HILLINGDON WOMEN'S CENTRE
TRUSTEE REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act,
submit their annual report and the financial statements of Hillingdon Women's Centre (the
company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Governing Document and Charitable Objects
Hillingdon Women's Centre is registered as a Charity with the Charity Commission under
registration number 801433. It is constituted as a company limited by guarantee
(registration number 2009021) and is therefore governed by its Memorandum and Articles
of Association on 10 April 1986 as amended by special resolution on 15 April 2004, 16 May
2012, 21 November 2013, December 2016 and 04 April 2018.
Organisational Structure
The charity operates a women's only support service at 333 Long Lane and most of its
activities take place there. Exceptions include partnership events, meetings, and networking
with other organisations. Policy and planning decisions are made at the monthly
Director/Trustee Committee meetings, which are open to all Directors/Trustees and invited
guests. Their purpose is to support the Centre and its Centre manager, employed staff and
volunteers with
strategic and
policy direction, governance, and
line management
responsibility where appropriate.
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
Where possible, all positions are filled through annual nominations and election. This has
been standard practice since 1986. It was felt this maximised accountability to the whole
membership of the Board. However, due to the voluntary nature of the work, from time to
time the co-option of new candidates may be appropriate in line with the needs of the
Charity. A minimum of two Director/Trustees can co-opt a new member for the remaining
period until the next AGM.
Induction and Training of Trustees
A copy of the Memorandum & Articles of Association - and all the policies relating to the
Centre (also outlining the roles and responsibilities) is available to all Director/Trustees at
Hillingdon Women's Centre. Booklets and internet sites are available, and training is
accessible to all Director/Trustees. Safeguarding training is mandatory for all trustees.
Related Parties
We network with a wide variety of local organisations, and our partners include: London

Advocacy Project(HIDVAP), HAVS (Hillingdon Association of Volunteer Services), Social

TRUSTEE REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Objectives
The Memorandum states that the charity's objective is "to promote any charitable purpose
for the benefit of women resident in Hillingdon." Our objectives include the advancement of
education, relief of poverty, protection of health, facilitation of recreation and leisure time
occupations to improve social welfare and conditions of women's lives.
Over recent years more than 60% of our work has related to supporting women in crisis and
as such we are considering how this might be better reflected within the charity's objectives.
The services that we have delivered over the past year can be categorised between those
which provide individual one-to-one support and those which are group-related activities.
• Support Advisors provide information, advice, and guidance to our service users. They
guide women with empathy and compassion in areas such as welfare benefits, finance,
education, well-being, women's rights, and basic housing issues.
• Domestic Abuse Caseworkers provide individualised and ongoing support to women in
crisis. Linked to this, is our Pathways to Healing (PTH) Domestic Abuse recovery
programme for women who are now safe but need support as they work toward building
a new life, free of violence.
• Our group activities and events are aimed at developing skills, reducing isolation, and
fostering sisterhood. They touch on different topics such as health and well-being and
unhealthy relationships.
• We know how important it is to create links with community members and groups to
deliver relevant services. This year we have continued to build on our relationship with
local community women's groups to ensure we work together to support women, share
best practices, and amplify women's voices in the community.
Strategies for Achieving Objectives
Hillingdon Women's Centre (HWC) has been supporting the needs of women since 1986 as
a unique service in our local community. We are a small charity run by and for women aged
18+ that offers a safe and non-judgmental space where women can freely share their
concerns and get tailored support and guidance. We have established ourselves as a
trusted and respected organisation within the borough. Our vision is for a world where all
women can lead safe, independent, and thriving lives.
We continue to deliver in line with our five-year plan Strength to Strength' which was
established in 2023. This plan builds on the core services that we have running today and
aims to introduce a new aspect linked to DA prevention. We want to support this theme
through the delivery of awareness workshops for all women. These will help women better
understand what constitutes abuse, how to recognise the signs of an unhealthy relationship
and where they can turn to for additional support.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Activities for Achieving Charitable Objectives
HWC provides comprehensive, trauma-informed services and helps women navigate their
lives beyond an immediate crisis, including general information and advice, practical
support for survivors of gender violence, legal advice through partner solicitors, and
wellbeing workshops. We also work alongside other community organisations addressing
Violence Against Women and Girls. Over this past year we have supported 431 unique
women providing them with essential information and services.
Domestic Abuse Support Service - Our Specialist Domestic Abuse (DA) service
comprises support during and after the crisis. 81% of all women we support are either
victims of current abuse or are survivors of historic abuse. Our team supported 350 women
(victim/survivors of Domestic Abuse) with face-to-face appointments, phone appointments,
email/SMS support for one-off and longer-term cases. The final year of funding by Henry
Smith Charities and the commencement of new funding (year 1 of 5) by The National
Lottery Community Fund - Reaching Communities are key to enabling this. They
provide emotional and practical support to women currently experiencing abuse. They aim
to assess the risk and create a safety plan with the service user. Our Caseworkers will
inform victims/survivors of their rights and options and support their decisions. If further
support is required, the Caseworker will continue to offer practical and emotional support for
as long as needed. It is important to note that we also support women experiencing post-
separation abuse. Caseworkers will always adopt a multi-agency approach to ensure the
best outcomes possible. Thanks to The London Community Fund - MOPAC VAWG
Grassroots Fund 23-25 we have expanded our team of Domestic Abuse Caseworkers to
three, ensuring that we provide targeted services for women from the Global Majority who
are victims or survivors of domestic abuse. As a response to the growing demand for
domestic abuse services, we introduced the role of Senior Domestic Abuse Caseworker.
This person leads our frontline team, enhances professional development, and strengthens
case management.
Pathways to Healing Program - Part of our Domestic Abuse Support Service is the
delivery of the programme which has been funded as part of the Henry Smith Charities
grant this year and will be funded by The National Lottery Community Fund going
forward. We were able to deliver 4 cohorts again this year and continue to help women
improve on their self-confidence and self-esteem.
General Information, Advise and Guidance - Our IAG service funded by City Bridge
Foundation has provided longer-term support to over 141 women. Support Advisors offer
practical help in critical areas including welfare benefits, housing, education, health and
wellbeing, and debt management. They also facilitate referrals to solicitors and additional
services such as counselling and mental health support. Given the significant overlap with
Domestic Abuse, many of the issues addressed through our IAG service are linked to the
long-term impacts of abuse. Support Advisors provide one-on-one assistance, beginning
with an initial assessment to identify urgent needs and create a tailored action plan to
achieve the woman's goals for as long as necessary.

