Not• from th• Chalr of Anawlm'8 Trusteeg The Board has seen a considerable amount of change this year. Wth the support oflhe Company Secretary, the Board has reviewed the Articles of Associabon and ￿StruCtUred the committee system. Lynne Moran stood down as Chair of the Board, having served for a number of years. together with the Deputy Chair Janel Hemlin. As a Board we extended our thanks to them lof their service through some testing limes. I look over as Chair in November with David Heath as Deputy Chair. Monica Gai stood down as Iiuslee, having corne lo the end of her term and Siobahn Hughes and Hazel Kemshall both resi9ned for personal reasons, Again. we extend ovr thanks lo them for theif SUPPOrt. We advertised lor new trustees and following inlerviews we were able to appoint Kal Badman, Gemma 8irkett, Jennifer Brown, Sabreena Mahroof and Peter Fahy to the Board.

Both Anawim's Foundation Partners have indicated their inlentson lo step back from the 8oard as 8 result of changing circumstances. We will continua lo partner with Father Hudson's Caritas on any relevant loinl projects. We a150 Still have a link through Peler Fahy who is also a member of Father Hudson's trustees.

This is a big change, as Anawim was founded almost forty years ago by sisters of OLGC. We will be celebrating t*is anniversary next year. Meanwhile Joy has assured the Sisters and Archbishop Longley that Anawim will slay Irue lo the underpinning values of the Catholic ethos. We have had four Board meetings this year, and a very successful Away Day, held in February. Unfortunately, the May Board meeling had to be can￿lled as we would have been Inquorale. Meetings have continued to be a mix of in-person meetings and on-line meetings. We approved a deficit budget again Ihis year, but the financial srtvalion has improved over this financial year, particulaily thanks to the hard work of the project and finance team. While the lunding climate remains challenging Anawim has won some very significant funding bids. Nevertheless, we do face a potential financial cliff edge in March 2026, so will need lo continue lo be very vigilant. The NHS is projected lo rent the Dawn House premises as a step.down facility for Ardenleigh. This Should be a win-win situation with the NHS rent conlnbuling lo our finan￿$ while providing easy access for the women concerned to Anawim's courses.

Both women and children a￿ dispropo￿.onaleIY affected by malernal imprisonment. as women are more often primary caregivers. For many women. the trauma of imprisonment and separation from children can resort in adverse coping strategies such as self-harrn and substance abuse. With prisons overcrowded and still suffering Irom a shortage of officers, the rale of sell-harm has rocketed in women's prisons over the last ten years and is now more than 8.5 times higher than in men's. This is in part because vulnerable and severely mentally ill women are being sent to prison because of a lack of community alternatives. NEW CHANCE New Chance is an early inteNention project in partnership with the Wesl Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner. It enables the Police lo divert women who have committed low-level or firsl-lime offences, which can attract an Out of Court Disposal, away from the criminal justice system by addressing women's criminogenic needs. Anawim has 4 caseworkers on this service. A key oulcome is that women avoid receiving criminal record, which holds them back from employment and other aspects of their lives. By supporting women in the community. the damaging and endless cycles of prison, release, recall can be broken.

This year 171 women were supported to complete their sèntènces by our team of 8 caseworkers, 64 were supported in custody, 19 on Iic8nce after release from pnson and resettled into the community.

Yel violence was the highest offence mainly common assault of an emergency worker at 11 •/0, acquisitive crime was 2nd highest ai 100/4. The cosl-of-living crisis has disproportionately affected women, 55% of the women supported were unemployed or on zero-hour contracts working under 16 hours a week. Only 8 were in full lime employment. Of the women referred to the Probation team a huge 35Vo of those women had served previous custodial sentences and 70/0 had been on rernand. 22 Y. had no previous custody.

We have 2 Community Rehabilitation Seryice workers. In the country. 580/0 of women leaving custody reoffend within a year, the number is even higher for women serving a sentence of less than a year, which is about 17YD of the prison population. with 73Yo reoffending.

