During the 2023/24 financial year the charity continued to see the demand for its services stay stable due to the needs of the vulnerable young people looked after by the local authority (Buckinghamshire) through Mentoring we provided. The Charity also continued to support those who have previously used our services through any means necessary including but not limited to household items/advocation and one off/ongoing support sessions. 

The charity does not receive any council grant or regular funding and relies on donations from funds raised by ad hoc grant applications. During our previous financial year were able to secure a 3 year running grant for digital resources/unrestricted costs which we used to implement training and ongoing costs. We were also able to secure activity funding from a previous donor for the vulnerable young people we support. The main fixed costs of the charity continue to be activities and purchases made for looked 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 1318 within their care) any sessions offered outside of this agreement are on a voluntary basis. We still have not considered sourcing an employed fundraiser due to the cost of living and how financially viable this would be for us, although we continue to be open to exploring this in the future. 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 long term Mentoring to Young People who have experienced domestic abuse and in turn have been placed for various reasons under the local authority’s care. We have par taken in a Serious case review and offered extensive long term support to a young people to support them through the process. We have held numerous weekly interventions with an array of both male and female young people to include but not limited to the following topics CSE, CCE, Grooming, Healthy relationships, Safe sex, Family dynamics whilst building a safe and trusting environment for the young people to share their highs and lows. We work very hard with professional networks to ensure the best care is offered to in-turn teach the young people we see strong skill sets for their adulthood where they will then live independently.  We also source goods to help lessen their worries in the way of toiletries/household items/birthday and Christmas gifts we are sometimes are the only ones to remember their special days .  The service we offer 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 and many have stayed in touch with us. This year we have also seen some of our young people have babies themselves and we have been able to offer an extended hand to support them through parenting assessments and meet their children. We also include our previous young peoples babies in our Christmas appeals. 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.
