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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |
