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.
2021
Coronavirus continued having a significant impact on our charity and everyone involved with it, clients, workers, trustees, stakeholders, and everyone beyond. We maintained our Covid19 management plans including:
-
C19 safety and risk practices: wearing masks, social distancing and disinfecting everything to limit infections.
-
Moving into so-called "hybrid working" conditions: having got used to MS Teams & Zoom, delivering virtual-support sessions (safely) and working remotely from home, we adopted a balance between face to face and remote working arrangements to suit the needs of clients and the work-force.
Despite Covid19 we managed to keep all our services open during 2021-2022, throughout all the lockdowns.
2021-2022 Plans & Achievements
We successfully:
- Produced our Aspirational Delivery Plan 2021-2023
1 GROWING WHAT WE DO

SAFE ACCOMMODATION, SUPPORT WORK & THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS
YWHP received higher levels of referrals for both accommodation and therapeutic support. The increase in the numbers 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, continued during 2021into 2022 as did the national shortage of safe accommodation.
To manage this in 2020, we had increased our safe housing capacity from 13 beds to 17, during 2021 we increased again, to 20 beds.
Support planning was 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 were delivered in both one to one and group-work sessions.
We had consistently high occupancy, with 34 young women and their children staying in the supported accommodation during the year. We pride ourselves on achieving 100% planned and positive move-on for those leaving the project.
We supported a further 175 young women aged 11-25 years, accessed our therapeutic groups, one-to-ones and programmes:
-
Counselling
-
CMD Therapy
-
Well-Being & Mindfulness
-
PAFT 'Parents as First Teachers' programme
-
'Escape the Trap' programme
-
'Who's in Charge' programme
A total 209 young women (and 54 dependent children) benefitted from YWHP support, which was approximately 25% higher than the previous year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
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, are a strategically relevant & unique service in Sheffield that it is being well utilized. 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 reviewed our project against the standards set out in the Quality Assessment Framework from the ODPM for Supporting People Core Objectives. This was a good assessment tool and provided us with a clear framework to plan ongoing improvement.
This has now been replaced by a 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 license agreements Resident communication and engagement
We have ensured that:
-
We meet all the Minimum Legal Requirements
-
We meet all the Minimum Standards
-
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 and have been re-certified to date.
We are working towards the One Small Thing Working with Trauma Quality Mark (Silver).
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
We were able to offer exceptionally good levels of support to our young women and children throughout the year and continuing pandemic.
Our contract with Sheffield City Council Housing Independence Service provided our clients with specialist housing related support. We were awarded an additional one-off grant to help with significant unplanned spending and provision of emergency Covid19 isolation bed spaces. During December 2021 we had to re-tender for this contract and have been awarded a 5-year contract up to 2027.
We received a grant to provide an additional 7 supported bed spaces from the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), now known as the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). During the year we increased our provision from 13 to 10 units of supported accommodation.
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.
We received Ministry of Justice (MOJ) Victim Services Grant Funding - Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence. This was to provide additional staffing and therapy/counselling hours, to maintain the increased levels which have been needed to cope with the impact of the pandemic and to meet the mental health needs of existing and new clients.
We also received a grant from Solace Women's Aid through their "Labyrinth Project" Empowering Women Fund. This grant for one year aimed at enhancing the capacity and reach of YWHP's sexual and domestic abuse programmes: ESCAPE THE TRAP an accredited teenage relationship abuse programme ETT WHO'S IN CHARGE teenage violence against parent's programme WIC PARENTS AS FIRST TEACHERS parenting programme PAFT
The funding is supporting joint working between YWHP and SayIt (Sheffield based LGBTQ+ support service for young people). The grant is to further develop these programmes, to improve inclusion and uptake of clients that identify as LGBT+.
A number of fundraising events, sponsorships and donations covered the cost of ongoing Covid19 support, welcome-packs, day trips and celebrations. These came from: St Marks Church, Arnold Clark Community Fund and Cash for Kids Hallam FM. A number of anonymous givers support us through GIVEY and CAF, or by signing up to Easyfundraising.
And finally, all our young women and children received hampers and toys at Christmas provided by YWHP Trustees, Hallam Help A Child, KidsOut and the Sheffield Shoebox Appeal.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant and contract income from Sheffield City Council and rental income from the supported accommodation provided. These are restricted funds for the purpose of providing supported accommodation, as such, the charity has to seek funding from a much broader range of sources in order to meet the support needs of our beneficiaries. 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 2022-23.

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
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Hollis and Co Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

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 2022 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
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:
-
Enquiry of management,and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; - Enquiry of entity staff in tax and compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
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.

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.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets

Freehold property - 2% on cost Long leasehold - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance
