Kairos Women Working Together is also known as Kairos (previously also known as Kairos WWT). Page 1 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Aims and Objectives At Kairos, our vision is of a world where every woman matters, and all women live free from sexual exploitation. Our mission is to support, advocate for, and empower marginalised women facing intersecting forms of disadvantage that make them subject to or at risk of sexual exploitation. We focus on increasing women's safety, stability, self-belief, and self-reliance through holistic, women-centred, open-ended emotional and practical 1-2-1 and group support, alongside individual advocacy. This approach enables women to build fulfilling lives free from men's violence, abuse, and sexual exploitation. Through our wider advocacy and influencing work, we use our specialist knowledge and expertise, alongside the voices of women with lived experience, to drive systemic change. The name "Kairos" is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning 'the right, critical, or opportune moment for action,. In mythology, Kairos was the god of opportunity. At Kairos, we meet women 'where they are., creating the conditions for them to take steps toward their goals when they are ready. We provide options and opportunities, helping women to achieve meaningful change in their lives. Established in 1999 by local women to reach those marginalised and vulnerable, particularly women involved in street-based prostitution in Coventry, Kairos has grown and evolved to meet the complex. changing needs of women facing multiple disadvantage. From a small volunteer-led project, we gained charitable status in 2002 and have gradually expanded into a specialist women's centre. Over the past few years, we have widened our reach, refined our approach, and responded to the unprecedented challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisi5, and a competitive funding environment. Our current services include street-based outreach, daytime and evening drop-ins, crisis intervention and harm reduction, facilitated and peer-led groups, intensive 1..1 support and advocacy, life skills, and therapeutic, wellbeing, and enrichment activities. We continue to be the service in Coventry that supports women who 'fall through the cracks, of mainstream 3rd sector and statutory services. As women- staff, volunteers, and those accessing support- we work together to build belonging, community, and change. Our Value8 Compassion We treat women with respect and humanity, valuing their unique experiences and holding space for them to be heard. Empowemient - We facilitate self4etermination, supporting women to build confidence, agency, and independence while maintaining professional boundaries. Justice We advocate for women whose voices are silenced or marginalised., challenging systems and policies to uphold rights and drive change. Our Approach Women-centred- Kairos is run by women, for women. Women supported by Kairos have been subjected to men's violence and all are impacted by trauma. They tell us that the presence of males could act as a significant barrier to their engagement. Therefore, we prioritise women through the provision of single-sex services and spaces in line with the EA2010. Each woman is at the centre of her journey, we are led by her, and we amplify the voices of the women we support in our wider advocacy and influencing work. Trauma Informed- We consider the effects of trauma in our interactions with women and in the design of our environment, approach, and services. We challenge the way in which women are blamed and often pathologised for their trauma. We focus on women's strengths and are non-victim blaming. We advocate for a trauma-informed approach at a local, regional, and national level. Page 2 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Hopeful- We believe in the potential of every woman and empower them to believe in themselves. We always hold hope for them, even when they might not want or feel ready for change. We will never give up on them. Our support enables them to reimagine their lives and we journey with them towards their goals. This is not to be confused with placing expectations on the women. they lead us and we journey alongside them. Collaborative- We listen to the voices of women with lived experience. They are actively involved in co4esigning their support plans and co-producing service provision. We regularly consult with the women we support, so that their voice is influential at all levels of organisational decision making and beyond. We encourage and provide opportunities for peer leadership. We work in partnership with other organisations and are always open to new opportunities for collaboration. Relational- We take time to build trusting relationships with women to maintain their ongoing engagement and optimise opportunities for empowerment. Our informal Style involves patience, persistence, and flexibility. We uphold high levels of confidentiality and work to deliver what we say we will. As a team of staff and volunteers we invest in our relationships with each other. Hollstlc- Every woman is treated as a unique individual, with specific needs and ambitions. Services are designed to be open ended and to enable women to address multiple issues in their lives, not just focus on one area, because their lives cannot be categorised into single issues. Outcomes Focused- We want our support to be transformational, therefore we ensure our approaches and processes are working towards helping women move beyond crisis to achieve life changing outcomes, which ultimately results in more women living fulfilled lives, free from sexual exploitation. Evidence Based- We are informed by best practice evidence of what works to achieve our aims. We collect data, monitor outcomes, and evaluate our services to feed into a cycle of continuous improvement and the development of organisational strategy. Reflectlve- We engage in reflective practice. intentionally taking time to consider how our values, biases, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs influence the decisions we make in the course of our work. Frontline staff participate in individual external clinical supervision and internal group reflective practice sessions. Volunteers are provided with opportunities for refleciive practice. Kairos is a place for learning and evolving. Page 3 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities Services All women accessing support beyond outreach and drop-in are allocated a primary Support & Advocacy Practitioner from one of our four main services. However, service provision is holistic and tailored to each woman's needs and can include wraparound support from staff and services across the organisation. Feeling Safe - supports girls and young women aged 16-25, many of whom have been subjected to childhood sexual exploitation or are at risk of further exploitalion. Aspire supports women over 25, including those involved in street-based prostitution or at risk of sexual exploitation due to multiple disadvantage. A Home of Her Own - supports women who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or living in unsafe accommodation.

