Trustees’ report Year ended 31 March 2022
The Board is chaired by Co-Chairs and meets at least four times a year. During the year, three SubCommittees of the Board: Finance & Fundraising, Membership and HR, are in operation to oversee these areas of EVAW’s work. A process of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for ensuring the charity delivers on its aims and objectives is delegated to the staff Director(s).
Appointment of Trustees
Of these, eight Trustees will normally be elected from among the membership and Trustees may co-opt up to four additional members to fill skills or knowledge needs of the Board.
Trustee induction and training
All new Trustees are provided with a Trustee Handbook and EVAW’s Theory of Change and are required to read and sign EVAW Board of Trustees’ Terms of Reference, Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy. New Trustees are invited and encouraged to undertake training on their new responsibilities.
Public Benefit
As laid out in our objects, EVAW campaigns to promote the human right of women and girls to live free from violence. The Trustees confirm that EVAW operates for the public benefit and that we have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and planning future activities. Our summary of activities below lay out the ways in which we have worked to further our charitable aims for the public benefit throughout the year.
OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES
EVAW’s vision is of a society where women and girls can live their lives free from violence and the threat of violence against women and girls in all its forms, including: sexual violence, domestic violence, forced marriage, sexual exploitation, FGM, stalking and harassment. In pursuit of this we campaign to:
-
Make the case for improved UK national and local government policy and practice in response to all forms of violence against women and girls;
-
Challenge the wider social and cultural attitudes that minimise, tolerate and excuse violence against women and girls.
Following the acute challenges of the unprecedented year prior to this, which saw the coronavirus pandemic tear through our lives and work, this period (1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022) saw violence against women and girls (VAWG) come to very front of national consciousness in a way we have never seen before. The tragic murders of Sabina Nessa, Nicole Smallman, Bibaa Henry and Sarah Everard and subsequent criminal justice proceedings, including investigations by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, police officers jailed for misconduct in public office and launch of the Angiolini Inquiry into how a police officer was able to abuse his position to abduct, rape and murder a member of the public, have placed these issues in prominence and kicked off an ongoing national conversation about violence against women, women’s safety and intersecting inequalities. For EVAW, these national conversations have meant we have been looked to significantly by the media for analysis and commentary, by politicians and national and local policy makers for solutions, by criminal justice system agencies for evidence and expert advice on systems change, by our sector for information and coordinated policy asks, as well as by survivors and the

Year ended 31 March 2022
wider public for resources and calls to action to express collective grief, rage and to come together around demands for a different world in which women are free from violence and the threat of it.
Over the year, our key areas of activity included:
-
A. Making the case to Government, policy makers and system leaders on the need for a joined-up approach to ending and preventing VAWG, recognising the gendered nature of VAWG and intersecting inequalities as key drivers through work on:
-
i. Legislative agenda: Domestic Abuse Act, Online Safety Bill and human rights
-
ii. Cross-Government VAWG Strategy
-
iii. Prevention
-
iv. Sexual violence
-
v. Criminal justice system response
-
vi. Other policy areas (Covid-19, public spending, ratification of the Istanbul Convention, VAWG and football)
-
B. Prominence of VAWG in key political moments
-
C. Ensuring VAWG is centred in public discourse
-
D. Membership
-
E. Organisational development
Legislative agenda
Domestic Abuse Act
The Domestic Abuse Bill became the Domestic Abuse Act, receiving royal ascent in April 2021. Throughout the Act’s long journey through Parliament, the Government did adopt several necessary amendments, thanks to the tireless campaigning of our sector, and EVAW members, in particular. This includes recognising non-fatal strangulation as a new offence, extending coercive control to include post-separation abuse and extending “revenge porn” laws to include partners or ex partners threatening to share intimate images.
EVAW secured cross-party support for three amendments: a ‘non-discrimination principle’ which would ensure all victims of domestic abuse are protected, regardless of their status, in line with the Istanbul Convention; an amendment on ‘community-based services’ which would require local authorities, police and crime commissioners (PCCs) and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to ensure sufficient provision of specialist domestic abuse support services in their local areas; and on the Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, which would ensure that any statutory guidance issued alongside the Domestic Abuse Bill takes the VAWG Strategy into account, so that efforts to prevent and address domestic abuse are linked to integrated and coordinated responses to tackle VAWG.
