## **Crossroads Women** # **25 Wolsey Mews, Kentish Town, London NW5 2DX Tel: 020 7482 2496 Fax: 020 7267 7297** **contact@crossroadswomen.net www.crossroadswomen.net** ## **Report of activities January – December 2023** ## **ABOUT CROSSROADS WOMEN** ## **OBJECTIVES** Crossroads Women was formed in 2009 to renovate and run an expanded more accessible Crossroads Women’s Centre in Kentish Town, north-west London. The Women’s Centre has existed in different venues in the London Borough of Camden since 1976. We have been at 25 Wolsey Mews since April 2012. Through the Centre, women and their loved ones participate in self-help and peer support activities, volunteer, learn new skills, get support for community, cultural, educational, health, environmental or social projects, and access help and information about their rights including to escape racial and sexual violence. - Advance the education of the public by study and research into race and community relations (with particular reference to women) and by the publication of the results of such research for the benefit of the public; - Maintain and run a centre for use by women and women’s groups at which meetings, lectures, classes and other forms of recreation and leisure-time activities may take place; - Advance other charitable purposes, as the Trustees may from time to time decide. ## **TRUSTEES** Beneficiaries include single mothers, women with disabilities or health problems, asylum seekers, immigrant and refugee women, survivors of rape or other abuse, carers, students, grandmothers, pensioners, LBTQI, unemployed women, and low-waged workers. The Centre provides a base and meeting space for women’s and community groups. They remain: Cristel Amiss, Carolina Begue, Solveig Francis, Claire Glasman, Selma James, Sylvia Salley. ## **COST-OF-LIVING CRISIS** As the cost of food, fuel and rents continued to increase during this year, like many other organisations, we had to work hard to help women who are struggling the most, including women with disabilities and elderly women facing life threatening cold and/or lack of food. The toll of price inflation on top of the ongoing impact of the covid pandemic on disadvantaged women continued to mount in terms of physical and mental health. As with the years of austerity, the impact of this latest additional crisis falls heaviest on women, especially women of colour and single mothers – job losses, loss of public and health services, loss of income, applying for and surviving on Universal Credit; increased caring work for family, friends and local community, school closures, bearing the brunt of others’ anxieties, young and old; trying to maintain health whilst overstretched, trying to meet others’ care needs and make ends meet. **Amnesty International** consulted the Centre on poverty issues to develop its strategy on social and economic rights. An all-day workshop was held at the Centre in November where women in Amnesty heard from women with lived experience and how they organise around the issues in the selfhelp Centre-based organisations. ## **Access to self-help resources and information was vital** - We kept an up-to-date list of survival resources on our website covering a range of emergency help and advice, hardship grants, dealing with threats to cut energy supply, etc. - Self-help rights guides in relation to benefit claims, breastfeeding, rape/other violence, fuel poverty, the family courts, asylum/immigration can be downloaded, and were distributed at events. These are invaluable as it is ever harder to find advice and support, and the few independent advice services that remain are very over-subscribed and rarely available in person. - Referrals were made to local food-banks and food-box schemes, and we participated in information exchanges on how to grow fruit and vegetables at home, etc. - Our network of reliable pro bono professionals – legal people, doctors, psychotherapists, social workers, children’s guardians – were also available to help when needed. ## **PEER SUPPORT AND SELF-HELP** Our collective self-help and peer support approach helps reduce the fear, lack of control, despair and isolation which many feel in the face of care responsibilities, falling incomes and other stresses. Mothers and carers are relied on to get families through the hardest times. This is often socially invisible and taken for granted, but recognition and support from one’s peers are vital. Our in-house trained breastfeeding peer supporter supported several breastfeeding mothers in difficult situations. One was an asylum seeker placed in accommodation which did not provide a suitable diet for a breastfeeding mother or her child who was being weaned. Another young mother who had lost her first baby when she was in prison due to lack of help, was at risk of losing her second child to care. With the support of the Centre mother and child are thriving. We were invited by **WBTi UK (World Breastfeeding Trends Initiative)** to make a submission on the status of breastfeeding in the UK based on our experience working with women in the “informal” sector, that is those outside of formal employment, which includes women in insecure and zero-hour contracts such as domestic workers, cleaners, carers, catering industry workers, couriers, self-employed women and women on benefits. ## **SELF-HELP GROUPS** ## **Asylum Seekers and Refugees** The All African Women’s Group of asylumseeking women have resumed in person meetings and casework sessions. They offer each other mutual support and advice, assist with summarising cases, prepare for appeals and look out for those facing particular difficulty with soaring food costs and accessing survival resources. ## **Mothers’ Group – Support not Separation** This group met monthly throughout the year both in person and online, and continued to be a vital source of support to mothers involved in family court proceedings and meetings with social workers, some of which still take place online post pandemic. Mothers and grandmothers who face unwarranted separation from their children/grandchildren exchanged experiences, advice, support and encouragement. ## **Women with disabilities** WinVisible (WV) -- women with visible and invisible disabilities group held weekly selfhelp sessions on zoom and in person, providing vital support for disabled women. In July the centre hosted the Launch of the Disabled Mothers’ Rights Charter, reported in the Camden New Journal on 27 July. Channel 5 interviewed disabled mothers at the Centre for a documentary which won an award. ## **Survivors of rape and domestic abuse** Women Against Rape’s helpline, run by survivors and family members, provided a listening ear, talked women through the options including for historic abuse and dealt with emergencies such as finding last minute accommodation for a mother and child forced onto the street by her partner’s violence. ## **COMMUNITY EVENTS & INITIATIVES** On **International Women’s Day** volunteers attended events around the city. We were invited to hold a stall at the local swimming pool and gym. It proved very popular, with many women coming to chat and catch-up, and get information and purchase tote-bags, T-shirts, books and badges. Other stalls were held at the **Camden Health Event** in Gospel Oak (April), and **Highgate Festival** (May), an ecology-focused event. We again took to Kentish Town High Road with Centre information and the _What Do Mothers and Carers Want?