LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES

SUSAN BRIGGS Chair of the Board

Dear Supporters of South West Surrey Domestic Abuse Service,

Thank you for taking time to read our Annual Report.

In this endeavour, we as a charity, are extremely fortunate to have such an immensely dedicated and hard-working group of staff and volunteers, who supported 923 survivors of domestic abuse (including children) on a one to one basis, in the year covered by this report.

South West Surrey Domestic Abuse Service (SWSDAS) works as part of the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership (SDAP) a group of four specialist charities within the county, supporting survivors of domestic abuse.

Their success would not have been possible without the skills and hard work of our CEO and her Management team. My fellow Trustees and I are proud to be on the board of a dynamic organisation led by outstanding women.

Our work in the year ending 31st March 2025 has been undertaken against significant growth in the number of referrals. As a service we pride ourselves on meeting high delivery goals, working with our commissioners (Surrey County Council, Surrey Police and Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey) to support the community we serve.

The amazing individuals we support share the Trustee’s admiration of our staff. One of them told us:

“Each week it has been a wonderful support through such a turbulent time for me……..it’s been like a lifeline and I’ll be forever grateful.“

Our fundraising efforts enable us to respond to the needs of our clients, working successfully and innovatively to provide unwavering support for survivors, and to improve the life chances for them and their families.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Cath Jago

The demand for access to, and support from our service has continued to grow over the last year. Our priority remains ensuring that survivors of domestic abuse, living in fear and isolation, have safe and effective access to the support they need. This year has tested our resilience but it has also highlighted the strength and commitment of our team and partners.

During 2024/25, our service experienced a substantial increase in referrals compared to the previous year, placing considerable pressure on resources and staff capacity. Despite these challenges, the team responded with professionalism and adaptability, ensuring that survivors continued to receive timely and tailored support. The team’s dedication has been instrumental in maintaining service delivery and finding innovative ways to enhance the support we offer.

A key area of focus for the year has been our VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) prevention and engagement work. This has played a vital role in raising awareness within the community, building strong partnerships with educational institutions, health services, and local organisations. The work expanded significantly, with impactful training and interventions ensuring that our approach was relevant, responsive, and effective. The progress made this year reinforces the importance of prevention and multi-agency collaboration in tackling VAWG.

Partnership working remains central to our approach, strengthening our ability to respond effectively and maintain visibility within the community.

Domestic abuse can have a profound effect on a survivor’s mental health. Thanks to grant funding, we have continued to provide counselling services for adult survivors and emotional wellbeing support for children and young people. Additional funding has enabled us to maintain specialist roles, improving accessibility and addressing the diverse needs of survivors. We are particularly proud to have secured ongoing funding for our LGBTQ+ Advocate and Disability Advocate roles, ensuring inclusive and tailored support across the county.

Our volunteers continue to play an invaluable role in service delivery. Whether providing direct support to survivors or assisting behind the scenes, their time, energy, and commitment are deeply appreciated. Their contribution enhances our capacity and ensures that we can offer comprehensive support to those who need it most.

As CEO, I am immensely proud of what we have achieved this year. The dedication and professionalism of our team have made a tangible difference to the lives of survivors and their children. Together, we have provided emotional and practical support, strengthened prevention efforts, and ensured that our services remain accessible and effective. The challenges have been significant, but the progress we have made demonstrates the resilience and commitment of everyone involved.

ACHIEVEMENT AND DELIVERY OF SERVICE

Community Outreach Services

These services provide comprehensive support to individuals experiencing domestic abuse across the boroughs of Guildford and Waverley. We offer both emotional and practical assistance, using a trauma-informed, needs-based approach. Survivors are provided with a safe environment to share their experiences and explore options to enhance their safety and well-being. We work to our core principles: we listen, we believe, and we support.

Referrals and demand

In the period from 2024 to 2025, we received a total of 2,027 referrals, representing a 12% increase compared to the previous year. Of these, 726 were categorised as high-risk, indicating a significant threat of serious harm or death.

