CEO Reflections
I would like my report to reflect the joy that quite often resonates throughout the organisation in all its forms.
We often witness the conflicting feelings of joy, when a client finally secures a conviction of their perpetrators.
There is both joy and sadness when a client has their final session with the counsellor, there is joy of securing
funding to continue the work of NRC and there is joy working with a committed and dedicated team of women,
within the staff team, our Trustees and counsellors.
As an organisation we continue to embrace a hybrid model of working, which combines in-person and remote
work, this allows for a flexible approach that can cater to the diverse preferences and the needs of clients,
counsellor5 and members of the staff team. This adaptability not only supports the well-being of all involved
but also ensures that our service delivery remains uninterrupted and accessible, reflecting the evolving
dynamics of the workplace and our clients, needs.
Behind the scenes, as an organisation we have worked tirele551y to get clarity on the government pledge to
"Halve Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in a decade"
and how this pledge will benefit
victims/survivors of sexual violence, whether recent of historic. As I write this report the details are beginning
to emerge and these details are difficult to digest; there is now a shift in where the intervention will take place,
with the emphasis on targeting the most prolific perpetrators of domestic violence with an investment of £53
million pounds, for perpetrator programmes.
Over the past few months, we've begun building a directory of potential new funders whose values align with
NRC'S work. We've already reached out to several local funders and will continue to invest time and energv
into applying to national ones. Thi5 is a hopeful and exciting step forward, one that reflects our ongoing
commitment to securing sustainable support for the future of NRC.
NRC'S annual Reclaim the Night IRTNI march is NRC'S way to encourage partner organisations and members
of our community to come together and campaign for safety on our street5.
The RTN march is also a further way in which we can work to reduce the stigma around talkin8 about sexual
violence, so that more victims and survivors feel able to ask for and seek support. In 2024 it was a joy to see
so many of Northamptonshire's community join us in their hundreds making 2024 our biggest event to date.
We will hope to build on this in 2025.

Our Associations
We are members of the national organisation Rape Crisis England and Wales {RCEW) and our work is guided
by RCEW National Service Standards, as well as our organisational membership of BACP. Our dedicated small
staff team, counselling volunteers and NRCS board of trustees continue to work tirelessly to enable us to
deliver our trauma informed services, providing 'best value, for survivors of sexual violence and sexual abuse.
Return on Investment
NRC can demonstrate its own value to our local economy in many ways; we are able to evidence that for every
£1 we receive from within the county- we are able to bring in an additional £3.15 into the local economy. Our
work with clients supports them to remain in employment, supports them to remain in education and enables
them to access trauma informed support, when they have limited access to mental health intervention, when
they are not in crisis.
In the year ahead, we will remain focused on diversifying our funding streams by exploring available
opportunities both within and beyond the county. We will also continue to strengthen our efforts in individual
giving and community fundraising. As part of this commitment, we will endeavour to exhaust all viable funding
avenues an undertaking that requires significant time and dedicated resource. We also need to engage with
our community and come together to make Northamptonshire a place where everyone can be free from
violence and abuse. We will work and collaborate with partners in the third sector and public sectorto achieve
our aims.
Services & Cam
ai
ns
We remain the only free-at-the-point-of-access, trauma-informed, specialist sexual violence service in the
county, offering support to survivors of sexual violence and sexual abuse, regardless of when an incident
occurred. We continue to focus on making our seniices relevant and accessible to all survivors of sexual
violence across Northamptonshire.
l. Counsellin
2024-2025 Stats:
6 new volunteer counsellors completed their training and joined us.
By the end of the year, we had 27 active Volunteer Counsellors.
Average 70-80 individuals on the waiting list.
Individuals wait on average, 12 weeks between referral and starting counselling.
2. Volunteer Counsellors
NRC deliver their critical services through a small staff team who are supported by a much larger team of
dedicated Volunteer Counsellors. Our Volunteers enable us to reach out to more people and keep our services
free.
"I really value the work that NRC do, l enjoy the support they give to both their counsellors and the clients. I
enjoy that we are all working together to support people in their journey to healing (Volunteer Coun5ellor)
3. Grou
Work and Peer Su
ort
In 2023, we ran the first ArtTherapy course at our offices in Warwick House. Since its launch, we have delivered
this course six times, offering both daytime and evening sessions to ensure it is as accessible as possible to a
wide range of survivors. We are currently exploring way5 to expand acce55ibility further, including the
potential to deliver the course through an online platform. The Art Therapy course complements our

counselling services by providing a unique space to explore emotional wellbeing through regulation
techniques, psychoeducation, and the development of resilience skills.
The sessions were run by Jen Tasker from Go Art Therapy and proved incredibly popular with clients, both
before and alongside their counsellin8 session5. The group is now an integral and established part of our
service delivery.