We empower women to increase their safety, stability, self-belief, and self- reliance to build lives free from abuse and exploitation. In cases where the women have children, by extension their children also benefit from our service, Page 5 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Volunteer3 Kairos benefits from 20 committed volunteers who contribute to service delivery, fundraising, and community engagement. A dedicated Volunteer Manager oversees recruitment, training, support, and supervision, ensuring volunteers feel valued and equipped to contribute meaningfully. We are so very grateful to our volunteers for the contribution they make to Kairos and the women we support. During the next financial year, we plan to recruit and onboard significantly more volunteers as part of our strategy to meet increasing demands for our service. Long-Term Aims, Objectives, and Performance Measurement Guided by our 2022-2025 organisational strategy, Kairos is committed to achieving sustained transformational impact for women, underpinned by evidence-based practice, robust organisational systems, and a commitment to women's voices and lived experience.

Page 7 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRATEGIC REPORT Achievements and performance Charltable activities Between the period of 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, Kairos supported 330 unique women, an increase from the previous year of 340/0, significantly higher than the 12 % increase we saw the previous year%. Self-referrals through word of mouth from other women who have benefitted from our support make up the largest proportion of referrals,. with others coming from housing, Change Grow Live {drugs and alcohol service), prison and probation, midwifery and other health services, children's social care, and via the Coventry Women's Partnership (made up of FI￿, Coventry Haven Women's Aid, CRASAC, Central England Law Centre, and Kairos). Over the reporting period, referrals from local authority (statutory and commissioned) services increased, however we do not receive any local authorily funding. We believe the need is much greater in Coventry than we currently serve and that there are communities of marginalised women we are not yet reaching, for example, we know there are minoritised and ethnically diverse women subject to or at risk of sexual exploitation that we have yet to reach and engage. However. due to funding limitations we are unable to undertake assertive outreach to better understand the needs of these women. Throughout the year, women received holistic wraparound support across our services based on their individual needs. Due to the multiple, intersecting challenges the women were facing, typically with involvement in various external systems (housing, benefits, health, social care etc.), their support was often intensive in nature, For example, a single woman may have accessed support with basic needs during street-based evening outreach, attended our Women's Hub multiple times for crisis intervention, to disclose sexual violence, and eat, sleep, and shower with us, been supported to attend and engage in meetings with other services, participated in one of our semi-structured groups to address social isolation and build resilience and coping skills. and practiced self-care in our garden, all in one week. Simultaneously, in the background, our staff may have been seeking out expert advice, writing advocacy letters, liaising with staff from other organisations, completing safeguarding procedures, and contributing to multi-agency safety planning, all on behalf of the same woman in the same week. In our experience, this high level of interaction is needed to successfully engage women, overcome complex challenges, and, gradually over time, achieve transformational change. Our goal is to empower women so that, over time, they gain independence and a sense of stability in their lives and gradually become less in need of support. Throughout the reporting period we undertook a number of activities to reflect on and assess our success against our organisational and strategic aims. These included.. -weekly team check-ins -monthly support & supervision sessions be￿een staff and management -monthly group reflective practice sessions -monthly whole team meetings -rolling informal consultancy with the women we support -colleclion and analysis of feedback received -regular partnership meetings -regular review of data held on our database and outcomes measure tool to capture common themes -quarterly Board meetings -annual service and strategy reviev -quarterly, 6 monthly, and annual reporting back to individual funders on progress against agreed key performance indicators Kairos continued to use a CRM database system, Lamplight, to record day-to-day activities and work records throughout the reporting period. We also used the nationally recognised Triangle online Outcome Stars to monitor. review, and record progress and outcomes achieved with the women we support. We acknowledge that neither of these systems aided us in truly capturing the impact of our work, thus we plan to explore, adopt, and embed new ways to measure and demonstrate the difference we make to the women's lives in the coming financial year. The following overview highlights the number of women supported in each seNice area and the outcomes reported by the women we support.Please note that the same women may engage with multiple services. Page 8 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Feeling Safe: Our Feeling Safe service supported 75 