Referrals originated from a variety of sources, including:

Collaborative Working

We are an integral member of the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership (SDAP). This is a coalition of four charities providing domestic abuse services across Surrey. SDAP is commissioned by Surrey County Council (SCC), the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey (OPCC) and Surrey Police, to provide community outreach services and specialist roles. Our work is further informed and enhanced by DA SEEN (Surrey Expert By Experience Network) comprising individuals with lived experience of domestic abuse who influence policy and good practice within the sector.

OUTREACH AND SUPPORT SERVICES

We continue to deliver our outreach support through a range of channels: face-to-face, telephone, text and online. Our support includes:

“Thank you, You saved my life”

Risk and Needs Assessments

ACHIEVEMENT AND DELIVERY OF SERVICE

SPECIALIST SERVICES

We deliver recovery programmes (Freedom) by group sessions in the daytime and evening. These are followed by a wellbeing offer in our local area. We run 3 coffee mornings per month easily accessible for clients to drop in and receive both outreach and peer support. We continue to host One Stop Hubs, targeted at more vulnerable communities, enabling them to access multiple professionals under one roof with face-to-face problem solving in a comfortable and supportive environment.

MARAC

In the last year, we advocated for more than 247 clients at MARAC meetings. These fortnightly meetings bring together various agencies to develop personalised, multiagency safety plans for survivors at the highest risk. Our service represents the voice of the survivor at the MARAC meetings ensuring bespoke and meaningful safety planning for each individual.

“I have been someone who has been massively helped by your team. I have gone through counselling, a domestic violence course and trauma therapy. Without the support of your team, I cannot guarantee I would be here today.”

INDEPENDENT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVISORS (IDVAS)

We employ five qualified IDVAs in specialised roles. We actively support our staff in achieving this qualification. Over the past year some staff have added to this qualification taking extra modules as ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) and YPVA (Young Person Violence Advisor) ensuring our staff base is knowledgeable and confident in all areas of domestic abuse.

POLICE ADVOCATE

Embedded within the Guildford Police Domestic Abuse Team, this role provides advice to officers, supports survivors during Clare’s Law disclosures, and enhances the police’s understanding of domestic abuse. The Police Advocate also works on particularly complicated high-risk cases alongside Police Investigation teams and will ensure they are the survivors advocate in this process. Our Police Advocate received The Borough Commander’s Award last year for her exceptional work on a high-risk case.

COURT IDVA

Our Court IDVA collaborates with the Crown Prosecution Service at Magistrates’ Court to assist survivors in obtaining protective orders., reporting back to survivors around sentencing and court orders.

ACHIEVEMENT AND DELIVERY OF SERVICE

STEPS TO CHANGE IDVA

This role advocates for the survivor as part of the Surrey Steps to Change Hub, a safe space where individuals can benefit from localised, specialist support to increase survivor safety and reduce harm from perpetrators of domestic abuse and stalking.

BRIDGE THE GAP WORKER

This worker supports survivors facing multiple disadvantages such as mental health challenges, domestic abuse and homelessness. This intensive work achieves significantly positive outcomes for individuals most at risk of falling through service gaps. The programme has enabled the survivors to move forward with their lives.

This immediate availability enables hospital staff across all departments to contact the HIDVA for prompt intervention and tailored signposting for those most at risk. In addition to direct client support, the HIDVA plays a key role in strengthening organisational safeguarding practice by delivering Level 3 safeguarding training and providing bite-size, ward-based sessions for small staff groups, thereby enhancing awareness, confidence and consistency in identifying and responding to domestic abuse.

HOUSING AND SANCTURY SCHEME

Our Housing specialist manages the Sanctuary Scheme across Guildford and Waverley, enabling survivors to remain safely in their homes through the following services:

LGBTQ+ ADVOCATE

This team member advocates for inclusivity, providing tailored support and raising awareness of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ survivors. They have attended university freshers fairs, colleges, and young people’s events, promoted the inclusivity of our service in the community and trained staff at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust as well as local businesses and other agencies.

