DoGUSign Envelope ID." A9402C60-BA4C-84EC-838F.E45ED6244220 WOMEN'S HEALTH INFORMATION SUPPORT CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026 The trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 31st March 2026. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, Accounting and Reporting by Charities,. Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2019) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102} (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1st January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES The Women's Health Information Support Centre IWHISC) is a voluntary organisation, established in 1984 by a group of women from Vauxhall, Liverpool who wanted to feel more empowered to take care of their own health and wellbeing. Over the last 42 years, we have supported thousands of women and their families to improve their lives and overcome challenges. Our team support women's health and wellbeing, through the provision of support services, complementary therapies, self-help, exercise classes and health education. We empower all women with information, free support and activities that combat isolation and improve wellbeing. As well as offering ServIS directly from our central Liverpool community centre, we deliver outreach activities to communities of women from across the Liverpool city region. We believe all women should be respected, and girls should grow up with high self-esteem. No one should experience barriers to getting the information, support and care they need for them to achieve optimum health. Our Vision Ststement: Helping women to thrive. Our Mission Statement: Empowering women in the Liverpool City Region with knowledge and person-centred support to become the best version of themselves. Our Values: At WHISC our values are really important to us. We know it's not always easy to reach out for help, so helping women to feel comfortable and able to be themselves is at the heart of everything we do. Governance: Board Changes This year saw significant change at board level. During 2025, the trustees then serving tendered their resignations. The current trustees wish to record their appreciation for the service given by departing board members and to acknowledge that this transition, while unsettling, created an opportunity to reconstitute the board with renewed energy and commitment to WHISC'S mission and build on WHISC'S future going into a new financial year in 2026. Premises: Departure, Disruption, and the Search for a New Base The most significant operational event of the year was vacating WHISC'S established premises at 120 Bold Street in April 2025 and moving into 1 Tithebarn Street on a 3-year lease. It took time to settle in, and the staff and volunteers worked hard to make the new premises work for WHISC and its services to women. Just 10 months into the 3-year lease WHISC was served notice to vacate this property at short notice. The final month of this financial year (March 2026) proved to be the most challenging yet. The sudden loss of our base meant that WHISC had to identify, secure, and move into temporary accommodation at very short notice. The impact this had on every aspect of the organisation's work cannot be overstated.

A9402C60-BA4C-84EC-838F.E45ED6244220 WOMEN'S HEALTH INFORMATION SUPPORT CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2026 Throughout this period the board actively pursued new pemianent premises and engaged with a range of stakeholders, landlords, and partners to identify a suitable long-term base. This search continued beyond the year end and remains a key strategic priority- Recruitment of new trustees was undertaken in accordance with the organisation's governance framework. One new trustee joined the board during the year, and five additional Board members are about to be appointed, bringing expertise in areas (e.g. finance, health, law, voluntary sector). The trustees are satisfied that, notwithstanding the disruption of this period, WHISC maintained sound governance throughout and that decisions were taken with appropriate scrutiny and in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries. Staffing and Human Resources The year saw a significant level of staff turnover that placed considerable strain on the organisation. Two senior managers departed during the year in March and August 2025. Their departures, combined with further changes at other levels of the team, meant that WHISC operated with reduced management capacity for a sustained period. A particular consequence of this turnover was a gap in the organisation's capacity to write funding bids. From April 2025 onwards, following the departure of the relevant postholder{s), WHISC had no staff resource dedicated to income generation through grant applications. This had a direct impact on the funding pipeline and is reflecled in the income figures for the year. Steps have since been taken to address this capacity gap. Trustees wish to acknowledge the professionalism and dedication of the staff team who maintained Servi delivery through this period of significant organisational uncertainty. Public Benefit In considering the objectives and activities, the Trustees have considered Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit to ensure that the charitable company is meeting its Public Benefit requirements. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The year ending 31 March 2026 was one of the most challenging in WHISC'S history. The trustees present this report to give a full and transparent account of the significant operational, staffing, and financial pressures the organisation faced during this period, together with the steps taken to navigate them and to secure WHISC'S future as Liverpool's only provider of free, open-access women's health information and peer support. Despite the scale of disruption, WHISC continued to deliver its core services throughout the year, and we wish to record our deep gratitude to the staff members, consultants and volunteers who maintained provision under exptIOnallY difficult circumstances. Sought new grant funding, including support towards a dedicated Women's Health Trainer post and towards volunteering and health-related project work, alongside a developed funding pipeline for the coming year covering trusts, foundations and statutory SoUrs. Began rebuilding core governance and HR infrastructure from the ground up, including the recruitment of new Trustee Board members, a staff handbook, safer recruitment policy, lone worker policy, and reviews began of existing policies, giving the organisation a firmer footing after a period of instability. Maintained and developed frontline service delivery, including peer support and group work such as the Magic Monday group, with plans to extend this offer to more refugee and asylum- seeking women.
