rest•Jre. Women"s Aid . Supporting Lives After Domestic Abuse Domestic abuse, in all its forms. impacts upon ordinary people and their families and experiencing it wll always be traumatizing. The women. men, children and young people we support. both in our Refuge and through our Outreach Services. will be offered a non- judgmentsl service tailored to their individual needs. We believe that those impacted by domestic abuse need assistance, support, trust and a feeling of safety delivered in an honest. transparent and trauma informed manner. W8 will offer practical and emotional support to all and understand that the children who have lived in situations where there is domestic abuse. have also been aff8cted by it and their needs may require addressing separately. The traumatic experience of living with domestic abuse is often surrounded by other complex issues that we will help our clients and residents to address. Bury St Edmunds Women's Ard beli8ves that we need to take a holistic approach or order to empower our clients. our residents, and their children to live a life free from domestic abus8. To live in a society vthere domestic abuse is unacceptable To provide a safe, emp0V￿ring and person-centred Serv[￿ to anyone who has experienced or is experiencing domesttc abuse. To work alongside people who have experienced domestic abuse with honesty. respect, trust and faimess. This idea of our organisation as a growing, living thing has become part of the business plan. It shows how new funding could be added at the roots to provide new branches which in time will bear fruit.

Restore Women's Aid Bury Sl Edmunds Women s Aid Centre Limited Registered company number.. 01338724 Trustees Annual Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Jeannle Bloomfield, Patron I stsrt my report this year by saying tt's now 50 years since we started offering our services to vulnerable women and their families who are vicknms of domestic abuse. It's been an extra busy time for our staff and volunteers as we have now moved to more suitable and accessible premises for staff and ciients. There is a lift installed for women with pushchairs and to make tt easier for our disabled visitors. I have enjoyed playing a small role by fundraising and giving talks to raise awareness of the help we offer for our vulnerable families. Being a fomer victim of abuse. I have enjoyed helping and attending our SODA {Survtvors Of Domestic Abuse) coffee momings to keep our ladies spirits up and it also gives them the opportunity to encourage each other now that they have started to have a lrfe free from abuse. l also let people who attend my tslks know about what's on offer at our refuge and how our qualified and caring stsff and volunteers help victims start to feel safe again. I have been fortunate enough to be accompanied by Iwo members of staff and a volunleer who are passionate about their role in looking after our famil￿$. by making them feel safe and positive not just in our refuge but when they leave to stsrt their new lives too. We have b8en planning several meetings this year to help celebrate our 50th Anniversary with a calendar of events. This wll run over a 12-month p8ri0d. starting from November 2024 but we have started preparations early. I feel very proud to play a small part by being involved with such a fabulous group of dedicated people who give vulnerable women hope and encouragefflenl to move on to a better life.

Restore Women's Aid Bury Sl Edmunds Women's Centre Limited RegIste￿d company number 01338724 Trustees Annual Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Chairperson's report It was an honour for me to be chosen as the next Chair of Bury St Edmunds Women's Md Centre in July 2023. It was not easy to take over from our previous Chair, Maureen 8￿e. whose weatlh of experience and steady hand successfully directed the organisation for a good number of years. Nonetheless. I have welcomed the challenge and am committed to continuing lo direct all my efforts towards the development, expansio)n, and improvement of the services we offer. as well as promoting the well-being and development of our staff. This has not been a year Trmthout difficulties viith the appointment not onty of a new Chair and several new Trustees to the Board. but also the enrolment of a new Principal Operations Manager and some new members of staff. Despite this being a year of adaptation and change, l am certain that we are now on a more than even keel based on the collatoralion. dedication, and hard work demonstrated by all the members of the Bury St Edmunds Women's team- staff, volunteers. and Trustees. We continue to face a number of signrficant challenges. above all, in relation lo funding and staffing in an increasingly difficult environment for all th8 charttable sector. A signrficant loss was suffered by the organisation wth the very sad passing of one valued member of staff, Jacqui Evans, in October 2023. She was a great member of our team and is missed by us all. In May 2023, we left our premises at no. 24 St Andrews Street North and moved into our new home at The Malthouse. As a result, we now have spa￿S that can accommodate our Outreach services, and most of our meeting room, counselling. and office requirements while remaining in the centre of town and easity accessible by public transport. at a considerably lower cost than before. Our Refuge issues relating to o)mmunal liwng conditions and occupancy persist, but we are actively promoting discussions wth local authorities and organisalions with a view to having new more self-contained refuge accommodation in the future. Over the past year, we have established a number of new subcommittees. containing a mixture of Trustee5 and staff. lo look at the vital issues that affecl both the running of the organisation and Ihe services we provide. The Fundraising Subcommittee regularly explores new sources of funding to provide the foundations for greater financial resilience and stabilty over time, while the newly established Trustee Recruitment and Training Subcommittee aims lo identfy the gaps in knowledge and professionalisms on the Board and recruit new members as required. Conscious of the lack of domestic abuse serVi￿S prowsion in more rural and other areas in our vicinity, our Principal Operations Manager and Finance Manager have worked hard to get the grants required for setting up new Outreach services in both Newmarket and Stowmarket. 8 |Page

