Kiran Support Services
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019
About us:
Kiran Support Services believes that all women and children have the right to live free from violence and to
leave a home or relationship where the risk of violence exists.
The charity was established in 1990 in the London Borough of Waltham Forest to meet the needs of women
and children from the Indian sub-continent and has since expanded its services to support the wider Asian
community. It is the only charity of its kind in the borough, and in 2017 we expanded further by opening a
second refuge in the London Borough of Brent.

Our mission:
"To provide a safe, nurturing space and resource of high quality, where Asian women overcoming domestic
violence (and their children) can identify options and develop skills that enable them to take control of their
lives emotionally, financially and practically."

The trustees (who are also the directors) present their report and financial statements for the year ending
31 March 2019, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for
Companies Acts purposes. The statutory information is shown on page 1.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Principal Activities
The charity's purposes as set out in the governing document are to:

Relieve the distress and suffering of, particularly but not exclusively, Asian women, children and young
people who have suffered or are exposed to domestic violence and abuse.

Relieve, particularly but not exclusively, Asian women, children and young people who have suffered in
necessitous circumstances by the provision of temporary accommodation and outreach and aftercare
support.

Educate the public in the causes and effects of domestic violence and the prevention thereof, and to
undertake or contribute to research into such matters and to publish the useful results of such research.

Public Benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on
public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the
trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Chair's report 2018 - 2019

Welcome to our Annual Report for 2018 - 2019. I am delighted to present this, my first report as Chair, and
to be part of such a strong and vibrant charity that next year will have been supporting women and their
children for 30 years.

Despite the extremely difficult financial and political challenges we encountered this year, we have both
secured new funding and maintained many of our existing funders. The success of our second refuge, has
enabled us to support many more women and their children fleeing domestic abuse than ever before, while
our newly established outreach service in Brent has helped us forge stronger links with the communities of
Waltham Forest and Brent.
Our counselling service has established itself in being able to support the women residents in our refuges
and has proved so successful that we have ambitions - subject to securing additional funding - to offer it
through our outreach programmes.

Our Immigration Advice Service has also proved to be much in demand, both by the women in our refuges,
and by others seeking advice and support. We are extremely grateful to the Trust for London for their
funding of our Immigration Advice Worker (OISC Level 3) and the difference that this has made across all
our services.

During 2018 - 2019 our Children's Service supported 19 children resident in our refuges and a further 120
drawn from the broader community. Our Children's Service has been crucial in supporting children and
young people that have experienced the trauma of abuse, and in addition to supporting these children in a
safe environment, we aim to expand our support by offering specialist counselling to those who need it.
This will be in addition to the fun outings, cultural activities and workshops that help our children to
develop their social skills and live life to their full potential.

We have also been undertaking much work 'behind the scenes' including reviewing and updating many of
our policies and procedures. At the same time, we have applied for bursary funding to enable us to work
towards Imkaan's specialist BAME standards and for a database that will streamline our evidence gathering
and evaluation and reporting procedures.

I would like to record my thanks to my predecessor, Shabnam Rathore for all her hard work and dedication,
and to our supporters, staff team and my fellow Board members. I feel both privileged and humbled to
work alongside them knowing that we are truly making a difference to some of the most vulnerable
members of our society.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governance and Management
The company, number 5727907, is limited by guarantee and has charitable status. The charity registration
number is 1114148. It has a Memorandum and Articles of Association as its governing document. The
directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law, and under the company's
Articles, are known as members of the Board of Directors. Under the requirements of the Memorandum of
Articles of Association, at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the Board may retire and may seek
re-election. The directors to retire are those who have been in office longest since their last election or
appointment. The Articles require that the number of directors can never fall below 3 and the Board is able
to co-opt additional directors who then serve in office until the next general meeting but shall then be
eligible for re-election. On appointment, or re-election directors/trustees are encouraged to attend
appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

WHAT WE DO
Roshni House, London Borough of Brent:

Kiran opened its Brent refuge - Roshni House - (Roshni is the Urdu word for 'light / ray of light') in October
2017 and has since extended its service to the broader North West London area. As well as supporting the
women and children who come into our care, we have established good connections with the council, local
services and charities in Brent. Amongst the challenges we have faced are the introduction of Universal
credit and the benefit cap, which have had a huge impact on families on low income especially women
living in the refuge. Women with two children or more are being offered housing outside London due to
high rents while women with one child struggle to find suitable affordable accommodation within London
and many have to work to pay towards a rent top up due to high rental rates in London. Single childless
women fleeing domestic violence are not considered a priority unless they have additional vulnerabilities,
such as disability, mental health issues. Despite this we have received positive support from Brent council's
Single Homeless Prevention Service, and they have helped rehouse women within the borough. In May
2018, we started providing immigration advice and casework support to women fleeing domestic violence
in the UK on a spousal visa. The refuge staff work closely with Kiran's immigration officer to ensure a strong
case is presented to the Home Office.

