During the 2022/23 financial year the charity saw the demand for its services continue to stay stable due to the needs of vulnerable people within the community.
The charity does not receive any council grant or regular funding and relies on donations from funds raised by ad hoc grant applications. During this financial year we were able to secure a 3 year running grant for digital resources/unrestricted which helped massively with purchasing resources and enabling us to look into future training where an allocation was made.
We were also able to secure activity funding for the vulnerable young people we support. The main fixed costs of the charity activities and purchases made were for looking after young people/care leavers. The staff costs stayed the same as this was maintained by an agreement with Buckinghamshire Children’s Social care where they pay a monthly fee for the Charity (CEO to Mentor young people aged 13-18 within their care).
We have not looked to source a new employed fundraiser due to the cost of living and how financially viable this would be for us, although we may explore this in the future when we are more financially able. Despite the challenges faced by many small charities Domestic Abuse Survivors continues to offer a unique service to those in need. Unlike many other providers we provide intensive Mentoring to Young People who have experience domestic abuse and in turn have been placed for various reasons under the local authority’s care.
We also source goods to help lessen their worries in the way of toiletries/household items/birthday and Christmas gifts. We also undertook weekly group cooking sessions within Semi-independent settings to enable relationship building. This has been very successful and a lot of positive relationships have been made and change has come that will carry young people through into adulthood.
All of the Young people we have worked with have reported positive feedback for the service we offer. We have no links to prescriptive networks or faith organisations. The work of the charity is only possible due to out generous donators, distributing goods we source at a reduced cost and contracts we have been able to source through hard work.

## **IDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **Report to the Trustees of Domestic Abuse Survivors (Charity Number 1183864) on the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act
- follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act)
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
