The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims YWHP MISSION

Enabling young women and girls affected by sexual abuse & exploitation, to have secure places to live, specialist support to recover from trauma and create safe futures for themselves and their children.

CHARITY OBJECT

The object of the charity is the relief of distress and suffering experienced by young women and children who have been affected by sexually abuse, including being subjected to mental and physical abuse.

CORE ACTIVITY

Young Women's Housing Project - YWHP provides specialist, trauma informed therapeutic support services and safe, supported accommodation for young women, girls, pregnant young women and young mothers, affected by sexual abuse, sexual exploitation/violence and domestic abuse.

The organisation takes a holistic approach, providing on-going person-centred support for clients throughout their transition into independence, addressing both complex and practical needs including: independent living skills and budgeting, progression into training and education, securing housing, parenting skills, legal issues and welfare advice. We provide specialist therapeutic and well-being interventions to address the impact of sexual abuse and exploitation, building resilience and staying safe strategies and supporting clients to manage mental health issues, self-harming and drug/alcohol abuse.

YWHP deliver community education, prevention programmes and training for both statutory and non-statutory bodies. We offer several accredited classroom-based programmes & workshops for young people to improve their understanding of healthy relationships, coercion and consent.

CHARITY REVIEW

To ensure our work delivers our aims we review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous twelve months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Review of Key Activities

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.

2020 - AN UNPRECEDENTED YEAR

The advent of Coronavirus obviously had a huge impact on our charity and everyone involved with it, clients, workers, trustees, stakeholders, and everyone beyond.

We very quickly had to develop and implement our Covid19 management plans, including:

Despite Covid19 we managed to keep all our services open throughout 2020-2021, and through all the lockdowns. We had to develop new and innovative ways of working, most of which we are continuing to adopt.

INCREASED ACCOMMODATION & RESTRUCTURED THERAPY TEAM

Nationally there was a shortage of safe accommodation for women and girls needing to flee, due to bed-blocking. There was also a significant increase in the number of women and girls being affected by abuse due to the lockdown restrictions, and families being trapped in their homes for greater periods of time.

Consequently, YWHP received higher levels of referrals for both accommodation and therapeutic support. To manage this, we increased our safe housing capacity from 13 beds to 17 beds. We also restructured our therapy team and increased worker hours to meet the demand.

We continued to provide a high standard of supported accommodation to our clients and we remain a strategically relevant and unique service in Sheffield. We had consistently high occupancy, which was 100% this year, and we pride ourselves on achieving 95% planned and positive departures.

SUPPORT WORK & THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS

We supported 148 young women aged 15-25 years, which was approximately 50% higher than the previous year. The total number of beneficiaries including dependent children aged 0-10 years, was 194.

Support planning is a shared process between the young women and workers, usually focusing on resilience, recovery and well-being; safe and healthy relationships; successful parenting; social and financial inclusion; effective future engagement with universal services and participation in the wider community.

Individualised support planning and recovery programmes are delivered in both one to one and group-work sessions. Due to Covid19 we could not deliver the volume of planned group-work sessions, but we significantly increased the number of individual sessions.

Total Group Work dropped from 289 in the previous year to just 82 this year. Total Individual sessions increased from 1443 to 3177 this year.

Breakdown of individual sessions:

2021-22 PLANS

The charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming year, considering any C19 guidelines and subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. YWHP, like many other charities, are aware that there could be a decline in available funding during the year ahead, at a time when the need for our services has never been more acute. We were and are mindful of this in our future plans:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public benefit

Our main activities and whom we try to help are described above. All our charitable activities focus on the relief of distress and suffering experienced by young women and children who have been affected by sexual abuse and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

QUALITY & STANDARDS

SERVICE DELIVERY

During the year we have continued to provide a high standard of support to our clients, we remain a strategically relevant and unique service in Sheffield that it is being utilised well. Our clients understand the purpose of the YWHP and many take an active role in influencing policy decisions. Clients are using the therapeutic service provisions to help overcome the effects of abuse and provide positive feedback and constructive consultation input about the provision. We are continuing to provide a good quality of service, which is effective in developing independent living skills and encourages young women to take up meaningful activity and eventually be successfully resettled.

In previous years we have reviewed our project against the standards set out in the Quality Assessment Framework from the ODPM for Supporting People Core Objectives. This has been a good assessment tool and provides us with clear plans for ongoing improvement.

We are pleased to adhere to the new National Statement of Expectations (NSE) for supported housing. It has been developed in collaboration between the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with input from local councils and the supported housing sector. It sets out government's vision for ways of working in the sector and recommendations for standards in accommodation and is an important step in establishing what good looks like and how it can be achieved.

YWHP are committed to providing delivery of good quality supported accommodation which meets our clients' needs, allows them to thrive and represents value for money.

NSE Annex A:

Checklist of accommodation standards and tenancy-related housing services in supported housing: covers legal requirements, suggested minimum standards and what is considered to constitutes best practice within the following areas:

Supported accommodation - general expectations and suitability Accommodation regulations and standards Housing facilities Housing safety and building condition Tenancy and licence agreements Resident communication and engagement

We have ensured that:

  1. We meet all the Minimum Legal Requirements

  2. We meet all the Minimum Standards

  3. We achieve the 'going further' by delivering Best Practice

We are operating at Best Practice in each of these checklist areas.

