West Wales Domestic Abuse Service Ltd Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 Mareb 2025 Empowering - We empower our service users to become stronger, more confident and aware of their rights, privileges and responsibilities, enabling them to live a more meaning1 and fulfilling life. Ree0rnntMent of purpose: WWDAS believes that a world without domestic abuse and sexual violence is one to aspire to. We believe that all women, children and men who a victims of abuse and violence should receive person-led and trauma-infOrnd services. We support and advocate for women and men and their children who are abused by someone with whom they have a close and inlimate relationship. This includ&q same sex relationships. We also support survivors who are abused by other family members (including sons and daughters). WWDAS is undery)im]ed by fundamental feminist values, wl)i¢h for us means being anti-ra¢ist and inclusive iti all that we do. We recognize that while domestic abuse can be experienced by a range of people, it is gendered and most frequently perpetrated against women by male adults. WWDAS is a women-led organisation and recognises the irnportance of being led by women for women. We strive to work with men and young boys to showcase that there are men who support an end to domestic and sexual violen¢e and are nonviolent. Our aim is to Collaboratively address misogyny and gendered power imbalances in our communities. WWDAS is aware that perpetrators require support to help them Ghange their abusive behaviour, although this is not a service that WWDAS cUentlY provides. We are committed to rnising awaren¢ss throughout the commutiity of how to recognise and respond safely to peetrator behaviour. Sl nlficant Actlvities Crfisls Aecommod74tion We have PUTpose-built refuges in Ceredigion for women and their ¢hildren. The accommodation comprises two purpose-built shared facilities. We have an accessible dispersed refuge to support those with disabilities. In addition, we have a dispersed rege unit for men and their children. We help all to plan their futures and focus on developing their confidence and independence and plan their futures and focus on developing their approach to healthy non-abusive relationships. Communi Floating support We offer an outreach service to women and men. This is a free, confJdentia] service throughout Ceredigion to anybody experiencing domestic abuse Tegardless of their age, race* gender, sexual orientation or financial circumstances. This service supports individuals to feel safe in their homes, enjoy better wellbeing) feel more confident and work towards independence. Our flexible service addresses th¢ long-terni effects of domestic abuse and helps survivors to develop skills to assist in the prevention of abuse. This service works with survivors aged 16-55years througb one-to-one support sessions. Older peoples, support Our specialist OWLS support is delivered on a one-to-one basis to women and men aged 55 and above. This project also offers group work where clients past and present Can meet with fellow survivors to tske part in interdctive wellbeing activities such as mindfulness, beach sculptures, rock painting and woodland pi¢ni¢8. The group sessions tackle the effects of domestic abuse and work towards personal safety and independence for older men and women. Peer Support Groups When women have received one-to-one support, they often want to do something that is not connected to the abuse they have been subjected to. We therefore tun a peer support group that offers a range of activities. This year the peer support group has been working on the development of a ¢ommunity garden at the Cardigan office. In the North, the group has explored creative writing and mindful walking. The aim of these groups is to Teduce social isolation and to facililate peer support for the group members. Page 3

West Wales Domestic Abuse SenTiee Ltd Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 Mareh 2025 STRATEGIC REPORT Flnancial review Finaneiil position The trustees continue in their efforts to ensure the security of our current assets and to use appropriate deposit accounts to maximise interest earned. The prAncipal source of fiinding is the Housing Support Grant (HSG) whi¢h fijnds the delivery of services supporting women in refuge, men in our safe houses and men and women in the con)mUllity through Floating Support. Rental income received pays to nwintain and refurbish the a¢¢ommodation. Donations Donations received total £7,403 from individual donations, small local organisations and events. Investment pollcy and objectives The Board of Tntstees have the power to invest in such assets, as they see fiL any monies not inunediately required for the fLtherance of its objects. Reserves poliey The Charity understands the need to maintaxn reserves levels to enabl¢ it to meet CUTTent and future requirements. These reserves are required to cover services should a futtjre reduction in funding be encounfrred. WWDAS trusiees have recently conducted a review of the reserves policy to ensure that current needs are met for all ¢ontracthal obligations and that cash flow is provided to minimise risk to the organisation and a contingency is allowed to ensure that services lo vulnerable individuals and cbildren are not affected by flu¢tuatÉons in funding. The Tmstees have set the level of reserves required as 6 months nmning costs plus redundancy costs, plus funds to complete any administration required in case of closure of the organisation. West Wales Domestic Abuse Services aims to have reserves at a level which would ensure that the core organisational tivity Could continue during a peTiod of unforeseen difficulty. This is currendy estimated to range between £520,000 and £600,580. As there were excess reserves this year, the trustees are looking at ways to enhance the service provision. Total reserves to 3 1st March 2025 were £2,115,869, of which £1,639,21 l are unrestrictsd free reseTves, therefore the charity considers the current level of reserves to be sufficient for its level of expenditure. The Trnstees also acknowledge the need to regularly monitor available reserves to ensure that they are sufficient to enable the Clwity to continue to provide its services and support. ExpendlturelFundlng The main areas of expenditure for the organisation are for staff salaries and direct project ¢osts' for expenses associated with buildings and maintenance of the crisis accommodation and management and governance costs. Going CODcern No matters have arisen regarding the going concern status of the charity and the financial statements have been prepared with a view that activities will ¢ontinu¢ for the next twelve months.