This has been a lengthy process and is still in the development stage but progressing v￿11, aided by input and ideas provided by both staff and Trustees. These are exciting. if challenging, times for us and, despite the ongoing concems about funding, financial resilien￿, and workloads, we are looking forward to a brighter future for the organisation, our employees, our volunteers and, above all. for all the women. children. men and young people we support on a day-to-day basis.

Trustees and volunteers who are all dedicated trj the work they undertake. l am commtited to the principles of leadership, sharing of power and collaboration because, as an organisation. we play a crucial role in supporting survivors and advocating for societal chang8 to end domestic abuse. In this last year we have remewed our strategy in line the needs of our clients and our communities and we have deepened our kn￿edge of the domestic abuse services that are required by many people in Ihese difficu￿ times. We are setting suslainability goals to carve our path forward. whilst relying on our ability lo adapt and evolve during this period of transformation. Reflecting on the pa51 year. l am proud of everything we have accomplished and at the same time acknowledge Ihe work we still have to do. It is important to recognise and thank every individual in our organisation that has worked so diligently to make this progress possible. The￿ has been a backdrop of signfficanl challenges to the progress we have made, in particular, the funding opportunities which have become increasingly difficult in the charitable sector in this last year and Ihe economic difficulties faced in our county. We are committed to increasing our financial stability during these challenging times. Stafflng l am grateful to the whole team at Bury Sl Edmunds Women's Aid. our board and our volunteers who give their time, wsdom, expertise. and support. We have worked logelher to support each other. and we now have a full team who are working to their capacity. We are creating an ethos that priorities staff well-being, so that we can support everyone to deliver the best possible Se￿iCe to survivors and because we recognise that slaff well-being is a fundamental pillar of success. We want all our staff to feel valued. supported, and able to perform at their best. Working in the domestic abuse sector can be challenging for professionals so we need lo ensure that staff are supported wÉth both professional management and clinical supeNision. Services In all our services. we facilitate peer support as we recognise the benefits of people wth the lived experience of domestic abuse. leaming and growing together. Accessing peer support also enhances the likelihood that people will feel safe due to the Stronger sense of community and importantly it reduces their sense of isolation which is a key tactic of the abuser because it normalises their behawour and erodes the pathways to supporL We have also adopted a trauma infomied approach in all our work because we recognise the pervasiveness of trauma. and we provhle an appropriate response to this complex issue. 10 1 Page