HOSPITAL INDEPENDENT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVISOR (HIDVA)

The HIDVA from our team is embedded within the Safeguarding Team at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, providing a vital in-house service for patients who disclose domestic abuse. Positioned to respond rapidly, the HIDVA attends wards, the Emergency Department and routine appointments, ensuring that support is offered during the often brief window of opportunity in which patients may feel able to engage.

This enhances the survivor’s sense of safety and freedom. Last year we supported 99 clients through this scheme.

DISABILITY ADVOCATE

The Disability Advocate is a Surrey wide role dedicated to raising awareness of the additional barriers faced by survivors living with disabilities. The role provides specialist, trauma-informed support while also delivering training to partner agencies, charities and community organisations to strengthen their understanding of disability-related needs within the context of abuse. Working closely with local forums on mental health, carers’ support and a range of disability networks, the Disability Advocate promotes access to our service through targeted signposting and advocacy. Awareness of the specialist support available is further enhanced through attendance at workshops, community events and public forums, enabling effective networking with professionals, partner services and the wider public to ensure that disabled survivors are better recognised, understood and supported. 1

LEGAL AND PRACTICAL ASSISTANCE

Our outreach team provides the following services:

We actively maintain our signposting directory with knowledge of services offered (for example legal aid) and encourage survivors to research themselves to obtain the best legal representation for their needs.

DIRECT FINANCIAL AND MATERIAL SUPPORT

Thanks to funding from Waverley and Guildford Borough Councils, as well as Surrey County Council, we were able to provide the following forms of assistance over the past year:

This support has been especially critical given the rising cost of living. Thanks also go to Cook for providing a regular supply of frozen meals which our team distribute to survivors throughout the year.

COUNSELLING SERVICES

We partner with two counsellors who offer trauma-informed counselling services either via video link or in person. Last year, they supported 39 survivors by providing tailored mental health support for a dedicated period.

SURVIVOR INVOLVEMENT: DA SEEN

We collaborate closely with the Surrey Expert By Experience Network (DA SEEN) which consists of individuals with lived experience who drive service improvements, contribute to policy consultations, and provide strategic direction both locally and nationally. This independent group is unique in the country and serves as an invaluable asset to our work.

DROP IN COFFEE MORNINGS

These informal support sessions are held once a month in three different locations across Guildford and Waverley. They provide access to outreach workers and volunteers and the opportunity to be in a safe space and get some advice, signposting and peer support or just have a chat.

ONE STOP HUBS

One-Stop Hubs were held in 2024-2025 in rural areas with significant populations of disadvantaged families facing multiple needs. These hubs offer access to:

TRAINING AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

We actively raise awareness of domestic abuse within the community by:

We also distributed food vouchers, community fridge and hygiene bank items, and provided immediate face-to-face support.

“[the work] show[ed] dedication and commitment to the partnership aims in Surrey in how we respond to and support survivors, and focus accountability onto those that perpetrate abuse and violence“

“You had already actioned all of the safety advice we would give to a survivor on their way to us, which meant that the survivor was prepared. It was a very quick turn around which we would not have been able to do without your help.”

“I just wanted to share that [staff] delivered the session with amazing nuanced expertise and perspective.

CHILDREN’S OUTREACH SERVICE

Our Children’s Outreach Service delivers one-to-one and group therapeutic support for children and young people affected by domestic abuse. Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach, we work with both the child and the non-abusive parent to help create a safer, more supportive environment for recovery.

The service is designed to educate children about healthy relationships, challenge harmful beliefs around abuse, and provide a safe, non-judgemental space where they can express their feelings and fears. Our interventions focus on building selfesteem, restoring a sense of control, and helping children understand that the abuse they experienced is never their fault.

Through tailored therapeutic interventions, we help children process traumatic experiences and begin the journey toward healing with greater confidence and self-worth.

“Overall I must say that I saw a big difference in how the children perceived their emotions and I could see a boost in their self confidence and mood. I’m filled with gratitude for these sessions. I think you’ve done amazing and the children have come on leaps and bounds. They say such positive words about you and themselves.”

