Report of Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

Respeito Ltd isaregistered charity, a companylimited by guarantee, working towards preventing and reducing domestic abuse in the Portuguese-speaking community, but not exclusively resident in the UK. Respeito’s work is guided by the principles of Equality, Human Rights and Social Integration.

Our vision is to empower and support Portuguese-speaking families and individuals in the UK to build safer and happier lives. Our mission is to reduce and prevent domestic abuse in the Portuguese-speaking community in the UK.

Respeito is dedicated to reducing domestic abuse and supporting vulnerable families in the Portuguese speaking community in the UK. We raise awareness of the negative impact of domestic abuse and we provide training, support and information to empower people to become agents of change within their households and communities. Our service users are Portuguese speakers from Portugal, including mainland and islands, from Brazil, and the African Portuguese-speaking countries. In Greater London, we provide empathetic, one-to-one person-centred, holistic packages of support. Our service is confidential, including interpreting and translation and provision of information in Portuguese, free of charge for all Respeito’s beneficiaries.

Trustees, who are also directors of the company, oversee the charity's work. They meet four times a year to consider and agree strategic plans and review activities. The day-to-day activities of the Charity are carried out by two executive directors, working part-time.

Review of Activities

Client Support Service

Thiscore service enables Respeito to prevent and reduce domestic abuse through one-to-one, person-centred and holistic support packages. On 1st April 2024, Respeito had 60 active cases. Between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025, we opened 50 new cases and closed 59 cases, directly supporting 110 survivors during the financial year.

By the end of the reporting period, Respeito continued to provide ongoing support to survivors with arange of needs, including interpreting, safety planning, advocacy, accompaniment to statutory services and welfare support.

Counselling Services

Between 1st ofApril 2024 and 31st of March 2025, 20 survivors benefited from trauma-informed counselling delivered in Portuguese, with 112 sessions completed. This service continues to play a vital role in supporting the emotional recovery and wellbeing of survivors of domestic abuse. This service was implemented with funding from Lambeth Wellbeing Fund and Home Office Mopac Fund.

Walcot Foundation Outreach & Welfare

Theproject ‘A SafeDomestic Environment for Portuguese-speaking Families in Lambeth’ continues to address safety and poverty-related vulnerabilities linked to the cost-of-living crisis. Between April 2024 and March 2025, Respeito supported 33 Lambeth residents through one-to-one welfare and casework support. Over this period, we opened 12 new cases for Lambeth residents and maintained support for 21 ongoing cases. Alongside one-to-one work, 22 outreach sessions were delivered across Lambeth during Year 2, engaging 112 Lambeth residents (and 164 individuals

Page 4 of 24

cumulatively since the start of the project). These sessions provided information on domestic abuse prevention, welfare support, and access to local statutory services. As part of community engagement, Lambeth residents interviewed during outreach completed the Financial Eligibility and Domestic Abuse Occurrence Survey, contributing to a deeper understanding of local needs.

LCF MOPAC VAWG Grassroots Fund

During the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, Respeito continued delivering one-to-one holistic support to Portuguese-speaking survivors through the MOPAC VAWG Grassroots Fund. Over the year, the service supported 42 new survivors (22 between July–December 2024 and 20 between January–March 2025), bringing the programme to 67 survivors supported since January 2024, exceeding the two-year target ahead of schedule. At the end of December 2024, the service held 49 active cases and closed 21 cases in the same period. By March 2025, the number of active cases stood at 51, with 22 cases closed between January and March 2025. During the year, we recruited a Client Support Coordinator (in post since September 2024), strengthening our trauma-informed and holistic support capacity. Across the reporting year, survivors received extensive support including face-to-face meetings, chaperoning, advocacy, and counselling, reflecting the high demand for culturally and linguistically specific domestic abuse services.

LambethWellbeingFund

The FYE 31 March 2025 marked the end of Respeito’s two-year Self-care and Community Resilience project funded by the Lambeth Wellbeing Fund. Over the year, the programme strengthened mental health, confidence and community connection among Portuguese-speaking residents through counselling and wellbeing-focused group activities. As part of the project, Respeito also delivered a Migrant Women Workshop, a Wellbeing & Hydration Session, a Christmas community lunch and an International Women’s Day gathering 72 participants in the reported period, creating safe and supportive spaces at a time of rising isolation and economic pressure.