As Members of The Survivors Trust, YWHP adhere to the TST National Service Standards.

These provide a framework through which specialist rape and sexual abuse services demonstrate they are compliant with nationally recognised service standards for good practice, sound management and effective service delivery, that are sensitive to the demands of working effectively with trauma.

We achieved The Survivors Trust National Service Standards certification in 2012, and have been re-certified to date.

To strengthen our operational and service delivery activities, we assess, review and follow an Annual Quality & Improvement Action Plan, which details all the necessary actions and improvements identified to continue improving our service.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial Commentary FINANCE & FUNDING

COVID-19 Response Funds

We were able to offer exceptionally good levels of support to our young women and children throughout the pandemic. We were awarded a number of Covid19 grants to help with significant unplanned spending. The funding provided additional accommodation, increased staffing & therapeutic support, IT equipment to allow remote working and regular 'Isolation & Well-being Packs' for all the young women and children. These additional covid-related incomes sources included:

CAF Coronavirus Emergency Fund Cash for kids Hallam FM MHCLG Covid-19 Emergency Support funding for Domestic Abuse Services MHCLG Covid-19 Homelessness Response Fund MoJ Covid-19 Extraordinary Funding Morrisons Foundation Smallwood Trust Women's Sector Resilience Fund Hallamshire Soroptimists SYCF South Yorkshire Community Foundation 3SQUARED

Our contract with Sheffield City Council Housing Independence Service provided our clients with specialist housing related support. We also received additional funding from HIS to cope with the impact of the pandemic. We received grant funding from Lloyds Bank Foundation to provide on-going specialist care and therapeutic support services.

This was the final year of the 'WAGI' partnership Big Lottery Women & Girls Initiative; YWHP was one of five partners receiving a four-year grant to build capacity for work with women and girls to recover from violence, abuse and trauma, become resilient to future harm, and be empowered to live the lives they want.

A grant from BBC Children in Need supported our Parent as First Teacher interventions with young women and their children.

The accommodation buildings have been maintained through rental income and through our management agreements with South Yorkshire Housing Association, Target Housing and Sheffield Homes. We undertake a rolling programme of refurbishment and redecoration and keep all the accommodation in good condition.

A number of fundraising events, sponsorships and donations covered the cost of welcome-packs, day trips and celebrations. All our young women and children received hampers and toys at Christmas provided by YWHP Trustees, Hallam Help A Child, KidsOut and Sheffield Shoebox Appeal.

Sponsorships & Donations, we were supported by several local groups including CHILYPEP, Tinsley Women's Group, and a number of anonymous givers support us through GIVEY or by signing up to Easyfundraising.

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant and contract income from Sheffield City Council. As a result of increasing constraints on local authority expenditure, the charity has to seek funding from a much broader group of agencies. The charity has a revised funding strategy and is allocating appropriate responsibilities to implement this.

Investment policy and objectives

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment. The YWHP cash reserves are held in a high interest bank account. The trustees are planning to exchange two of the investment properties for smaller units during the year ahead.

Reserves policy

The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be at least 3 months running costs in accordance with our stakeholders good practice guidelines.

The reserves are considered necessary and appropriate to meet the working capital requirements of the charity during 2020-21.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing documents, a deed and trust and its Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are appointed in line with our Recruitment and Selection Policy and Articles of Memorandum. A person qualified and wishing to become a trustee must be aged 18 years or over and must either be recommended by the Trustees or be nominated for election by a member of the Charity.

Organisational structure and Policies

The charity is led by a board of trustees, and is accountable to the Charity Commission and Companies House. It is organised with a management committee and sub-committees.

The charity employs two part time directors, a service delivery manager, five therapeutic support workers, two clinicians, two therapy interns, four part time night workers and a finance/business worker.

Decision making and Management of the Organization

We continue to implement a very robust approach to succession planning, which has ensured a good transfer of skills and knowledge and maintained a strong core membership of the Management Committee. Trustee share responsibilities well, and have an active and effective committee structure. We have seen the established trustees develop their skills further and they mentor incoming trustees. Sub-committees meet regularly for Finance, HR and Client Involvement. We have an effective line management and appraisal system for all employees.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The Management Committee carry out an 'Organisational Risk Assessment', this looks at the major risks to the charity, forecasting over a 3-year period to cover management and finance, human resources, insurance and operational risks, governance, buildings and relationships with clients and stakeholders. This document is reviewed every 6 months; as such it was revisited in November 2020 and again in April 2021.

Covid Contingency Planning

During the first stages of the Corona virus we also developed an Organisational Resilience Pandemic Plan. YWHP recognised the importance of developing robust and flexible organisational continuity arrangements that would help to minimise the impact of the pandemic. Whilst the extent of the pandemic was unpredictable, preparing suitable responses in advance enabled the Charity to respond effectively to a range of scenarios and help to mitigate risks and minimise the impact upon essential operations, service delivery activities, employees and clients in line with current national guidance as it emerged.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Young Women's Housing Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 13 January 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF YOUNG WOMEN'S HOUSING PROJECT

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Young Women's Housing Project (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 9

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF YOUNG WOMEN'S HOUSING PROJECT

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered 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 statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the further that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Page 10

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF YOUNG WOMEN'S HOUSING PROJECT

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
