**Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recomended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) Effective 1 January 2015. 

Established 1st September 2009, Hawa Trust Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

Hawa Trust is committed to eradicating FGM  in the UK, especially among African, Asian and Arab communities. Girls and young women from African communities are normally taken to Africa to undergo FGM. This is a dangerous practice which has devastating physical, psychological and emotional effects on the victims. We also address issues relating to HIV and AIDS, and domestic violence. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Charity is controlled by its governing document, articles of association, and constitute a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The legal responsibility for the election of new trustees to Hawa Trust lies with the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Board recognises that it has only limited control over the election of trustees at the AGM. It is accepted that Hawa Trust members should be able to elect people to the Board who they believe will best represent their interests. However the existing Board members also have a responsibility to ensure that the needs of the organisation in terms of governance are met by those people elected. The Board seeks to do this by adopting a system of recommending Trustee appointments to the membership using the steps detailed below. The membership will then decide to elect a recommended candidate or to appoint another person to the board. 

Trustees can delegate some aspects of recruitment of Trustees to Management, but they ensure that they retain overall responsibility and control of the recruitment, selection and induction processes. In recruiting new trustees, the existing trustees and management act in the best interests of Hawa Trust and in accordance with the Charity Commission directives as laid out in CC30.

## **Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

All trustees are expected to attend: 

- Volunteer induction training 

- Trustee induction session 

- Any other update training of relevance to Board members 

As part of the induction process all trustees receive copies of the following: 

- Outline of current boards skills and experience 

- A copy of the previous year's Annual Report and Financial Report 

- A copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association (governing document) 

- A copy of the previous Board meeting minutes (once agreement for appointment has been made by the Trustees) 

- Charity Commission CC3 - The essential trustee: What you need to know 

- Charity Commission CC60 - The Hallmarks of an Effective Charity 

- Copies of the trustee handbook with all current up to date policies 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.  The trustees confirm that they regularly review the significant risks facing the Charity and have systems and procedures in place to mitigate against those risks. The risk policy has adopted a risk mapping methodology that is applied to each identified risk, assessing the likelihood of it occurring and the severity of the impact of occurrence on the Charity.  The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-to-day monitoring of risk and reporting to the Trustees. 

## **Trustee meetings and actions** 

The Trustees are required to be meeting regularly in order to provide oversight and support to the charity as well as work with the staff team to achieve our project outcomes for the improvement of the welfare of our beneficiaries. Over the past year we have met at times online in order to accommodate some trustees who had travelled and at other times at the new office of the charity. These meetings have involved accepting reports from the staff team, responding to queries from funders, making future plans for the charity, exploring partnerships for more effective working, and examining the charity’s financial situation so as to provide advise on improving our financial performance. As the demand for our services is growing due to the cost of living crisis and the needs of our deprived women beneficiaries, we have discussed the possibility of increasing our staff strength by hiring part time staff and more volunteers. However, because of financial constraints some of these plans could not be implemented. We are pleased to welcome Ms Samuella Sillah into the Board; she is a public health practitioner and so brings her experience into our women’s programmes.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

## **Our charity’s objectives include:** 

1) To protect and preserve the physical and mental health of women, and girls from BME communities in particular by: 

a) Campaigning to raise awareness of female genital mutilation (FGM) and the violence against women which arises as a result of the practice of FGM including child marriage, child trafficking and domestic violence; 

b) Providing support and assistance to deal with the challenges which women and girls face relating to and resulting from FGM, HIV/AIDS and domestic violence; 

This past year has been a very eventful and successful year for our charity. We are just coming out of lockdown and many of our beneficiaries have been severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. We have worked diligently to support our beneficiaries thanks to the help of several funders, and provided resources for them to cope with their various challenges. 

## **Public benefit** 

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. For the purpose of this clause, "socially excluded" means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: youth or old age, ill health (physical or mental), race, and disability, ethnic origin, religion, relationship and family breakdown. Hawa Trust sensitises the local community through campaigns, trains volunteers, parents and carers, organises conferences, seminars and workshops, collaborates with community members, churches, mosques and cultural centres, advocates for victims and lobby leaders and MPs. 

We also provide support to FGM and DV victims through referrals, support and a helpline. We organise drama, cultural evenings, women’s meetings, girls support meetings, social media events, debates and information evenings especially for young people. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Main Activities** 

Over the past year we engaged in the following **main activities** : 

## **One to One Support for Victims of FGM and Domestic Violence (DV).** 

This is one of our main activities and is much in demand over the years. We have seen that because of the cost of living crisis and other challenges families and couples face there has been an increase in levels of Domestic Violence (DV) and FGM. We received over 70 calls and referrals at our offices for help from local agencies, individuals, charities and concerned families. With support from our funders, we had both remote and in person one to one sessions with victims and those at risk. As per our constitution, we provide VAWG victims and those most at risk with skills, reporting options and safe spaces where they can regain confidence, learn new skills, discover resilience and are referred for specialist support. As a result, 60 were referred for housing, education, benefits, immigration and DE infibulation to relevant medical establishments.

**Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

## **Monthly women’s meetings: “You Are Not Alone”** 

While One to One Support for FGM and DV victims is good, it is not enough; they need sessions to meet in groups and engage with victims and peers going through similar experiences. We therefore organise monthly special meetings for vulnerable women victims and those at risk of FGM and DV at our office. It is designed to provide a safe space for them to express their experiences, seek advice and make connections with people facing similar challenges. In addition, the sessions have been enriched by activities, cooking sessions, benefit advice and practical talks by various public health, medical and social work professionals on a wide range of topics including the law and DV, menopause, reporting abuse, benefits, diabetes, healthy eating, seeking help, rights and personal development. Around 70 FGM and DV survivors benefited from our monthly women’s support sessions. 