in
with New Local MPS and Government VAWG Tar
ets
During the 2024-2025 financial year, we proactively engaged with both newly elected Members of Parliament
for Northamptonshire Mike Reader (Northampton South) and Lucy Rigby (Northampton North)-as well as
the new Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (PFCCI for Northamptonshire. Following the election of a Labour
government in July 2024, a national target was set to halve cases of violence against women and girls IVAWGI
by the end of the parliamentary term in 2029. In response, we have participated in meetings and interviews
with local representatives to explore how organisations such as the Northamptonshire Rape Crisis INRCI can
contribute to achieving this goal. Our focus has been both on supporting the implementation of effective local
strategies and on ensuring government accountability through the sharing of frontline insights and expertise.
On Sunday 8 December, our CEO Dawn Thomas attended an invitation only and
exclusive roundtable event with Mike Reader and Cabinet Minister, Anneliese
Dodds, to "highlight equality-based issues in the constituency, and a chance for
both of them to hear about the work and priorities of organisations like yours"
5. Tralnln
Our 'Understanding the Impact and Consequences of Sexual Violence, was provided across the year to
professionals in several settings. This included training to partners such as the Northamptonshire Police and
VOICE {Victim and Witness Support}, counselling students and Improving Access to Psychological Therapies
{IAPT} staff delivering Talking Therapies.
6. Partnershl Workln
Working with a range of local stakeholders on issues relating to sexual violence and abuse is key to ensuring
we reach those who either access our services or can share our prevention messages. As a countywide agency
we work with partners across Northamptonshire, and in 2023124 delivered and engaged in the following:
Ongoing involvement in the Northampton Women's Forum.
Ongoing involvement in '16 Days Against Gender Based Violence, led by West Northants Council.
Supported Sexual Violence Awareness Week {Februaryl and No More Week (March)
An information stands at WNC'S International Women's Day event
Planned information sta115 at Northampton College and Rushden Youth Engagement events
7. Reclaim the Ni
ht
In 2024, we again organised the Northampton Reclaim the Night march. As in previous
year5 the Barry Road Co-op provided us with space to gather and provided hot drinks
and a great atmosphere. With performances from local musicians and poets, the
march was a powerful and inspiring event.

2024's march was the most well attended to date and carne in the immediate wake of
the murder of local woman Harshita Brella. This added focus and poignancy to an
already impactful event.

We listen. We believe, We support

Northamptonshire Rape Crisis
Annual Report and Accounts

In the lead up, we ran two banner making workshops and engaged with the University
of Northampton {UON} and other local groups. Local MP, Mike Reader, attended and
engaged meaningfully with the march.
The march was extremely well received by the local community and as always incredibly
well supported by local partner organisations including VOICE and Northamptonshire
Domestic Abuse Services (NDASI.
7. Volunteers Week 2024
To celebrate Volunteerfs Week 2024, we ran a day of
CPD activities to say thank you to our Volunteer
Counsellors. This included sessions on 'Psychologically
Informed Approaches to Understanding and Working
with Trauma, lead by our placement psychologist, and
an intro to Art Therapy with Jen from 'Go Art TherapW.
The Year Ahead
In light of the changing political and economic environment and the continuing growth of referrals into our
service, the coming year will see the continued implementation of our multi-year business plan, further service
development and work toward our goal of increased visibility to meet demand, opportunities and challenges
as they arise.
We have been heartened by the local and national commitments to reducing VAWG and the engagement
shown from our local MPS with NRC as a service for survivors. We will continue to work closely with them to
help, and to hold them to account as they tackle their target of halving VAWG by 2034.

Financial Review
Financial reports are prepared by the Office Manager and reviewed independently by external accountant,
Lorraine Scullion, MAAT.
The Financial position is reviewed monthly by the Treasurer/Chair and presented to Trustees at each bi-
monthly Board Meeting.
Principal sources of ongoing funding for the year have remained consistent with earlier years, with continued
Substantial support from the Ministry of Justice, Office of the Police. Fire & Crime Commissioner {OPFCCI,
SARC, The Horner Foundation and The Lloyds Bank Foundation.
Cost control remains Strong with day-to-day re50urcing optimised by a mix of full and part time employees
and voluntary counsellors. We continue to adapt to the changing employment landscape, offering a
combination of office based and remote working. One positive legacy of Covid-19 is our ability to now deliver
services both online and face-to-face enabling clients with limited access to transport or care givers easier
access to our services.
We remain grateful to all our independent funders, both locally and nationally, who have enabled the charity
to continue to grow and provide essential service5 throughout this period of ongoing economic uncertainty.
Our restricted reserves policy is to hold between 6-12 months of expenditure, and this is monitored bi-monthly
by the Treasurer with regular updates provided at Board Meetings. The reserves policy is reviewed annually
alongside the presentation of the budget for the following year to assess if it remains appropriate for the
current economic climate and NRUS own circumstances.
The Year Ahead
We anticipate ongoing challenges in the year ahead as we navigate the changing landscape and priorities of
our funders and the requirement to meet the needs of a growing cohort of clients seekin8 support.
Our focus remains on our four key areas to ensure our services are available to all who need them, both now
and in the future:
Accessibility
Prevention
Sustai nability
Governance & Infrastructure
Governance
Northamptonshire Rape Crisis (NRC) was first registered as a charity in June 1987. In March 2014, the Trustees
as the only voting members, converted NRC to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which aligned
with the organisational needs. The Trustees have the discretion to accept as members any person over the
age of 16 who sUPPOrts the objectives of the charity.
The Board comprises up to a maxirnum of eightTru5tees as defined under charity law and those serving during
the year are listed on page 2.
During 24/25, the Board met approximately everytwo months. Meetings were held both online and in person.
None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the Charity.

Leadershi
Operational day-to-day management of the Charity is delivered under the direction of the CEO who holds
significant experience and relevant specialised skills and knowledge for the key operational activities of the
Charity.
anisation
The Board meets bi-monthly to discuss and approve all major strategic decisions and to review operational
progress. An independent clerk minutes the meetings and the CEO attends all Board meetings to ensure a
good exchange of information and communication between the operation and the board, During the year
there are also strategic development days to ensure the strategic direction remains current and relevant.
Partnershi
NRC is based in premises provided by the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner. This facilitates
close working relationships with two other victim focused agencies located within the building: The Sunflower
Centre and Voice for Victims. N Rc's role as a key partner and provider of essential support services is clear
and, together with Voice for Victims and The Sunflower Centre, the local high level domestic abuse agency,
we have developed close working relationships with both agencies that benefit our shared client base.
NRC also works with Serenity, Northamptonshire's Sexual Assault Referral Centre ISARCI and is part of the
collaboration: Northamptonshire against Domestic Abuse and Sexual Abuse INADASA}. Multi-agency work
with both statutory and voluntary agencies continues on a daily basis to enhance the service available to our
mutual service users across the county.
We continue to work alongside local schools, colleges and Northampton University, as well as reaching out to
community and youth groups, to provide training, resources and signposting.
Risk Assessment and Risk Mana
ement
The Board has a fundamental role to play in overseeing the management of risk for NRC. To enable this, the
Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

Northamptonshire Rape Crisis
Annual Report and Accounts
For the Year Ended 31" March 2025
Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees ofr
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RAPE CRISIS
Charitable Incorporated Organisation Number: 1156246
I report on the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on the attached
pages 15 to 20
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not
required for thi5 year under section 14412) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is
needed.
It is my responsibility to:
> Examlne the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and section 4{Illc) of the Charitles
Act
> Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charlty Commission (under
section 14515){b) of the 2011 Act.
> State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures of
the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion
is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair viev/' and the report is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent Examinerfs Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
l. Which give5 me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the ￿qUIreMents.
> To keep accounting record5 in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Att: and
> To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wlth the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act, with the methods and principle5 of the Statement of Recommended
Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
