Interim Chairwoman’s Report
Welcome to our annual report for April 2020 - April 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has been with us since the beginning of this year and has caused high levels of suffering and struggle, not least the escalation of men’s violence towards women and children. In a climate of increased perpetration, local domestic abuse services have had to radically overhaul their delivery methods in order to reach women, with the pandemic also triggering historical trauma for many women.
Initially, our plans to deliver in-person training across the UK had to be entirely rethought. We adapted the Own My Life course materials and training for online delivery and our work has grown from strength to strength. We trained hundreds of practitioners from across the UK (and beyond) to deliver the course with women and have been excited to hear that the materials are making a big difference to domestic abuse services, particularly at this time.
Our objectives for 2020/21, and the ways we have met them have included:
-
‣[To strengthen and streamline governance structure: After two founding trustees moved on we completed a Skills Audit with our ] other trustees and recruited new trustee Henu Cummins, CEO of innovative Kent charity DAVSS. She has significant experience in charity leadership, domestic abuse responses and a background in law. As a result our board is in a strong governance position. We have approved all necessary policies and have a policy review system in place.
-
‣[To recruit and retain a Chief Executive Officer: As a result of developing a sustainable training model, funded by services paying ] for training, we have been able to secure Natalie Collins’ time for running the charity along with delivering the Own My Life training. She has stated that she would prefer to remain contracted for this role and this has reduced the financial risk to the charity in delivering our work.
-
‣[Funding in place to retain staff: As a result of COVID-19, the funding landscape has become increasingly challenging. This has ] mean that while we have been able develop a sustainable model for training (including paying an administrator and trainer), we are finding business development challenging. We remain confident that the life changing impact of our work means that we will be successful eventually in securing funding for business development . We have developed the Sisterhoodie, a hooded jumper that is available on our website, as a way of raising funds.
-
‣[Training revenue growth: For the majority of 2020/21, we were primarily funded by the Sir Halley Stewart Trust, with revenue from ] training and resource sales being our sole source of income from January. We have seen training and resource sales grow dramatically which has enabled us to build our reserves.
-
‣[Development of chargeable reflective practice sessions: We partnered with an assistant psychologist to pilot a scheme to offer ] Own My Life facilitators group reflective practice sessions, however the uptake for these has been low. The scheme remains on offer, but we don’t expect it to become a significant part of our work.
-
‣[Identification of suitable financial systems: We are grateful to chartered accountant Esther Woollgar for offering pro-bono work ] building us a bespoke ledger for our accounts, which has enabled us to confidently manage the charity’s finances.
-
‣[Creation of bespoke Customer Relationship Management system: Given the amount of training and resources we are providing ] we needed to an appropriate management system. We have been able to use our existing website provider to build this system.
-
‣[Development of robust ongoing evaluation system for Own My Life courses: As a result of offering online course delivery options, ] we have been able to develop the Evaluation Station, utilising Google Forms and Sheets to provide an automated evaluation system for facilitators that we can also use to evidence the impact of the course.
-
‣[Increase number of trained practitioners and women accessing the course: Across 2020/21, we trained 337 practitioners from ] across the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Mexico. We are delighted about how many services have seen the value of the Own My Life course and are pleased that our infrastructure has supported this rapid growth of our work. Many of these practitioners have gone on to deliver the course with women. At least 209 women have started the course online since November 2020, with some additional courses run with women in-person.
I am so proud of everything The Women’s Liberation Collective has achieved this year, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic and am confident that we will continue to grow as we head into the next year. Women who have been subjected to abuse, and their children, are central to everything we do, and I feel privileged to be part of their journey to regaining ownership of their lives. We appreciate all the practitioners who attend our training with open minds and hearts and wouldn’t be able to do our work without their commitment to the course.
I am excited to see how we can continue to do this work as we move into 2021/22.

