefit reforms, benefits cuts and changes in council & housing benefits etc.

Domestic Abuse Advocacy Service

Our Domestic Abuse Service mission is to serve the women in Enfield on domestic abuse issues including honour based violence, forced marriages, stalking, rape, and sexual abuse.

A huge part of our service involves supporting Domestic Abuse victims. This year we have supported 632 women including 102 women who have accessed our services for emergency support.

Enfield Saheli’s much needed Domestic Abuse Advocacy Services encompassed

13

In addition, we are working collaboratively with other organisations, ensuring to deliver optimal services to victims, ultimately promoting Enfield free of domestic violence.

Community Education

Domestic Abuse Advocate speaks regularly to community groups. Audiences include schools, children centres, hospitals, other organisations who are interested in learning about the dynamics and prevention of domestic violence. We were part of BAPS International Women’s Day to raise awareness of Domestic Abuse in March 2020. It was an online event and reached out to 38,000 people.

Focus Groups

Engaging with different communities, especially where reporting an abuse is still a huge stigma, also lack of faith and trust on many statutory services. Suffering in silence can cause massive health risks in the long run. Focus groups, where nearly 40 members became aware of such risks and how by adopting different strategies, these risks can be minimised even if the clients are willing to remain in the abusive relationship.

Well Being Support groups

Saheli Wellbeing support groups are a safe place to share, learn and grow. Many women are turning to support groups regularly, to find others that can relate with the difficulties of living with abuse. 11 self-help groups were being arranged, 33 clients were able to gain knowledge, improve self-confidence and enhance their self-esteem, enabling them to take responsibility of their and their children’s lives.

Workshops

Domestic Abuse workshops aim to prevent domestic abuse, teaching people the difference between a healthy relationship and an unhealthy one is the first step towards preventing domestic violence. Looking at prevention rather than a cure, we aimed to educate older and young people about the realities of a violent relationship. This covers everything from physical violence, to emotional abuse, name-calling and even coercive behaviour.

Summary

Enfield Saheli is a woman only space, providing a wide range of activities and support for the women using it. Our clients are at its Core, they inform both - what we offer and how we offer it.

Over the years the thousands of women who have used the services have told us what they want and for many that is someone to listen so that they can chat in confidence in an informal way, identifying their choices and finding out the information they need.

14

We want to ensure that we do not lose sight of what it might feel like for each individual woman to access our service. To try to achieve this, we have identified a number of Core values, which support our delivery, and which can be used to test what we are doing or planning to do.

Enfield Saheli is much respected for their excellent reputation that it has gained over the last 29 years in supporting women who have experienced Domestic Abuse or Mental Health issues.

Saheli plays a lead role at Domestic Abuse / Violence Against Women & Girls Strategy and Operational Groups in addition to Mental Health Partnership & Older People Partnership Boards

Moving Ahead

As always, we continue to create awareness of the issues around Mental Health and Domestic Abuse. We continue to review our services and ensure sustainability by applying for funding from the Council and other sources.

As an organisation, we will listen to and shape our services around the needs of our service users.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our funders, trustees, staff, volunteers and service users for all their support.