Despite these amendments not passing in the Commons, EVAW’s advocacy and campaigning efforts contributed to government concessions to consult on a duty for community-based services as part of the Victims Bills consultation, and to include reference to the VAWG strategy in the Domestic Abuse Act statutory guidance to indicate it does not want to de-gender domestic abuse or separate domestic abuse from the wider framework of violence against women and girls. EVAW also contributed to speeches by Peers and our work and briefings were widely referenced and acknowledged by many MPs/Peers across debates for all stages of the Bill.

End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Trustees’ report
Year ended 31 March 2022
Whilst the Government declined to put support for migrant women on an equal footing with other victims of domestic abuse in the legislation, in spite of the wide support by a notable majority of the members of the House of Lords, our work on the Bill placed EVAW and our impact centrally among the pressure to finally ratify the Istanbul Convention.
Online Safety Bill
Online VAWG should be understood as part of the wider continuum of violence against women and girls, with the online space as a context for VAWG being perpetrated offline as well. We launched a campaign together with Glitch calling for the Online Safety Bill to recognise and explicitly name online VAWG in all its forms, our petition gained +60k signatures from the public. One of the key documents which will root the campaign - the VAWG Principles for the Online Safety Bill – was supported by 14 organisations and experts on online safety & harms.
Women and girls need this Bill to take a rights-based approach that centres the right to access online spaces free from harassment, abuse and threats. Women and girls, particularly those minoritised and marginalised, already remove themselves from online spaces, refrain from expressing their views and have to exercise a degree of “safety work” that inhibits and curtails their experiences and ability to express themselves freely, without fear. The legislation needs to recognise the extent of VAWG perpetrated online, and the devastating harm this has on victims’ lives, both online and offline. We created a briefing for the Pre-Legislative Scrutiny Committee and submitted evidence to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee. We also responded to the Law Commission’s consultation on intimate imagebased abuse together with the Faith and VAWG Coalition on what is needed to ensure intimate image abuse against all women is properly addressed.
Human rights
While some of the legislative developments in this period can contribute positively to the lives of women and girls, we are concerned that some, on the other hand, can strip away our rights, particularly those most marginalised, even more vulnerable to abuse and left with little recourse to justice when they are let down by the State. EVAW joined human rights organisations including Amnesty UK, Liberty, Freedom from Torture, the British Institute for Human Rights, Equally Ours, the Quakers and The Humanists in a week of action for human rights in the UK, calling for an end on the “Raid on Rights”.
EVAW is clear that moving away from the human rights framework is a threat to women, with Black and minoritised women at the very sharpest edge. In this period we campaigned on the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, Nationality and Borders Bill Judicial Review Bill and plans to remove the Human Rights Act in place of a ‘British Bill of Rights’. We supported our member, Rights of Women’s joint briefing to the House of Lords outlining the ways in which new legal duties proposed in the Bill, which are meant to encourage authorities to address serious violence, in fact risk leading to greater profiling, discrimination and intrusion in Black and minoritised people’s lives. We also supported our member, Women for Refugee Women with advocacy around the Nationality and Borders Bill which our sector came together around to warn that this legislation will be harmful for women, putting survivors of VAWG at risk of further trauma and re-victimisation.
The Human Rights Act is a critical tool in upholding women’s rights and challenging failures by the State in how it responds to and prevents VAWG. We have always been vocal on how the Human Rights Act
7
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Trustees’ report Year ended 31 March 2022
provides legal protection that is fundamental to women’s rights, as an overwhelming number of police failings relate to sexual violence and domestic abuse. In this period we submitted our response to Independent Human Rights Review and to the Joint Committee on Human Rights consultation on Human Rights Act.
The Government’s VAWG Strategy
We published our first VAWG Trends briefing, which we aim to do every year to map and document prevalence and the policy landscape attempting to address VAWG. The report pulls together official statistics and recently published research from our sector. The report identifies the key challenges facing women and girls including the impact of the pandemic, racism and systemic barriers facing Black and minoritised women who are victims and survivors of violence, online abuse, and the systemic failings of the justice system to prosecute rape.
The government’s long-awaited new VAWG Strategy was published following the Home Office receiving +180,000 responses to the consultation. Our response was to welcome it, given the importance of a crossgovernment joined up approach to ending and preventing VAWG, however we were vocal with concerns that the actions fell short on ambition and funding. Additionally, when it comes to the crucial issue of gender inequality and how it intersects with other disadvantages and impacts on Black, minority ethnic, migrant, disabled and LGBT survivors of abuse, the strategy fell short. We attended every strategy development workshop, knowing that our members may not always have the capacity to participate. These included on sexual violence, online harms, migrant victims and international obligations, local commissioning and multi-agency working, and “by and for” focus groups. We also worked in partnership with Stylist magazine, advising, and remaining close to the development of their Fearless Future campaign.