_ Survey. In February we launched our **Growing Together** project to upgrade our courtyard into a green peaceful space. In June local mothers and people with disabilities including Centre volunteers came together to call for the local tube station at Kentish Town to be made step-free. It will be closed for 12 months for renovations, but with no plan to install a lift. _All Work and No Pay,_ featuring interviews with women users of our first Centre in Drummond Street in 1976 had a good year! The film was shown over January to March 2023 at the 40[th] Anniversary events of the BBC Open Door series (1973 – 1983). It featured again on a continual loop at TATE Britain’s exhibition “Women in Revolt!” opened in November, celebrating the women’s movement in the UK during the 70s and 80s. We collaborate with a range of community groups: Food for All, Fuel Poverty Action, Camden Law Centre, Camden Association of Street Properties, Camden Carers, Disability in Camden (DISC), Elfrida Rathbone Camden, Granville Community Kitchen, as well as local schools, nurseries, mums’ groups and the local library. Groups also use the Centre to meet such as Ladies of the Lock (Women’s Institute). ## **ACTION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT** As members of Camden Climate Change Alliance, we calculate our annual carbon footprint contributing to borough wide estimate. Since installing additional solar panels in 1922 with a grant from Camden Council, our panels supply about half our electricity needs – for free, helping us withstand increasing energy prices. We subscribed to the Energy Redress Fund Fuel Voucher scheme to support struggling low-income households on pre-payment meters. In February we hosted an Illuminating workshop, _Climate Recovery and Resilience Through Land Management: How Nature Regulates the Climate and How We Can Help,_ with Didi Pershouse (below), author, educator, and “soil sponge” strategist. In July Solveig Francis from the Centre, gave a talk at Swiss Cottage Library as part of its **South Asia Festival** on her fact-finding visit to Andhra Pradesh to meet women farmers organising in their communities to convert from chemical to natural farming. Women “champion farmers” are taking the lead to train other farmers to regenerate the soil. Results are remarkable – healthier food and healthier people especially children, higher yields and incomes, less water use, improved bio-diversity. These methods cool the earth and shown to be crucial to reversing global warming. Many local people attended, and are reviewing their own gardening practices, inspired by this information. Camden New Journal featured the event. ## **INTERNATIONAL VISITORS** Our guests included women from Women For Better Healthy Life in Kurdistan, who are running a Women’s Health and Community Centre wanting to draw on our experience; Folkets Husby (The People’s House) from Sweden who wanted to learn from us as a collective organisation that resembles theirs; and Colombian mothers on tour in Europe, fighting for justice and compensation after their children have been press ganged into the military, and are then disappeared. ## **ASYLUM CHRISTMAS APPEAL** This fundraising is focussed on those with no or very little income such as asylum seekers and immigrant women with “no recourse to public funds”. We were able to provide a one-off bonus to 35 women and their children over the holiday period. We referred 45 destitute and low-income women and children who participate in the Centre’s collective self-help services to receive food hampers, containing everything to make a delicious Christmas dinner. The food for the hampers was donated by Carmel Charity Foundation, founded by a fashion supplier company based in Kentish Town. The London Basket Brigade made t he hampers up and delivered them to women’s homes, mostly asylum seekers, on 23 December. Our generous friends at Food For All donated 40 children’s presents, all wrapped up and ready for Christmas. ## **THANK YOU** We greatly appreciate the financial support of Camden Giving, Persula Foundation, Rock ‘n Roll Rescue, Roughley Trust (AW60 Fund), ACTS, our local Co-op, and generous regular donors. Our deepest thanks to everyone who contributed this year: our stalwart volunteers, women and men, who are the backbone of our Centre; local organisations who fundraised for us; friends and supporters in the local community and beyond whose warm words and deeds encourage us daily; the technical support people who hosted webinars, provide training in zoom and other social media; complementary health practitioners who provided free or low-cost healing therapies; and local journalists always ready to report on our activities. ______________________________________________________________________________ Registered charity no. 1134495 Company limited by guarantee no. 7087291_ Charity number.. 1134495 Company number.. 07087291 (England and Wales) CROSSROADS WOMEN Report of the Trustees and Unaudited Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2023 CROSSROADS WOMEN Contents Page For the year ended 31 December 2023 Report of the Trustees 1ThI8pendenl Exarnille¢s Report to Ihe Trustees statement ol Finan¢ial Activities Statement of Financial Positson Notes io the Financi81 Ststement8 5t0 11 Detailed S18tementof Financlal Activilies 12to14 CROSSROADS WOMEN Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2023 Th6 TruBtees, who ar8 HIBO direclors for the purposes of company law, have ple8sure in presenllng thelr r&port and Iha ffn¥n¢l$l strtem￿t$ for the ¢harfl8ble company fot the year ended 31 Decernber 2023.
