## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.
**INTRODUCTION:** This is a yearly reflection of WHANS activities for 2024. This reflection outlines WHANS previous activities and outcomes, current projects, partnerships and undertakings, future projects.
**1.OUR PROJECTS:PREVIOUS, CURRENT AND ONGOING:** WHAN has been involved in supporting/Partnering other organisations and their leaders in roles to provide effective services in supporting the community, identifying and addressing other areas of needs. Organisations such as CAD-HR, Family united, Portal-FiAllah, La Fraternite UK, Women of Grace and MARUCCA Childminding Association in supporting marginalised women to gain access to education and job opportunities.
Our initiative and collaboration with other implementing organizations to set-up community safety net for our destitute elderly with no recourse (a weekly financial support) incentive has proven very important based on the impact on the vulnerable beneficiaries whose lives have changed immensely. We are searching for more funding to increase capacity and reach out to more vulnerable elderly/frail individual who are in dire need of this services.
• Research is a vital component of our (WHAN Charity) work and therefore has been involved in research with some organizations like CSA (Centre of Expertise for Child Sexual Abuse), UCL Hospital (Department for Risk and Disaster Reduction) and with students from different Universities across UK. Our involvement in this research is to help WHAN charity to highlight the scale and nature of the problems affecting the Migrant/marginalized communities in UK who are struggling to access main-stream support.
• Our service provision is ongoing with lots of work in identifying the needs and services to address the holistic health needs of our beneficiaries. WHAN Charity working partnership with CAD-HR to implement the COMMUNITY HEALTH and LAW CENTRE has been the highlight of 2024 for Women’s Health Advocacy Network being the pioneer for this project which has been a great success in addressing health inequality for migrants. The CHLC does not only help address the needs of the marginalized communities in Lond/UK but also makes people feel human. It’s open great doors of opportunities for other organization to have a platform to implement their individualized services in a collaborative setting by sharing space and resources. Our vulnerable marginalized communities finally have a Centre they can walked in and get their health needs addressed by professional who understands their health needs and barriers (cultural, language and barriers to support). We (WHAN) are working hard to reach out to more services in light of addressing the holistic needs of our beneficiaries. Our services are tailored to enabled individual’s not just one-off support therefore collaboration is paramount for the charity.
These are some of the activities WHAN has been involved in 2024:
1. To provide ongoing services for our beneficiaries in advocating the needs of victims/survivors of sexual trauma through- Providing personal and professional emotional support to women/ families, referring to available services to address health needs, Trauma journey support and support for mental health issues impacting on their existing trauma e.g immigration, homelessness, child exclusion, lack of access to services etc.
2. Involved in Research in raising awareness of the needs of the BAME communities in London/UK.
3. More Collaboration and Partnership-to help address the holistic needs of our beneficiaries.
4. Providing mentorship for both individuals, organisation and their leaders.
5. The implementation of the Community Health and Law Centre CIC addressing health in equalities for the BAME communities. Implementation of the Social Safety -Net for our elderly destitution with no recourse to public fund to access financial support and other benefits.
6. Ongoing support for our 20 marginalised women through the childminding program.
**2.PARTNERSHIP:** We have recently been accepted by the Integrated Care System/Board of Southeast London in partnership of improving the health of BAME community in Southwark through Community Southwark. We are currently in the stage of Co-Designing of the available fund with ICB/S to ensure fairness and effective outcome to the use of the resources.
I am proud and extremely happy to announce the successful completion of Level 2 childcare course for our 20 marginalised women WHAN Charity has been supporting for the past nine months.
Marucca Association is a project that empowers marginalised community women through childminding training.
WHAN’s work with these women is still ongoing as for us it’s about enabling individuals.
Our next stage is to help them registered their business, meet all legal requirement leading to employment.
I am happy to say that our collaboration with the Centre of Expertise for Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), has enabled me (Founder/WHAN Charity) to become a Practice Lead Practitioner in modifying and improving services across London/UK for child sexual abuse and adult survivors of child sexual abuse through One-year training project funded by Home Office (£15.000) per individual lead.
## **3.FUTURE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:**
WHAN Charity started the year 2024 being homeless which impacted our services greatly due to the complex nature of our activities. There was a lot of people on waiting list who are in desperate need of our services. The opportunity of acquiring Mill Street space through Community Southwark from 03/24-06/2024 and the space at (Bedford Row, Holborn) from Integrate space between 06/24-12/24 helped us to reach out and support more service users in the ideal environment thus making impact.