C E O R E F L E C T I O N S Interim CEO’s Report
This year has been incredible; both in terms of the challenges we have faced and the ways we have overcome them. In a year when so many charities have struggled to effectively continue their work, we have seen the Own My Life course grow from strength to strength, in large part due to the digital imperative that emerged with COVID-19. This has enabled us to deliver training with practitioners across the UK and beyond. We have developed our methods and embraced online training, seeking to be innovative; creatively overcoming the gaps found in online spaces. The extraordinary opportunities of digital delivery have included a trainee participating from Mexico, waking up her neighbour at 7am as she sang with all the other participants, at the top of her voice, as we celebrated sisterhood at the end of a training event.
We have seen the board go from strength to strength, building robust financial systems and developing a sustainable model for our training delivery. This has been a positive and enabled us to look forward to how we can continue innovating and creating, to enable women’s liberation and healing.
Most excitingly, it is amazing to hear the stories of how women’s lives have been transformed and practitioners have been empowered through our work. In everything I do, it is women and their needs, challenges and strengths that motivate and enable me to do this work. I will continue to smash the patriarchy and give women the tools to liberate themselves from male violence and control, confident that our work is making a huge difference.

V I S I O N & M I S S I O N
The Women’s Liberation Collective was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 15th July 2019.
Our vision
1
A world where women are liberated from male violence and control.
Our values
WOMAN-CENTRED: Women and their needs are at the centre of everything we do. Our aim to prioritise women is in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 in which “sex” is a protected characteristic.
----- Start of picture text -----
2
----- End of picture text -----
LIBERATION: We seek to ensure that all women we reach experience equality of opportunity: we also aim to move beyond equality, and work towards a world where women are liberated from male violence and control.
RESISTANCE: This resistance is both collective and individual. As an organisation we will resist the oppression of women and the ways patriarchy harms us all. Alongside this, we recognise that all women find creative ways to resist abusers. Rather than this resistance being honoured, women are often met with scorn and blame. Our work seeks to honour and mobilise women’s resistance to abuse and patriarchy.
INTEGRITY: We hold ourselves to a high ethical standard, striving to act honestly, fairly and consistently and using power wisely and well.
COLLABORATION: We foster collaborative spaces which build sisterhood and resist competitive attitudes. We will work together with charities and other partner organisations to achieve our goals.

Our Mission Statement
We will equip, train and educate women, so that they can take back ownership of their lives from male abusers. We will also work in wider society, to prevent abuse.

The Trustees present their Report together with the financial statements for the period ended of 6 April 2020 to 5 April 2021 for The Women’s Liberation Collective, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“the Charity”).
The Women’s Liberation Collective provides resources for women who have been subjected to men’s violence; and for organisations responding to men’s violence and their practitioners to use with women.
We do this through the Own My Life course, an innovative, creative and educational 12-week course for women.
Our trustees are:
-
‣[(Shirley) Irene Hayes (15 Jul ’19 - ] present)
-
‣[Sarah Moss (15 Jul ’19 - present) ]
-
‣[Liza Thompson (23 Mar ’20 - ] present)
-
‣[(Florence) Anne Lyttle (4 Aug ’20 ] - present)
-
‣[Louise Tullin (4 Aug ’20 - present) ]
-
‣[Sadia Masud (10 Sep ‘20 - ] present)
-
‣[Henu Cummins (10 Dec ’20 - ] present)
The purposes of the charity as set out in our governing document are:
-
‣[To preserve and protect the ] health of women and relieve the distress and psychological, emotional and physical suffering experienced as a result of violence against women.
-
‣[To promote best practice and ] understanding among the public, voluntary and statutory agencies in all matters relating to violence against women and their families and other forms of abuse, their causes, remedies and prevention.
Through the Own My Life course we s u p p o r t o r g a n i s a t i o n s a n d practitioners to enable women to regain ownership of their lives when they have been subjected to abuse or violence by men. This is done through short videos, structured discussions, group and individual activities, and a comprehensive learning journal. It uses multimedia content to explain complex concepts about trauma and abuse in easy to understand video clips, along with videos which evidence how popular culture reinforces or perpetuates sexism, rape culture,
violence, misogyny, disrespect in relationships and abusive behaviour.
We have referred to the guidance c o n t a i n e d i n t h e C h a r i t y Commission's general guidance on public benefit and Code of Governance when reviewing our aims and objectives, governance arrangements and in planning our future activities.
As allowed for small charities, receipts and payment accounts have been prepared for this Report. The Trustees confirm that the Trustees’ Report and financial statements of The Women’s Liberation Collective comply with the provisions set out in Charities SORP (FRS 102).
We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved in the midst of a global pandemic and are committed to continuing to make a difference to women’s lives.

