The Trustees present their statutory report together with the financial statements of Woman’s Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011 and constitutes a directors’ report for the purposes of company legislation. 

Woman’s Trust is constituted as a charity registered for charitable purposes with the Charity Commission (Charity Registration Number 1143513) and a company limited by guarantee (Company Registration Number 06886781). 



Chair's & CEO'S foreword
Last year we reported on the impact of the Covid pandemic and first lockdowns on our
services, our Glients and our staff and volunteers. 2021 was another challenging year as the
pandemic continued. Our staff and volunteers continued to work from home, providing vital
support to our clients as the effects of domestic abuse and isolation took their toll. We want
to pay tribute to the resilience and dedication of our staff.
Overall, we provided over 6,700 sessions for clients.. 800 initial assessrnents, 5,500
counselling sessions, 312 support group sessions and 37 workshops. Although the number
of women referred to us dropped slightly, we provided more women with more services. In
total we supported 838 women during the year. The need for our services continued, and
continues, to far exceed our funding. Our vision is to help many more women and we will
work tirelessly to achieve that.
We want to thank all our funders and fundraisers. Remarkably, donations increased by over
400/0 and thanks to their generous support our income exceeded 1 million pounds for the first
time ever.
Woman's Trust has been, and is being, affected by the current economic conditions. The low
rate of unemployment has made il more difficult for us to recruit staff and has driven up wage
costs. The increases in irbflation we are all experiencing will also lead to higher costs. We are
continuing to invest in our fundraising efforts to bridge these gaps and - most importantly for
us - to inGrease the number of women we can support year-on-year
In 2021 we joined a number of successful partnership and consortium funding bids so that
we will be able to increase the number of women we can help in 2022. These are the Ascent
partnership fLsnded by London Councils, the London Whole Housing servi￿ Partnership
(LWHSP) and Pan London Floating Support Service (PLFSS) which are both funded through
the Greater London Authority's Safer Accommodation funding. We are also part of the Maia
& Lift project funded by the Mayor's London Violence Reduction Unit (LVRUI which focusses
on work with young women. We have secured new funding to expand our main services into
4 new London Boroughs. making our support available in areas where there was none.
We end the year with a positive outlook. The new Domestic Abuse Act is coming into force
and recognises the need for therapeutic menlal health support for victims and survivors. The
new Domèstic Abuse Commissioner is supporling our efforts lo get our voice heard across
local and national government. During the year we provided evidence to the govemment
consullalion on mental health and wellbeing, the London Police and Crime Committee, and
the All-Paty Parliamentary Group on Domestic Abuse. We know we make a huge difference
to the women who access our services.
We end this message with one from a Glient
"It is an amazing support. As a woman experiencing domestic abuse we often feel alon&,
isolated and scared. It is very difficult to tnjst people, as our safety Gan be affected. With
Woman's Trust I felt safe talking about what had happened, and they helped m8 understand
more about the abuse. It helped build a brighter future for me arld my child"

## _**Trustee Report**_ 

## _**Our Vision**_ 

A world where women have the resources to prevent domestic abuse damaging their futures. 

## _**Our Mission**_ 

To help any woman in London affected by domestic abuse to overcome the mental and emotional harm and rebuild her life, by providing women-only, client-led counselling and support services. 

## **Charitable object** 

Woman’s Trust’s charitable object is: 

To relieve women and children who are being, or have been, affected by domestic abuse, through the provision of a counselling and support service. 

## **Woman’s Trust is special because we** : 

-  offer specialist ‘person-centred’ counselling and therapeutic services, informed by an understanding of the long-term mental health and emotional impacts of domestic abuse 

-  Through a trauma informed approach enable women to make their own choices and decisions, in their own way, in overcoming the risk and damage caused by domestic abuse 

-  provide accessible services regardless of race, religion, class, or culture; and 

-  are expert in understanding the dynamics of domestic violence and abuse and its effects on women’s lives and that of their children. 

Woman’s Trust is a women-only organisation. It is led by members of the community it was developed to serve: women who live or work in London. 