young women 16-25 years old as they transitioned into adulthood (a 34% increase from the previous year). The previous year we lowered the age criteria to 16 based on recommendations from an external evaluation into the effectiveness of Feeling Safe. conducted by independent researchers from Nottingham Trent and Coventry Universities which highlighted a gap in transilional safeguarding for 16 and 17 year old girls as they 'aged out, of children's services. This is often a critical time as support they received from as children (up to the age of 18) drops away and they are at risk of becoming further isolated, and vulnerable. We know that perpetrators of sexual exploitation don't suddenly stop their abuse because the girl turns 18 and she as the victim does not suddenly become a 'consenting adult, no longer in need of support. We plan to continue to raise awareness of the unique needs of girls at risk of sexual exploitation as they transition into adulthood and strengthen referral pathways to ensure that fewer young women are falling through the cracks. The Feeling Safe service uses the Young Persons Star to monitor and record progress made. 77 % reported that they improved or maintained how they feel 780/0 reported that they improved or maintained their positive people and support ne￿￿OrkS 810/0 reported that their feeling of safety had improved or maintained 830/0 reported that they improved or maintained their practical life skills. As part of our Feeling Safe service we continued to facilitate a weekly empowerment group called Queen Bees where young women provided peer support, built their self-confidence, improved their wellbeing, and increased their understanding of their rights { for example their rights within a healthy relationship). The group was attended by 35 young women over the reporting year (up 450A) who reported an increase in coping skills, life skills, confidence, and feeling of community as a result of their involvement. They also reported that they knew more about their rights and had a clearer idea of their fulure goals. Some members of the group participated in our wider advocacy work themselves,. contributing to external consultations, research projects and training delivery Our 2024 Summer Programme, which offers young women the opportunity to try new experiences, build their confidence, meet other young women, and broaden their horizons to help them think about what they would like to achieve in the future, was attended by 15 young women. .This year, there was a focus on accessing affordable, low cost activities in the local community with the idea of encouraging the young womert to feel confident i n taking up activities that interest them in their own time. Asplre: Our Aspire seniice supported 184 women over 25 (a 340/0 increase) Some of the women were or had previously been actively involved in street-based prostitution andlor other forms of commercial sexual exploitation. They often accessed the service in crisis and some cycled in and out of support, which we recognise Is a natural part of change when facing multiple disadvantage. The women typically experienced the most harsh extremes of poverty (and they were often not in receipt of the benefits they were entitled to), complex physical and mental health challenges (but may not have been registered with a GP or in receipt of specialist medical support), homelessness (which is so often 'hidden' as differs from male homelessness), life controlling use of substances to cope with trauma, criminalisation (most often for non-violent. offences). and repeated victimisation in the form of robberies, assaults, kidnapping, hostage keeping, torture, financial abuse, blackmail, sexual assaults and rapes, coercive control and domestic abuse (though may not have been officially Considered a victim of this because her perpetrator may not have been a slereotypical intimate partner. Page 9 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 This service struggled to meet the demand for support due to the increasing complexity of need presented throughout the year. As with previous years we recognise da need to increase staffing capacity in this service so that more women can receive support that extends beyond crisis intervention and harm reduction, however this continued to present a challenge within the funding constraints of the reporting period. Tragically, women known to us through this service passed away during the reporting period, which we believe is linked to the inequalities they faced in their lives. One significant issue which continued this year and put women's lives at risk was the presence of synthetic opioids in the local community, which presents an increased risk of overdose. We addressed this by ensuring we communicated the risk and harm reduction measures to women, r working in close partnership working with CGL. the local commissioned drugs and alcohol service (including them being co-located on Wednesdays at our drop-in), and we continued to train women in the safe administration of Naloxone on others. For the Aspire Service we use the Empowerment Star to monitor outcomes. 