The Voice of Domestic Workers

Trustees' Report

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The objects of the Charity are:

  1. The prevention and relief of poverty among migrant domestic workers and their dependants living (temporarily or permanently) in the UK by means including but not limited to providing or assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare and legal advice.

  2. To preserve and protect the physical and mental health of migrant domestic workers and their dependants living (temporarily or permanently) in the UK.

Objectives, strategies and activities

The Charity carries out its purposes through a variety of activities:

Educational Programmes and Wellbeing Support

We offer weekly classes and training workshops for migrant domestic workers in IT, English language, and financial wellbeing, alongside creative projects and specialist support.

Class Attendance:

Our IT classes help members develop digital skills and build confidence in using computers. Financial Wellbeing classes, run in partnership with TAYO, support members with budgeting, pension advice, and personal financial guidance.

We also work with a �ualified counsellor who specialises in supporting people with complex needs, including victims of abuse.

The Future Voices Programme

Future Voices 3:

Future Voices 3 held particular significance as it marked the culmination of our three�year collaboration with Sounddelivery Media, who successfully transitioned the project to Voice of Domestic Workers. The programme has now been redesigned to be co�led by Future Voices alumni, ensuring sustainability and peer leadership. The programme launched in �une 202�and concluded in March 2025 with a heartfelt celebration for the twelve participants, who presented their stories at the Wellcome Collection in �ondon.

Key Skills Developed

�articipants developed a comprehensive range of advocacy and communications skills:

Leadership and Public Speaking

Digital and Social Media

Media Engagement

Advocacy and sharing our experiences

We provide a space and support structure to allow Migrant Domestic Workers to speak out about the value of their work and their entitlement to rights through our classes in English and presentation skills. This enables us to provide speakers for events held by other organisations that can communicate the experience of migrant domestic workers in the UK to raise public awareness of the plight of domestic workers in the UK.

Overseas Domestic Worker (ODW) Visa Campaign:

Campaigning to Restore Migrant Domestic Worker Rights:

Following �rime Minister Rishi Sunak's decision in May 202�to call an early election for ��uly, we used our ESO�classes as a space to discuss the election and brainstorm strategies for advocating for Domestic Workers' rights. Members collaboratively developed a manifesto and pledge, which we sent to M�candidates seeking their support. The pledge reached both �abour and �iberal Democrat candidates. We successfully secured the backing of Bell Ribeiro�Addy, M�for Clapham and Brixton Hill, where many of our members are employed.

Ministerial Meeting �Home Office:

On 8 �anuary 2025, VODW met with Home Office Ministers �ess �hillips (Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls) and Seema Malhotra (Migration and Citi�enship), alongside the Modern Slavery Unit. We were joined by Kalayaan, F�E�, and Diana Holland (retired Assistant General Secretary of Unite the Union). The meeting focused on urgent reforms to the Overseas Domestic Worker (ODW) visa. We submitted evidence on issues raised during the meeting and agreed to follow up with further recommendations.

Trustees' Report (continued)

I�O C189 Domestic Workers Campaign:

While we didn't advance in this campaign, the education and employment rights training provided to our members marks a promising development for domestic workers. It paves the way for them to exercise their collective bargaining powers, allowing Migrant Domestic Workers to assert their rights with greater effectiveness. �abour supported the I�O C189 in 2010, and with a �abour government currently in power, there might be opportunities to revive the discussion.

Recognition for Our Advocacy Work

The Voice of Domestic Workers was shortlisted for three UK Anti�Slavery Day Awards during the 202��2025 year end:

●Reducing Vulnerabilities (Advocacy): Our Director, Marissa Begonia, was recognised for her work in reducing vulnerabilities faced by migrant domestic workers

●Empowering Survivors' Voices: VODW Future Voices, in collaboration with Sound Delivery Media, was shortlisted for amplifying the voices of survivors

●Best Written Broadcast �iece: Channel �News' feature 'The domestic slaves rescued from �ondon's richest street', which highlighted our work and the experiences of migrant domestic workers

Project Collaborations:

ATLEU Partnership: Building Pathways to Employment

AT�EU, in partnership with Voice of Domestic Workers, secured an Explore grant from �ropel to address the lack of representation of trafficking survivors within the advice sector. �ropel's approach focuses on systemic change by engaging with entire systems, tackling root causes rather than symptoms, and building shared understanding of how systems can transform. During 202��2025, we completed the report on our exploration phase, which identified key enablers, barriers, and recommendations for successful recruitment and employability programmes for trafficking survivors. Building on these findings, we have begun planning the implementation phase and designed a pilot programme that responds directly to the research insights, addressing the barriers identified and leveraging the enablers uncovered during our exploration.