## **Overall aims and outcomes** 

Domestic abuse has affected or will affect one in four women in the UK. The psychological and emotional consequences of abuse, if left unaddressed, can last a lifetime for the woman and her children. The primary aim of our service is to enable women to rebuild their lives. 

## **The services that we provide** 

We aim to tackle the emotional and psychological damage caused by abuse, by providing appropriate mental health services: specialist person-centred one-to-one counselling and therapeutic support groups (both BACP accredited services), self-development workshops,. We also provide webinar resources for anyone experiencing domestic abuse.

The overall number of referrals for the year was slightly lower than 2020/21 (673). During this year, we could not accept any new referrals during periods of time while we offered our services to clients who had been waiting for face-to-face services and that caused a drop in the number of referrals we received. However, the number of sessions provided and clients in services did increase.

## **Services provided** 

We enable women to overcome the trauma of domestic abuse by providing a range of services to cater for the different needs of our clients. 

**Referrals by Service** 2021/2022 

Counselling gives the client an opportunity to work with a trained counsellor. 

Workshops are psycho-educational, providing women with information and tools to help them understand their experiences and improve the management of their well-being. 

Support Groups provide an invaluable opportunity for women to share their experiences and reduce their isolation. Pre-recorded psycho-educational sessions that can be accessed direct from our website provide an on-going resource for any women needing help.

There were 472 women that accessed counselling, 121 women attended support group sessions; 172 women attended workshop sessions and 39 accessed webinar sessions. 

Only women who had undertaken an assessment were able to access our workshops, which meant fewer women overall, but we developed on-line webinar sessions which proved to be popular with clients who could not commit to fixed-time sessions. 

A survey of clients found that many women would continue to use remote counselling even after services return to in-person offering. Woman’s Trust was a lifeline to many.

## **Outcomes** 

Woman’s Trust uses two main evaluation systems to measure the efficacy of our services: Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (CORE) for counselling; and Woman’s Trust’s own entrance and exit questionnaires (EQ) for all our services. These measures help us see the positive difference we make to women’s lives.

## **Client testimonials** 

_When I came to Woman’s Trust (WT) back in the beginning of 2020, I was very fragile, and I needed a lot of support and guidance. I have done support groups, workshops and webinars, got legal help, and I have done 1:1 counselling with WT._ 

_Without these services I wouldn’t be in the position I am now. I feel my healing has been sped up because of the support I have received. Without the support of WT, I would be struggling at lot more to heal. My situation was very complex and difficult, and I have seen the difference in how all these services have helped me within WT._ 

_I believe that women need access to vital services such as WT, otherwise we’re just left alone with dangerous people and feelings of hopelessness._ 

_Some people turn to drugs and alcohol which is very easy to fall into, it can also lead to a spiral of violence between perpetrators and survivors, often leading to fatal outcomes._ _**March 2022**_

**Woman’s Trust Trustees’ Report Year** to 31[st] March 2022 



_I'm still recovering from domestic abuse, four years after leaving my husband, and I'm still learning how to cope with post-separation control. The workshops and counselling from Woman's Trust services have been very helpful for me and have improved my resilience and the way I think about the situation I am now in._

## **Client testimonials** 

_“I was first referred to Woman's Trust in early 2020 and attended 1 in person Group Session. As the lockdown started, I began to attend online Workshops and Webinars. I have just completed my first 8-week support group which has been an amazing experience. I have gained a greater awareness of domestic abuse and the services I have accessed have helped my healing journey. I feel that the work should be supported because without these services I would not have been able to heal or gain peace in my situation. I had a yearlong battle in court with my abuser and the way I process things and face challenges is completely different due to the help i have received from Woman's Trust. Thank you so much and I look forward to the next group session.”_ 

_**December 2021**_ 

_“A valuable for resource for women going through different stages of DV. From the beginning red flags, to the crisis and the aftermath effects when the relationship has ended”_

## _**Organisational structure**_ 

Woman’s Trust’s ultimate decision-making body is its Trustees, working collectively as a Board. The Trustees are the Directors of the company. 