Lloyds Bank Foundation – Organisational Development Summary

Support from the Lloyds Bank Foundation played a central role in strengthening Respeito’s organisational capacity during the year ending 31 March 2025. Through the Enhanced Programme, the charity benefited from specialist consultancy and support to co-produce a new Strategic Plan, helped refine long-term priorities, and strengthened internal planning processes across governance, fundraising, community outreach, and domestic abuse prevention. The grant also enabled improvements to organisational infrastructure, including the development of a new client database system, strengthened financial resilience through the establishment of a reserves policy, and enhanced governance through training and compliance support. Overall, the Foundation’s investment significantly improved Respeito’s strategic capabilities, internal systems, and long-term sustainability.

UNID@S 2024 – United to End Violence Against Women

On 29 November 2024, Respeito hosted UNID@S 2024 — our third-annual gathering to bring communities together under the theme “United to End Violence Against Women.” The event was made possible thanks to the support of our donors and funders. UNID@S 2024 brought together community members, grassroots organisations and migrant women’s services to reflect, mobilise and raise awareness of the particular vulnerabilities faced by Portuguese-speaking and other migrant survivors — including language barriers, economic hardship and lack of access to information. Through this collaborative space, we continued to strengthen solidarity, build community-led support networks, and affirm our commitment to preventing gender-based violence in migrant and

Page 5 of 24

marginalised communities. UNID@S 2024 brough together 86 attendees including community members, partners, donors and funders.

Menopause Project: Immigrant Women – Periods and Cycles in Transition

During the year ending 31 March 2025, Respeito partnered with Efficacy Eva, You & Menopause and Min A (Migrants in Action) to launch a short documentary:

Immigrant Women: Periods and Cycles in Transition — exploring the experience of menopause across different cultures and migrant backgrounds. The documentary was followed by a community conversation led by health-equity specialist Dr Yansie Rolston, together with guest speakers, fostering awareness, peer support and culturally sensitive discussion about menopause, wellbeing and women’s health. Through this project, Respeito expanded its holistic support offer beyond domestic abuse, addressing intersectional health and welfare needs in the Portuguese-speaking and migrant community. The event held on the 18July 2024 had the presence of 67 attendees.

Ubele/IOUH Reimagining Funding Project

During this period, Respeito served as an integral founding member of the Radically Re-Imagined Funding of Social Issues Group (RRFG), established on 17 July 2024. The Group was formed to prototype and implement a new Grant Funding Draft System (GFDS) designed to strengthen collaboration between funders and frontline organisations working with Black and racially minoritised communities. As a core organisation within the Group and its Project Steering Group, Respeito contributed its specialist expertise on domestic abuse and represented the perspectives of small grassroots organisations supporting Black and racially minoritised women. Over the financial year ended 31 March 2025, the GFDS model was implemented and refined, supporting the wider aim of developing a more equitable, community-led funding ecosystem.

Community Preventative and Awareness Activities

Between April 2024 and March 2025, our preventative work continued to deliver high-quality outreach across the community, demonstrating Respeito’s strong ability to engage Portuguesespeaking residents and respond to their needs. Across multiple projects and funded programmes, we delivered a wide range of activities focused on prevention, empowerment and raising awareness. These included:

Intotal, 225 participants took part in group activities delivered throughout the year.

Page 12 of 24

Donated services and facilities

These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.

Volunteers help : The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts.

Investment income : This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Expenditure

Recognition ofexpenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis. Expenditure includes any Vat which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on raising funds

These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising, trading costs and investment management costs.

Expenditure on charitable activities

These comprisethe costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in thefurtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.

Grantspayable

All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved bythe trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.

Governance costs

These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.

Other expenditure

These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% Straight line

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the Charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Page 13 of 24

Trade and other debtors

Tradeandotherdebtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalentscomprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred. All exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the Charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Page 14 of 24

Pension costs

Thecharity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipts of donated goods, facilities and services

Donated goods, services andfacilities areincluded in the SoFA when received at a value of the gift to the Charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.
