Bimiingham Crisis Centre
Report of the Trusteos
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Acl 2006, present their
report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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 alms
The principal activity of the charity is the provision of a safe haven for victims of domestic abuse.
The charity is supported by funding from the City of Birmingham and other charitable bodies as well as by
donations.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit
when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees
consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Our main aim is to provide emergency, temporary accommodation offering safety and security to women and
children fleeing domestic abuse, enabling them to fulfil their own potential and determine their future, in a
non-judgmental environment. During their stay with us a team of trained professional family and childcare
Support Workers, working in partnership with outside agencies, support, encourage and empower our
residents to move fonNard to a safer and healthier future.
Established in 1988, Birmingham Crisis Centre is one of the largest independent refuges for supporting
domestically abused women and children in Europe, providing a safe haven for mothers and children.
Members of our support staff are on hand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to offer practical and emotional
support and advice with accessing benefits, healthcare professionals and legal services, liaison with
statutory and other agencies, and support with housing re-settlement with the u￿lMate aim of rebuilding lives
and avoiding similar situations in the future. We are one of the only places in the UK that can house up to 5
children and a mother together and, unlike many other centres, we also accept male children up to 16 years
of age, as we are committed to keeping the family together wherever p055ible. We also have the benefit of a
communal lounge and garden facilities for families to socialise in. Up to 60 children aged 0-16 can be living
In the centre at any one time. To enable children to have some routine and educalion from arrival. away
from their previous geographical location, we have a purpose built nursery on sile which OFSTED rated as
"Good" on their last inspection in September 2019 . Thanks to the generosity of supporters, several years
ago we were able to complete the building of an extension to our nursery which provides facilities for babies
under years of age, and makes us fully compliant with current legislation as well as providing badly
needed extr8 space for children's activities.
During the year women and children from diverse backgrounds and cultures have used the facilities of the
Centre which in itself brings complications of language and custom Irrespective of such drfferences each
new arrival has been treated with the same courtesy and kindness that are hallmarks of the Centre staff
throughout the duration of their stay.
During the year the news regarding the financial crisis wrthin Birmingham City Council was announced. At
the time as our contractual arrangements were secure until the end of November 2024, and Birmingham City
Council has already committed to honour its contractual arrangemenls, there was no immediate impact on
the revenue. The managemenl committee decided that any non*ssential spend should go through a more
rigorous review before being approved and this would continue until we had greater clarity on the plans of
Bimiingham City Council and particulady in relation to the contractual arrangernents after November 2024.
During the current year we have continued this process and although we have ensured essential
Maintenance or capital spend has continued, we have not commenced any significant new projects although
we continue to consider these for the future.
The trustees were delighted when in November 2022. the quality of the hard work of all our staff was
recognised, when the Centre was named winner of the Charity of the Year Award at the 7th Bimingham
Awards Ceremony, after being shortlisted with five other local charities. We were also shortlisled in the final
ten for the same award in the following year. We also continue to receive praise from Social Inclusion for
our ongoing Therapy and counselling work wrth the residents and their children.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
In addition to the in house services provided to residents we operate a ￿enty four hour helpline, available to
anyone, who may be a victim of dornestic abuse, or those supporting a friend or relative and are seeking
refuge, help, confidential advice and support. Further information about our activities can be found on our
website.. www.birminghamcrisis.org.uk Furthermore, the Centre staff regularly make Domestic Abuse
presentations. at suitable local events covering all types of seclors, to promote and increase the awareness
of signs and the frequency of victims.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Financlal position
The results for the year are shown in the attached financial statements. In October 2022, immediately before
the end of the existing Birmingham City Council Social Inclusion funding contract we were advised that the
contract was to be extended for a further two years until November 2024. This recognised Ihe fact that we
continued to exceed the outcomes and hours of support required under the terms of the contract, and at the
time the trustees recognised this was a significant achievement particularly during ihe period of the
Pandemic which brought so many incremental challenges and restrictions that the Centre had to deal with.
