Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Through our creative wellbeing sessions, peer support groups, and gentle empowerment activities, women reported increased confidence, reduced isolation, and improved emotional resilience. Many participants expressed that our sessions provided the first safe space they had experienced in years, enabling them to rebuild trust, reconnect with themselves, and develop healthier coping strategies. Our group activities helped women form supportive relationships with others who share similar lived experiences. This sense of belonging reduced loneliness, encouraged mutual support, and created a community of women who uplift and empower one another. These connections have continued beyond the sessions, contributing to long-term social wellbeing. We strengthened our online presence by blog, and sharing accessible wellbeing content. This allowed us to reach women and families who may not yet feel ready to attend in-person sessions, ensuring support is available in a gentle and non-intrusive way.

All restricted and unrestricted funds were monitored throughout the year to ensure they were used appropriately and in line with donor intentions.

Should any fund approach a deficit in future, the Trustees would take immediate action to address the shortfall, including adjusting expenditure, seeking additional funding, or reallocating unrestricted reserves where appropriate and permissible.
