REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES TO BE UPDATED FOR 2021 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and activities

The overall objective of Boston Women's Aid is to provide advice, support and temporary accommodation for victims of abuse and their children. The term domestic abuse embraces the physical, mental, emotional, financial or sexual abuse of one person by another with whom they have or have had a close or intimate relationship.

The objective is achieved through the following:

The provision of temporary refuge on request for victims and their children who have suffered domestic abuse.

Encouraging the development of facilities that offer advice, support and practical help to any victim that seeks it, whether or not they are resident of the refuge, and which gives continuing support and aftercare to victims and children after they have left the Boston Women's Aid accommodation.

Research into and promotion of the provision of facilities which meet the emotional and educational needs of children of victims who seek refuge.

Providing information to and working with other organisations for the exchange of information and ideas on all aspects of Women's aid and domestic abuse issues.

Educating and informing the public, the media, the police, the courts, Social Services and other statutory and non-statutory organisations, with respect to the abuse victims suffer.

Reporting for the public benefit

In compliance with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, Boston Women's Aid trustees have consulted the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on operating the Charity for the public benefit and are satisfied that the Charity meets the requirements on public benefit as follows.

Boston Women's Aid has continued to operate two houses to provide temporary refuge on request for female victims and their children within the general public, who have suffered domestic abuse. Suitable accommodation has not been available this year for male victims.

Provision of continuing support to victims and children after they have left the accommodation has been available, as has advice and support to members of the public, male and female, who make contact through the helpline,with support at our Rural Community Hub in Holbeach.

Talks given to organisations and groups of the public, who request them, together with statements to the media, have educated and informed the public with respect to the abuse victims suffer.

Trustees acknowledge the risks associated with COVID-19 since the lockdown on the 21st March 2020. The trustees will meet and discuss plans, responsibilities, and actions during the next financial year. Immediate action was taken with regards to staff working from home where possible and adapting COVID-19 safety measures within the refuges.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

BWA have continued to provide refuge and other support services in Boston and South Holland. The service in Holbeach named the Rural Community Hub service has continued with the financial support of The Holbeach United Charity. The Make A Change pilot commenced in March 2019 with BWA supporting survivors of perpetrators that are accessing group support work. BWA have supported over 45 women through the Make A Change service.

In 2019/20, BWA have continued to operate as a viable provider of refuge accommodation and services, in the face of a challenging financial environment. The two safe houses are in Boston and accept women and children from all areas of the UK.

In the two refuges 46 women and 73 children were accommodated by BWA during 2019/20. There were 2 Freedom Programmes were completed over the year, with 39 attendees to the programme.

Over the year the team have given numerous talks to statutory and voluntary organisations and attended events, raising awareness of domestic abuse and the services provided by BWA. Training was also given to outside agencies for example the Police and Health Visitors. It is the view of the Management Committee that all services provided by BWA were effective in terms of both input and output and adhered to the Trustees' aims to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

A reserves policy is recommended by the Charities Commission as part of financial management and strategic planning to explain to interested parties (both donors and beneficiaries) why money is withheld from beneficiaries. It is part of being transparent and accountable to funders and lessens the risk of the accusation of hoarding. It is also necessary so that the charity can meet its obligations even if intended funding sources fail to meet targets. Ongoing risk assessment has identified an increased risk of reduction in available funds for Boston Women's Aid from statutory bodies. National and local financial constraints have made it increasingly hard to obtain new sources of funding, and other income sources may be less reliable and less able to predict. There is increased risk of existing contracts not being renewed even if they have been performed satisfactorily, they may go out to tender and may be awarded to other providers.

The reserves must be able to cover any challenges and opportunities in the medium to long term which includes the costs to safeguard current services and the costs of closure. Such costs include: -

Funds need to be easily accessible for day to day spending but will be invested in interest bearing accounts where possible, they are currently held with Lloyds Bank in high interest deposit bonds and a no notice savings account.

There is a regular review of cash flow projections for income and expenditure to ensure that the level of available reserves remains adequate and that the charity is able to meet all its commitments. There is ongoing risk assessment to ensure policies and systems are in place to meet any potential risks identified and consider any significant change in the charity's financial circumstances.

Our current unrestricted reserve level is £156,304 (as at 31 March 2020). Our minimum target for the level of unrestricted funds as at 31 March 20 is £100,000 and therefore we are meeting this requirement at this present time.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity has again had a very pro-active year trying to secure future funding for the medium to long term. The continued role of our Business Development Manager has been instrumental in seeking new lines of funding from varied funders.

The net surplus for the year ended 31st March 2020 was £58,534 (2019 was £90,960), this on face value is a

satisfactory set of results, the Charity has worked hard to control expenditure during the year and because of the surplus the cumulative restricted and unrestricted reserves have grown to £379,843 for 2020.

FUTURE PLANS

BWA are in continued discussions with Waterloo Housing to look at the building of new refuge accommodation. At present plans are being drawn up by a local architect. The new refuge would provide safe accommodation for women, children and a dispersed unit for male victims with or without children. It would also have disabled facilities.

The trustees had been considering securing some accommodation for dispersed units to be opened in the Boston & South Holland area, discussions were started with Longhurst Housing and Platform Housing, this would mean BWA could offer safe accommodation to male and female victims.

Our Business Development Manager continues to research and submit bids for project funding.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Organisational structure

Boston Women's Aid was established as a Registered Charity in 1987 and its current Constitution was approved in 2003 and amended in July 2009, with a further amendment agreed in October 2010 to allow for support to male victims of abuse and male membership of the Management Committee. Two further amendments were made in June 2012 to alter the numbers required for meetings to be quorate and for numbers allowed to sign grants and contracts.

The core activity of Boston Women's Aid is to provide safe, temporary accommodation for women (and their children) who have suffered from domestic abuse. This core business is achieved by the provision of four refuge spaces and four 'move on' accommodation spaces. These core activities are funded through rental income, housing benefit payments, donations and funding from statutory agencies and grant making bodies.

Due to the increase in projects over the last twelve months, staff are now working on a variety of different services including the Make A Change perpetrator programme, which is funded through the Home Office.

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.
