Chairwoman’s Report

Welcome to our annual report for April 2022 - March 2023. We have had a busy year! We’re delighted that all of our materials have been CPD accredited with strong praise given by the assessor. We have developed our Expectations of Sisterhood which support course facilitators and participants in ensuring the course is run ethically and positively. Our development of excellent support resources for facilitators including new course videos and activities, along with drop-in sessions, workshops and our annual conference, have made such a difference to women accessing Own My Life courses and those facilitating the course.

Our objectives for 2022/23 were set in June 2021 and we allowed ourselves until March 2023 to complete them. We are delighted to have achieved so many of our goals:

PRIORITY 1: STRENGTHEN ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

PRIORITY 2: SOLIDIFYING FUNDING STREAMS

PRIORITY 3: DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL SYSTEMS

PRIORITY 4: EXPAND REACH

We have achieved so much more than what we set out to do this year including:

Chairing the charity has been a delight for the past year, and I am proud of how we have enhanced our offer to services and consolidated our work. The Board love being part of the Own My Life team, resourcing practitioners across the UK and Ireland and seeing Own My Life make a transformative difference to women’s lives.

C E O R E F L E C T I O N S CEO’s Report

What a year we have had! Not only have we trained almost 200 practitioners to deliver the Own My Life course with women, we have also seen thousands of women access courses across the UK and Ireland.

Over 2022/23 we have had wonderful opportunities to shift from working very organically to becoming more strategic in our approach. Our training has all been CPD accredited (with highly complementary comments from our assessor!). We’ve worked hard to build a comprehensive database, which will enable us to better support those who run the course. We are committed to seeing women get their best support possible from services and so in this year we have developed our Expectations of Sisterhood to encourage and support organisations running Own My Life to do so in ways that ensure both facilitators and women accessing courses are well-supported.

We have also run drop-in sessions and our annual conference to support facilitators. I spent much of March 2023 speaking with course facilitators; learning about the ways Own My Life has been transformational for them and the women they work with. We are incredibly grateful for practitioners’ openhearted and openminded approach to our training and their delivery of the Own My Life course.

We have also expanded the products in our online shop, with beautiful prints and vulva tea-towels(!) available which raise money for our work. We’ve worked with brilliant female artists on these projects and already have ideas for new products to get designed!

I am incredibly proud that we have achieved so much this year. I am grateful to be part of a precious sisterhood and can’t wait to see what’s next!

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.

Aenean ac dui sit amet nibh bibendumros nulla posuere gravida!

The Trustees present their Report together with the financial statements for the period ended of 6 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 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:

The purposes of the charity as set out in our governing document are:

physical suffering experienced as a result of violence against women.

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 contained in the Charity 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).

This has been a year of consolidation, much of the work has been done behind the scenes to ensure we have a strong foundation for greater growth. We are proud to have worked hard to support Own My Life facilitators in their work with women, and are committed to ensure that those working with women subjected to abuse are resourced in joyful, liberating ways.

Comments from women who have participated in Own My Life courses across the UK and Ireland.

1. EXPECTATIONS OF SISTERHOOD: We are committed to

ensuring that every woman who accesses the Own My Life course has a life-changing, positive experience, which aligns with our core values and principles. In this reporting period we have developed our Expectations of Sisterhood which encompass how trainees and their organisation engages with Own My Life training and delivery.

  1. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT: We have developed a comprehensive database and ensure all organisations running Own My Life courses are included within it, along with systems to ensure we are focussing our energies on the right geographic areas and organisations. We have also had all our training CPD accredited!

  2. FACILITATOR SUPPORT: Along with our annual facilitator conference (and party for course participants), we have offered drop-in sessions for facilitators, organised an inperson meet-up at the Million Women Rise March, and offered a workshop for facilitators delivered by experts in the Power Threat Meaning Framework.

  1. NEW RESOURCES: We developed three new Own My Life

course videos. “Positive Relationships” focusses on the ways a healthy partner should behave. “We Are Superpowered” gives a strengths-based approach to trauma responses and celebrates the ways traumatised people survive. “Sisterhood” celebrates women’s participation in the Own My Life course. We have also developed a large-print journal for women with additional visual needs, and the journal and course videos are available in Welsh.

Feedback from women who have attended the Own My Life course

A M A N D A ’ S S T O R Y

Amanda attended the Own My Life course in Northamptonshire. This is her story.

To be honest, I wasn’t interested in the Own My Life course. I’d been on loads of other domestic abuse courses and they hadn’t helped. In fact, they’d left me feeling even more isolated. I can’t tell you how glad I am I decided to try the course anyway.

Back in 2018, I’d been arrested for stuff my abusive partner had coerced me into, but the backlog of COVID meant I was halfway through attending an online Own My Life course when I had to go to court.

I felt really hopeless. I was learning so much on the course, but was now facing a prison sentence. On the morning of court, I packed three sets of clothes for my kids, not knowing whether I would be coming home to them. I hadn’t told them what was going on. It was heart-breaking saying goodbye to my kids with no idea if I would see them later that day or be going to prison.

Prior to attending the Own My Life course, I was constantly being silenced. I thought I had to help my abusive ex-partner. His family kept putting it onto me to help him, but the course showed me that wasn’t helping me or my kids. My kids were on child protection. It was terrifying. Social services treated me as a monster and I questioned myself all the time. It was like we were on two different planets, talking different languages. The Own My Life course gave me the tools to be able to work with the social workers, not against them.

The Own My Life course was the only thing that gave me a voice. I’d felt like I was in a black hole all by myself, but the course changed all that. The course gave me the courage to fight for everything. I knew that he would no longer have control over my life, he would get nothing from me anymore. He couldn’t use me. That it would be over.

The school were putting the kids into counselling during their lessons, which was getting in the way of their friendships. The course gave me the courage to go to the school and challenge how they were working with the kids. I was able to talk the same language as them and I was confident in what I was saying, so they listened to me and things changed for the better. The kids counselling took place outside of school time, which hugely improved their experience of school.

When I went to court, I was able to hold my head up high and stand up straight. You gave me the tools and confidence to face the situation. Prior to that I was cowered and subdued. I’d given up. I didn’t have anyone to fight my corner. You made me a stronger person than I’ve ever been in my life. Even though I’m on my own, through Own My Life, I learned I don’t need someone else to fight my corner, you gave me the tools to do it for myself!

I got a suspended sentence in court, with the judge recognising that I’d turned my life around. I even got an apology from the child protection chair, who acknowledged that she’d “seriously misjudged me”!

The impact has been bigger than just me. Three years ago I had three very scared and clingy children. Now they’ve got so much enjoyment in life! Not only did I go home to them that day after court, seeing mummy stronger has made them stronger.

Our Safeguarding, Complaints, Privacy, and Equal Opportunities policies are available on our website HERE. A skills audit of the current Board of Trustees has been undertaken.

Related parties

Spark is the self-employed partnership of Natalie Collins, founder of the Own My Life course and our CEO, and Andrew Collins. Prior to setting up the charity, Natalie was paid to deliver the Own My Life course via Spark. As Andrew provided administration support for Natalie’s other work, the trustees were confident Andrew would be the best person to provide administration support to the charity. With the support of the trustees, Natalie and Andrew have chosen to remain self-employed. This reduces the workload and cost to the the charity (no payroll etc is needed) and allows Natalie and Andrew freedom to do work with other organisations.

Terms and conditions

Any operational matters which involve payments to Spark require trustee approval with Spark having only read-only access to the charity bank account. Spark’s fees are discussed and approved by the trustees, with any changes to fees or responsibilities reviewed and voted on by trustees.