64 % reported that they improved or maintained their money 70 % reported that they improved or maintained their legal issues 70 % reported that they improved or maintained their health and wellbeing 710/0 reported that they improved or maintained their empowerment and self-esteem. In addition to the Aspire service we continued to operate a weekly evening street-based Outreach and Drop-ln provision,- where staff and volunteers walk around the local so-called 'red light district, to meet women where they are at, distributing food, drinks and harm reduction materials. chatting to women and inviting them back to our session held later in the evening At our drop-in we offer hot food and drinks, harm reduction materials, clothes and a non-judgmental, listening ear. There is no obligation for women to access our wider support services, however this is most often where the women supported under Aspire first accessed wider support and self-refer in. Over 70 /0 of women met at this drop-in do eventually go on to access more in-depth support. It can take many months, if not years, to build up enough trust with a woman for her to feel ready and able lo receive ongoing support. During the reporting period, 92 women were supported via our Outreach and Drop-in provision (up by 260/0). Women reported to us that they valued safe, women-only space, that they could retreat to, where they wouldn't be judged or pressured for anything in return. A Home of Her Own: The A Home of Her Own service supported 56 (a 33¢￿ increase) women who were homeless or at risk of homelessness across 3 pathway as follows; Crisis.. supporting women who are homeless, rough sleeping, sofa surfing or using survival sex. There were 14 women supported through this pathway. Prevention.. supporting women at risk of homelessness, or eviction. There were 30 women supported through this pathway. Sustainment.. supporting women who have moved into their own tenancy, access grants, setting up utilities and settling in to Ihe local community. There were 12 women supported through this pathway. It should be noted that during this financial year there was a period where the Specialist Housing Practitioner role was vacant so we reached fewer women than anticipated through this provision. The A Home of Her Own Service uses the Tenancy Star.. 840/0 reported that they improved or maintained their health and wellbeing 84 % reported that they improved or maintained looking after their home 86Q/o reported that they improved or maintained their money and rent 890/0 reported that they improved or maintained their housing situation Page 10 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Women's Justice: Our Women's Justice Service, currently funded by the Ministry of Justice, supported 102 (18.60/0 increase) women in contact with the criminal justice system {CJS). Our intervention included us going into prisons, release planning, supporting women on the day of release and providing ongoing support in the community. We worked closely with prisons, probation, and other services. Most of the women's offences were directly related to poverty, homelessness, or addiction and were typically acquisitive and non-violent. We saw that criminal exploitstion of the women was also a contributing factor in some cases and this is often interlinked with coercive control and domestic abuse by male perpetrators. We aimed to address the criminogenic factors that contributed to women's offending, thereby reducing the risk of reoffending and the likelihood of women being repeatedly caught up in the revolving door of short term periods of imprisonment. Women's experiences of criminalisation intersects with being subject to or at risk of sexual exploitation, so we worked on increasing our voice and influence within the women's justice seclor. We actively contributed to the ongoing work of the National Women's Justice Coalition, alongside other Women's Centres and specialist services to influence government legislation and policy making to better address issues related to women caught up in the criminal Justice system. The Women's Justice service uses the Justice Star 520/0 reported that they improved or maintained their mental health and wellbeing skills 55Oh reported Ihat they improved or maintained managing strong feelings. 67Q/o reported that they Improved or maintained their living and selfcare skills. 640/0 reported that they Improved or maintained decreasing or abstaining from drugs and alcohol 710/0 reported that they improved or maintained leading a crime free life Wonder Women Wednesdays: Wonder Women Wednesdays (VMW) is our weekly daytime multi-agency support drop-in. During the reporting period 104 (39 % increase) women accessed support via WWW. Women came to the drop-in for 'everything and anything,. This Might have included a cup of tea on the sofa, a chat, lunch, use of a phone or laptop, clotheslfood donations, a shower, or a place to catch up on sleep. There is no expectation that the women who come to WWW must access wider services. WWW was well attended by a variety of partner organisations including Coventry Haven Women's Aid, Foleshill Women's Training,, Central England Law Centre, Change Grow Live (CGL-substsnce use), mental health, housing, and others. St. Margarel's Church often provided a wellbeing activity for the women. By adopting a relational approach to interacting with women at INWW sessions, external professionals often find they are able to extend specialist support to women in need who they wouldn'i ordinarily reach. If women made a disclosure of abuse, violence, or exploitation or asked for support regarding a variety of issues, the seplices were there and available to them. The women didn't need to fill in forms or wait for response but could speak to people that they might have already built a relationship with. VIWW created safer space in which moments that might transform a woman's experience could happen. For example, if woman decided she would like to be on a methadone 'script' (prescription) to