- advancing the general public in matters relating to domestic abuse.
- to do all such other things as are necessary for the attainment of the above objects.
## **Appointment, Induction and Training of Trustees**
All members of the Board of Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.
Further trustees will be recruited to fill in gaps in experience and knowledge to bring a stated benefit to the charity.
## **Investment and Reserves Policy**
The Board of Trustees have examined the charity’s need to build a financial reserve and a policy is being developed. This was hindered due to the national lockdown and Covid Crisis.
**Risk Review** The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in those relating to the operations of the charity, the safety of its volunteers and the finance of the organisation and are satisfied that the procedures and systems are in place to mitigate the charity’s exposure to risks. Volunteers’ safety was reviewed regarding the Covid crisis and spread of infection. PPE was given to all staff in contact with clients and Covid training given with strict instructions to follow government guidelines and safety measures to ensure the safety of all and to reduce the spread of infection. The Covid crisis increased the demand on the charity, with an increase in clients needing support. This further prompted financial planning as a priority to be self-sufficient and not depend on grants and funding.
Since the end of restrictions Salford Survivor Volunteers are still conscious of safety for themselves and others and continue to follow government guidelines regarding Covid safety and PPE wearing.
## **Review of Progress and Achievements**
The Board of Trustees are excited about future plans of the charity and acknowledge that the achievements of the past year surpassed what they had initially expected. The Covid crisis changed the way our service was delivered but the trustees were happy with the resilience of the staff and their dedication to the Charity.
## **Highlights of the year**
Setting up the Walk Away for Wings Campaign raising thousands for our Charity and helping those isolated to regain their freedom through exercise.
## **How Salford Survivor Deliver Public Benefit**
The charity’s activities were for the main part of the year via face to face contact, social media platforms, telephone support and group work. Due to the Covid crisis, our support service moved predominantly online, with the expansion of our outreach service to ensure those in need received appropriate help and delivery of basic needs. The help and support given to those accessing the services serves to benefit the individual, their family and the wider community. By empowering others to improve their lives public funds are saved by way of less strain on public resources. We supported more than 1450 people in the past year.
## **Principal Funding**
The main sources of funding were through grants from Forever Manchester, Community Pride, Salford CVS, Sponsorship, Fundraising and donations. And Special thanks to 97 year old Fearless Vera Green for raising almost £6000 walking 100 miles in a 100 days.
## **Financial Review**
2020 to 2021 was our third financial year and the funding was used for a number of projects that continued into the following financial year and was managed professionally and reviewed on a monthly basis. The charity is in a fair financial position with no debts and relatively minimal overheads.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
The Charities aim for the coming year is to continue to expand the current projects and increase the number of volunteers to allow the helpline to be manned 7 days a week and drop ins to be daily and one evening per week. The aim is gain funding to employ staff members via the volunteer pool as they are the most valuable assets to the charity. In addition, the Community shop is to be promoted to ensure those needing items of clothing, basic needs and small household items, can choose their own, giving them their self-respect. Volunteers can train in retail and gain further skills for employment.
We are also going to be running year-round empowering courses Emerge Free and the Freedom Programme to help those in need gain new insight and belief in themselves.