## **Physical and mental exercises: Free yoga classes for vulnerable BAME women** 

This is one of our most popular and well-known activities. These weekly yoga exercise classes for victims and those at risk of FGM and DV have been going on for years in Hackney. Victims of DV and FGM really need mental and emotional resilience and stamina so that they can recover from abuse. We also provided refreshment and transportation for vulnerable women to enable them to attend the exercise classes. We asked participants and the feedback has been very positive. They have stated the physical, mental and emotional benefits they have experienced. A total of 90 women gained physical and mental resilience through our free yoga and exercise classes. Feedback from questionnaires and interviews showed that 88% had increased confidence, better sleep, less stress and less FGM and DV flashbacks. Many did not need to go to hospital for minor ailments. 

## **Health Awareness raising** 

The charity received funding to raise awareness on the prevention and transmission of various illnesses including mpox, as well as on the need for all to take vaccines for seasonal ailments like flu and covid-19. Our public awareness raising including working in the streets, roundabouts, estates, markets and mosques. We engaged especially with Black and Caribbean youths to dispel myths about the diseases which are being spread on social media. We produced information in local languages of migrants who had low literacy levels and worked alongside the clinics. We reached out also to undocumented migrants who were afraid to visit clinics because of their immigration status. These outreaches went in addition to our normal services on DV and FGM. Working with the local mosques and with the imams and local leaders proved to be very rewarding. 

One of the important tools we use is our WhatsApp group for vulnerable women. This platform brings together women from a wide variety of backgrounds and we inform them of the latest news on the virus, FGM and DV. We use the platform to announce activities and also to eliminate many myths that people have about various health and social issues.

**Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

## **Food and practical support** 

We have realsied that there is a need to provide a ohlistic support for our beneficiairies. In addition to our services we need to provide food and similar proactical supprot for them.  We have been receiving funding to provide nutritional support for vulnerable women to improve their nutrition and health levels, as well as reduce the impact of domestic violence and neglect. As a result we have bulk purchased food and other household items which our vulnerable beneficiaries have stated that they are in desperate need of: these have included: dry rice, vegetable oil, tin tomatoes, sardines, and other tinned products. With the help of volunteers we distribute these items to vulnerable immigrant BAME women both at our office, Vi Forester Community Centre, and at the homes of the elderly and disabled women. These provisions are advertised through leaflets in the community and on our social media platforms including our WhatsApp group where many vulnerable BAME women are members. Feedback has shown that most welcome the food support but the need is great and increasing. 

## **Evaluation methods** 

From the onset of our project, we have built a culture of reflection and analysis. We adopted the participatory evaluation style which is a positive model for group discussions, analysis, problem-solving and corrective action. The advantages of this include 

• Building mutual responsibility thereby strengthening their involvement and commitment to the project 

• Contribution to improved communication with them and with other stakeholders - for example their parents and guardians 

• Increasing their understanding of the project and enhancing their own personal development 

• Addressing the appropriate issues of concern and utilising the available resources among them. 

• Providing their sense of ownership of the project with the potential of learning more about the girls. 

## **Training and supporting our Community Champions** 

Our great work in the community cannot be accomplished without our community champions. We provide regular training and refresher sessions for them on FGM, DV and mpox and Covid infections. They are the ones who go into the communities with leaflets to raise awareness with people. They have been key to disseminate credible information on the transmission and prevention of mpox and Covid-19. We especially targeted the large number of myths and misinformation going on about the virus and infections spread among our Black communites through tik tok and Facebook. Some of them said that the vaccine was designed to make Blacks infertile or  to use Blacks as guinea pigs like in the tuskegee project. 

> Page 8 



**Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

To carry out these, we used information from Hackney Public health and governemnt sources to counter such misinfortion and we provided material in accessible langiages of migrants who had low literacy levels. We also had jingles and messages sent by WhatsApp to our beneficiaries to inform them to take the vaccine and that it is safe. We also went into the mosques and streets to encourage vaccine uptake and answer questions raised especially by Black youths who are very skeptical about the virus. 

We also send our vounteers and communtiy champions to visit the disabled and elderly; they have helped them in medication collection as well as reminding them to take their medication. They have helped those who qualify to access benefits like housing and fuel allowance, and made referrals to the council and other local agencies. 

## **AWARDS** 

Our work has been recognised through various awards over the past year. 

These include: 

- Anglia Ruskin University Alumni Voluntary Service Award 2024 

- True Honour Award 2024 from IKWRO UK 

- Points of Light Award from the UK Prime Minister 6[th] Feb 2024, from PM Rishi Sunak

**Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Board of Trustees has reviewed the reserve policy of the organisation and will do so annually.  The decision on the level of reserve depends on the level of unrestricted funds available.  They decided that the current level of reserve should be maintained at least at a level equivalent to approximately three months' expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of any significant drop in the organisation's funding, they will be able to continue with current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Funds utilised during the year came from the following grant making bodies listed below. City Bridge, City of London, ROSA, National Lottery, The London Community Foundation and GLA- Greater London Authority.

## **GOING CONCERN**

**Hawa Trust Limited Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 January 2024** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Hawa Trust for the purposes of company law)  are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS102 the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.  In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 

- charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and charities act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

**Independent Examiner's Report of Hawa Trust Limited** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 January 2024 set out on pages eleven to eighteen. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity 

- Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

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 you as 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 statements below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