Day-to-day management of Woman’s Trust is delegated to an employed Chief Executive, who is in turn responsible for delegating work to staff and volunteers. 

## _**Executive and administrative Staff**_ 

Woman’s Trust maintains a small core staff, recruited for specific skills and experience. 

All our staff are women, dedicated to the ethos of Woman’s Trust and determined to provide women in London with the service they so desperately need. 

## _**Therapeutic Staff**_ 

Woman’s Trust Counsellors are a mixture of fully qualified employed and sessional counsellors, plus volunteer counsellors some of whom are still undertaking their training. We reported last year in our strategy to increase the number of employed counsellors: we have increased recruitment from our newly qualified volunteers, our sessional counsellors and direct recruitment. By the end of the year, we had 15 employed counsellors. 

## _**Office Volunteers**_ 

Prior to the pandemic, Woman’s Trust staffing was enhanced by many dedicated volunteers. Due to the many months of government required closures and without sufficient ventilation to be Covid-safe, our offices remained closed for the whole year. 

## _**Trustee Recruitment, Induction and Training**_ 

The Board conducts a periodic skills audit. Board vacancies are advertised according to identified gaps. Candidates are interviewed by the Chair and one other Board member and, once shortlisted, invited to observe at least one Board meeting before appointment by the Board. 

On appointment each Trustee is given a welcome pack which includes information about Woman’s Trust services, the annual financial statements, job descriptions, roles and responsibilities of Trustees, the constitution, and the strategic plan. 

Trustees are given an induction to the work of the service at the charity’s office, spending time with members of staff who introduce the work to them. The charity provides opportunities for Trustees to attend internal specialised domestic abuse training and external training, including governance and charity finance. 

13 

**Woman’s Trust Trustees’ Report Year** to 31[st] March 2022 



## _**Risk Management**_ 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed in line with the risk management policy. The policy involves an annual risk analysis which forms part of the charity’s strategic planning process and the individual risk assessments of proposed new projects or developments. Annual monitoring is supplemented by update reports throughout the financial year. Where major risks are identified, the Trustees will take the appropriate action to ensure that these are mitigated. Major risks are identified below. 

|**Risk Identified**|**Mitigation response**|
|---|---|
|Reliance on Trust and<br>foundation<br>income<br>because public sector<br>policy<br>makers<br>and<br>commissioners do not<br>appreciate the mental<br>health<br>impacts<br>of<br>domestic abuse.<br>Increased<br>competition<br>for funding|We have increased investment in fundraising to further<br>diversify our funding streams so we can plan longer-term;<br>We maintain logs of all funding streams so that we know<br>exactly when a funding stream ends;<br>We closely monitor the bidding process timetables, so bids<br>to renew funds or obtain new funding are made well in<br>advance;<br>We build our annual budget based on secured funding and<br>the identified funding gap which becomes our fundraising<br>target for the year; and<br>We maintain contingency plans to make any necessary<br>service changes.|

**Woman’s Trust Trustees’ Report Year** to 31[st] March 2022 



## **Statement of financial activities** 

## _**Financial position**_ 

-  We met our fundraising target for the year 

-  We continued to improve the efficiency of our counselling service by using more employed counsellors. 

-  We continued to invest in new technology to enable remote working by all our staff 

-  We introduced a new IT system for Human Resources to improve the efficiency of our administration 

-  We increased our free reserves to maintain the sustainability of Woman's Trust at the new (higher) expenditure and activity levels. 

## **Income** 

Woman’s Trust received £1,016,213 in total income in the year to March 2022. Unrestricted income of £512,612 made up more than half of Woman’s Trust total income. Of that sum, unrestricted donations and gifts increased from £80,000 to £114,230. Restricted income totalled £503,601, of which £110,438 was donations and gifts.

Woman's Trust - Sources of Income<br>2021/2022<br>£224,730  Grants and Project funding<br>Donated counselling services<br>£61,020<br>Gifts and Donations<br>£730,463<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Owing to the continued pandemic, we did not need donated counselling rooms as services were delivered online or by telephone. Donated counselling services further reduced from £87,450 to £61,020 as we took on more employed counsellors in the year and reduced the number of sessions provided by volunteers. 

