Organisational Structure

Our team

Tori O'Callaghan-Lake CEO

Tori joined Springfield in September 2022 and has over 15 years’ experience of working to support and empower the most vulnerable members of our society. More recently she has worked specifically in the VAWG sector managing a diverse range of domestic abuse services in Greater Manchester which include IDVA provision, community outreach and refuges.

Tori has previously been successful in funding applications, tender bids and has set up a number of new services within Greater Manchester specifically male safe accommodation and refuges. She has sat on numerous DHR panels and contributed to wider learning events within Greater Manchester.

The pandemic was especially challenging for our sector and because of this Tori is extremely passionate about ensuring the wellbeing of both our clients and employees, advocating for trauma therapies and recovery provisions that are available and accessible for all.

Clare Feeney-Johnson Community Hub Manager

Clare started working for Springfield earlier this year. Clare spent twelve years as an elected member for all three tiers of local government holding cabinet positions championing local community needs. Previously Clare worked with vulnerable young people helping them become independent with structured professional support, meeting their individual needs.

Clare is committed to providing a service which supports service users to empower their own internal resources, develop their self-awareness, fostering resilience and enabling them to make long-lasting positive life changes. Clare has strong links across the whole community.

Kelly Doyle Refuge Manager

In my professional life I worked in business management before setting up my own businesses in 2010. I had a reflexive period five years ago after witnessing the impact Domestic Abuse can have on a survivor, children, family, and friends. I chose to go back into education, I retrained in Psychology and mental health, and it fueled the drive to come into the Domestic Abuse sector. I feel privileged to work with survivors and I am inspired everyday by their courage. I began my role at Springfield in late 2021 and I am committed to the growth and development of the charity and the invaluable services they provide.

Chair of trustees report

During the year April 2021-March 2022 COVID restrictions continued to affect the charity and its work.

The staff continued to adapt as needed to the changing situation during the COVID pandemic. Towards the end of the year 2021 a number of staff left for personal reasons and the trustees focused on employing new staff to take the charity and its work forward. We are grateful to Karen Greenhow and staff at Women’s Community Matters in Barrow who have supported the charity during this time of change.

The trustees looked at its own governance working with the assistance of Kate Welch. Kate was supporting the board through the generosity of a Lloyds foundation COVID grant. She is continuing that work through 2022.

The work continued to transfer the property assets from the old charity. We had help of Milne Moser Solicitors and await the Land Registration for the transfer to be complete. Unfortunately, the Land Registry timescale is about a year for this to be finalised.

Through 2021 the trustees continued to meet online and part of our task during the year was to complete a comprehensive salary review. Due to the generosity of funders and wanting to acknowledge the skill and dedication of staff we implemented a salary increase for all roles and backdated that to December 2021.

We had some changes to trustees during the year. Jenny Draper (chair) and Joanna Hodgson (treasurer) stepped down and we are grateful for the support and service they have given to the charity. The Trustees have more than ever this year worked as a team, taking on responsibility for various aspects of the work that has needed to be done.

The coming year April 2022 into 2023 promises to be one where the charity’s work will continue to grow and develop with a good staff team and some new trustees on board. Our focus on supporting those affected by domestic abuse will continue for this year and the years to come.

Ruth Crossley Acting Chair of Trustee Board (from October 2021)

Financial report

During the Financial year of 2022 there have continued to be challenges in relation to covid-19 however there was great support from our Donors. The continuation of the charity work and delivery of services has only been possible due to the grants received and because of the continuous hard work put in by Debra Jessett and A Positive Partnership alongside members of staff and the Trustees.

We are extremely grateful for all donations and support we have received from many local and national organisations as well as all the extra help provided by staff, volunteers and individuals.

Income for the year was £203k which was lower than the previous financial year, but this was as expected following the generosity to help survive covid 19 when it first impacted. Expenditure was £174k which was lower than the previous financial year. Again, this was expected as our main expense of salaries was lower due to reduced staffing levels and then this level of staffing was prolonged due to delays in recruiting, particularly in key roles. We were pleased to appoint a community hub manager in March 2022 in Clare Feeney Johnson and also post year end appoint a chief executive in Victoria O’Callaghan-Lake. This has resulted in additional recruitment fees and also a greater investment in staff training and welfare, which will also continue into financial year 2023.

Springfield Domestic Abuse Support in South Lakeland has ended the financial year ending March 22 with a cash asset of £133k. The cash funds are made up of an Unrestricted balance of £126k and Restricted balance £7k.

The Restricted cash funds of £7k are to continue to deliver services over the next financial year, these are mainly in relation to the Community Service (Freya project and Educational group work), but also to fund activities at the refuge.

The Unrestricted cash funds of £126k, after deducting the unrestricted liabilities (mainly deferred income) result in unrestricted reserves of £95k. These provide the charity with security needed for the future and meet the reserves policy that had been set and it will help to cover core costs at both the community hub and the refuge.

CEO's report

Firstly I would like to introduce myself, my name is Tori and I joined Springfield in September 2022 as the new CEO. I have worked across Greater Manchester in both the VAWG and homeless sector for the past 15 years and am excited and enthused to now be working in Cumbria.

