A revlew of our achlevements and perforniance: How our actlvltles dellvered publ1¢
beneflt:
In the last year, Safety4Sisters {S4S) have continued to promote the human rights of mlgrant
women experienclng a spectrum of 8endered violence by provlding a trauma Informed,
5peci31ist. holistic and integratlve pro8ramme of support to Black and minoritised survivors
with No Recourse to Public Funds INRPF). This work has continued against a socio*conomic
backdrop of Increasing hostility and difficulty ranging from the cost-of-livin8 crlsis, the
contlnued reduction in specific violence against women and girls IVAWGI funding, and the
development of hostile and restrictive immigration lawllegislation. In the last year, 54S ha5
seen the Institutional rollback of migrant women's rights and has witnessed the Incredlbly
hostlle and complex systems that migrant survivors have had to navigate when trying to
access safety and protection.

Safety4Slsters North West
Despite the challenging external environment. S4S has had an incredibly successful year
ranging from securing funding that has substantially increased our income. embedding
effective systems and structure5, and strengthening the organisations governance and wider
infrastructure. This work has allowed S4S to better meet the need5 of the migrant survivors
engaged with the organisation'5 services. Specifiolly, in response to the needs of survivors,
54S has delivered the following strands of services and activities: culturally competent
advocacy, welfare and destttution sUPPOrt. refuge provision. therapeutic activities, group
work, social activities, a helpline. external training delivery, grassroots campaigning, and
strategic advocacy.
Abonsh House, our specialist NRPF refu8e, has remained at full occupancy throu8hout the
vear. A5 the only servlce nationally providing accommodatlon exclusively to single migrant
survivors with NRPF. demand ha5 continued to Increase at an exponential rate, thus. any bed
spaces that do become available are immediately accounted for. The rehouslng process for
women residing in the refuge who are successful with regularising their status has been slow
nd diff icult due to a shortage In housln& especially appropriate housing. When women have
moved Into independent accommodation, they have experienced signrficant amounts of
anxlety, pressure, and stress from livin8 independently for often the first time, whilst dealing
with economic pressure. The women have contlnued to be able to access support from the
refuge land the organisation as a whole) even when they have moved on to mltigate the stress
of this transition.
Durin8 this year, S4S's team of specialist VAWG advocates have continued to run a helpline
for both professionals and women themselves to access specialist advice and to refer Into the
advocacy service. In the last year, 414 referrals were made. The advocates have supported
women experlencln8 hlgh risk, complex and Intersectlng violence, whilst also experlencing
destltute and often at risk of homelessness. Our intervention and support have supported
women to access independent immigration advice and support, leadlng to a Significant
proportlon of women belng able to regularise their status and acce55 public funds. Befo
re8ularisation, we have also been commltted in ensurlng we are not turning migrant women
away, especially in relation to their experiences of homelessness and destltution. As a re5uIt,
S4S has paid and supported women into emer8enryaccommodatlon Ilncludlng hotels &other
refuge provision) and has provided 5ubslstent payments. We have tapped into the Support
for Ml8rant Fund to finance some of thi5 and have been comrnitted to supplementing the
shortfall through dedicated and focused fundraising. Demand for the advocacy service has
contlnued to grow, and there is an alm to recruit additional advocates to Joln the team in April
2024 which will strengthen the organisation's ability to meet demand.
In addition, the or8anisation5 robust group work pro8ramme has continued to be dellvered
in tandem with the other hollstic services noted above. The group work has been hl8hly
successful In the last year, providing a safe space for women to come together as a

community, share their Ilved experience, develop a supportive network, and provide peer
support in the spirit of solidarity, sisterhood. and collertivism. Women have been able to
engage in wellbeing sessions. empowerment sessions. S4S women together social activities
and the migrant women writing group. The wellbeing sessions deployed different exercises
(breathlng exercise, physical exercise, creativity, and body movement exercises) inspired by
the Interactive theatre to improve creativity, use the bodyi and have fun. This has included
activities such as laughter yoga and passing energy. The empowerment group. newly created
in the year, have focused on critical thinking and decision-making as part of social
empowerment. During this perlod. activities have inVo￿ed debating various topics (critically
analysing the pros and con5 of eath topic, weigh different perspectives and make informed
decisions). Thls supports women to enhance their critical thinking skills. and to make
autonomous decisions/choi￿5. The S4S Women Together sessions have provided the vital
opportunlty for women that are new to the organisation to integrate wtth other women, staff
member5 and bulld community. Activities during thls reportlng period has included
Internatlonal Women's Day celebrations and artlvlsm marchlng. Social activities have also
Included numerous celebrations, trips to the beach, park5, and museum5. The writing group

S4S has contlnued to work In partnership with local, re8lonal, and natlonal or8ani5ations
across the VAWG sector and beyond. This has included consortla partnershlp projects Such as
the Lotus Hub, which finished its first year of dellvery In March 2024. The project creates
central hub for migrant survivors across Greater Manchester to access SUPPOrt whlch drav
on partners specialism and experlence. Partners include Saheli. Olive Pathway, NESTAC and
Rochdale Women's Welfare Assoclation. 54S works closely wlth the Angelou Centre as part of
thejoint Risk Project, which is a research project looking at the gaps In risk assessment records
and mechan15m processe5. We have also worked with organlsations such as Southall Black
Sisters. Latin Amerlcan Women's Rights Service and Ubuntu as part of the Changemakers
project. We also work closely with local services such as Independent Choices. and Greater
Manchester Immigration Aid Unit. In the last year, S4S has been part of prevlously exlstin8
and Dew specialist networks such as the Northern No Resource to Publlc Funds Network, the
Resist Network, Lived Experlence Network, and the Alternative Women's Economv
Manchester Women's Network.
In the last year, 54S has wldened and sl8nlficantly strengthened its strate8ic reach, influencing
natlonal policy, alongside representing at several local, regional, and national strategic
meetings and forums. This has included the GMGA Women and Gir15 Equallty Panel, the
Gender-Based violen￿ Executlve, national VAWG 5ettor ca115. and 5UPPQrt for mi8rant
Survivors working group facilitated by the Office of the Domestlc Abuse Commissioner. In
addltlon, S4S has spoken at strategic eventslpanels, includin8 the Labour Party Conference
and the National Women's Aid Conference where we have ensured that the lived experience

of migrant women with NRPF is highlighted. The Director attended a series of GREVIO Panels,
and attended a panel event in London with the United Nations Special Rapporteur and gave
presentation relating to the distinct experiences of migrant women survivors of gendered
violence. The United Nations Special Rapporteur also attended our office to meet frontline
staff. and to hear about our work in further detail. S4S has also worked with organisations to
submit several con5ultatlon submissions throughout the year includin8 but not limited to the:
Special Rapporteur on VAWG report. GREVIO Submission and the VAWG statement on
Government Migration Poliry. The organi5ation has a150 been involved in several natlonal
campaigns in collaboration with other specialist services relating to the Introduction of an
external firewall. We have been committed to ensuring that migrant survivors enga8ing with
our services have been included and supported to engage In all of this strategic campaigning
work.
S45 ha5 made a posltlve Impact on the lives of many mwrant women wlth NRPF throughout
the year, and we remaln committed to workin8 towards a future where migrant women
fleelng gender-based violence rights to dlgnity, safety, Justice, and freedom are upheld.

approximately three months of unrestricted expenditure. The trustees consider that this
level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that
support and governance costs are covered.
Future plans

for support and the Èxpansion of service delivery. Specifically, we are hoping to recruit new
