## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES**
The charity's objectives are 'the relief and support of persons who have suffered, or are in danger of suffering, domestic abuse from perpetrators known to them, by the provision of services to advance the education of voluntary groups, statotory agencies and the public, in the causes, signs and effects of domestic abuse and how to support those who have been affected by domestic abuse.
## **b. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES**
Grants are received from various funding organizations, including local government and national charities, to assist the charity to achieve its objectives.
## **c. MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE CHARITY'S PURPOSES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT**
In setting objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to the public benefit. The main activities undertaken to further the charity’s purposes for public benefit are shown in the Review of Activities in these accounts.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES**
## **Message from the Chair**
The Emily Davison Centre (EDC) continues to advance its mission of providing holistic, accessible, and highquality support for individuals impacted by abuse, in alignment with the national strategy for Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG). Our primary goal is to manage the centre effectively and play an active role in influencing policy, legislation, and strategic responses to violence against women and girls. Equally important is our commitment to pioneering innovative approaches that address the needs of the most vulnerable and those affected by intersectional oppression.
Our vision is simple yet powerful: to ensure that all EVAWG services are available under one roof. By bringing together multiple organisations and services, the EDC removes unnecessary barriers for survivors and ensures timely, seamless access to support. This collaborative approach not only drives operational efficiency and reduces costs but also enhances service quality and outcomes for those we serve.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES - continued**
Our 7,000-square-foot purpose-built facility now houses four EVAWG charities and one Housing CIC, with 48 dedicated practitioners and experts. The comprehensive support offered at the centre covers stalking, domestic abuse, coercive control, child sexual exploitation, housing and homelessness, children and young people’s services, honour-based violence, legal and benefits advice, and recovery support, among others.
EDC’s philosophy is rooted in intersectional feminism, recognising that people’s identities and lived experiences must be at the heart of effective support. Our commitment to equality and equity has seen us develop a national by-and-for service, Loving Me, for transgender and non-binary victims of domestic abuse, as well as a dedicated service for women and children with no recourse to public funds. Over the past year, we have also incubated a by-and-for BPOC (Black and People of Colour) service.
The Loving Me service has grown to a team of eight, including a Chief Operational and Policy Officer. Thanks to additional investment from Lancashire County Council, The Seb and Bella Foundation Trust, and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, we have expanded our support for Trans+ victims of domestic abuse. In January 2023, we opened the first Trans+ refuge, and we have since supported the opening of two new safe houses for women with no recourse to public funds. We continue to provide food banks, household grants, and clothing for families in need.
EDC also provides direct support for victims of sexual violence, with renewed funding from The National Lottery enabling us to continue this work for the next year. Our Evolving Service delivers psychological support to adults who have survived child sexual abuse, with 27 individuals supported by our qualified psychologist in the past year.
Over the past twelve months, more than 7,500 individuals have accessed support at the centre. Of these, 1756 were local adult victims of domestic abuse, with additional clients from across England and 361 children and young people. Our service user demographic reflects our inclusive ethos: 95% of adult service users identify as women, 4% as men, and 1% as non-binary, while 7% identify as transgender. Among children and young people, 35% identify as male.
The centre has become a vibrant hub, with regular use of conference and group work rooms. Our recent acquisition of the adjacent lodge and the continued growth of our social enterprise activities have increased our unrestricted reserves, enabling us to recruit additional frontline staff in the coming year.
Violence against women and girls remains a pervasive societal issue, with profound impacts on individuals, families, and communities. In addition to direct support, we engage locally and regionally to raise awareness and promote prevention, including through social media campaigns and delivery of the Healthy Relationships Programme in schools.
The Government’s latest VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) strategy is a significant step forward, providing a clear national framework for tackling violence and abuse. As a centre, we are committed to ensuring that our work is informed by and contributes to this strategy. We will continue to align our services and advocacy with its priorities, such as prevention, early intervention, and improving outcomes for all victims. The strategy’s focus on intersectionality, partnership working, and system-wide change closely reflects our own values and approach. As the VAWG strategy evolves, we will adapt our services to meet emerging needs and continue to play a leading role in shaping best practice both locally and nationally.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES - continued**
I am immensely proud of our achievements over the past year. Our success is the result of the passion, experience, and dedication of our entire team. We are women- and girls-centred, building our services around need and ensuring that every victim receives holistic support. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our stakeholders and the EDC team. The centre is growing stronger every year, and we have clear evidence of the positive impact we are making in the lives of so many vulnerable women, girls, and families. None of this would be possible without the unwavering commitment and hard work of our frontline teams and managers.
## **Amanda Elwen, Chair**
## **Financial review**
## **a. GOING CONCERN**
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Total reserves amounted to £421,761 (2024 - £372.308), of which £286,825 (2024 - £235,845) were unrestricted funds and £134,936 (2024 - £136,463) represented restricted funds.
## **c. PRINCIPAL FUNDING**
The principal funding of the charity was from LCC and Police and Crime Commission

The charity and its property is administered and managed in accordance with the constitution by the trustees named on Page 1 who form the Management Committee.

## **f. RISK MANAGEMENT**
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. These major risks are the impact of short term funding, changes in funding streams, changes to key personnel and changes in local and central government policy.
## **Plans for future periods**
## **a. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS**
In 25/26, the Emily Davison Centre anticipates continued growth in our activities and a further increase in individuals seeking support. We expect demand to rise, with victims of abuse presenting increasingly complex needs—often exacerbated by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, inflation, and poverty.
Our primary priority for 2025-2026 is to ensure that the needs of vulnerable women and girls continue to be met, and that all service users can access high-quality, timely support. We anticipate a sustained increase in referrals, driven by wider economic challenges impacting those experiencing domestic and sexual violence.
To address this, we are committed to expanding our resources and capacity while proactively engaging with funders, stakeholders, and private investors to secure the sustainability and future growth of the Emily Davison Centre.
As an innovative and growing charity, our cost-effective model and improved outcomes for victims of violence and abuse have attracted national recognition. To further evidence our impact, we will collaborate with the International Connect Centre at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) for an external, independent evaluation.
In line with the Government’s VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) strategy, our strategic priorities for the next twelve months include:
- Further developing prevention work and early intervention services to stop abuse before it starts
- Expanding and strengthening our multi-agency partnerships to ensure comprehensive, coordinated
- Increasing income through social enterprise activities, room rentals, and training offers
- Building capacity within our services and providing additional resources to meet growing complexity and
- demand
- Sustaining our current level of direct service delivery
- Maintaining and expanding food and clothes bank initiatives
- Strengthening our ‘by and for’ community services to ensure that all voices and identities are represented
- in our support offer

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT**
The Trustees (who are also directors of The Emily Davison Centre for the purposes 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. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 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 judgments and accounting 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 operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE EMILY DAVISON CENTRE (the 'charity')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
As the Trustees of the charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of (enter body here), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **THE EMILY DAVISON CENTRE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
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 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Emily Davison Centre 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.
## **1.2 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice**
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.
No restatements were required.
## **1.3 Company status**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
## **1.4 Income**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated 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.

## **THE EMILY DAVISON CENTRE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
## **1.6 Investments**
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.
## **1.7 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **1.8 Cash at Bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **1.9 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.10 Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **1.11 Pensions**
Pensions are paid into personal pension plans. Any amounts outstanding at the year end are showin in creditors.
## **1.12 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