Restore Women's Aid Bury Sl Edmunds Women's Aid Centre Limited Registered company number.- 01338724 Trustees Annual Re rt for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 All our work is aimed at creating an environment where domestic abuse survivors can grow, increase their resilience, and heal from trauma. By recognising thal everyone is responsible for their own joumey of recovery from trauma we aclively encourage survivors to use their power and vol￿. People vA)o have been disempowered in the past may be understandably fearful and anxious, so we acttvely help them to develop skills, such as. self-advocacy and assertiveness. We continue to provide a vital Refuge for families have to flee domestic abuse. This safe accommodation provides an environment where the residents are fully supported by our specialist team of professionals during their stay in the Refuge and for a year after they move out. Our Community Outreach Servi(* delivers peer groups. therapeutic programmes and counselling which provide kno￿edge and support to help individuals understand the long-lasting impacts of domestic abuse and how they can become empowered to facilitate their own recovery. We have been working on the expansion of our outreach service provision into the more rural areas of Mid and West Suffolk. Followng the success of our pilot projecl in Haverhill, we have obtained funding to expand this project to Nevnnarket and Slowmarket in partnership with Anglia Care Trust. Flagship Housing and Compassion. form June 2024. We recognise the need for these services to be delivered in rural communities to reduce the burden of survivors travelling to more urban locations which inujrs costs and importanlly tskes individuals away from their local support networks. Premises During the last year. we have continued to maintain and improve our Refuge building to ensure that our clients have a comfortable home where they can relax and recover. We have settled into our new outreach premises at the Malthouse in Bury St Edmunds, wh￿h provides a secure, accessible location for our work in the community, and continues to receive positive feedback from our clients. The Way Forward This year we wll commemorate 50 years of supporting survivors of domestic abuse. As well as reflecting and celebrating our legacy. we are dedicated to moving our services forward and keeping survivors at the heart of all the work that we do. We are also ￿MMitted lo promoting our services and increasing our profile in all our communities and to other professionals. We will continue to build on our legacy of providing domestic abuse support over the last 50 years, and we wll develop the professional retalion5hips we have already established. We will continue lo expand our ServI￿S by listening to the needs of our clients who are experts though lived experience. We will continue to have a flexible and adaptable approach in all our work as we develop our partr)ership5 Nwth other organisations and build on our strategic plans.

Restore Women's Aid Bury St Edmtjnds Women's Aid Centre Limited Registered company number 01338724 Trustees Annual Re rt for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Support Service Managerfs Report This April marks my first year in the posl as Support Service Manager, hamng worked for the organisation for four years as Administrator. It was great to welcome Katherine as Principal Operations Manager in Summer 2023. along with new Outreach Support Workers. a Play Worker and a new Administrator. Some existing staff have moved roles within the organisation, bringing a diverse knovAedge base to our support team. Refuge Occupation over the year has been up and down in Refijge. ￿fleCtIng what seems to be overall a trend locally. We have taken advantage of the new Triage Referral System being facilitated by Anglia Care Trust who can advise professionals of suitable refuge spaces in the region. The demand for refuge spaces for ladies with complex needs has increased again this year, highlighting the need for specialisl staff and servi￿$ and the correlation be￿een domestic abuse and additional vulnerabilities. Resettlement Service We have now merged the Refuge Support Worker and Resettlemenl Worker roles. meaning residents now have the same worker throughout their time wth us, from day one at Refuge right through to when we discharge them from our Resetuement semce, up to a year after they leave refuge. This approach promdes a sense of consistency for our clients and their children. Outreach The biggest change over the last year has been the move of our Outreach Serwces from St Andrews Street North, vthich we had occupied since 2017. to our new centre in The Malthouse, Elsey's Yard. The new premises allow us to make use of a larger group room as well a5 smaller 1-2-1 rooms. The new location has been well received by clients and. being sf(uated above the steam House mental health drop-in. means we can VA)rk alongside each other to provide a multi- agency approach for those that need tl. Working in the Community We have continued to provide a Coffee Morning and VOICE session once a V￿ek at Ihe Clements Community Centre in Haverhill. Both sessions remain well attended and we have now become part of the community support nelwork. The success of working wtthin this community has inspired us to roll the servrce out lo other communities in the coming year- watch this space! As always. a huge thank you from me to our amazing staff, volunteers. trustees and patron. Everyone works so hard in such a challenging sector to ensure our families receive the very best support.

