Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a net surplus of £271,569 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in total unrestricted and restricted reserves of £271,565. The trustees consider this reserve amount a good start for the first year of operations, noting that unrestricted reserves remain a priority to build against unforeseen eventualities. The charity's financial position is supported by significant grant and contract income of £911,206, largely derived from deferred income transferred upon its establishment as an independent entity.
What the accounts disclose
“NSDAS received £657,032 in grant and contract income during the year from a number of sources to deliver a domestic abuse outreach service across North Surrey.” — page 7
“Reserves are required to provide sufficient funds for cash flow purposes, to protect a charity against drops in income or to allow it to take advantage of new opportunities.” — page 8
“NSDAS currently occupies part of The Elmbridge Community Hub under a lease with CAEW. For a short period following the transfer of the domestic abuse service, CAEW provided some services and employee time via a shared services agreement. By the end of the reporting period, NSDAS operated with independent resources.” — page 8