## **Expenditure** 

In the year to March 2022, expenditure came to about £933,562 an increase of 22% on last year. As specific Covid-related grants came to an end, we increased the number of staff devoted to raising funds to grow our sources of income. Service provision costs increased by 

15 

**Woman’s Trust Trustees’ Report Year** to 31[st] March 2022 



over £100,000. The labour market tightened in the year and it was necessary to use specialist agencies and some agency staff during the year, increasing staffing expenditure. 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Woman's Trust  - Expenditure Breakdown<br>2021/2022<br>£14,725<br>£114,765<br>Raising funds<br>£186,948<br>Premises costs<br>Service provision<br>£617,124  Staff, Office and Governance costs<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


We expect to increase our counselling service provision in 2022 and costs are also likely to rise as we resume some face-to-face counselling and support. Expenditure on premises is likely to increase if we secure new premises and the labour market continues to be challenging as well as put upward pressure on salary rates. 

## **Financial position at the end of the year** 

The cash position at the end of the year was £649,193, an increase of £82,651 or 15%. Restricted funds carried forward were £157,009, reflecting the fact that project funding is rarely aligned with financial years. The unrestricted funds stood at £492,182 at the end of the year, and this similarly includes designated funds of £40,000 set aside to cover project and £145,667 core funds carried forward. This leaves reserve funds of £306,515, an increase of £50,804 over last year. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees review the reserves policy annually and the calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation's planning and budgeting. It takes account of the risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted, the organisation’s commitments and the planned activity level. 

The reserves policy requires free reserves (i.e., unrestricted funds excluding designated and Assets) to be maintained at a level which ensures that the organisation's core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty such as: 

16 

**Woman’s Trust Trustees’ Report Year** to 31[st] March 2022 



-  a funding gap, possibly whilst waiting for the result of an application; 

-  funding short term deficits in a cash budget, when paid in arrears; 

-  covering unforeseen day-to-day operational costs, such as paying temporary staff in the absence of permanent staff; 

-  covering unforeseen emergency costs. 

The Trustees believe that it is prudent for the financial reserve to be at least three months’ running costs to meet the above obligations. Our medium-term objective is to move to a 6 months’ reserve policy. We increased our reserves in 2021/22 in line with our increased core costs, and plan to continue this in 2022/23. At planned levels of expenditure, the target level of free reserves for 2022/23 is £306,515. 

## **Going concern** 

Though some special Covid funding came to an end, the investment we made in partnership working has produced several new strands of multi-year funding starting in April 2022, most notably through: 

- `♦` the London Violence Against Women and Girls (LVAWG) consortium securing funding from London Councils and the GLA 

- `♦` The Angelou partnership securing funding from the tri-borough (VAWG) contract and the London Violence Reduction Unit. 

The net effect is that, whilst we still have a budget gap to fill, we believe our position is secure enough to give assurance that Woman’s Trust remains a going concern for the following reasons: 

-  budget and cash flow forecasts prepared show that Woman’s Trust has sufficient funds to meet its obligations for the next nine months and we have a fundraising plan, and fundraising resource, in place to raise funding beyond that time; and 

-  management information systems enable timely decision making. 

## **Fundraising Practices** 

Woman’s Trust complies with the Fundraising Code of Practice and is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. Woman’s Trust does not use any professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds on our behalf. No complaints have been received about our fundraising activities. The majority of our fundraising activity is applications to charitable trusts and foundations, and to statutory funders such as the NHS, Local Authorities and central government. We plan to increase our income from donations by community fundraising and building relationships with corporate and individual donors. Donations received as a result of active fundraising are dedicated to the purpose for which they were raised for.