One of EVAW’s long-term campaigns calls for a public attitudes and awareness campaign around VAWG, which was granted in this iteration of the VAWG Strategy, could make a real difference. We were and continue to be consulted by the Home Office on this and will work to ensure replication of where we’ve seen this approach work in other public health campaigns.
Prevention
We were invited to be one of the stakeholders in the Reference group to inform Ofsted's review into sexual abuse in schools and colleges alongside Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector and other senior Ofsted representatives, Children’s Commissioner, National Police Chiefs Council, Public Health England, Local Government Association, NSPCC, Independent Schools Inspectorate among others. We contributed to every meeting, as the only representative for women and girls on the Reference Group. The review found that harmful sexual behaviour in education settings was normalised with 9 out of 10 girls had experienced sexist name calling and 92% of girls had been sent unsolicited explicit pictures or videos while schools’ responses were found to be inconsistent and ineffective.
We welcomed the leading recommendation of the review, which we campaigned for, that a ‘whole school approach’ is needed so that schools and college leaders can create a culture where sexual harassment and online sexual abuse are not tolerated. This includes providing training sexual harassment and sexual violence, and training on how to deliver relationships, sex and health education as well as giving both young people and staff the skills to respond to, challenge and prevent violence against women and girls within their establishment and the local community. However, the review did not explore which young
8
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Trustees’ report Year ended 31 March 2022
people are most likely to be targeted or the impact of race, disability or other characteristics which can compound the abuse girls are subjected to on- and offline. Our response to the report and findings gained significant media traction; and following our letter to the Secretary of State for Education we were invited to meet with officials where we made the case for major action to tackle abuse in schools and the need for Government to show leadership in addressing sexual violence and harassment in schools.
EVAW facilitates and convenes a Prevention Network of organisations, academics and policy experts in the VAWG prevention field. This network meets regularly, and in this period jointly wrote to the Education Secretary setting out key recommendations for what we believe needs to change and how in response to the Ofsted review findings, including calling for a 'whole schools approach' taskforce.
Sexual violence
Following the decision in our judicial review of the Crown Prosecution Service, and although the Court did not find in our favour at the end of the last period, the impact of the litigation combined with our wider sexual violence campaigning saw some significant impact in this period: The publication of the Government’s long-awaited ‘End to End Rape Review’ which, as a result of our tireless campaigning, saw several recommendations made in our ‘Shadow Report’ visible, including appointment of a ministerial lead for the Rape Review (Minister for Crime and Policing Kit Malthouse MP, as well as a Shadow equivalent in the Opposition); A commitment to developing better understanding of the impacts of trauma on rape victims across the CJS, and the important commitment to taking a more ‘suspect-focused’ approach to rape investigations; An acknowledgement about how seriously victims of rape have been failed, with an unequivocal apology from senior Govt ministers to rape victim-survivors, saying they are “deeply ashamed” of the unacceptable record on rape convictions; The launch of an innovative pilot (Operation Soteria) has potential – will reorganise rape investigations to be suspect focused, not investigating victim credibility. But with funding for only for 1 year we can't be confident it's going benefit the majority of victims-survivors anytime soon, and; Plans to introduce ‘scorecards’ for some long-overdue accountability could drive some positive changes but the Review doesn't tell us what they will measure and how, and whether there will be any consequence for leaders if agencies continue to underperform.
We responded comprehensively to the Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into the investigation and prosecution of rape, which was convened in order to response to the massive public interest in this crisis. We also responded to the first part of a 2-part joint inspection of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) and Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) into the police and CPS response to rape now echoing what we have been saying for years about the experience of women and girls in the criminal justice system and the need for transformative change. Our impact here is significant, and we will continue to monitor closely.
Criminal justice system (CJS) response
This period saw EVAW engage intensely on the criminal justice response to VAWG, partly due to a series of government CJS announcements. We responded to the first part of the joint Police and CPS Inspectorates report; we also responded to the Crown Prosecution Service end of year data on VAWG and; to the interim report of the HMICFRS inspection into policing responses to women and girls, where we are key
stakeholders on the advisory groups. These reports and recommendations contained within them speak to and echo the calls we have been making for transformative change within the CJS and strategic prioritisation of VAWG at a national policing level. Attention to the response and needs of survivors facing
9
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd
Trustees’ report Year ended 31 March 2022
multiple forms of inequality and discrimination has been minimal which remains a key concern and central to EVAW’s political advocacy work.