start to address her use of heroin. she might have been contemplating the idea for months before she felt able to take action. In that time, she met and had conversations with the relevant CGL worker. They built up a relationship which then makes it easier for the woman to take that first step. The women who used the service reported that the drop-in felt like their space, a place where they feel comfortable and the know they will get the same consistent support from all the services in the partnership. Page11 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Blossoms: Our Blossoms group. delivered in partnership with a Specialist Midwife, supported 36 (a 710% increase) women who were pregnant andlor had babies. The majority of the women who attended this group had children's social care services involvement at either a Child In Need or Child Protection level. The women were supported to believe in their own capacity to be a nurturing and protective mums. At Blossoms there is a strong focus on maternal health and wellbeing. Many of the women benefiled from support from staff and each other regarding their fears and anxieties around social care involvement. Women were encouraged and supported to engage in care plans with the aim of improving outcomes for mum and baby. In some cases, the intervention helped prevent the baby from entering the care system, therefore reducing intergenerational èxperiences of the care system. The group also helped women manage their expectations in terms of possible child removal andlor to cope with the experience of having their child removed. Feedback From Women We Supported Our impact is life-changing and life-saving, a key element of our performance is inevitably the feedback we receive from the women we support.. This year women told us.. "l used to think asking for help made me weak. You've shown me it makes me brave." "I never believed I would find a space like this where I could be honest about my struggles without belng judged or dismissed. For most of my life, I've felt like people looked at me and only saw my mistakes, my addiction. the chaos of my life, the labels that have been put on me. But here I feel like I'm seen as a whole woman with potential. You give me time, choices, you give me respect. That means more than I can say. You've helped me open up about things I've kept hidden for so long because I thought no one would understand. You've helped me trust again in my own time. I'm starting to believe Ihat I deserve safety and love. I'm learning that healing isn't impossible., it just takes the right women to show you that il's possible," "Kairos has honestly been a lifeline for me, and I mean that. I came to you at a time when I had nothing left no food. no home, no kids, no hope. I was in a dangerous place, doing whatever I had to do just to survive. I was using heavily because it was the only way to numb everything I'd been through. I didn't think anyone could help me or even wanted to. But you didn't look at me with disgust, You treated me like a human from the very first day. You helped me get safe, you helped me get clean, and you helped me siart dealing with the trauma underneath everything. You've walked with me through the setbacks and the good days. You've fed me, clothed me, listened to me, and helped me access support that I was too overwhelmed or scared to get on my own. You didn't let me slip through the cracks, and because of that, I'm still here - and I'm finally starting to believe in a different kind of future." What makes Kairos different is that you don't give up on us. Even when we mess up, even when we disappear for a while, you welcome us back like it's nothing." "I feel stronger, more hopeful, and more connected to other women who understand what life is like for ladies like us. l actually look forward to the future now." "What makes Kairos different is that you don't give up on women like me. I've been in and out of services for years, and every time Ihings went wrong or I missed an appointment or I relapsed. I felt judged or pushed out. But here, you've welcomed me back. That kind of genuine care changes something inside you. It makes it feel possible to keep trying. You've helped me through so many situations that I would never have coped with on my own - housing crises, court dates, mental health dips, abusive relationships, everything. You make things that feel terrifying actually manageable because you stand beside me instead of lecturing me. I'm not alone anymore. I finally feel like I have a family of women in my corner who actually want to see me thrive, not just survive." Page 12 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRATEGIC REPORT Achievements and performance Fundraising activities Kairos continued to be funded primarily through grants, received from trusts and foundations, The National Lottery, the Ministry of Justice and the Police and Crime Commissioner. Thanks to funding received through ROSA, we were able to employ a dedicated Fundraising Manager, and increase our in-house and increase our capacity to apply for grants without using extemal consultants. The Fundraising Manager acts as a key senior leadership role and will work with the CEO to develop a Fundraising Strategy which will aim to diversify our income streams towards increased sustainability. Our annual Christmas fundraising campaign, which raises money towards us 'giving the gift of Christmas, to the women once again proved challenging, reflecting the hard times experienced by the local community during the unfavourable econombc climate.