• We are currently homeless again and therefore has put on hold all new referrals to the Centre. It is extremely challenging to provide our services in isolation in addition to lack of resource.
• It is important to have a workspace as the women we provide our services to needs a safe, comfortable and private space to be able to talk about their trauma. WHAN aims to have a workspace that will help us provide our valuable services without interruption.
• We have recently from 09/24 secure a small funding for some of our project from Funding Differently and Southwark Charity etc. This funding has helped us greatly with our expenses for volunteers and beneficiaries. Also helped us reach out too many women and girls in need. The impact through these funding has been immense. Due to the increase in cases and operational cost, WHAN is seeking sustainability funding to help us provide more services.
• It is a struggle to get and maintain volunteers due to lack of resources. We have recently uploaded an online volunteer application form and job description for a few roles. We are looking for volunteers with experience in working with vulnerable people to help us with the growing number of cases we have each week.
Overall, I feel so proud as the Founder/CEO WHAN Charity after reflecting on the above and the level of recognition within 3 years of implementation of our services despite the challenges in all aspect. Sustainability funding and office Space is still the biggest challenge for us as it is limiting our services significantly. I am therefore asking for help to enabled WHAN Charity to function efficiently and make more impact. Despite the challenges, we are still fully committed in helping women and girls in need that has been through genderbased violence or at risk of becoming a victim. We have seen the evidence of WHAN making an impact and changing lives daily with the services we provide through our success stories and feedback.

Dear Ms Adama Nyama Bah ,
## **Re: Testimony from CAD-HR to the Women's Health Advocacy Network (WHAN)**
## **Subject: Celebrating a Year of Transformative Impact through Collaboration**
It is with great pride and appreciation that we, at CAD-HR, reflect on the remarkable accomplishments achieved through our collaborative efforts with the Women's Health Advocacy Network (WHAN) in the year 2024. Together, we have co-designed and coimplemented the Community Health and Law Centre (CHLC), a groundbreaking project aimed at addressing health inequalities among migrant communities. This initiative, fortified with the expertise of trained community lawyers, has set a new standard for holistic community support services.
The visionary leadership of Mrs. Adama Nyama Bah, the driving force behind WHAN, was pivotal in the development and execution of this project. Her unwavering commitment to championing the rights and well-being of vulnerable populations has been instrumental in bringing the CHLC to fruition. Mrs. Bah’s strategic foresight and dedication were vital in aligning the project’s goals with the needs of the community, ensuring that each step taken was both innovative and effective.
Under Mrs. Bah’s leadership, WHAN has fostered an environment where the integration of health and legal services is more than a strategy – it is a lifeline. The tailored services offered by CHLC are already making a profound impact on our beneficiaries. We have witnessed first- hand how access to essential health services, when paired with legal guidance, removes traditional barriers and empowers migrants to lead healthier, more secure lives. The CHLC has become a flagship model, demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving social justice and equity.
The deeper, wider, and lasting impacts of CHLC's tailored services are reflected in the testimonials of those we serve. For many, this holistic approach has meant the difference
between a life fraught with uncertainty and one filled with hope and opportunity. Beneficiaries report not only improvements in their physical and mental well-being but also a newfound confidence in navigating the legal challenges they face.
The success of the CHLC is a testament to the innovative spirit and resilience of WHAN under Mrs. Bah’s stewardship. It is an embodiment of a shared vision to create a society where every individual, regardless of their background, has access to the support they need to thrive.
We invite current and prospective funders to recognize the exceptional impact of this collaboration. Your investment in WHAN and the CHLC is an investment in a proven model of care that promises continued growth and outreach. By supporting us, you become a part of a movement that is changing lives on a scale that truly matters.
In gratitude and partnership,
Askia Warne (FRSA) (CIArb) LLB, LLM, and BPTC Community and Human Rights Lawyer Founder and Director of CAD-HR Tel: 07535412539 Email: info@card-hr.org

My name is Winston Bobb. I have been volunteering with WHAN (Women's health Advocacy Network) for the past three years. Before I met Adama (founder) my life was in limbo. I felt no drive or purpose. I was overwhelmed by all the personal issues I had at the time and it was very difficult. I met Adama and WHAN help me through all my issues. Working with WHAN has given me a sense of fulfillment. Seeing the joy on client faces with successful cases is truly amazing. The work that WHAN does helps a lot of people in the BAME community in Southwark and beyond and long may it continue.