From April 2018 - March 2019, we supported 11 women and 6 children in Roshni House. 100% of the
women that were supported to make applications under the domestic violence concession were granted
indefinite leave to remain. All women have support plans in place addressing safety, financial, legal, child
related issues, training/employment, housing and physical and emotional well-being. Out of 11 women we
supported, 2 attended training courses and enhanced their ability to get into secure employment and
achieved lifelong skills, 4 took up voluntary work and gained paid employment.

"Thank you so much for making a positive difference to life". Client feedback

As well as providing the women and children with advice and information, we also introduce them to new
experiences by taking them out of the refuge on carefully managed trips and outings - so far these have
included, a visit to Kentish Town Animal Farm; a trip to the seaside; London Zoo; the Super Summer Camp
with Kidsout and a visit to KidsZania.








Kiran Support Services
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019
Kiran House, London Borough of Waltham Forest:

From April 2018 - March 2019 Kiran Support services' Waltham Forest refuge, Kiran House, supported 15
women and 16 children. One of the biggest barriers that our women faced was having an insecure
immigration status, however during 2018 - 2019, our residents had access to and support from our own
dedicated Immigration Advice Worker. As a result of her intervention we were able to help 100% of our
women successfully gain indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom. Having secure immigration
status allows the women to live without the fear of being deported and having their status used as a threat
against them.

The past year also celebrated the introduction of our counselling service. Refuge residents have been
fortunate to receive counselling from a qualified counsellor without having to wait for weeks on a waiting
list. Generally, women have had to wait 8 -12 weeks to receive counselling from external sources; for many
of our residents these services were not effective because of cultural, language and child-care barriers.
However, since having access to our own counsellor 86% of our women successfully attended weekly
counselling sessions in their mother tongue. Women with children under 5 were also provided with
crèche/child minding sessions to enable them to attend counselling and express their feelings in confidence
without worrying about their children's safety.

"Sometimes words are just not enough to say what's in our hearts or to express the gratitude that's felt
for caring special people like you". Client feedback

Despite our best efforts to support the women in our care with child-care, the longer waiting times for
placing their children in local nurseries had an impact on the women being able to undertake employability
training and workshops. Amongst the training we offered were sewing classes; conversational English;
in-house cooking classes; health and beauty sessions; First Aid; geographical orientation - such as using
public transport and form filling, helping them to register with external organisations. The residents and
their children also participated in the trips and other activities that we ran with our sister refuge, Roshni
House.

Children's Services:

The Children's Support Worker supported 139 children in total over the last year out of which 19 of these
children were residing in the refuges and 120 children were from within the community. The children's ages
ranged from 0 - 18. Cases ranged from medium to high risk; some cases were presented to MARAC and
child protection concerns were raised. Despite the complex nature of many of the cases, with the impact
affecting the children's education, ability to form relationships, self-confidence and self-esteem, the
support provided through the service has allowed children and young people to identify their support
needs and work towards positive changes in their lives and reach their potential. The service also works
closely with nurseries, schools, social workers and health visitors to ensure that a joined-up approach to
care is available to all the children and their mothers.

The children's service provided weekly crèche sessions - these sessions are in addition to nursery
placements for some children. We also provided the children with one to one support sessions as part of
their individual support plans, where they could express their thoughts and feelings. Based on the child's
age or the issues and concerns that they present with, the support plans are reviewed every 2-3 months.
This provides a view of how the child is developing, where the support needs are being met, and any new
support needs that may present themselves. The children and their mothers also joined in social activities,
such as attending an Eid dinner; trips to London Zoo and the Children's Story Centre.


Kiran Support Services
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019
"I enjoy crèche and activities at the house, as they are fun. My favourite was cooking and playing board
games." Child's feedback

Kiran believes that children's views are vital to maintain an effective service and ensure that the service is
child led. Children's views were obtained through regular discussions, feedback from activities and outings
and exit forms.

"I like living at the house with my friends" Child's feedback

"I want to stay at the house forever, I don't want to leave." Child's feedback

There have, however, been challenges to overcome, and this year that has been the waiting times, which
have been longer than usual in order to get children into local nurseries. In previous years this has not been
an issue, but it is one that we shall continue to monitor.
In terms of future developments of the children's service, Kiran is actively seeking funds to develop a
children's counselling service which would be designed to specifically meet their needs; would be age
appropriate and better able to address the issues and concerns raised by the children during their time with
us.