S E T T I N G T H E C O N T E X T
While we intended to begin a subsidised rollout of Own My Life course facilitator training in April 2020, COVID-19 measures meant that in-person training and course delivery became impossible. As a result, 2020 became an unexpected opportunity to redevelop the Own My Life course for online training and online course delivery. Between April - December 2020, we delivered thirteen online training events with 253 practitioners from the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Mexico. Twelve training events were on Zoom; one training event was on Teams. Practitioners (or their organisations) paid a nominal fee of £40 for the training and this included full training and a Zoom Coaching session. This work was funded by the Sir Halley Stewart Trust and the Community Foundation.
It was also important to recognise that most practitioners who train to run the course will not have done online facilitation before. This means they will likely have low confidence and high anxiety about delivering the course online. Also, the training took place in the midst of a traumatic global pandemic. In order to make the online facilitator training and subsequent online course delivery a compelling option, we focussed on creating a powerful positive experience with high quality resources and equipping that would relieve facilitator anxiety and build their confidence.
Moving into 2021, and our grant funding ended, with the COVID-19 funding landscape changing and making it difficult to access funding. As a result, we have begun charging organisations £449 per training place, making the training element of our work sustainable. This is also more affordable for women’s services than other organisations offering similar courses.

Comments from women who have participated in online Own My Life courses.
- THE ONLINE OWN MY LIFE PILOT: The Own My Life course is a train-the-trainer model, with practitioners attending fiveday online facilitator training that then allows them to deliver the course with women either online or in-person within their local context. Trainees receive the course WoManual and gain access to the course e-Hub; through this they can view and use the course videos and other multimedia content.
Through this pilot we perfected our online delivery method and began a more sustained roll-out of the course across the UK and beyond. The pilot enabled us to train a diverse range of practitioners, many of whom would have found in-person training inaccessible due to their location (e.g. Shetland Islands, Orkney, Isle of Man). It also enabled to build our network of practitioners.
- EXPANDED REACH: We have hugely expanded our reach during this year. Our partnership with Welsh Women’s Aid has led to them funding the course materials being translated into Welsh, with a significant proportion of Welsh services training to run the course. We have seen the course delivered across domestic abuse services and also seen some specialist sexual abuse services begin running the course. The map shows where courses are running across the UK and Ireland.
We have also had the opportunity to develop our social media presence, with regular posts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. This has been possible through the volunteer support from Katherine Patterson and in more recent months Sophie Lewis.
- SUCCESSFUL ONGOING TRAINING: Since January 2021, we have been delivering training events with practitioners from across the UK. These have been extremely successful with 96% of practitioners stating the training is “excellent” and 86% of stating the training has “very much” increased their knowledge. 100% of participants said the training met or exceeded their expectations.

During the period up to 5th April 2021, The Women’s Liberation Collective received total income of £98,608.24, of which £13,037.50 comprised grant funding, with £766.81 raised in donations. This income was attributable to charitable activities relating to delivering the Own My Life course.
Expenditure incurred for 2020/21 totalled £86,785.37, all of which related to charitable activities. As we are still in the early stages of our organisation, those who do the work for us are currently self-employed, which means that our staffing costs are integrated within the project costs, rather than being separate to them.
Total funds as at 5 April 2021 were £25,687.73 of which £8,405.76 represented unrestricted funds and £16,281.97 represented restricted funds. Of the restricted funds, £12,651.97 is revenue from training that is to be allocated to training expenditure and £3,630 related to the grant awarded by Awards for All England in March 2020 to be allocated against organisation development. Free reserves, representing unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets totalled £8,405.76.

DI report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Women's Liberation Collective CIO, registered charity no. 1184411, for the year ended 5 April 2021.
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
-
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.
I am content that a proper understanding of the accounts can be reached from the information provided to me. Nonetheless, I have advised that the CIO should, as a matter of urgency, seek legal advice as to the correct categorisation of trading income, and that care is taken to ensure that any applicable taxes are paid.