## **Feedback 2:**
Dear Adama,
I hope this letter finds you well, compliment of the seasons to you and family. I am writing in appreciate for the phenomenal support you have been providing my aunty from the day she was referred to you due to the intention of committing suicide. The support she received from you and team was beyond words and appreciation. Below are her exact words:
“Adama, the referral you received about me was a suicide voice note. Since then, you have been nothing but incredible your support is unmatched. I am 67yrs old, struggling with Cancer diagnosis, homeless, no recourse to public fund therefore no financial or any formal support and have been living in London for the past 22yrs as a destitute. I was very tired and exhausted both physically and mentally of being a Modern Slavery victim in UK for past above years. Without the prospect of help, all I can see is ending it all and I am sorry for receiving a referral like that as there was no hope anymore”.
You answered my call with a promise that you will help, and you did, for the first time someone promise and deliver. The urgent referral for psychological assessment and support was a life changer for my thinking at that time. You and your team’s, dedication and relentless effort helped me get home and a weekly incentive through the non-recourse system. Above all, thank you for escorting me to the hospital for my chemo treatment that was the first day I had an escort which was confirmed by the Matron.
Today I do not have a word to express my gratitude because you have simply transformed my life. I can now make decision of what is important in my life, by eating what I want to eat and when, sleep in my own bed and be free in my home. extend my sincerest thanks to you and team for all that you have done for me and all you do in the community it has not gone unnoticed.
Adama you are a beautiful soul with kind heart, so dedicated, patience and professional in what you do. You made aunt’s journey easier during a difficult and challenging time.
Thank you once again, to you and team for your unwavering commitment and the impact you make in people's lives.

My Name is E.T.J..
WHAN Charity gave me an opportunity to volunteer in a capacity that made me realize my dreams of serving community members at their point of need. The services including immigration, housing, health referrals and other needs.
The privilege to practice in my field of expertise offered me by WHAN Charity is a fulfilment of my heart desires.

THANK YOU WHAN CHARITY
## **Feedback 4:**
Good evening, I heard Adama’s call on LBC today, what an inspiration. I work for the NHS England Screening Commissioning Team, London Region, and your call got me thinking about the barriers that survivors of sexual violence may face in accessing breast and cervical screening, and thought this may be a opportunity to work collaboratively to explore how we support survivors to gain better access to this care. Happy to arrange a teams meeting in the new year to explore this, if that would be something your organisation would like to do. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Kind regards, Y. D.
## **Feedback 5:**
Dear Adama and WHAN Team, I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to intern with the Women’s Health Advocacy Network (WHAN). My time with WHAN has been an incredibly transformative experience, and I am deeply appreciative of the support and guidance I received from each member of the team.
Working across various departments has given me invaluable insights into the organization’s operations and the complexities involved in supporting survivors of gender-based violence. The skills I developed in legal research, policy development, and client interaction are directly aligned with my career goals in law and international relations. I am especially grateful for the chance to contribute to meaningful projects, including researching law and policy, creating educational materials, working alongside clients, and developing safeguarding policies.
The dedication and resilience of both the clients and staff at WHAN have profoundly inspired me. This experience has reinforced my commitment to advocating for human rights and social justice. I am proud of the tangible contributions I made and feel privileged to have been part of such a dedicated and impactful team.
Thank you once again for this invaluable opportunity. I look forward to staying in touch and hope to have the chance to collaborate with WHAN again in the future.
Warm regards,
A.D.
## **Feedback 6:**
## Good evening, Adama,
I just want to express how grateful I am for all the support you have been providing for me. When I met you two years ago, I was homeless, no immigration status, no access to medical/financial support, being exploited by everyone just to survive and a destitute with no hope of survival. I had already give-up in life when I met you because looking at my age (70yrs old) and living the life of destitution/modern slavery for 20yrs. in London, really did not give me any other choice but to give-up in life.
