During the financial year ending 31 January 2026, Tools4Change CIC continued to deliver the Gateway Programme and associated facilitator training with the aim of increasing safe, informed responses to domestic abuse within the community. The company provided Gateway Programmes at no cost to individuals who had experienced domestic abuse. These structured sessions supported increased awareness of abusive dynamics, improved safety planning understanding, and strengthened recovery pathways. In addition, the CIC supported Polish-speaking individuals who had experienced abuse, helping reduce language barriers and improve access to appropriate information and community-based support. Income generated through professional facilitator training enabled the company to maintain delivery standards, update materials, and reinvest in accessibility measures. The CIC continued to support trained facilitators through review processes and ongoing guidance to ensure consistent, risk-aware programme provision. As previously agreed by the Board, this reporting year represents the final full year of trading activity. The company will complete its remaining delivery commitments during the early part of 2026 and then move into an orderly wind-down and voluntary dissolution process. All remaining funds will be handled in accordance with the CIC asset lock provisions prior to dissolution. Through its final year of activity, Tools4Change CIC has continued to provide measurable community benefit by: - Delivering free Gateway Programmes to individuals affected by domestic abuse. - Strengthening the knowledge and confidence of frontline professionals. - Improving access to structured support for individuals facing language barriers. - Maintaining risk-managed, quality-assured programme provision.
Stakeholders during this reporting year included: - Gateway Programme participants. - Certified and trainee facilitators. - Frontline organisations. - Local and voluntary sector partners. Feedback was gathered through facilitator review meetings, post-training discussions, and informal consultation with delivery partners. Stakeholder feedback highlighted: - The importance of maintaining accessible and structured materials. - Ongoing need for risk-aware delivery guidance. - The value of culturally inclusive support approaches. - The importance of continued training for frontline workers. In response, the company: - Maintained clarity and accessibility within programme materials. - Continued to emphasise embedded risk management. - Supported access for Polish-speaking individuals. - Reinforced facilitator review processes to maintain safe practice standards. As the company moves towards closure, all stakeholders will be appropriately informed, and provision will be concluded responsibly to ensure continuity and compliance.
The company has paid £32,500 (2025: £32,400) for contract coordination and delivery services to Linda Davies. Colette Whinnett was paid £487 (2025: £345) for administration services.