Anawim- Birmingham's Centre for Women Trustees, Annual Report Includlng Dlrectors Report Year Ended 31 March 2025 This year, much support has been offered to the women who have walked through the gales of the prison. This includes immediate help with housing, helping women with substance abuse, family support and access to our free counselling program. Women have said that the extensive list ol courses and high-quality support meets their needs and so have not needed lo go elsewhere as it is truly holistic. A150, the Coufses on ofler have been fatsng excellent consistently - a testament to effort and care that goes into providing the best courses for women by the staff. One of the main reasons that women enter the criminal justice system is the lack of mental health support in the community. This can lead to druglalcohol problems and short prison sentences that st3rt an endless cycle ol reorfending. Anawim combats this by offering mental health support lor women leaving prison and helping them to regain their indepéndence w•th accommodatiort and increased contact with their children, COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS creats.ng community connections is a projèel run in 7 prisons aiming to support women in custody who have svffered domestic abuse via in depth one to one support or ad hoc support such as signposting.

Anawim has a link worker in HMP Foslon Hall and trained charnpions interacting with 451 women over the last year. SU85TANCE MISUSE We only had a specialist worker in this post 10107124 - 06101125 as this post has been a challenge to recruit, but fortunately she was promoted to manager lo cover maternity for Ihe Central services manager, so we didn't lose her expertise in this area.

COUNSELLING Counselling is offered for every woman, Iree of charge, at our women's cenlre, as part of our wraparound service. Limited acces510 travel and struggling to keep track of appointments can be a barrier for many women trying to acces5 SUPPOrt, which is why we believe our one-stop approach is so important.

Students al Bimiingham City University Sutton Coldfield Soroptimists Solihull Soroplimisls Tala Technologies -Leamington Spa University of Birmingham Fundraising Regulator Statement of Compliance Anawim does not contract wth a third party to undertake any fundraising on its behalf. We have received no fundraising complaints during the year. Flnanclal Revlew Summary The accounts cover all activitses controlled by the Charity. During the year to 31 March 2025. Anawim received incorne of £2.171.640 {2024.' £1,905.887) and incurred total expenditure of £2.262,29712024.. £2,070,130). The Charity saw a decrease in its total Ltnds of £93,803 in Ihe year. The high level of income reflects Anawim's respected status as a reliable service partner by national and local government departmenls and by charitable foundations who trust Anawim to deliver services and change programmes for women, The slight increase in income compared to the prior year can be attributed lo a successlul fvndraising strategy which has secured several new grants during the year. We were also awarded the lead partner within the New Chance project with WMPCC whereby we directly co-ordinated ralerrals lo the project for which we received additional funding, The increase in expendilure can mainly be attributed to rising staff costs and operational costs due to inflats'onary increases. At 31 March 2024 the Charity held cash and bank deposits of £599.353 {2024. £907,54SI and investments of £96.591 12024.. £99,737). Investment income fell in the latter part of the year due lo increases in inflation and flucluatsng market conditions affects'ng the portlolio of investments. The Charity's rèservès and cash positions are satisfactory and the Board ol Trustees ￿lieve that it is appropriate lo adopt the Going Concern Basi$ in the preparation of these financial stalemenls. Re8erve• Pollcy Following the annual review. the Board has established a policy lo maintain unrestricted funds not cornmitted or Invested in fixed assets i.e. 'free reserves,, al a level of be￿een Six and ￿e1ve months of unrestricted expenditure. In the light of actiwties and funding. thi5 Should provide Sufficient funds lo continue the current activities of the charity. provide for core posts and give Sufficient time lo consider and replace existing funding sour￿$ should there be a significant change in present funding arrangements. As al 31 March 2025 the serve6 policy wa8 complied with an¢J free reserves equated lo around twelve months unrpslricted expenditure. With the uncertainties in the economy. the trustees continuè lo note the importancè of maintaining adequate reserves to maintain and adapt Se￿ICe5 in response to rapidly changing circumstances. The charity will continue to strive towards operating wrthin its available funding during the next financial year. The Board is acutely aware that most of the charity's activities are driven by restricted funding and hence, costs musl be managed accordingly. Any core costs not covered by restn.cted funds still need lo be mel to keep the charity in operation, so raising sufficient unrestricted funds in future lo comply with the reserves policy is crucial. The reseNes policy will conts'nue to be reviewed annually. 14

Anawim - Birmingham's Centre for Women Trustees, Annual Report Includlng Dlrectors Report Year Ended 31 March 2025 Investment Policy There are no restrictions on Anawim's power lo invesL A donation from The Fairlighl Trust in 2017 led to the Board of Trustees investing funds of £200,000 in 8 portfolio of a55ets with the aim of giving increased certainty lo the future of Anawim. In the year to 31 March 2023, further capital of £100,000 was released from the investment portfolio. At at 31 March 2025, the fair value of the investment portfolio is £96,591, falling below the nominal value due lo unrealised losses. While losses are nol desired, given the general slate of the economy and investment market5. the Iruslees consider the performance of the inveslmenl to be 5alisfaclory. Income of £4,120 was generated from the portfolio and uts'liséd in funding the core running costs of the charity. The trustees reviewed the approach to investments in December 2020 and adopted a revised investment ' policy statement. The key elements ol the investmenl policy are as follows: 1. Expèrt Advic•. The Trvslees can syelegate management ol any investments to a Financial Expert, defined in the charity's Articles of Association as an individual, company or firm who is authorised lo give investment advict under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. 2. Rlsk The Trustèès acknowledge that lo achieve acceptable and sustainable long temi returns some degree of risk 15 necessary. The main risk is lo the long-term sustainabilily of the investments 15 inflation and the assets shoLtld be invested lo mitigate this risk over the long term. The Trustees accept that the investments are likely to be concentrated in real assets such as equities and property and the short-lerm value of these assets can Ilucluate. To miligale these fluctuations the Trustees wish to diversify their portfolio. 3. Llquidity Investments musl have appropriate liquidity with 80% realisabl? within one month. 4. Currency The majority of the inveslmant$ should be held in st8ding denominated inslrumenls. S. Responslble Investment: The Charity wishes lo adopt a responsible investment approach seeking sustainable long-lemi ￿tUrns. using exclusions. inlegralion. and social and governance considerations across all asset classes and engagement Ihroughout ownership. In line with its elhos and values. investments should be chosen lo make a positive impact on people and the planet. The designated investmenl fim must be able lo demonslrate a rigorous ethical, social and governance policy in ils approach to investments. Following this rewew. the charity's investment portfolio was moved from a bespoke managed portfolio to the Cazenove Responsible Multi Asset Fund. It is the Trustees. view th8t there are not suffi'cient surplus funds at the present lime to increase this investment. Any other surplus fvnds are deemed short term and. therefore, these monies are invested in readily accessible bank deposit account5. Plans lor the Fulufe Anawim continues to operate in a turbulent sociwconomic context with a new govemment who have inherited a difficult economic situation and many years of austerity which have damaged services many irrevocably. The changes lo Employer's National Insurance contributions due to come into eflect in the next financial year have added an additional £70k to Anawim's payroll budget. This additional burden will have lo be managed carefully however. we have been fortunate that many of our funders have responded with an uplift for 202512026 to help ease the burden this rise creates and to minimise the use of reserves lo bridge the gap. Following recent further investment in Anawim's lundraising and development capacity, Anawm has developed and is now implementing an ambitious fundraising and communications strategy in order lo diversify 15

Unfortunately, one of our enterprise schemes, a pre-loved clothing boutique in Moseley has not achieved the footfall or income we had hoped and will sadly close ils doors in August 2025. We are in the process of building an on-site boutique to replace the shop which will continue lo provide valuable skills for the women as well as some valuable incorne.

Anawim- Birmingham's Centre for Women Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees and Members of Anawlrn Centre for Women Blrmlngham's Year Ended 31 March 2025 Because of the inherent limilalions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delecl all irregularities, including those leading lo a material misslalemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk Increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions rellected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of Instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regaroing irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