I appreciate your help so much. I am so thankful for having you in my life. I cannot express how much your support has been a blessing in my life. You stepped into my life and transformed it by given me the hope and stability I needed to function and be the human I meant to be.
Your support helped me gain access to medical that I was desperate for due to my health condition. You find me lawyer to help me with my immigration which is in progress with Home Office. Your voice and support have given me some stability in my current accommodation. The weekly financial support you are given me, has protected me from being exploited by other.
There is no amount of words of gratitude that can compensate for the level of your support, dedication, or commitment in changing the lives of people like me. May the good Lord grant you all our heart desires this coming new year. May the good Lord continue to guide and protect you and help you gain more support. I am asking people to support your organization (Women’s Health Advocacy Network) so you can change more lives. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
## L.G.
## **Grant Making Policy:**
The charity makes grant to individuals who are victims of domestic violence both within and outside the United Kingdom. The charity supports other charities and missionaries that share its objectives in advancement of education and training for the public highlighting domestic and sexual violence against women and girls. Volunteers
The charity is grateful to the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in providing services for the charity.
## **Review of Activities**
The charity continues to enjoy tremendous growth in its physical and mental capacity during the year, and in the advancement of women health in accordance with the charity strategy document as contained in our Trust Deed. The charity continues to progress in its search for a permanent building to screen and process victims while waiting for help from the relevant authority.
## **Investment Policy**
The trustees' have decided that at present, funds should be retained in Banks and Building Societies, and as far as possible in interest bearing accounts. Reserves Policy
The trustees' policy is to have unrestricted and uncommitted funds (free reserves) to cover 3 to 6 months of resources expended which equals to roughly £32,000 to £42,000 in general funds.
The Trustees feel that this would enable the current activities to continue if there is a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to then consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. The trustees are continuing to seek additional unrestricted funds to build up its reserves.
## **Principal Funding**
Funding has been provided mainly through donations, fund raising activities and pledges made by trustees and through Gift Aid claims. Pledges are also taken for specific projects.
## **Future Development**
The charity continues to explore various ways of spreading the word on what the charity does in an effective manner. The charity is also looking to grow its donors and attend more conferences to create awareness to make life-changing impact in society.

## **WOMEN'S HEALTH ADVOCACY NETWORK**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
## **1. Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.
## **1.1 Basis of preparation**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.
## **1.2 Going concern**
The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
## **1.3 Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
## **1.4 Donated services and facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the 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.
## **1.5 Income from charitable activities**
Income from charitable activities is recognised over the period to which the income relates. Concert fees are recognised at the date of the event. Membership fees are recognised over
the period of the membership. Rent is recognised over the period to which it relates. Any amounts relating to future periods are deferred.
## **1.6 Other trading income**
Other trading income from non-charitable sources is recognised over the period to which it relates, Any relating to future periods is deferred.
## **1.7 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised when a present legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be estimated reliably. It is inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered.
Direct costs are those costs which directly attribute to its activities. Volunteer Wages and salaries are allocated to direct costs based on an estimate of time spent on charitable activities by staff members.
Support costs include staff costs and are those which do not produce a direct output. Staff costs relate to specific activities and this is reflected in the allocation of payroll costs based on the percentage of time spent.
All costs, including governance costs, are allocated between the expenditure categories of the charity on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are charged directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Support costs and overheads have been calculated by allocating staff time to the level of involvement in the various activities of the Charity.
## **1.8 Taxation**
The organisation is a registered charity and has no liability to income tax or corporation tax on its charitable activities during the year.
Value added tax is accounted for on an accruals basis.
## **1.9 Provisions for liabilities**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
## **1.10 Financial instruments**
Charities preparing accounts normally measure a basic financial asset or basic financial liability on its initial recognition at the amount receivable or payable adjusted for any related transaction costs. However, if initially measured at fair value, transaction costs are not included in the measurement of financial assets or liabilities; instead, the transaction costs are treated as an expense. If extended credit is offered, the accounting treatment depends on those extended credit terms.
The subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities depends on their nature and settlement dates. The carrying amount must be calculated without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred on sale or disposal.
## **1.11 Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.
## **1.12 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets, such as land and buildings, plant, vehicles and equipment, are held to provide an on-going economic benefit to a charity through their contribution, directly or indirectly, to the provision of goods or services by the charity.
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