TRUSTEE REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Women's Hub - The Women's Hub is a project that aims to support women-led
community groups in Hillingdon by securing venues for group meetings, encouraging
networking and collaboration, and building capacity for the facilitators, so that they may
work toward greater self-sufficiency for their groups. The Women's Hub was funded by the
Greater London Authority through Civil Society Roots 3 (CSR3) up to September 2024
and has then continued to be funded for a further two years by Heathrow Community
Trust.
Through this funding, we have not only been able to support these women's groups, but
also build our capacity as an organisation through their comprehensive support programme
consisting of a variety of skills workshops and pan-London networking events. Through the
CSR3 programme, we have been able to support three groups: Austin Sewing Club, Afghan
Women's Support Group and Hinda's Fitness Club. These groups provide a vital network
and support systems for women in the borough who might otherwise not have one.
Workshops and Group Activities - We have continued to deliver our Positive Energies
Group along with Art Therapy workshops as in previous years. With funding London
Borough of Hillingdon Community Cohesion Fund, we also scheduled to run a series of
story-telling workshops. Each workshop featuring a story, often based on folklore and
fables, which will have a message surrounding the theme of feminism, misogyny, gender-
based violence, etc. This commenced in Mar 25 and will continue into the next financial
year.
Funding has been received from the ROSA Stand with Us fund to deliver developmental
change to the charity. A project was initiated in early 2025 to implement a new CRM system
from OASIS, and to support the development of a Theory of Change to enable us to better
implement the plans defined in HWC's 5-year strategy by more clearly outlining our goals
for the charity and how to achieve them. This project will delivery through 2025 and as such
the restricted funding that we have received for this will carry through into next year.
Our core activities were also supported through the generosity and funding of individual
donors and community groups such as;
St Giles Church
• Christ Church
•
Ten Percent Foundation
•
Mrs Gells Cottages in Ickenham
-• Hyllendune Lodge
National Energy Agency
• GNIX
•
Donna Elsay fundraiser
•
Freemasons fundraiser
• Big Give fundraiser
•
All donations both big and small enable us to continue to serve our community and we are
very grateful.
Financial Review
The Trustees would report that the income of the charitable company in respect of
unrestricted funds was £47,974 (2024 - £76,584). The income in respect of restricted funds
was £224,614 (2024 - £91,237).
Page 5

HILLINGDON WOMEN'S CENTRE
TRUSTEE REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The statement of financial activities shows that the total resources expended was £45,094
for unrestricted and E164,436 for restricted funds.
As a result, we are reporting a net financial gain of £63,058. Early payment of grants for
projects running throughout 2025 and beyond means that we are carrying forward restricted
funds of £82,554.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees recognise the need to hold reserves to allow protection of all core activities in
the event of income shortfalls and cash flow problems and to promote balanced long-term
strategic planning. Our policy is to hold circa 3 months of costs in reserve and in light of the
current expenditure this figure is set at around £45,000.
Our reported unrestricted reserves for the end of this year (March 2025) are £44,613
Risk Management
The Trustees continue to review risks on a regular basis at the monthly Board of Trustee
meetings. We look to identify mitigating actions to ensure that we reduce any potential
impact to which the charity is exposed. In particular those relating to the operations and
finances of the charity.
Review of fundraising and plans for the future
Fundraising remains a focal point for the Charity as we need to raise sufficient money to
cover on-going operational costs, including staff salaries. We have completed the first year
of two five-year grants and have also secured some other grants for the Apr 25 to Mar 26
financial year. We were awarded a one-year services contract with London Borough of
Hillingdon this year, which has now completed, and are hopeful that this will continue with a
further three contract commencing April 2025.
The National Lottery Community Fund - Reaching Communities enables us to continue
to provide our full DA Specialist Service including the Pathways to Healing programme.
City Bridge Foundation grant provides key funding for delivery of our support advisory
service.
These two key grants, which run to Mar 2029 along with the three-year contract with
London Borough of Hillingdon will ensure that the core services we offer are secure for
the next few years.
However, to provide additional support, to grow and provide new activities we will need to
apply for supplementary and specific one-off grants. These would then enable things like
the community hub and generic welfare workshops and training to continue.