Since then Ihe news of the Birmingham City Council financial crisis broke, bringing increased uncertainty
about future funding availability. Thus we were delighted to hetir in Autumn 2024 that we have been awarded
new Social Inclusion funding contracl with Birmingham City Council. The new contract term is for a
minimum of two years with an option for to be extended for a further five years thereafter, and will commence
from 1 December 2024, with a modest increase in the annual funding amounts. This provides certainty for
the foreseeable future for both the trustees, staff and residents of this important funding source.
The rehousing of residents as they reach the end of their slay at the Centre continues to be more
challenging than in the past, and our slaff continue to work very hard to support the women and children as
they seek their future accommodation. This slowing down also prolongs the duration of residents stay at the
Centre and prevents other potential residents taking those spaces as they become free.
The impact ol conlinued high inflation over the last 2 years has inevltably affected the results in the current
year. with our day-to-day running costs showing an Increase on prior years, and making the contributions
from our supporters even more important to the Centre. Although the increased challenges and restrictions
arising during the Pandemic generally ceased during the prior financial year. we continue to ensure the high
standards of hygiene are maintained as business on an ongoing basis.
We will continue to rigorously
review all non*ssential spending, and continue to seek new and innovativa ways to inlroduce further funding
to supplement our principal funding sources, but the charity continues to rely on the generosity of friends and
supporters of the charty and the support of both its staff and trustees to provide services of a high standard
to all residents.
Inv•stm•nt policy and obJactlvo8
All investmenls made in the year have been made in accordance with the Trustees, power of investment.
The Trustees consider the income requirements. Ihe risk profile and the investment managerfs view of the
market prospects in the medium term. The investment strategy is sel within an overall policy of investing in
low and medium risk inveslments which generate both income and capital growth. The Management
Committee consider the return on investments in the year to be satisfactory.

Reserves pollcy
Birrningham Crisis Centre needs reserves to..
- cover up to six months cash flow as some grants and accommodation charges are paid in arrears.

and regulations Impacling on their work.
Based on the above, the trustees ensure that the chanty aSways has sufficient free reserves to ensure a
minimum of £400.000 is available in the designated and general reserves. The charity is currently holding
higher reseNes which will be used to finance its ongoing support of our residents.
The main reserves of the charity and their purposes are set out in note 1810 the accounts,
Going concern
The trustees have made a statement in note 1 to the accounts regarding their continued belief that no
malerial uncertainties exist and therefore they have concluded that the accounts can be prepared on a going
Concern basis.
Prlncipal risks and uncertainties
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risk$ to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure
appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Management Committee has completed ils own review of the major risks to whieh the charity 1$ exposed
and ensure that systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The continuing implementation of Ihe
new 8imiingham Standard. to which Social Inclusions providers are expected to work, ensures 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.
Future plans
Our main focus continues to be to protect the health and wellbeing of our residents and our hardworking
staff. As stated above the impact of the Pandemic has eased over the last 12 months, but we remain
committed to maintain our Health & Safety programme to control virus Infections. Al tha same time Y￿ are
seeking opportunities and ways of increasing our wellbeing programmes and outcomes.
Wrth the recent news in September 2023 about the financial status of Birmingham City Council the
management committee recognised the irnportance of monitoring closely any potential impact that may have
on Ihe funding received from the Council. The recent news. in late 2024, that we have been awarded a
further Social Inclusion funding contract by Birmingham City Council has alleviated any immediate concerns
in thal area. However, we recognise the importance of continuing lo maintain our high operational standards
to ensure future funding is secured bolh from current and alternative sources, alongside our continuous
rigorous cost control.
We will continue to considef ways we can bring our expertise and support to help anybody who maybe
experiencin9 domestic abuse in the wider communty.
In addition to continuing to deliver a consistent quality of care and support to victims of domestic abuse and
maintaining the high standard of facilities, Bimingham Crisis Centre also has a Moving Forward fund to
provide services to residents to move forward once they have been re-housed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information
Birmingham Crisis Centre is a chanty incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the
¢harity's registered office is PO Box 3634, Birmingham, B19 1ET.
