Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Introduction
The trustees of Women of Worth (WoW) present their annual report for the year ending 31st March 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note one to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Constitution and the Charities Act 2011 and "According and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the U.K and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from | January 2016)
Chair's Report
I am pleased to act as chair for this current year and to date, and report on the activities, achievements and performances as follows:
The Women of Worth charity was registered on Ist November 2016 to continue the excellent work started in early 2016 as a non-profit organisation.
The last twelve months we have seen an increase of the numbers of vulnerable women presenting from the NHS, Mental Health Services, Probation, Police, and local community groups. This appears to be against a backdrop financial hardship caused by the current economic climate affecting the cost of living.
We have responded to this increased need by providing more food and essential items packs. In addition, we are working in partnership with other services such as food banks to link our women to local venues where they can access resources. We have responded to the Cost-of-living crisis by facilitating cost of living sessions in both one-to-one settings and groups. We undertake benefit checks to ensure that women are receiving the correct benefits, we provide information on benefits including the Government's Cost of Living payments and signpost them to where they can help with claiming, for example Citizens Advice. We have also focused on saving money on energy including sessions on "Heat the Human, Not the Home' and providing 'Belly warmer’ packs.
We continue to raise awareness about the impact of Menopause and co work with Bury live well service, courses are in house but we are also able to access courses at the Bury castle leisure centre. An increase in referrals from women experiencing domestic abuse, has led to us putting on more groups such as the New Directions Programme. We continue to work closely with partnership agencies for example Safe Net, IDVA, and Victim Liaison to offer ‘wrap around’ support for such clients. For all women who use the Centre we continue to maintain and develop links with services such as Housing and Bury Live Well Service to ensure they access support to meet their needs.
We also have in house citizen advice worker who provides information advice and guidance.
We were successful in acquiring funding including the National Lottery (Community Fund) in 2020 which finished Mar 2024. We secured funds from Outreach of £9400.00 per year which will continue. Throughout the year we have also received £10000 from Lottery, £10000 Garfield and Weston, Cost of living £2000 and postcode lottery £25000 funding . Funding received from donations included from local councillors. Over the next year we will be identifying more funding opportunities and pursuing bids.
In addition, we have expanded our self-funding activities attending craft fairs and events such as 'pop up' shops which have provided an opportunity to make money from the sale of items created by the women as part of our programme of therapeutic well-being. Such events also enabled us to raise awareness about our charity and network. Over the year we have raised an excess of £6,000 from these activities.
We continue our involvement with GMWSA (Greater Manchester Women Service Alliance), and we are pleased to say that the contract was renewed. The contract includes continued provision of needs assessment, support planning and interventions for women who attend the centre who are in the criminal justice system. The continued work includes preventative work by engaging clients with the most appropriate services and support. Service user feedback acquired by completion of the satisfaction questionnaire completed by women shown below. Service User Feedback (taken from Questionnaire) April 2023 to March 2024.

Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Introduction
The trustees of Women of Worth (WoW) present their annual report for the year ending 31st March 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note one to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Constitution and the Charities Act 2011 and "According and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the U.K and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from | January 2016)
Chair's Report
I am pleased to act as chair for this current year and to date, and report on the activities, achievements and performances as follows:
The Women of Worth charity was registered on Ist November 2016 to continue the excellent work started in early 2016 as a non-profit organisation.
The last twelve months we have seen an increase of the numbers of vulnerable women presenting from the NHS, Mental Health Services, Probation, Police, and local community groups. This appears to be against a backdrop financial hardship caused by the current economic climate affecting the cost of living.
We have responded to this increased need by providing more food and essential items packs. In addition, we are working in partnership with other services such as food banks to link our women to local venues where they can access resources. We have responded to the Cost-of-living crisis by facilitating cost of living sessions in both one-to-one settings and groups. We undertake benefit checks to ensure that women are receiving the correct benefits, we provide information on benefits including the Government's Cost of Living payments and signpost them to where they can help with claiming, for example Citizens Advice. We have also focused on saving money on energy including sessions on ‘Heat the Human, Not the Home' and providing ‘Belly warmer' packs.
We continue to raise awareness about the impact of Menopause and co work with Bury live well service, courses are in house but we are also able to access courses at the Bury castle leisure centre.
An increase in referrals from women experiencing domestic abuse, has led to us putting on more groups such as the New Directions Programme. We continue to work closely with partnership agencies for example Safe Net, IDVA, and Victim Liaison to offer ‘wrap around’ support for such clients. For all women who use the Centre we continue to maintain and develop links with services such as Housing and Bury Live Well Service to ensure they access support to meet their needs.
We also have in house citizen advice worker who provides information advice and guidance.
We were successful in acquiring funding including the National Lottery (Community Fund) in 2020 which finished Mar 2024. We secured funds from Outreach of £9400.00 per year which will continue. Throughout the year we have also received £10000 from Lottery, £10000 Garfield and Weston, Cost of living £2000 and postcode lottery £25000 funding . Funding received from donations included from local councillors. Over the next year we will be identifying more funding opportunities and pursuing bids.
In addition, we have expanded our self-funding activities attending craft fairs and events such as ‘pop up' shops which have provided an opportunity to make money from the sale of items created by the women as part of our programme of therapeutic well-being. Such events also enabled us to raise awareness about our charity and network. Over the year we have raised an excess of £6,000 from these activities.
We continue our involvement with GMWSA (Greater Manchester Women Service Alliance), and we are pleased to say that the contract was renewed. The contract includes continued provision of needs assessment, support planning and interventions for women who attend the centre who are in the criminal justice system. The continued work includes preventative work by engaging clients with the most appropriate services and support. Service user feedback acquired by completion of the satisfaction questionnaire completed by women shown below. Service User Feedback (taken from Questionnaire) April 2023 to March 2024.