We commissioned YouGov to undertake focussed nationwide research following the outpouring of feeling and ensuing national conversation about the institutional cultures that underpin and enable police perpetrators to abuse without consequence propelled by the details released as part of the sentencing of Wayne Couzens for the kidnap, murder and rape of Sarah Everard and the police’s appalling treatment of murdered sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman. We released the data within the context of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) summit on how policing can build public trust and improve performance, at which we spoke on a prominent platform alongside Maggie Blythe, new national policing lead and Vera Baird QC. Following this we were also invited to join the expert reference group for the Home Secretary’s Review into Standards and Vetting of the Police. The survey found:
-
47% of women and 40% of men reported declining trust in the police following the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens.
-
76% of women (71% of all adults polled) told us they believed the culture of policing has to change in order to better respond to VAWG.
-
1 in 10 women (would be less likely to report sexual assault to the police following the Sarah Everard case.
-
65% of people think the government should do more to prevent VAWG.
We also responded to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) reports to highlight how systemic sexism and racism both enable police officers to perpetrate abuse and protect abusers from facing meaningful consequences. We highlighted how the response fundamentally failed to recognise the power imbalance between the public and the police, who are able to compel us to do certain things. This power imbalance is felt most by women from Black, minority ethnic and migrant communities who commonly experience over-policing and harmful racialised responses from police. By drawing all of this together, we have been able to re-centre the core broader societal issues underpinning male violence against women and girls. We reminded our audiences that true justice means no other women becoming victims of male violence and that CJS responses wouldn’t leave women feeling less afraid. We know that the risk and fear of male violence is woven into the fabric of most women and girls’ daily lives.
In this period we saw a series of announcements and commitments to address VAWG, including abuse perpetrated by serving police officers, from government and police chiefs. However, we did not see commitment and accountability for the meaningful internal work needed to shift the institutional cultures and practices that excuse and enable the harmful behaviour normalised in these institutions, including the scale of police-perpetrated abuse. In addition, we were clear that many of the measures announced were superficial, unevidenced and would harm already over-policed Black and ethnic minority communities, through increased police presence, surveillance and risks of criminalisation.
Other key policy areas
Pandemic response
EVAW, together with Imkaan, Women’s Aid Federation of England, Welsh Women’s Aid, Scottish Women’s Aid and Women’s Aid Federation Northern Ireland issued a statement one year on from our initial joint
10
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Trustees’ report Year ended 31 March 2022
urgent call to action at the start of the pandemic. We reflected on the following themes and why the next phase of the pandemic response must be different than what has happened over the past year so that the Government’s measures deliver for all survivors: funding, support for women, frontline workers, prevention and awareness. The statement makes clear, one year on we cannot go back to “business as usual” after Covid-19. We need a new approach which equally protects all women and girls and ends the societal inequalities that drive violence and abuse against them.
Istanbul Convention
We responded to the Home Office’s fifth annual report on the UK’s progress towards ratification of the Council of Europe’s convention on preventing and combating violence against women and girls, known as the Istanbul Convention. The UK Government signed the Convention in 2012 but nearly a decade on, has failed to ratify it. We highlighted the government’s continued failure to plug gaps in protection and support for migrant women. Full ratification would finally put an end to the ongoing two-tier system of protection for survivors.
Public spending
We worked closely with Imkaan and Women’s Aid Federation of England to bring together almost 30 organisations behind a unified call to the Chancellor, for the prioritisation of strategic funding to prevent and end VAWG, as well as sustainable funding for vital specialist support services. This letter was submitted as our joint submission to the Comprehensive Spending Review. We also provided a comprehensive response to the budget, once it was announced, highlighting a lack of funding for prevention work and VAWG services and support
Football
EVAW, in partnership with The Three Hijabis and Level Up sent an open letter to the CEOs of the Premier League and the Football Association, calling for them to take action against the culture of gender-based violence within their institutions. Football players and the teams they play for have a unique position in shaping the attitudes of boys and men, their behaviour both on and off the pitch is influential, and transforming the culture in football will have a significant impact on wider society.