Accounting convention
The financial statements of the Charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102,
have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ' Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charrties preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom 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" the Companies Act 2006 and the
Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared using the histoflc Cost convention as modified by the
revaluation of investments and are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the
Charty, rounded to the nearest £1.
The signrficant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financlal statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless othenwise stated.
Company status
The Charily is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the Charity are the trustees named
in the Report of the Trustees. In the event of the Charity being wound up the liabilty in respect of the
guarantee is limrted to £10 per member of the Charity.
Crltlcal accountlng Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Charrty's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision
affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects
both current and future periods.
Incom•
All income is recognised in the Stalement of Financial Adivities once the Charity has entitlement to
the funds, rt is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement
date. If there are conditions attached to the donation and Ihis requires a level of perfomance before
entitlement can be oblained then income is deferred until those condrtions are fully met or the
fulfilment of those condrtions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be
fulfilled.
Investment incorne is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It
includes dividends and interest receivable. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest
rate method and dividend income is recognised as the Charities right to receive payment is
established. Investment management costs are included in expenditure.
Expendfture
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has ba•n classrfied under headings that
aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or
constwctive obligation to make payments to third parties, it IS Probable that the settlement will be
required and the anK)unt of the obligation can be measured reliably.
It is categorised under the following headings.
Expenditure on charitable activities.

Iransaclion costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in "net
gainsl(losses) on investments" in the Statement of Financial Activities if the investments are publicly
traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
Taxatlon
The charity is exempl from corporation tax on rts charitable activities.
Operatlng leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the
period of the lease.
Fund accountlng
General funds are unrestricted fund$ which are available for use al the discretion of the tNstee$ in
furtherance of the general objective5 of the Charty and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Designated fund8 comprise unrestrlcled funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular
purposes. The trustees intermittentty review the desonated funds as is necessary when
circumstances change and changes to the designation may be required. The intended aim and use of
each designated fund is set out in Ihe notes lo the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restriclions imposed by
donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and
administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted
fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and
Section 12 "Other Financial Instruments Issues" of FRS 102 to all of rts financial statements.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charities balance sheet when the Chanty becomes paty
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial slatements,
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simuttaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which Include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances. are
initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at
amortised cosl using the effective interest method unless the arrangement conslilutes a financing
transaction where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at
a market rate of interest.
ther financial assets
Other financial assets are initially measured al fair value which is normally the transaction price. Such
assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the
income and expenditure account, excepl that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly
traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Trade debtors, loans and other receivables that have fixed or delerminable payments that are not
quoted in an active market are classrfied as "loans and receivables"
Loans and receivables are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.
Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when
the recognition of interest would be immaterial. The effective inlerest method is a method of
calculating the amortised cosl of a debt inslwment and of allocating the interest income over the
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
receipts through the expected life of the debt instrumenl to the net ￿rryIng amount on initial
recognition.
airment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than Ihose held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for
indicators of impaiment at éach reporting ènd date.
Financial assets are Impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial assel, the estimated future cash flows
have been affected.
If an assel is impaired, the impaimient loss is the drfference between the carrying amount and Ihe
present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.
The impaimient loss is recognised in the income and expenditure account.
If there is a decrease in the impaimient loss arising frorn an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does
not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairnent not previously been
recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the income and expendrture account.
Dere
nition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire or are settled, or when the Charity transfers the financial asset and subslantially all of the risks
and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some signlficant risks and rewards of ownership are
retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its
entirety to an unrelated third party.

Financial instruments
lassification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilrties and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in
the assets of the Charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans, are initially recognised at
transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction where the debt
instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rale of
interest.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilrties if payment is
due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-currenl liabilities. Trade payables are
recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method.
Other financial liabilrties
Derivatives, including Inte￿$1 rate Swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic
financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract
is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recognised in the income and expenditure account in finance costs or finance income
as appropriate unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classrfied according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into.
erec
noffin
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity's contractual obligations expire or are
discharged or cancelled.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on 8 going concern basis as the trustees believe that no
material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected
level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The
expected level of income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reser4es for the Charty to be
able to continue as a going concern.
