## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit** 

The objectives of the charity are to promote and protect the good health of victims of domestic abuse in Norfolk by providing advocacy, advice, support and information. In order to meet these objects, the charity has received funding from multiple grant providers and the trustees would like to thank those organisations who have provided them with funding. 

Pandora Project offers support, advice and information to women who are, or have been, suffering domestic abuse. It aims to raise awareness of domestic abuse, enable women to (re)gain control of their lives, and enable families to live in safety. Pandora Project offers one-to-one outreach support, group recovery programmes, and safe accommodation. 

The trustees consider that the objectives and activities of the charity are in accordance with the Charity Commissions' general guidance on public benefit.

- 42% experienced stalking and harassment, 

- 17% experienced sexual abuse, 

- 43% had experienced abuse as a child. 

## _**Children:**_ 

Children are victims in their own right and we have been working on this premise since our children's team started 11 years ago. Children and young people are offered one to one support in school, college or the community. We offer long-term support for up to 6 months, due to the complexity of domestic abuse and the trauma it can cause. Referrals can come from their non-abusive parent, school, GP, social care, other agencies and we accept self-referrals.  Children may still be living in an abusive household, they may have witnessed or experienced historic abuse, or they may be in an unhealthy intimate relationship. 

- 148 referrals received in this period (23% came from parents) and 156 clients supported. 

- 87% between the ages of 6-15, 

- ● 54% female and 45% male, 

- 15% non-British ethnicity, 

- 9% with disabilities,

- 84% had positive mental health outcomes, 

- 35% had positive educational outcomes from the support provided. 

## _**Group Programmes:**_ 

Open the Box (OTB) 

   - this recovery programme helps clients to understand the risk and dynamics of domestic abuse, and the forms it takes, it helps clients to identify the warning signs for future relationships. 

- 

- Grow Together (G2G) is a parenting course designed to help the non-abusive parent identify how the domestic abuse has affected family dynamics and the effects it has had on the children.  This course helps to rebuild relationships between the children and non-abusive parent. 

- 

- Escape the Trap (ETT) is a course aimed at teenagers and looks at healthy and unhealthy .relationships. Enabling vulnerable teenagers to break the cycle of abuse. 

## **Financial Review** 

At 31 March 2025, the charity had employed 13 (2024 - 11) full time equivalent members of staff. 

During the period, the charity received £455,968 in grants that are restricted. At the year end, £247,996 of these grants remained unspent. The Restricted Funds amounted to £257,300 and there were also Unrestricted Funds carried forward to next year of £230,816. 

## **Reserves policies** 

The current level of free reserves amounts to £215,539 which relates to approximately 5 months of activities. The board consider this to be a minimum level of reserves to enable the beneficaries to remain supported should no other funding be made available.

## **PANDORA PROJECT** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report (continued)** 

## **Investment policy** 

Due to the level of reserves, income and outgoings the charity currently uses Barclays for its banking and deposits. This investment policy is considered sensible at the current time. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the management of its investments and finances and are satisfied that the systems in place sufficiently manage its exposure to these risks. The trustees have also developed strong working relationships with assisting bodies who are able to provide professional advice when required. 

The biggest risk to the charity was the lack of trustees wishing to volunteer to assist in the charity's strategic management. It was decided to convert the charity to a CIO in order to offer the trustees an element of protection and along with the charity's insurance policies it is hoped that this risk has been mitigated.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of** 

## **PANDORA PROJECT** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended which are set out on pages 5 to13. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirement of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carrier out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Transfers between restricted funds relates to projects which meet the restriction but have been separately classified by the Trustees to ensure plans can be met. This relates to the Client Use fund and NCF Hardship Support Fund. 

All other transfers relate to projects which were undertaken and assets acquired. The liquid funds have all been used for the specific purpose but the assets are still in use but no cash equivalent and therefore transferred to General Funds.
