Our partnership working continues to be strong with both North Yorkshire Council (including their Community Impact Team) and North Yorkshire Police, especially local Police officers. Input is provided to North Yorkshire Council training for new employees within Mental Health fields and we have also provided work placement for student Police Officers.
Scarborough Survivors continue to speak to local organisations regarding the work we undertake and we input into a number of educational establishments to speak to students regarding the work we undertake and to offer work placement opportunities.
Along with the day-time service, the Charity also provided via its Resource Centre a Crisis Café, which is open 7 days a week, up to 1.00am. The Crisis Café offers emotional support for those who are in distress or wish to prevent distress, provided they do not require NHS intervention. Between the hours of 6pm to 10pm, we offer a dedicated Mental Health First Aid Support Line, which anybody over the age of 16 can call, for emotional support over the telephone.
The Charity continues its partnership working with the NHS by providing 60 hours of support into the A&E Department at Scarborough Hospital. We support patients who present with mental health problems, or who need emotional support whilst in the department.
Alongside our NHS colleagues, our Link Worker is assisting people who are being discharged from the Community Mental Health Teams, to engage with well-being activities within their communities and to practice self-care management.
During this year we have:-
-
Continued to build on the good work the organisation has done over the past few years.
-
Secured further funding for the Link Worker Project, from the Community Transformation Fund, working alongside our Community Mental Health Teams.
We look forward to the year ahead and continuing with the hard work of this past year, to maintain the vibrant organisation we are becoming.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The incoming resources were less than the outgoing resources during the year by £64,638. However, much of the incoming resources relate to specific projects and is restricted to that specific purpose. The Charity has net assets of £97,858 of which unrestricted reserves are £11,055. The Charity requires more general unrestricted income each year to maintain the core service and the Trustees are actively seeking additional general funding. Cash at bank and in hand amounted to £98,388 at 31 March 2025.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding source is from North Yorkshire Adult and Community Services and the Scarborough & Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group, who has provided grants during the year of £55,055.
Reserves policy
Scarborough Survivors does not seek to accrue funds beyond that necessary to operate and develop the group. As far as possible all reasonable effort will be made to use funds received by the group fully and in line with the agreed annual budget set by the Board of Trustees.
Any surplus funds will be carried over to the following year or may be 'ring fenced' for future projects as thought necessary and in the best interests of the group, by the Board of Trustees.
Free reserves held by the group will not exceed that necessary to operate the charity for twelve months.
At 31 March 2025 the free reserves were £11,055.
FUTURE PLANS
The organisation hopes to continue to grow and develop the way in has over the last few years.
The charity has secured the ongoing contract for the Day Centre from North Yorkshire Council. From October 2025, the service is having to reduce the hours it is open, moving from a 7 day a week service to a 5 day a week service. This is due to the increase in National insurance cost, cost of utilities, increase in wages, without this being reflected in the contract funding.
Whilst the reduction in hours has been a necessary step the Charity is working hard to secure funding from alternative sources to enable the weekend service to be reinstated. We continue to provide support to the ladies and gentlemen of the Borough of Scarborough by the services we have and will continue to source alternative funding to enhance and increase the support we offer.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity was formed under its constitution, which was adopted on 20 July 1994. A revised constitution was adopted on 24 November 2016.
Organisational structure
The organisation employs a full time Chief Executive Officer, a resource centre co-ordinator and employs staff to operate the Crisis Cafe.
The day to day running of the reception area and coffee bar is undertaken by volunteers and trustees.
Induction and training of new trustees
In house training is provided for trustees and volunteers.
Risk management
A budget is set by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Board of Trustees annually and also a financial report is produced by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board of Trustees on a monthly basis, thus ensuring an active review of the major financial risks which the charity faces on a regular basis. The Trustees believe that the maintenance of reserves at the levels stated in the report and the insurance policies held by the charity have mitigated the charity's exposure to the financial risks.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Scarborough Survivors
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Scarborough Survivors
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Scarborough Survivors (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
