been immensely valuable to the people we
have worked with. We have working with
societies most vulnerable women, girls
and have dealt with complex issues such
as domestic and sexual abuse and mental
health. We have been able to share
strategies to help them cope emotionally.
These strategies have also had an
immediate impact. We have supported any
women and children who have been
affected by long waiting lists for
counselling, many of whom have not
needed counselling after receiving our
support. The wide impact has also been
significant as our support has meant
women and children have developed
coping strategies which has meant they’ve
managed better in their homes and family
situations, they have developed healthier
relationships etc.
We have also supported women and girls
with vouchers to help with the cost of living
crisis.
We have also opened a 5 bed refuge to
provide emergency accommodation to
victims of domestic abuse.|

## **Independent examiner's report**
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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
(i) examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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.
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, and the requirements:
(i) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act 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.