If you read our last years annual report it will come of no surprise to you that Springfield has undergone some changes over the past 12 months, but what remains the same is our commitment and dedication to supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse. I am very proud to be working alongside very passionate and dedicated staff and trustees, and am confident that Springfield will go from strength to strength whilst keeping victims and survivors at the centre of everything we do.

I know I speak for us all when I say we are excited for the future of Springfield and to be a part of the changes.

Our services

We are the only dedicated women’s refuge in Cumbria. Our small, highly skilled and dedicated team provides tailored support for every woman. Alongside our small professional team are amazing volunteers who greatly extend our service. Our aim is to help empower survivors to retake control of their lives, living independently and abuse-free.

We offer accommodation to women who are homeless due to domestic abuse. The women that stay with us often have additional needs - alcohol dependency, debts resulting from financial abuse and various mental health issues that are often present alongside the trauma of being a high risk victim of domestic abuse.

When leaving Springfield, women can face new challenges and increased risks. For instance, living in their own accommodation can be daunting. Our outreach service means we are still there to help when they move on. We work to ensure that they do not fall back into the cycle of disadvantage and homelessness. Women are referred to us by the police, domestic abuse services, social services and housing amongst others, although well over half self refer.

SPRINGFIELD COMMUNITY SERVICES:

We offer grass roots community services in South Lakes providing tailored support to women (and a small number of men) who have experienced, or are still experiencing, domestic abuse.

Between April 2020 and the end of March 2021 we have received 104 referrals and of those we carried our 92 welcome meetings as new clients into the hub which is approximately 7 new referrals a month.

The community service is fully reliant on donations from individuals, trusts and organisations. We provide the following services:

One to One Support: We have had 54 people access our 1 to 1 service over the year, with the average number of sessions being 6.

Recover and Discover Programme:

In 2021/22 we delivered the Recover and Discover course to 21 women, The Recover and Discover Course is for anyone who has experienced Domestic Abuse. The course is 6 sessions run over 6 weeks, each session focuses on a different topic, we explore the intentions of abusive behaviour, the importance of boundaries, the effects of abuse on us and our children, automatic negative thinking, and raising selfesteem. The course is interactive, and a great way to connect with other survivors, and find support. The aim of the course is to raise awareness of Domestic Abuse, and develop skills to help the participants develop healthy happy relationships with everyone in their lives.

Groups:

We currently offer a range of groups through our community hub including a weekly peer support groups, creative writing groups and mindfulness sessions. The groups are available to women in the community and also women that are staying at our Refuge.

All service users both past and present can attend these groups as they are a way of reducing isolation and provide a safe space for women to talk and express their feelings in a nurturing environment.

Case study

Eve (not her real name) had been completely stripped of who she was and said she felt utterly hopeless and suicidal. The abuse caused Eve to have a nervous breakdown and she was admitted to hospital. A family member made the necessary phone calls to get a referral made to Springfield. Eve said she does not recall the exact conversations as she was so severely traumatized, she could not think, speak or act rationally

The family member called Springfield direct and was given advice about the referral process, safeguarding - and Eve arrived at the refuge safely.

Eve says: The 1-to-1 support of staff at Springfield gave me security and made me feel safe. The counselling really helped as it was great to talk to someone who didn’t know me and I could talk openly and they would listen.

The Springfield community group was definitely the most helpful. It was a lightbulb moment and I was finally able to understand what had happened to me. I was educated in rumination, trauma bonds, boundaries, subjects I'd never heard of. I also built new friendships with women who had been through similar situations and had a better understanding of how I felt. It also makes you realize it's not just you it happens to, so you don’t feel as alone or stupid. The course left me empowered, educated and inspired by other strong women.

I feel like I've got a future and there is hope. I am positive in my outlook and I also have a better understanding of what's happened to me and the reasons behind it. The skills I've learnt such as putting in boundaries, self-care and expressing myself through being creative are lifelong lessons now and I will enjoy putting them into practice.

I will be forever grateful to Springfield and all the support I've received as I finally have a future and I'm really looking forward to it.

I am a survivor; I know all ninety-nine words of love. Love that’s like a light summers breeze, whispered in your ear. Love that quickens your heart,

Love which flutters in your stomach,

Love that encompasses you without a hint of uncertainty. Love that is selfless and blind.

I know why the sky is blue on a summer’s day. Why a smooth pebble held in the hand is comforting; Why the golden light of the setting sun is my favourite hour; Why my heartbeat slows on cold winter swims;

Why sloe berries are summers sweetest fruit when soaked in gin. Why at solstice the sun appears to stand still.

Why hearts are healed by a kitten’s purr.

I know how fear steals your voice,

I know the bittersweet taste of melancholy and doleful sorrow;

I know the colour of despair and desolation:

I know the exact number of times your heart can be pierced before it breaks. I know the joy of the first day of spring.

Why Putin began a war that no one will win. Why trees communicate via the wood wide web. Why a Robins breast is scarlet red.

I have been a timid brown mouse.

A paint brush in shaking hands;

A bird, a bone, a hot copper kettle that’s ready to blow.

A warm wool shawl weaved in a place I call home.

I have been teardrops that become ripples and flow to the sea. I have climbed mountains where the ground shakes beneath me. I have stared into the eye of a shark without fear.

Yet I still trembled when you were near.

I have been lost; I have been found.

I am a survivor; I know all ninety-nine words for love.

Words and art by a Springfield client.
