North Surrey Domestic Abuse Service
Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities
Our activities
Until 31 March 2024 the domestic abuse service was provided by Citizens Advice Elmbridge (West) ("CAEW"). On 1 April 2024 the assets, liabilities, contracts and staff relating to the domestic abuse service transferred to NSDAS. NSDAS has been operating as an independent charity since 1 April 2024.
As a result of NSDAS becoming an independent charity with a new CEO, our objectives for the period to 31 March 2025 were necessarily short term with an acknowledgment that once the CEO was established and the staff were settled after the transfer, Trustees would return to a more strategic role with a view to developing longer term objectives In the period to 31 March 2025, the board's objectives were to:
-
establish NSDAS as an independent charity;
-
ensure that the reorganisation did not disrupt the service provided to NSDAS clients;
-
promote the wellbeing of staff transferring to NSDAS;
-
develop a plan to ensure a safe and productive working culture for the NSDAS team and volunteers;
-
develop our relationships with NSDAS' partners;
-
develop a staff and volunteer code of conduct; and
-
create a fundraising plan to fill funding gaps and identify services/unmet needs that have the potential to be exciting to funders.
We focused on board development during the year with two strategy days and monthly meetings with a focus on compliance training and subject matter awareness. External speakers were invited to these where appropriate.
Having reviewed the composition and skill set of the board, we recruited a new Trustee with safeguarding experience. Safeguarding reviews are now a standing item for board review.
We were delighted to receive Women's Aid accreditation in October 2024. Whilst we believe that it is essential to provide equal opportunities to all without discrimination, we also seek to operate within Women's Aid guidelines. We recognise that domestic abuse is most frequently perpetrated against women by male perpetrators and for this reason certain management and strategic positions are reserved for female candidates only.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Trustee Board met regularly throughout the reporting period to review our progress against its objectives. In the period to 31 March 2025:
-
Transfer: we successfully completed the transfer of the domestic abuse service to NSDAS on 1 April 2024;
-
Governance: we established our governance structure with committees and terms of reference;
-
Culture: our focus on developing a good working culture led to the introduction of weekly team meetings, monthly supervision, mandatory and regular training sessions, 2 staff away days, a dedicated HR resource, mental health days and a wellbeing policy.;
-
Safeguarding: we were delighted to appoint a new safeguarding trustee. Monthly safeguarding meetings now take place between the CEO and DSL with a safeguarding SWOT provided before every board meeting.
-
Clients: we supported more clients than last year; in FY 24 we received 2840 referrals, in FY 25 this increased to 3005.
-
Partnerships: we are one of four partners within the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership ("SDAP"), a group of independent charities who work together across the whole of Surrey to ensure that survivors of domestic abuse are safe and to build a future where domestic abuse is not tolerated.
We are proud to have delivered the following services:
Outreach
This service is provided through the Surrey Domestic Abuse Partnership. Clients can self-refer through our website or telephone helpline and we also receive referrals through the police, health professionals, children's centres and other agencies.
We have 15 members of staff dedicated to providing outreach services, including qualified Independent Domestic Violence Advisers who can support and advise on a wide variety of problems caused by domestic abuse, as well as providing emotional support.
During the reporting period we received 3,005 referrals an increase of 5.8% from previous year. We supported and advocated for 26 clients at the Multi-Agency Assessment Conference, which brings together a number of agencies to share information on, and create a safety plan for, the highest risk clients.
Children and Young People
We provide emotional support to children (age 5-19) of clients. This is done through a variety of one-to-one and group work, working in schools and family centres.
Projects
During the reporting period we facilitated a number of programmes to support clients: " Hope2Recovery: This is a six-week programme for clients who want to leave an abusive relationship. In 2024/2025 we facilitated 3 programmes, supporting 37 clients.
" Power to Change: This is a volunteer-led project for clients and have left the perpetrator. In 2024/2025 we facilitated 8 programmes with 96 clients attending.
" Bridge the Gap / Changing Future. We provide dedicated support to clients with complex needs. We work with 11 other partner agencies to provide client centred wrap around support.
" Housing Support: To help clients flee, find refuge, assist with housing issues due to DA
" Sanctuary Scheme: This is run in collaboration with Surrey Council and the SDAP partners to support domestic abuse survivors staying in their own homes but remaining safe. The scheme is fundamental in the prevention of homelessness.

North Surrey Domestic Abuse Service
Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
" Steps2Change: NSDAS provides support to clients and their families if an alleged perpetrator is going through a programme to change their behaviour.
" Police Advocate: This funding allows us to provide a service to support clients working with the police, our advocate works in the police station, goes out with the police on call outs and provides DA training to the police.
Volunteers
We have approximately ten volunteers and have benefited from approximately 1,144 hours of volunteer time.
Staff and Volunteer wellbeing, training and development
The Trustees recognise that working within this sector can at times be difficult and may pose professional and personal challenges. The wellbeing of our staff and volunteers has been a priority, particularly in the context of the structural reorganisation of the charity. In the reporting period we have:
" implemented weekly team meetings;
" held 2 off-site away days with plans for follow up sessions to cover topics such as a team charter, working together and difficult conversations training;
" a move towards more standardised terms and conditions and the implementation of an HR tool to accurately record leave;
" a thorough review of key policies (including HR policies) and refresher training;
" reinstated individual supervision to ensure that each member of staff has a safe space to discuss concerns;
" supported staff with additional leave days, mental health days and
" a better-defined process at the end of a staff member's contract to ensure that we can benefit from any feedback or "lessons learnt".