Page 13 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRATEGIC REPORT Plans for Future Perlods During the 202412025 financial year we continued to make meaningful progress against our 2022-2025 organisational strategy, despite another year marked by severe pressures on women and on the services that support them. Demand for our trauma-informed, relational and holistic support increased yet again, driven by deepening poverty, escalating mental health crises, exploitation, men's violence, and the continued effects of long-term inequalities. The complexity and intensity of women's needs have remained exceptionally high. Against this backdrop, a core priority for us this year has been protecting the we15being, capacity and resilience of our staff and volunteers. who carry out profoundly skilled and emotionally demanding work. We strengthened our reflective culture, embedded more restorative and nurturing internal practices, and conlinued to stabilise our resourcing. Supporting our team to thrive remains central to our ability to deliver high-quality, women-centred support. Looking ahead, we remain focused on several key priorities that build on the foundation set out in our 2022-2025 strategy and prepare us for our next strategic phase. Securing Long-Term Premlses (Women's Hub) Securing permanent, fit-for-purpose premises for Kairos continues to be a top organisational priority. A dedicated, self-coniained space will enable us to fully realise our Women's Centre model and provide a trauma-informed, women-only space for women and a stable base for staff, volunteers, peer supporters and partners. We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing guidance of the Ethical Property Foundation (funded via the Lloyds Bank Foundation Enhance Programme) and for the support from local partners and community members who have championed our search since it began. As a small charity, the process remains resource-inlensive, but we are hopeful that a vlable premlse8 solutlon will be secured durlng the comlng year. strengthening Fundralsing and Financial Resilience In the next financial year, we will continue to maximise fundraising opportunities, introduce a small team of fundraising volunteers, and develop our fundraising strategy. The strategy will enable us to increase multi-year funding, diversify income, and expand. our community of supporters. Strengthening financial resilience is essential for delivering specialist support and responding flexibly to women's evolving needs. Improving Data, Learning and CRM Infrastructure We will continue our review of our data systems, exploring alternative CRM options to ensure we have a platform capable of capturing the depth and complexily of women's experiences, outcomes, and journeys. We plan to seek funding for system transition, data migration and training. This work is integral to our evidence-building. learning culture and our ability to influence systemic change. Policies, Procedures and Governance We will undertake a full review of our policies, procedures and HR frameworks to ensure they fully reflect our trauma-informed ethos. our commitments to anli-racism, equity and inclusion, and the realities of delivering highly specialist frontline work. Strengthening governance and operational clarity will support staff wellbeing, risk management and organisational growth. Organlsational Identity and Positioning In the year ahead we will develop our brand and communications to more clearly articulate.. the difference we make the lived realities of women we work alongside the systemic injustices we challenge Page 14 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRATEGIC REPORT our vision for a safer, more equitable future for women This includes strengthening our organisational voice on issues such as exploitation, criminalisation, poverty, men's violence against women and girls, and the structural barriers women face.. We aim to build a more confident, justice-led presence within local and national conversations. Strategic Planning for 2026-2031 During 2025126 we will undertake a comprehensive strategic planning process to develop our 2026-2031 organisational strategy. This will be informed by learning from the past three years, insights from women, staff and partners, our emerging Theory of Change, our organisational positioning work, and a clear-eyed analysis of the external environment, The new strategy will sel out our long-term direction, priorities and the next phase of development for the Kairos Women's Hub, specialist services, partnerships, lived experience leadership and systemic advocacy.