**Woman’s Trust Trustees’ Report Year** to 31[st] March 2022 



## **Future plans** 

Our medium-term goals remain: 

-  To continue to deliver high quality trauma informed services and play a significant role in the London-wide provision and improvement of specialist services offered to women affected by domestic abuse; 

-  Recognising that domestic abuse is part of a larger picture which includes sexual violence and child welfare, use our expertise to support integrated approaches to these overlapping issues; 

-  To grow capacity to meet further demand as women begin re-presenting after the pandemic eases. We are aiming for growth of 20% in service capacity in each of the coming years; 

-  To continue a mix of remote and face to face work and develop it to build on what has worked; 

-  To pursue partnerships with other organisations in response to the needs identified amongst the women we work with; 

-  To raise the awareness to funders and providers of the prevalence of domestic abuse, its impact on women’s mental health, and the benefit of the Woman’s Trust specialist approach in addressing that impact; 

-  To research the mental health impacts of domestic abuse and our interventions, to influence commissioning and delivery; 

-  To sustain the current capacity and delivery achieved in 2021/22; and 

-  To ensure the organisation is on a robust and sustainable footing, by continuing our fundraising effectiveness and maintaining our reserves at a level in line with our reserves policy.

## **Public benefit statement** 

Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit in reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity, in planning future activities and, in particular, how planned activities will contribute to those aims and objectives. 

Woman’s Trust’s charitable objects are to relieve women and children who are or have been affected by domestic abuse, by providing counselling and support services. 

Woman’s Trust’s services have the following benefits: 

- Improving the mental health of women affected by domestic violence, reducing the likelihood that they will suffer from depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome, suicidal ideation, or any of the other mental health conditions associated with domestic abuse; 

- Empowering women affected by domestic violence to function better and to make better choices, enabling them to live fuller lives through, for example, better relationships with other family members and people outside the home, improved ability to work, to control their own finances and to take an active role in society; 

- Contributing towards the safety and emotional health of children whose families are affected by domestic violence; 

- Enabling women in abusive relationships to build their knowledge of support services, social networks and personal strength so that they can mitigate risk, plan for a safer future, and understand what services are available to them. 

These benefits relate directly or indirectly to several charitable purposes including the advancement of health (primarily mental health), the advancement of human rights and citizenship, the relief of poverty and of those in need.  In extreme cases, this can extend to saving lives as women are empowered to overcome the danger and damage caused by domestic violence. 

Woman’s Trust’s services are only for women who are or have been affected by domestic abuse, but are not otherwise restricted in principle.  In practice, there are certain restrictions: 

- beneficiaries must be able to reach our offices or points of service delivery; 

- where our funding is restricted to particular local authority or other geographical areas, beneficiaries must come from those areas.  This restriction varies from time to time as funders change; 

- counselling is available only in certain languages; 

- the needs of people with childcare (or other caring) responsibilities cannot always be met. 

Woman’s Trust seeks to overcome these restrictions where funding is available.  All services are currently free to users and there is no exclusion due to simple inability to pay. 

All private benefits – to our staff, suppliers and volunteers – contribute directly to achieving Woman’s Trust’s aims. 

For these reasons, the Trustees are confident that Woman’s Trust meets the public benefit requirements for charities.

Auditorfs res
onsibilities for the audlt of the financial statements
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatemènl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's
report Ihat includes our opinion. Re8sonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a
guarant88 thal an audil conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material
misstalemenl when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consid8red
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalemenls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is bcated on

bribery and dats protection. We ¢onsiderèd the extent to which non-compliance might have
material effect on the financial slatemenls. We also considered those laws and regulations that
have a direcl impact on the preparation of the financial slalemenls such as the Companies Act
2006, iaxation and pension legislalion. We cornmunicated identified laws and regulations
throughout our team and remained alert to any indicalions of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We evaluated rnanagemenl's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent rnanipulalion of Ihe
financial statements (including the risk of override of conlrolsl and determined that the principal
risks were re1aled lo inapproprialg transactions to increase rgvenLJ8 or reduc8 expendilure,

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial siatemgnls,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not cletecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud rnay involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the override of internal control.

we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report lo the related disclosures in the