All staff and volunteers receive appropriate training for their role.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Income and net surplus for the year
The charity generated income of £932,088 (£6 in 2024). The net surplus for the year was £271,569 (£-4 in 2024). This results in first year of operations reserves of £271,565 carried forwards, of which £157,109 are restricted reserves.
As of 1st April 2024, the domestic abuse section of the operations of Citizens Advice Elmbridge West (CAEW) was transferred to a new, standalone North Surrey Domestic Abuse Service (NSDAS) charity. Deferred income relating to domestic abuse grants of £366,569 was transferred to the NSDAS charity on that date to facilitate ongoing operations and this amount is included in the grant and contract income figure of £911,206. The deferred income was released to the profit and loss account as spending on appropriate projects and staff for which the grants were awarded occurred.
Principal funding sources
NSDAS received £657,032 in grant and contract income during the year from a number of sources to deliver a domestic abuse outreach service across North Surrey. Further funding was received from Henry Smith, Elmbridge Borough Council, Spelthorne Council, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council and Women's Aid.
Other income:
We wish to thank our wider community who continue to support us through donations from Tesco Community Fund, Assured Guaranty UK and the Groundworks Trust.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Reserves are required to provide sufficient funds for cash flow purposes, to protect a charity against drops in income or to allow it to take advantage of new opportunities. A reserves shortfall creates heightened financial risk from the possibility of unforeseen expenditure, sudden closure, trustee liability, a shortfall in income or an inability to control costs.
Core funding is provided by public sector bodies and the long-term future of these funding streams at existing levels is uncertain. Non-public sector funding sources are short-term (1-3 years), which also places pressure on funding continuity, and therefore potential pressure on reserves.
There is also the need to make provisions for statutory, contractual, or other liabilities. In addition, certain unrestricted designated reserves can be required for specific projects and activities that span two or more financial years. These funds are set aside at the discretion of the Board and may be returned to general reserves when a project is completed.
There is also a need to hold in reserve funds for which the donor has specified a specific purpose; these are classified as restricted funds and may be repayable should the funds not be spent.
The reserves policy should not be regarded as a static policy. The circumstances of NSDAS or the environment in which it operates will change with time, and the Finance Committee reviews and re-approves the policy annually.
Restricted reserves: At the balance sheet date total restricted reserves are £157,109. Unrestricted reserves: At the balance sheet date total unrestricted reserves are £114,456.
The trustees consider that the reserve amount is a good start for the first year of operations. Focus on how to build reserves, in particular, unrestricted reserves, remains a priority and is required to provide a fund against unforeseen eventualities and reserves need to be increased to allow for future expansion of activities.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
NSDAS is registered as a Community Interest Organisation (CIO) with charity number 1203855. We have adopted a Constitution of a CIO whose only voting members are its charity trustees.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Governance committee is responsible for Trustee recruitment and before any positions are advertised, the Trustee Board determines the skill set or experience required. Prospective trustees are interviewed by one or two Trustees and appointed by the existing board, subject to satisfactory checks. An induction pack is given to new Trustees, which includes a copy of the constitution and code of conduct, so they can familiarise themselves with their responsibilities and the charity itself.
Organisational structure
The Trustee Board is responsible for the strategic direction of the charity but has delegated some decision-making to three subcommittees; Governance, Finance and People. Each committee has terms of reference which are reviewed on an annual basis.
Operational matters are delegated to the CEO and the management team.
Key management remuneration
The remuneration for the CEO was set by the Trustee Board at the time that the position was advertised. A benchmarking exercise was carried out.
The People Committee review and approve the remuneration of staff, including the management team.
Related parties
NSDAS currently occupies part of The Elmbridge Community Hub under a lease with CAEW. For a short period following the transfer of the domestic abuse service, CAEW provided some services and employee time via a shared services agreement. By the end of the reporting period, NSDAS operated with independent resources.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Trustee Board holds a risk register to identify potential risks, their likelihood of occurrence and any mitigations. Where significant risks are identified, plans are put in place to mitigate or minimise the risk. We consider the key risks in the reporting period to be:
-
Risk of high staff turnover and poor retention. We recognise that high staff turnover will always be a risk, given the nature of the work. To improve staff satisfaction and retention we have focused this year on people development, building a safe and inclusive culture and ensuring that both staff and volunteers have appropriate support.
-
Over-reliance on statutory sources / risk of funding withdrawal. We continue to monitor this risk alongside our SDAP partners. We work with the SDAP fundraising group to identify other sources of funding.
-
Personal data. Trustees recognise that we hold a lot of personal data. This year we have invested in improved IT security and staff/Trustee training to ensure that we protect our data in compliance with relevant legislation. Trustees review these risks on a quarterly basis. The risk register is updated to reflect any new or changed risks.
-
As part of our risk review we are closely monitoring the local Surrey government reorganisation proposals and the impact (if any) that it may have on our funding.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of North Surrey Domestic Abuse Service
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North Surrey Domestic Abuse Service
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of North Surrey Domestic Abuse Service (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

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 charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. 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.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Computer equipment
- 33% on reducing balance
Taxation
The charity is exempt from 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.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors, provisions and accrued costs are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
