Governance and Management

The organisation is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association that establishes the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

Method of Recruiting and Appointing Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as the Board of the Board of Trustees. Under the requirement of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, members of the Board of Trustees are elected to serve for a period of one year after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Trustees seeks to ensure that the needs of its client group (women with mental health support needs) are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. In addition, the Board of Trustees seek to ensure that there is a broad experience and skills mix on the board.

Trustee Induction and Training

New trustees are required to provide a list of their skills and training and to attend a meeting with the chair and one other member of the Board of Trustees during which she will be made aware of:

In addition, new trustees are invited to and encouraged to attend a training/induction session to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. The session will be led by the Womankind CEO.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where it is appropriate, systems or procedures have been established or amended to mitigate the risks that the charity faces. In relation to the Covid-19 pandemic, this necessitated delivering some services remotely especially during the winter months to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. External risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects.

Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre. The continuing implementation of quality standards and polices for example, the national Helpline Quality Standard, confidentiality, safeguarding children and adults, equality and diversity, complaints procedure, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Guidelines, ensures that there is a consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

Related parties

In so far as it is complementary to the charity’s objectives, Womankind is guided by both local and national policy. Womankind works in partnership with other organisations to deliver and improve services for women with mental health problems, including survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse. Key partnerships include the Sexual Violence Alliance Somerset (Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support, The Green House, Safe Link, Kinergy, The Southmead Project and The Bridge Sexual Assault Referral Centre), Missing Link/Safe Link/Next Link, VSCE Mental Health Alliance, Sovereign Housing Association, NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board and Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner.

Objectives and Activities

The Company’s objectives:

To help women and girls improve their mental health and well-being (particularly, but not limited to those whose mental health and well-being has been affected by sexual violence or abuse), through the provision of advice and information, and the provision of free or affordable support and professional therapy, and a therapeutic environment.

The main objectives and activities for the year continued to focus on helping women to live successfully in the community and where appropriate, to prevent their admission to hospital by supporting an improvement in their mental health and well-being. The strategies employed to meet these objectives include the following:

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities Womankind should undertake.

Achievements and Performance

Womankind has provided vital mental health support for many women over the past thirty-seven years. Over the year, our dedicated team worked extremely hard to support more women than ever before. Our helpline volunteers handled 6,523 calls, webchats and emails from women in distress compared to 5,711 in the previous year and we supported 438 clients with counselling, befriending or group therapy service.

Womankind continues to work hard to develop and maintain services that provide help to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups within the community. In addition to receiving statutory grants for commissioned services, the organisation has secured grants from the following sources:

Together with unrestricted grants from the Edward Gostling Foundation, the Nani Huyu Charitable Trust and a number of other small (under £5k) grants and donations from several trusts and foundations to support our service provision generally and our core costs.

The main areas of charitable activity are the provision of a telephone and webchat Helpline, befriending services, therapy groups, and individual counselling.

Telephone and Webchat Helpline

The Helpline is staffed by trained and supervised volunteers and is open every weekday morning, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, and Monday and Tuesday evenings.

A total number of 4,568 telephone calls, 1,001 Webchat calls and 954 emails were handled during the year 2022-23. Overall, there was a 14% increase in handled contacts from women seeking support compared to the previous year. Due to increasing numbers of young women callers, we offered further training and support to our volunteers helping them to respond and manage these calls, particularly in relation to Safeguarding. The service was successfully re-accredited during the year by the Helplines Partnership, for the Mental Health Helplines Quality Standard .

Befriending Services

Womankind's befriending services include a specialist sexual violence service for women living in Bristol, providing one-to-one support for up to a year for survivors via volunteer befrienders who are trained in mental health, sexual violence and trauma-informed care. The aim of the service is to improve the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of women who have been victims of sexual assault so that they can engage, cope and recover. Befriending is also provided for up to a year for referred isolated women with enduring mental health issues living in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, and for up to six months for Sovereign Housing association female residents who have experienced domestic abuse and/or sexual violence.

85 women were supported by volunteers in befriending partnerships during 2022/23.

All women completing end of service evaluations have reported a decrease in in social isolation, being able to perform more self-care, including eating healthily, seeking medical care, and pursuing hobbies. Many women have reported feeling less anxious, safer and more hopeful, with increased selfesteem.

Counselling and Group Therapy Services

Therapy Groups

Therapy groups offer a safe and consistent space for women to work on difficult issues or deep and unresolved traumatic events. The aim is that group members will improve their mental health and wellbeing, and be able to make changes that will have a positive effect in their lives. Groups that took place during the year were:

Counselling

Womankind offers culturally and trauma informed counselling delivered by qualified counsellors and by counsellors who are in training at Diploma level or above. All counsellors receive regular supervision provided by Womankind. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have offered counselling services flexibly and responsively (online or in-person) to meet women's needs and preferences. Most counselling was delivered in person during 2022/23, but clients have been appreciative of this flexibility.

Specific services include:

WOMANKIND BRISTOL WOMEN'S THERAPY CENTRE

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

A total number of 353 clients received weekly counselling or group therapy sessions during the year.

Financial Review

As at 31 March 2023 Womankind remains in a financially stable position. The charity generated a surplus of £74,239 compared to £38,478 in 2022. There has been a 17% increase in total income compared to 2022. This is due to securing additional or increased grants, primarily from statutory commissioners for new or expanded services to meet rising levels of need.

Total expenditure increased by 10% from the previous year, this is due to increased activity driven by the increased demand for the charity's services. New staff have been recruited and staff hours have increased.

Womankind currently has an unrestricted general reserve of 4.6 months which is more than the amount required by the Trustees stated reserves policy as set out below. However, the Trustees consider it prudent to maintain a greater level of reserves for robust financial governance in this uncertain financial climate.

Reserves policy

The Board of Trustees have agreed that they will as far as possible, maintain a surplus on unrestricted funds equal to at least two months running costs and reserves to covers its staff redundancy liability. In the event that the surplus on unrestricted funds falls below this level, the Board of Trustees will budget for surpluses in the next three years to recover the position.

Funds Received as Agent or Funds Held as Custodian Trustee

There are no assets, classes of assets or categories of assets held on behalf of other entities.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees who are also the charity trustees have prepared financial statements for the financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net online income or expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Trustees has fulfilled the requirements set out by the SORP Accounting for Charities, which are as follows:

  1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

  2. Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP.

  3. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

  4. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

  5. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

There are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Change in basis of accounting or to previous accounts

Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity

Taxation

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

Pensions costs

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