Page 16 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Partnerships Kairos continued to maintain and build many successful partnerships and alliances locally, regionally and nationally. These relationships have helped strengthen referral pathways, improved service delivery, and he outcomes we achieve, as well as benefiting staff well-being and development. In addition to providing frontline support services, Kairos is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the women we support and advocating for and influencing systems change. Therefore staff at all levels contribute to many mults'_agency meetings. forums, working groups, coalitions, and boards across various sectors that impact on the lives of disadvantaged and marginalised women subject to or at risk of sexual exploitation. Kair05 continued to be an active member of the Coventry Women's Partnership. funded by The Smallwood Trust, alongside Foleshill Women's Training IFWTI, Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (CRASAC), Coventry Haven Women's Aid (CHWA) and Central England Law Centre (CELC>. This partnership aims to Increase social and economic outcomes for women, helping them to easily access multiple services and move smoothly be￿een agencies. The partnership was evaluated by Renaisi, a social enterprise which conducts research into social and economic injustice to drive social change. The research explored the partnership's trauma-informed and women-centred approach and demonstrated the potential for the partnership to have greater influence as a collective voice representing the needs of the women collectively supported, an area for further development should we secure further sustainable funding to advance our work. Kairos advocated for Coventry to participate in the Women's Rough Sleeping Census, led by Solace and CGL, to ensure that vnrnen's homelessness is recognised as an issue distinct from men's homelessness and in need of dedicated strategy, policymaking, and funding. We were actively involved in a qualitative legal needs research study, a project be￿een the University of Wa￿iCk School of Law, the Central England Law Centre and Law for Life: The Foundation for Public Legal Education. The study focuses on the experiences of marginalised groups and the role of community organisations in supporting them to access civil and social justice. We continued to fund our partnership with Valley House, for women to have immediate access to person centred counselling. Women accessing counselling first have an initial meeting with the Counselling Coordinator before being matched with a counsellor. Women accessed counselling for 6 Months, and if there was availability, longer if needed. We continued to value links with local churches whose premises were hired for our services during the reporting year.. All Saints I St Margaret's Church St Mary's & St Benedict's RC Church Page 17 KAIROS WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Risk management In line with our Risk Management Policy, the Board reviewed major strategic, financial, and operational risks throughout the year, with the CEO regular escalating risks by exception to the Board as appropriate. The significant risks that Kairos faced during the reporting period included= Impact of the cost-of-living crisis.. The cost-of-living crisis continued to severely impact the women we support, sending them further in to poverty and at further risk of sexual exploitation. Qther services reported that they were at capacity and the women we supported were sometimes unable to get their needs met by other services. This meant an increased demand on our service. We saw more women through our evening outreach and drop-in. We experienced a further decrease in the number of donations we received of essential items such as toiletries or clothes from the general public and a significant fall in donations, such as towards our Christmas campaign. Yet more women were asking for essential items, particularly as other services such as local food banks announced that they were in crisis and had to limit their distribution. Staff Wellbeing.. Frontline staff work day in day out where the oppression of women through unjust systems and men's violence against women and girls is a huge element. this leads to the risk of secondary and vicarious trauma. The work is fast paced and, at times exhausting, triggering, and enraging This risk has been mitigated by ensuring that all staff receive managerial and clinical supervision on a Monthly basis, weekly paid staff 'wellbeing hour,, and an employee assistance programme (EAPI with access to additional counselling sessions. We have embedded a culture of supporting each other, reflecting on praciice, and prioritising self-care. Safegu8rding.' Kairos staff dealt with a high number of safeguarding issues and concerns on a regular basis. There was an increase in the number of referrals to and attendances at MARAC. To reduce the risks associated with safeguarding, we continued to have robust recording and reporting procedures. We continued with a weekly Safeguarding meeting between senior members of the team. All Trustees, staff, and volunteers keep training refreshed and we promote a culture of safeguarding. Kairos premises.. Kairos. ha5 been based at St. Margaret's church since 2020, however we have grown and the Church now have alternative plans for the space. Also, recurring heating issues put the charity at risk of not being able to carry out its aims or provide a safe working environment. We have been actively seeking suitable new premises since 2021, having made appeals to the local council, MPS, and the local community- We've been supported by property search consultancy from The Ethical Property Foundation thanks to funding from Lloyds Bank Foundation, have designated some reserves towards a move, and have received pledges from funders towards building refurbishments. The CEO, Head of Service Delivery and a subgroup of Trustees continue to search for a new home for Kairos.
