## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 2025

- ## 1. Accounting policies

  Basis of measurement and preparation

  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

  Turnover policy

  Basis of preparation The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

  Other accounting policies

  Creditors Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

# COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

### SAFE RETREAT HOUSING RELIEF CIC

### Company Number: 15080968 (England and Wales)

### Year Ending: 31 August 2025

Company activities and impact

Safe Retreat Housing Relief CIC is the management agent delivering direct support services to survivors of domestic abuse, operating under the supervision and direction of two charity partners, Her Safe Network (HSN) and HIBA Foundation (HIBA). During the reporting period, the Company provided support across properties held by HSN (10 properties, until August 2025) and HIBA (3 properties). Community benefit during the financial year During the financial year, the Company supported 175 residents across its properties, comprising 101 women and 74 men, along with 3 children and 16 pets accommodated alongside their owners. Of those residents who moved on during the year, outcomes are confirmed for 26: 4 moved into council housing (1 in Birmingham, 1 in Coventry), 13 returned to or moved in with family, and 9 moved into private rented accommodation. The Company notes that move-on outcomes for the remaining residents who left during the year were not consistently recorded, and improving the completeness of this tracking has been identified as an area for development in the coming year. The Company's support directly enabled residents to secure statutory financial support to which they were entitled, including 155 confirmed Housing Benefit awards, 155 Universal Credit awards, 29 Personal Independence Payment awards, 8 Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity awards, 3 Child Support awards, 2 Discretionary Housing Payment awards, 1 Disability Living Allowance award and 1 Employment and Support Allowance award. The Company worked with statutory safeguarding partners on 32 MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference) referrals or case reviews during the year, contributing to coordinated safeguarding responses for residents at risk of serious harm. These outcomes demonstrate the Company's contribution to the community: providing safe, supported accommodation for survivors of domestic abuse and their dependants, helping residents access the statutory support they were entitled to, supporting safe move-on into settled accommodation where outcomes were recorded, and participating in the wider multi-agency safeguarding response for survivors at risk.

Consultation with stakeholders

Who the Company's stakeholders are Safe Retreat Housing Relief CIC's stakeholders include the survivors and residents supported by the service; the Company's own staff and management; the two supervising charity partners, Her Safe Network (HSN) and HIBA Foundation (HIBA); and external partners involved in safeguarding, accommodation, health, legal, welfare and community support, including the police, MARAC, local authorities and the Department for Work and Pensions. How stakeholders have been consulted The Company consulted residents through client feedback forms, welfare check-ins, house meetings and monthly support summaries shared with residents for review. During the financial year, 69 feedback forms were submitted by residents. The Company consulted professional stakeholders through ongoing multi-agency working, including engagement with police, MARAC and local authority partners on 32 safeguarding referrals or case reviews during the year, and liaison with referring agencies, health services, solicitors and the Department for Work and Pensions on individual residents' needs. The outcome of consultation The majority of feedback received was positive. Three specific areas for improvement were raised and each resulted in a direct change to service delivery: Residents raised a need for greater deaf awareness and more deaf-accessible support. In response, communication methods were adapted to individual clients' needs, staff completed training on supporting Deaf clients, and Deaf-friendly fire alarms were installed to improve safety and accessibility. Residents raised a need for greater access to counselling and emotional support, particularly for survivors of abuse and rape. In response, additional counselling and mental health support options were explored, and clients were signposted to services tailored to their individual needs and experiences. Residents raised concerns about property safety and management, including the speed of repairs and night-time noise. In response, residents received more frequent reminders about quiet hours, and house rules on noise were reinforced more strictly to maintain a calm and respectful living environment. Consultation with professional partners, including the 32 MARAC referrals or case reviews handled during the year, directly informed the Company's safeguarding response and coordination of housing, health, legal and welfare support around individual residents' needs.

Directors' remuneration

During the year, the director, Ms To To Chow, received remuneration of £32,375 (2024: £13,490) in her capacity as an employee of the Company. This is recorded within staff costs in the Company's accounts.