Prominence of VAWG in key political moments
Within the context described above, local elections were held in England and Wales, including for the Mayor of London. EVAW, in partnership with Imkaan and Women’s Resource Centre held a VAWG hustings attended by 100+ people, chaired by noted broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed. We secured contributions from all the named candidates and representatives from Conservatives, Labour, Greens, Liberal Democrats and Women’s Equality Party to put forward their visions for ending VAWG in London and put forward their pledges and commitments.
VAWG received significant coverage at both Labour and Conservative party conferences with statements made by the PM, Shadow PM and Home Secretary in their speeches. We co-delivered a very successful fringe at Labour Party Conference this year, in partnership with Labour List and supported by Harold Immanuel: How many more? Time for an effective response to violence against women and girls was chaired by EVAW, speakers included Shadow Attorney General, Ellie Reeves MP; Shadow Minister for Safeguarding, Jess Phillips MP; Victims Commissioner for England and Wales, Dame Vera Baird QC; Head of

Policy at Imkaan, Rosie Lewis; and Chief Executive of Women’s Aid Federation of England, Farah Nazeer. The event was fully subscribed, with only some standing room remaining.
Ensuring VAWG is centred in public discourse
In this period there were several breaking and developing news stories which meant that EVAW’s high quality media response was sought significantly more than any other period we can recall. These included the tragic murders of Sarah Everard, Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry, as well as the policing of the Clapham vigil; our judicial review outcome; the Governments Rape Review and VAWG Strategy; the scale of testimonials shared on the Everyone’s Invited platform; and legislative developments. Being a part of these conversations and ensuring that coverage, and the commentary contained within it, is helpful to moving and shaping national conversations away from women and girls’ safety towards women’s rights and freedoms as well as the responsibility of perpetrators and harm of misogyny is critical to our work.
How these issues are talked about and understood has a significant influence on how politicians and policy makers respond. It is critical that women’s organisations are heard in the mainstream media to help move and change public consciousness around the prevalence, persistence, and impact of VAWG. The breadth and reach of coverage also enable us to keep the pressure on politicians and policy makers.
EVAW is a sought-after commentator, able to respond to a wide variety of stories about VAWG at speed, this has meant that we have been quoted regularly in almost every national newspaper (coverage across broadsheets, tabloids and freesheets) as well as magazines and have appeared on all the major broadcast outlets regularly including Today, Channel 4 News, ITV News, Woman’s Hour, as well as a variety of podcasts. EVAW’s social media profile also increased markedly in this period.
Membership
EVAW’s membership grew in this period, to 124 members of which 93 were formal members and 31 were associate members. As a result of a sustained outreach programme, we have been able to address some of the key gaps in our membership, and will continue to work towards this in the next period.
A survey of our members told us that they would most welcome an EVAW Members Forum to create a space for discussing and exploring the ways in which they could take forwards anti-racism work, following the framework provided by the Anti-Racism Working Group Charter. The main focus of the forum was AntiRacism Work in the VAWG Sector. After a presentation on the work of the Anti-Racism Working Group by members of the Working Group, our members broke into small groups to discuss progress and good practices from our own organisations or others observed, and to talk about the challenges and barriers to progress encountered so far. We also explored how can we support each other taking the work forward in our sector and the ways in which EVAW can support. The event was very well attended with 30 attendees representing more than 20 member organisations as well as several individual members.
Organisational development
In this period our Board saw 3 new trustees joining, filling two empty spots and after another stood down. All new trustees are joining the board from EVAW member organisations. Our AGM was a very well attended, lively and engaging event which brought together EVAW members, poetry by Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan and the expertise and reflections of Dr Awino Okech on movement building and practising intersectionality.
12
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Trustees’ report
Year ended 31 March 2022
The EVAW staff team welcomed two new colleagues into key roles that were vacant in this period – Public Affairs Manager and Communications Manager.
We continue to be attentive to organisational fitness, with significant attention to fundraising, employment practices and governance grounded in our values and proportionate to our size.
This period was the last covered in our 2019-2022 organisational strategy, which meant that the team ended the period with significant reflection and evaluation, with a view to a renewed strategy covering the next three years to come. This work was delivered at the start of the next period and will be reported on in the next Trustees Report.
FINANCES
Financial Review
During the year, the End Violence Against Women Coalition’s income was £561,297 (year ended 31 March 2021 £701,117) and expenditure was £455,705 (year ended 31 March 2021 £625,622).
