Introduction

Enfield Saheli is a specialist women’s organisation committed to supporting women, children, and families affected by domestic abuse, mental health challenges, and social isolation. We work with women from all communities, recognising that some groups may face additional barriers when seeking help.

Established to provide safe, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed support, Enfield Saheli places women’s voices, choices, and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Our services are designed to empower women to make informed decisions, rebuild confidence, and move towards safer, healthier, and more independent lives.

Our Vision

A society where women and children live free from abuse, fear, and inequality, and are able to thrive with dignity and independence.

Our Mission

To provide accessible, culturally appropriate, and holistic support to women and children experiencing domestic abuse and mental health challenges, enabling them to feel safe, heard, and empowered.

Who We Support

Our Approach

Our Reach

During 2024–25, Enfield Saheli delivered services across Enfield and surrounding boroughs, supporting women through one-to-one advocacy, group work, outreach, and partnershipbased interventions.

The Need in 2024–25

During the period April 2024 to March 2025, Enfield Saheli experienced a continued and growing demand for specialist support services for women and children affected by domestic abuse and poor mental wellbeing.

Rising Demand and Increasing Complexity:

Women seeking support during this year presented with multiple and intersecting needs. Alongside domestic abuse, many women experienced mental health challenges, housing insecurity, financial hardship, social isolation, and, in some cases, insecure immigration status. The complexity of cases has increased significantly, requiring longer-term and more intensive support.

The ongoing cost-of-living crisis has further exacerbated pressures on women and families. Many women reported increased financial control, economic abuse and heightened conflict within households, which in turn increased risks to their safety and wellbeing.

Barriers Faced by Women:

Women from diverse communities may face additional barriers when accessing support, including fear of stigma, language and communication challenges, limited awareness of rights and services, and concerns around immigration status.

Barriers Faced by Women from Diverse Communities

Women from Black, Asian and Minority communities continue to face additional barriers when accessing support, including:

These barriers often delay help-seeking, leaving women at greater risk by the time they reach specialist services.

Impact on Mental Health and Wellbeing:

Domestic abuse and prolonged stress have a significant impact on women’s mental health. Many women supported by Enfield Saheli reported symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. Children living in affected households are also impacted emotionally and psychologically.

Access to timely, trauma informed mental health and emotional support remains critical, particularly for women who may struggle to engage with mainstream services.

Pressure on Specialist Services:

While demand continues to rise, specialist women’s services operate within a challenging funding environment. Short-term funding, limited resources, and increased referrals from statutory agencies have placed pressure on capacity, making early intervention and sustained support more essential than ever.

5

Why Enfield Saheli’s Work Matters :

Enfield Saheli provides a vital, trusted, and accessible lifeline. Our culturally sensitive, women centered approach ensures that women feel safe to disclose abuse, access support, and begin their journey towards recovery and independence enabling women to disclose abuse, access support, and begin their journey towards recovery and independence.

Governance, Structure and Management

Enfield Saheli is 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 number 1129308. New Directors and Trustees are appointed by a resolution of the Directors passed at a meeting of the Directors.

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 18 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:

The Trustees constantly review risks relevant to the charity. Any risks identified are reported to the Trustees and decisions made on how to minimize 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 organization. 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 2024-2025, highlight its achievements, make a note of its shortcomings & give a future direction to such activities

It gives me great pleasure to present Enfield Saheli’s Annual Impact Report for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

This year has been one of both significant challenge and meaningful impact. The continued cost-of-living crisis, rising demand for domestic abuse and mental health support, and increasing complexity of cases have placed immense pressure on specialist services such as ours. Yet, throughout these challenges, Enfield Saheli has remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting women, children, and families experiencing some of the most difficult circumstances in their lives.

I am immensely proud of the resilience, professionalism, and compassion demonstrated by our staff and volunteers. Their dedication has ensured that women who turn to Enfield Saheli are met with dignity, cultural understanding, and trauma-informed support, helping them feel safer, less isolated, and more empowered to rebuild their lives.

This report highlights not only the scale of our work but also the depth of our impact. Behind every statistic is a woman or child whose voice has been heard, whose safety has been prioritised, and whose wellbeing has been strengthened. Our partnerships with statutory agencies, community organisations, and funders have been crucial in enabling this work, and I extend my sincere thanks to all who have supported Enfield Saheli during the year.

Future Plans for Saheli – As we look ahead to 2025–26, we remain committed to strengthening our services, addressing inequalities faced by women from diverse backgrounds, and advocating for sustainable funding to meet growing demand. With continued collaboration and support, Enfield Saheli will remain a vital lifeline for women and families in Enfield.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Enfield Saheli

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on pages 22 to 26.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants In England and Wales.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) to indicate that:

 where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)