Hard Graft Exhibition - Wellcome Collection

In 202��2025, we collaborated with the Wellcome Collection on a large�scale contemporary art piece for their exhibition 'Hard Graft', which explores experiences of physical work and its impacts on health and the body. Our contribution forms part of the Domestic Space section, which focuses on labour within the home, including the work of domestic workers, mothers, carers, child carers, and hotel room cleaners. This section examines gendered work practices, unrecognised affective labour, and exploitative dynamics that take place behind closed doors.

This ambitious project re�uired significant commitment from our member participants. Through their dedication and heartfelt effort, we secured visibility for our cause on a prestigious platform, reaching new audiences. The collaboration also provided valuable organisational experience for managing future partnerships.

Public benefit

The Trustees consider that all of the activities summarised above, provide benefit to both our members and the wider community of (migrant) workers and those that live in the areas that our members reside.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the re�uirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

�age 3

The Voice of Domestic Workers

Trustees' Report (continued)

Financial review

The charity had a deficit on unrestricted funds of �27,660 (202��surplus of �60,120) for the year. Together with the accumulated surplus brought forward from previous years, the company now has an accumulated surplus on unrestricted funds of �91,�58 (202���119,118). Restricted funds carried forward at 31 March 2025 amounted to �5,000 (202���1,826).

Policy on reserves

The charity holds free reserves of �91,�58 (202���118,951) at the year end. These are the unrestricted funds less the designated funds and the unrestricted fixed assets. The trustees have established a reserves policy based on the need to hold funds as identified in the charity's risk reviews. The reviews identified that it would be prudent to hold the e�uivalent of two months expenditure in reserves. This amounts to approximately �25,000. The charity reviews the reserves policy on a yearly basis.

Plans for future periods

Activities planned to achieve aims

Rise and Lead Fellowship Programme:

This two�year project is delivered through a partnership between the Anti Trafficking and �abour Exploitation Unit (AT�EU), Voice of Domestic Workers (VODW), and the Southeast and East Asian Centre (SEEAC). The project pilots a 12�month fellowship programme creating an inclusive pathway into employment within the advice sector for individuals with lived experience of trafficking, modern slavery, and migration. Fellows undertake a combination of on�the�job training at AT�EU and frontline advice experience through work placements at SEEAC and VODW. The project builds on findings from joint research undertaken by AT�EU and VODW, published in the report 'Untapping a �ower: Why Employing Survivors Matters' (�uly 2025), funded by City Bridge Foundation.

Organisational Resilience

We are focused on strengthening VODW's internal capacity to ensure long�term sustainability. Our priority is securing funding for core staff and key freelance professionals, enabling us to expand our services and better support our members. This will allow us to play a stronger role in the migrant justice movement. We will also also develop our internal strategy to improve our ways of working and organisational effectiveness.

Empowerment through Future Voices

Our Future Voices Revolution leadership programme will now be delivered entirely by VODW, with graduates of the original programme leading the initiative alongside partner organisations. These alumni will continue to develop skills to speak publicly, influence policy, and mobilise their communities, drawing on learnings from past programmes. Up to 12 participants will receive training over six months, deepening their knowledge of employment rights, immigration issues, and organising strategies that align with VODW's advocacy objectives.

Strengthening Partnerships

We are committed to building partnerships to dismantle harmful laws and policies affecting migrants. By fostering solidarity and addressing root causes of injustice, we aim to build collective power within migrant communities and connect with broader social justice issues. Through annual campaigns, we will raise awareness, promote migrant rights, and drive systemic change, contributing to a just and inclusive future for all.

We have an induction document that is given to all new trustees once voted in by members. This document includes an introduction to the charity, a description of their duties and responsibilities, a trustee person specification as well as person specifications for chair, vice�chair, and secretary�treasurer.

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is re�uired and the amount can be measured reliably.