Fundraising
EVAW’s principal funding sources are from charitable trusts and grants and during the year, grant funders included Sigrid Rausing Trust, Oak Foundation, Comic Relief, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, Harold Immanuel IHL Trust, Samworth Foundation, Coutts Foundation, Steel Charitable Trust.
Investments
This year, EVAW reserves were held at Triodos Bank.
Reserves
EVAW’s reserve policy is to aim to have sufficient free reserves to fund the organisation’s running costs for three months and to cover shutdown costs. At 31 March 2022, this is £187,389 – comprising of salaries, running costs, redundancies, shutdown costs including legal fees and maternity costs. The Trustees review this regularly, at Board meetings and at Finance and Fundraising Sub-Group meetings. EVAW’s free reserves at 31 March 2022 stood at £274,256. The reserves policy has been met during the year.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
Financial
EVAW operates in a challenging and demanding area where there are very few certainties over funding. Every year we need to fundraise to keep the charity operating. This is inherently risky and as an organisation we operate strict financial controls and continually review the situation, including regular forecasting. The annual budgets, reforecasts and management accounts are regularly reviewed. EVAW also has a risk register to identify, evaluate and prioritise risks to the organisation.
Key controls used by the charity are:
-
Formal agendas and minutes for board trustees and all committee meetings
-
Detailed terms of reference for committees

Year ended 31 March 2022
-
Annual budget and regular management accounts
-
Formal written policies including authority limits
-
An organisational risk matrix reviewed by the board of trustees
-
An annual business plan and key performance indicators
Operational
The nature of our work presents operational risks. These are managed through the implementation of suitable policies, procedures and processes including staff training, supervision and reporting structures. Through these the Board of Trustees is satisfied that major risks have been identified and adequately minimized.
Acknowledgements
The Trustees would like to express great thanks to all of EVAW’s funders, especially all of the individuals and groups who donated to us throughout the year.

End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities Year ended 31 March 2022
The trustees, who are also the directors of End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd
Independent examiner’s report to the members of End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd
Year ended 31 March 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 18 to 34.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination being a qualified member of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
It is my responsibility to:
-
i. examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
ii. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
iii. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has come to my attention:
a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
i. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
ii. to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; have not been met or
-
b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financials statements to be reached.

End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd
Notes for the financial statements
Year ended 31 March 2022
1 Accounting policies
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 221 China Works, Black Prince Road, London, SE1 7SJ.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 from 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Companies Act 2006. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2 Incoming resources
Income comprises grants, donations and other income receivable during the year. Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. All income transactions are assigned a nominal code, either restricted, designated or unrestricted, according to the type of income eg restricted grant, unrestricted charitable trust. When applying for unrestricted funds from trusts and foundations, most – especially those that are multi-year - are designated for a specific purpose in order to meet our charitable objectives. Unrestricted codes are used for designated as well as unrestricted receipts. All transactions are also assigned a code relating to the revenue stream (QuickBooks Class code) eg Restricted Comic Relief, Unrestricted EVAW (for general donations), Designated Esmee Fairbairn.
1.3 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis.
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and include consultancy and event costs.
Charitable activities include costs associated with the management and running of programmes, for instance, staff salaries, telephone and communication costs, rent, contractor costs etc.
Support costs include central functions and shared overhead costs and have been apportioned to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
20
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd
Notes for the financial statements
Year ended 31 March 2022
Governance costs represent costs incurred by the charity in respect of management of the charity’s assets, organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
All apportionments are made on the basis of time spent on different activities by specific staff responsible for related tasks.
1.4 Pensions
The charity contributes 8% of an employee’s salary. The pension costs included in the financial statements are those incurred during the year.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset on a straight line basis to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. IT items are depreciated at 50% per annum and non-IT items at 25% per annum. Items of equipment are capitalized when the purchase price exceeds £1,000.
1.6 Accumulated funds
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions set by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.7 Going Concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. Therefore, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.8 Donated Gifts, services, facilities
Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of the economic benefit from the use of the item by the charity is probable and economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) general volunteer time is not recognised so please refer to the Trustee’s annual report for more information about their contribution.

End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Notes for the financial statements

by the charity is probable and economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) general volunteer time is not recognised so please refer to the Trustee’s annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated goods, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market, a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
1.10 Basic financial assets
- Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
1.11 Basic financial liabilities
- Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.12 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
- In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Board are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
22
End Violence Against Women Coalition Ltd Notes for the financial statements Year ended 31 March 2022
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The trustees do not believe there to be any judgements or estimates that would be considered critical to the financial statements.