PARENT

Through this support, children begin to make sense of their experiences, develop emotional resilience, and feel less isolated. They also learn to identify abusive behaviours, make informed choices, and build practical safety plans in case of future risk.

All support is child-centred and tailored to individual needs, ensuring each young person receives the care and tools they need to move forward with confidence and hope.

BETWEEN APRIL 2024 AND MARCH 2025, WE SUPPORTED 53 CHILDREN.

CHILDREN’S OUTREACH SERVICES

YOUTH ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME

With continued funding, we have successfully delivered another impactful year of our Youth Engagement Programme. Over this period, we have successfully delivered a range of interventions including targeted workshops to around 750 students, group work, one-to-one support, and community awareness initiatives.

This work is designed to support young people in recognising and understanding abuse within their own intimate relationships and plays a crucial role in the early prevention of domestic abuse among young people. Through our engagement, it has become clear that many young people do not initially identify abusive behaviours as domestic abuse. Increasingly, their understanding of relationships is shaped by online influences and social media, which often normalise or even glamorise unhealthy and controlling behaviours. We aim to offer young people a safe space to talk about their views around these topics and how social media is putting unrealistic expectations on young people and their relationships.

“I’m really grateful that I was able to be at this workshop! I feel this really helps raise awareness and spread information; I feel more people should listen to this!”

Our sessions help young people explore how unhealthy relationships can affect their self-esteem, mental health, and overall wellbeing. The programme also equips them with the knowledge and confidence to seek help and stay safe. As a result, participants demonstrate improved engagement and progress in school and college, alongside making more informed and positive choices about their relationships and future.

This year through the youth engagement programme we piloted tailored group sessions with boys aged 14-15 which proved to be an incredibly valuable space for young men to openly discuss their feelings, particularly around relationships and emotional wellbeing. It offered a safe and supportive environment where they could explore how they express emotions, communicate with partners, and navigate the pressures that often come from peers, media, and wider society.

Through guided discussions and activities, the group helped challenge stereotypes and unrealistic expectations about masculinity and relationships, encouraging the boys to reflect on what healthy, respectful, and empathetic behaviour looks like. By normalising open conversations about emotions and self-awareness, the boys group played a key role in promoting emotional intelligence, respect, and positive relationship values among its members.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS PREVENTION AND ENGAGEMENT WORKER (VAWG)

In the final year of funding, the VAWG Prevention and Engagement Worker has played a pivotal role in strengthening the response to violence against women and girls through comprehensive training and awareness-raising initiatives across multiple sectors.

This work has underscored the importance of prevention and multi-agency collaboration, emphasising the need for sustained crosssector engagement to address VAWG effectively. Their proactive involvement with schools, organisations, and community partners has been central to creating safer environments and offering support to individuals affected by violence and abuse.

Through specialist trauma training with RASASC and WISE, PSHE Champion cohort training with Surrey Healthy Schools and individual school trainings we have reached over 60 schools this last year.

Through the prevention work carried out in schools, educators have reported an increasing awareness of rising misogyny, incel culture, and harmful gender narratives among students. The project has enabled participating services to support children and young people in a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and preventative way.

As a result of this work, teachers and professionals in the community reported feeling better equipped to have constructive discussions with young people and to intervene effectively when harmful narratives emerge. They also have an increased understanding of how to manage disclosures and provide appropriate support. This enhanced awareness among educators and community members is likely to contribute to long-term prevention of VAWG.

“It was so helpful to get a proper insight into what domestic abuse can look like for victims, whether adult or children. Crucially, it was also excellent to develop an understanding of how to open up conversations with possible victims and what effective support looks like.”

LOOKING FORWARD

RESPONSIVENESS AND SERVICE DEVELOPMENT

COMMUNICATION AND PARTNERSHIP

We recognise that demand for our services will continue to grow and we aim to ensure our organisation continues to be there for all who require support. We aim to maintain a strong, committed and flexible workforce who can move between projects and services in response to changes in demand and funding arrangements.