Restore Women's Atd Bury St Edmunds Women s Centre Limited Registered companynumber 01338724 Trustees Annual Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Finance report As largety expected. the year to 31 March 2024 has proved to be exceptionally challenging. the Charity has sustained an overall deficit of £101,277. Of that some £41.548 is exceptional expenditure incurred upon the move lo new outreach premises and terniination of the lease on the Charity's premous premises. including associated professional fees and write-off of tenant irnprovements. In addition. and as noted in my reporl last year, some £33,000 grants re￿iVed towards the end of 2022123 in fact related lo service provision in 2023124 and that acceleration of grant receipts was not repeated prior to 31 March 2024. Against a tough economic backdrop and Signifi￿nt inflationary pressures which have become ever more apparent across our cost base, the operating deficit (excluding eX￿ptIOnal expenditure and grant timing) is d05e to £27.000. The granl funding environment Ès increasingly competitwe and that element of the funding mix is well down on that of the previous year. however the largest element of the operating deficit is due to low refuge occupancy during the second half of the year resulting in an annual (￿cUpancY rate of just 77Yo against 89.7% achieved in the previous year. Structural works to the fabric of the refuge building over many weeks played a part in depressing occupancy, however works ￿Mpleted and refuge occupancy significantly improved eady in the current year. Medium temi core funding both for the refuge support ar￿ outreath services in Bury St Edmunds is secure. Suffolk County Council Public Health Directorate fund refuge support services under a contract which commenced in April 2023 for a minimum term of 3 years. In addition, core funding for outreach services from Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner has been granted until March 2025. The Chartty has also greatly benefitted from on-going backing from Lloyds Bank Foundation as well as support from Suffolk Community Foundation, Wesl Suffolk Council and Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill Town Councils. and the generosity of many members of the public and some local companies. Due to that support. careful cost management against a challenging economic and operational environment. and considerable work to secure additional funding. much of which has come to fruition after the balance sheet date. the Charity remains sufficienlly robust to finance services going forward. In addition, and again due to some wonderful support and the hard work of our staff. service provision has continued unaffected in Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill and indeed planning is advanced to extend that provision. We thank all who support our work. helping us deliver and enhance support to our clients. This year has been no exception wlh generous cash donations. Christrnas gifts. toys, toiletries. clothes and Easter eggs. Every year we are oveThvhelmed by peoples generosity. Income and expenditure for the 12 months to 31st March 2024 amounted to: Income Expenditure 2024 £352,149 £453,426 2023 (£458,986) (£466, 786) In the main refuge accommodation is funded from Housing Benefit which for 2023124 amounted to £130,03312023'. £141.188) on an occupancy rate for the year of 77% (2023: 89.7°A), well below that budgeted.

Resep4e$ Pollcy The Charity's reserve policy is to hold unrestricled net Gu￿ent asset reserves equivalent lo 3.5 to 5.5 months of projecled operating costs to cover any lemporary shortfall in cash flow that may occur due to the timing of receipts. Whilst Ihe general economic backdrop remains challenging. the policy has been rewewed and slightly amended. reflecting the reduction of Specif￿ financial commttments and risks associated with outreach provision, subsequent to terminalion of the medium-temi lease on our previous outreach premises in Bury St Edmunds for which we forrnerty held around £20.000 designated reserves. 14 1 Page

Restore Women's Aid Bury Sl Edmunds Wonpen's Aid Centre Limited Registèred company number 01338724 Trustees Annual Re ort for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Unrestricted net current assets at the end of the finanaal year were £146,513 (2023: £197.7961. As of 31 March 2024. reserves cover was 3.2 months. This is, as was expected. significantly down from that of March 2023 {5 months) and slightly below the policy range. ￿ discussed above. the major undedying reasons for the reduction comprise; exceptional expenditure incuffed upon termination of the lease on outreach premises. timing of grant receipts and sustained low occupancy of the refuge during the second half of the year, which post year end has been addressed. Auditor Bury St Edmunds Women's Aid's accounts are audited by Knights Lowe of Bury St Edmunds and il is proposed that the Charity continues to use their services as auditor. Future Plans Primarily the organisation aims lo ensure that current services are fully funded in the medium tem, and we are able to increase our capacity to deliver those servI￿s. Whilst the current econornic outlook continues to present funding challenges, the ever increasing demand for domestic abuse support services compels us to continue lo look for opportunities to extend the geographical reach of our adult outreach and develop our work wth children and young people, subject to sufficient resources being available. Recentiy we have secured project funding to commence adult outreath semces to bolh Newmarket and Stowmarket and that provision commenced in June 2024. As always, I thank my colleagues and our trustees who have supported me in my role this year. Derek Gadd Finance Manager 15 1 Page

