Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees have reviewed the charity's finances and consider that adequate resources are available to fund its activities for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During 2024-2025, Sheffield YWCA continued to focus on the six strategic pillars of our three-year strategic plan: finance, governance, strategic alliances, profile, employer of choice, and quality.”
• “Sheffield YWCA remains committed to strengthening financial resilience through diversification and by maximising all available funding opportunities. This year, we reinvested reserves to secure improved returns supporting long-term sustainability.”
• “Our Fleming Gardens premises achieved Family Hub registration, supported by funding for the delivery of Family Hub services, including the "Little Blossoms" toddler group, and for the installation of a new Wellbeing Hub planned for 2025-2026.”
• “revenue from our charity shops increased thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and staff.”
• “We were delighted to welcome Cassandra Brown to the Board this year. With nearly 40 years of experience in STEM and a passion for supporting women and girls into scientific careers, Cassandra brings invaluable knowledge and international experience, including charitable work with ENT Malawi.”
• “In January 2025, Diane Offers was appointed as CEO of Sheffield YWCA. She succeeded Tracy Gollins, who retired on 31 March 2025 after more than 30 years of remarkable service.”
• “Sheffield YWCA continued to strengthen relationships with statutory, business, and voluntary sector partners.”
• “This year saw significant growth in our visibility and public presence. Our Peile House staff team proudly received the "Team of the Year" award.”
• “A major highlight was the launch of our Listening Project, initiated in April 2024. This project led to the publication of Look How Far You Have Come, a collection of poems expressing the experiences and voices of vulnerable young women. The book was launched during International Women's Day events on 3 March 2025.”
• “Sheffield YWCA is dedicated to ensuring the ongoing quality, safety, and effectiveness of our services. This year, we achieved ISO 9001 accreditation with 100% compliance across all areas and maintained CHAS registration.”
• “We re-tendered and secured the Green Gables contract, which we have held since 2004, and obtained a new two-year contract for the Building Successful Families programme in Sheffield. Both Fleming Gardens and Green Gables celebrated 20 years of delivering vital services.”