We will continue to be a resilient and flexible organisation ensuring that our infrastructure enables us to appropriately support our teams. We will continue our partnership with education and organisations supporting young people to deliver domestic abuse healthy relationship awareness sessions.

We aim to increase our visibility and accessibility by further developing our existing communication channels, both online and in person.

We aim to develop further partnership working in collaboration with statutory, voluntary and corporate agencies to achieve a co-ordinated response to domestic abuse. We remain committed to our membership of the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership.

We will continue our work with local businesses and offer training to HR departments and managers in domestic abuse awareness and how employees affected by domestic abuse can be supported.

FUNDRAISING

We aim to maximise our income streams and decrease dependency on a smaller number of funders by continuing to apply to relevant national and local organisations for grants, and to vigorously explore all financial support available.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In the period covered in this report, SWSDAS generated income of £922,698. £903,000 of this income is from charitable activities. This is up from £786,532 in the previous year. This can primarily be attributed to a rise in the amount received through grant giving organisations and reflects the hard work of the fundraising team. It enables the Service to handle a growing number of referrals and maintain resilience throughout the next financial year. The remainder comprises bank interest which forms part of our unrestricted reserves.

2024/25 is year one of a Surrey County Council contract awarded to the Service as part of the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership. The contract forms just under 20% of all income for the year and provides the foundation of our core outreach service.

The Service’s largest funder in the reported period is the Office of Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey (OPCC). Restricted funding from the OPCC makes up 37% of the total income, an increase of 1% on the previous fiscal period. Grants from the OPCC have enabled the Service to fund roles including our Police Advocate, a Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Prevention and Engagement Worker and Partner Link worker. In addition, the OPCC funded a role dedicated to supporting the needs of survivors who live in the most rural areas of our community (Rural IDVA) and funding towards a Hospital Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (HIDVA), as well as LGBTQ+ Advocate and Disability Advocate.

The main grant awarded by the OPCC enabled us to deliver outreach services beyond the level of the core contract. However, the year-on-year increase in the number of referrals is widening the gap between our contracted capacity and demand. Given the increasingly challenging funding environment the third sector faces, this creates future risk, particularly if central government policy were to impact the OPCC or local government.

A portion of the funding during this period is allocated to initiatives that provide direct support to survivors. This includes income received from Borough Councils for Household Support, which covers essential items such as food, clothing, furniture, and other household necessities. Sanctuary Scheme funding provides directly for the installation of security measures, helping survivors remain safely in their own homes.

Total expenditure for the period was £814,186, an increase of 12% on the previous year due to a general increase in costs and corresponding higher income. The largest proportion of expense is staff salaries and associated costs. This includes training and development, ensuring staff have up to date knowledge and skills to deliver and maintain high quality frontline services to survivors, partners, professionals and the public.

Fundraising compliance

SWSDAS is proud to be a registered member of the Fundraising Regulator. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of fundraising by following the Code of Fundraising Practice. This commitment is clearly communicated to the public across all donation channels, including our website and collection buckets, ensuring transparency and trust in every contribution.

Reserves policy

The Trustees undertake an annual review of the charity’s reserves requirements as part of the budget approval process, taking into account key financial risks. The policy is designed to protect SWSDAS against unforeseen financial challenges and ensure continuity of services for survivors of domestic abuse. To achieve this, the charity aimed to retain unrestricted reserves that have not been designated for a specific use are maintained at a level of a minimum of three months’ core operating costs, including staff salaries and essential overheads such as rent. Following the latest review at the end of the previous period, this target was increased to between three and six months to strengthen financial resilience.

Restricted income has remained strong throughout the reporting period; however, maintaining adequate levels of unrestricted funds is expected to become increasingly challenging in future periods as operating costs continue to rise and funding becomes more competitive

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of South West Surrey Domestic Abuse Service

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of South West Surrey Domestic Abuse Service ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

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

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