In addition to our weekly one to ones with residents. house meetings and support sessions. we now also provide resettlement support rather than having a separate member of staff for this. We feel that this promotes continuity and the continuation of relationships already formed wthin the refuge. As part of this change. have extended our knowledge to cover the Pro￿dureS and processes for housing and grants. As a team we have weekly catch-up meetings to discuss our cases and what support is required wtthin the coming week. This enables us to understand each otherfs cases and provide support rf a member of staff is unavailable. We have also created a refuge support timeline to darify what needs to be done and when, which is helping us to work towards the same goals. Alongside the trustees. we have been v￿rknng on a new residenys handbook. The aim is for it to be concise but informative and a useful tool for their time in refuge.

These momings are a vital part of many of our client's weekly routine and offer them some self-¢are by relaxing, getting advice, joining in wth crafts and building a support nelwork. We often tell our clients ivs not always about what happens during the sessions bul empowering them to do something for themselves and getting through the doors. This is a huge lask for many and not as easy as it sounds. Numbers have continued to grow. despite staff and day changes, and has led to many successful outreach cases and the delivery of this vilal Se￿ICe. May we tske this opportunity to thank our volunteers over the last year who have made our Coffee momings possible - our volunteer Judy and Trustee Tina and their amazing baking skills. Leanne with her crafty ideas, Pauline's super tea making and ninja cieaning up skills and Maureen whose wealth of knowledg8 and insighl within the local area is priceless. Freedom Programme Our Freedom programme continues to be in demand and due to this, has now become a rolling programme. This allows clients to access the programme wtthin a week to leam about domestic abuse and make sense of and understand what has happened to them. The programme helps suNivors to recognise potential future abusers and also helps women to gain self-esteem and build the confidence to improve their lives. We get such amazing feedback from clienls who have attended, often not realising that what they have experienced is abuse. Tracy has the ability to adapt the programme to her audience and make sure each session is also filled laughter. Due to the nature of the topics this really helps to put ourclients at ease and often results in them wanting to do the programme again. A huge thank you to our volunteer Donna who has been a great serx)nd to Tracy for the last few months, helping the group lo support each other and continue to support beyond the programme. SODA Our SODA group continues to thrtve and increase in numbers, offering focused support and guest speakers which empowers our clients even further. We recendy ran a slow cooker recipe course. and each client was given a slow cooker at the end of the course to help support them in using the skills they had leamt.

Responsibillties of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Tnjstees Responsibilities. the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the trustees detemine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from malerial misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial ststements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable companWs ability to conlinue as a going concem. disdosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going con￿rn basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. or have no realistic altemative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objeclives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the financial slaternents as a whole are free from material misstatemenl, whether due to fraud or e￿Or, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonab￿ assurance is a high level of assurance. but is nol a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI wll always detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic deasions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance wlth lavts and ￿gUlations. We design prO￿dureS in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of i￿egUlaritieS. including fraud. The exient to which our procedures are capable of detecting l￿egUlarlties. including fraud is detailed below. Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of material misslatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance wth laws and ￿gUlatiOns, was as follows: the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabiltknes and skills to idenlify or recognise non-compliance wth applicable laws and regulations- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions wth directors and olher management. and from our commeraal knowledge and experience of the companies operating sector. - we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial stalements or the operations of the company. including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection. anti-bribery. eMplo￿ent, environmental and health and safety legislation- - we assessed the extent of compliance with the law￿ and regulations identffied above through making enquiries of management and inspecttng legal correspondence. and - identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audtt team regulady and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 29 | Page

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and overTide of controls, we.. perfomied analytical procedures to identtfy any unusual or unexpected relationships; tested joumal entries to identify unusual Iransaclions. - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias., investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions- and investigated the CoMpan￿S apportionment of housing income, grants, and other main sources of income. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance Y￿th laws and regulations. we designed procedures which included. but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disdosures to undertying supporting documentation- - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged vthh govemance; enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigatTron and claims,. - reviewing correspondence swth HMRC. relevant regulators [Charity Commission] and the companls legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit pr(￿tUreS described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from finanaal transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing slandards also limit the audit procedures required to identrfy non- compliance wlh laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal cOrreSwnden￿, rf any.