Immigration Advice and Casework Service:

The immigration advice project is a new service at Kiran Support Services which opened its doors to women
in May 2018. Historically Kiran was seeing a rise in women who were accessing their services who also
needed immigration advice. The purpose of the project is to provide advice and support to women fleeing
domestic violence and/or abuse who are further vulnerable because of their immigration status in the UK
and the impact this may have on these women being able to flee the abuse and access much needed
services. The project has supported 14 women in their substantive applications to remain in the UK in its
first year. These applications involve lengthy interviews with the women to obtain detailed statements and
collating evidence in support of their applications. The projects unique 'in house' characteristic has meant
that the caseworker has benefitted from being able to closely collaborate with refuge support workers to
access these vulnerable women safely and provide them with the immigration advice that they need. The
women have also all benefitted from being able to tell their stories in their own languages, which they have
reported has been very beneficial for their ease of communication around difficult subjects like sexual
violence.

At the time of writing, we have received positive successful decisions in all our cases. The average decision
time taken by the Home Office is within three months of application, with the quickest decision being
received within a month of application. This has meant that these women are now able to pursue their
lives freely and independently, free of violence and without the fear of the threat of being removed from
the UK. This has had an extremely positive effect on the women's mental wellbeing and the knowledge
that they are safe to live in the UK.

"Your help has meant so much and thoughts of you will always be thoughts of someone who makes the
world a better and happier place". Client feedback

The project has also in this year provided basic in-house training to staff at Kiran to help them understand
and best recognise enquiries with an immigration issue. An information workshop was also put on for a
group of women from the community to inform them about their rights around immigration status and
domestic violence. The project has been instrumental in supporting women with other immigration issues
that they may encounter as a result of the change in their circumstances.


Kiran Support Services
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019
Outreach support:

Through its outreach work, Kiran Support Services has engaged with 837 families who have experienced
domestic abuse from April 2018 to March 2019. Of these, the outreach and advocacy worker provided
intensive support to 89 women with ongoing one-to-one sessions, emotional, practical, welfare and
housing support.

Despite changes in Housing Law and the introduction of new policies with the Homelessness Reduction Act,
designed to supposedly make life easier for our women, 35% of these women did not feel this law
supported and helped them. Women reported that being placed out of London resulted in them feeling
isolated and not having access to the same support mechanisms. Over half of these women felt that local
organisations in the areas to which they were relocated did not understand their cultural beliefs and due to
language being a barrier they felt going back to live with their perpetrator might be a better option.

"Thank you for helping and giving me housing support". Client feedback.

The outreach worker provided ongoing emotional support to these women and their families, helping them
to remain in their properties and not return to their perpetrators. The women reported that by building a
rapport with them, understanding their religious beliefs and for 100% of the women speaking to them in
their mother tongue, Kiran helped to keep them safe and protected, even when they relocated out of
London. Progress was reviewed regularly through tailored support plans, outcome targets and feedback
directly from the client.

Drop-in advice surgeries supported 196 women to gain knowledge and understanding about domestic
abuse. Seventy-three of these women reported that their perpetrators forcefully criticised them and
continued to insult and demoralise them, and only when they attended the advice surgeries did, they
realise that verbal abuse is also a form of domestic violence. Forty-four women were provided with advice
about accessing welfare benefits so that they could receive the correct financial support they were entitled
to.

Training courses and coffee mornings supported 226 women to develop and/or improve their life skills,
such as sewing classes; growing vegetables; improving their English and first- aid awareness. At the same
time, the women were able to bond as a group and gain peer support. Many of the women told us that they
were not allowed to get an education or work, as their perpetrators controlled their lives to stop them
reaching their full potential. To counter this, the outreach worker delivered "Ask me" training for
community ambassadors whose role is to help women understand how to raise awareness, speak out about
abuse and create safe spaces for women to not feel isolated and alone.

While 2018 - 2019 was in many ways challenging, our staff, volunteers and trustees met, matched and
frequently exceeded the challenges with the support of our funders and local partners. We have no doubt
that the forthcoming year(s) will also provide obstacles and hurdles for us to overcome. Recognising this we
have been making plans to enhance and develop our existing work, while also being prepared to meet the
new and as yet unknown challenges that will present themselves.

To this end, we have designated elements of our unrestricted funds to progress three key future objectives:

To establish a further refuge which will provide our residents with a building that moves them towards
semi-independent living;


Kiran Support Services
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2019
To expand the breadth of services we offer to children and young people, with a particular focus on
supporting children’s positive mental health, working with CAMHS to help them better understand and
meet the needs of BAME children and young people;

To promote and celebrate our 30th anniversary which takes place in 2020.

We very much look forward to sharing our plans, events and celebrations with you and to your continued
support.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to
the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be
required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is
accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost
related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have
been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its
estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost, 25% on cost and 10% on cost

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the
trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted
purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial
statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
