Achievements and performance
1.1 Our Year
Another challenging bul exciting year. Stop Hate UK continues to evolve to meet our changing environment. The
continuing pressure on household incomes has inevitably had an impact on donations but we are so grateful for
every £ we receive. Our eternal gratitude goes out to those who donate. bake cakes. run marathons. or ask their
friends to donate to us instead of giving a birthday present. However, the money is raised we say THANK YOU.
The year remained challenging financially. but we were able to end the year wth a small surplus, which is
essential to maintain our sustainability and ease cash flow problems.
We remain committed to our mission and vision to provide 24tT reporting and support services to all those
impacted by Hale Crime motivated by hostility towards any aspect of identity-

TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
This year saw a change in membership of our Board of Trustees. We welcomed a new Chair and Finance Lead
from the business sector. Mike Theaker and David Wykes have brought some fresh ideas and refreshing
optimism about the future. We also saw the return of Graham Lews to our Board. Graham was a Trustee for 8
years and our Chair for many of them. After an 18-month rest. he has retumed and we welcome his Govemance
experience as well as his kno￿edge of the Charity Sector, LGBTQl+ and Disability Hate Crime knowledge.
Towards the end of the year Karyn Strickland joined the Board bringing her experien￿ in Human ResoLrces and
Equality Diversity and Inclusion in the Private Sector.
Our Training Team grew in the year, and we were delighted to welcome back Kamaria Ahmad as a fulktime
Training Officer. Kamaria also leads on our communications and marketing. which is of course difficult alongside
her full-time training role. To support and grow our ability to market our services and opportunities we have taken
on an amazing team of volunteers and hope that we can create a full time, paid role to lead on this in the future.
To achieve our vision and mission more people need to know what we can offer and understand that there is
someone who cares day and night aboLrt them.
1.2 Reporting and Support Services
Despite a reduction in our overall reSoUr￿S Stop Hate UK has maintained its commitment to addressing all
forms of Hate Crime and discrimination by ensuring every person. regardless of identity, has someone to listen,
believe, and offer advice, at any time and every day of the year.
Dats gathered and received from our independent Helpline servi￿$ in the last reporting year shows 8 160/0
increase in Hate Crime reporting, continuing the trend from last year. Overall, contacts increased by 80A. There
was a slight increase in crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales for the same period but of course
we are measuring contacts and conversations whereas their figures relate to recorded crime. The increase in our
figures show the need for a Servi￿ such as ours.
A total of 65 % of all our calls were to report incidents and case updates while 130kn were to provide listening
support, information, and advice. Our commitment to providing support to people experiencing incidents, even if
not a crime, places us at the forefront of supporting people who are victimised and minoritised daily.
This year, our average call duration was 20 minutes, {for incident reports it was 26 minutes) whith is a true
testament to the dedicated specialists on our Helpline team. Stop Hate UK continues to annually review and
develop these services to provide unrivalled support for those effected.
The highest forms of reported abuse were racism {53.6Vo), and disability (11.30/0). Although broadly similar to the
previous year, the numbers have changed slightly - 149 more Racist incident reports, while those relating to
Disability reduced by 83. We have also seen a 35% increase in reports of Sexual orientation {164 to 2221, while
Faith motivations maintained similar levels (121 122) and Transgender Identity reports increased from 37 - 44
{19Q/o}.
This year saw small reversal in the shift towards electronic methods in the way people contact us, with 37 % of
contacts made by the telephone, which is a big increase compared to 320A in 202&24. However, the longer-term
trend is still towards email and other electronic methods of reporting. 350A of contacts were outside of 'normal'
working hours, demonstrating the vital need to maintain 24[7 access to our services. During the yearwe received
a contact in every hour of the day.
Our provision of continuous support to those affected by Hate Crime and discrimination and our collaboration
with external organisations resulted in 685 cases being reported to the police or local support agencies.
While Stop Hate UK continues to provide consistent services across locations in the UK, we particularly welcome
the City of Manchester to our helpline areas which is the resutt of successful grant application to QBE. The QBE
Foundation also funded the design and launch of the Start Safe Stay Safe app in the City. The App was also
launched in York and North Yorkshire funded by North Yorkshire Poli￿, Fire and Crime Commissioner. We were
also delighted to receive our annual donation from Close Bothers which funds our 24hour Stop Hate Line in
South Yorkshire and London Borough of Merton.
Another new partnership was established with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames to provide the Stop
Hate Line and a range of training sessions.

TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Our work, as a leading partner, within a consortium project that sought to address the increase in East and
Southeast Asian hate documented in the wake of the COVltk19 pandemic, through the creation of a besF)oke
2417 Helpline, came to an end in early 2025. "On Your Side,. launched in August 2022, was unable to obtain the
same level of funding from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to continue with the full
service and the consortium decided to sacrifice the 24hrs Helpline service as a result. The new service continues
under the management of Protection Approaches but sadly y￿thOUt the benefit of our 24-hour service.
Following the successful development and delivery of a bespoke Street Harassment mobile phone App within the
London Borough of Waltham Forest, we have also launched a version in the London Borough of Lewisham, as
well as the City of Southampton. In June 2024 we were commissioned to provide this app for North Yorkshire and
are hopeful for further roll out of this award-wnning provision. The App is designed to address some of the
priorities for the violen￿ against Women and Girls agenda and at the same time acknowledges that Street
based harassment, while most prevalent amongst women and girfs. is not exclusively so. Members of other
communities, such the LGBTQ+ community and Disabled people are also vulnerable. The App reinforces our
position, that this type of targeted harassment should be recognised as motivated by hate and treated as such.
1.3 Partnerships and Collaborations
We were delighted to continue our partnerships with two major companies in the UK. In September 2024 we
received our first grant from QBE Foundation to provide the Stop Hate Line and our Start Safe Stay Safe app in
the City of Manchester and in February 2025 we re￿iVed a further donation of £25,000 from Close Brclhers to
continue providing our 24 hour Stop Hate Line to South Yorkshire and London Borough of Merton.
QBE have also supported us by providing free meeting space and refreshments for meetings, interviews, and our
Helpline team awayday. Our Chief executive also spoke al their staff event raising awareness of Mentsl Health
and Hate Crime.
Overfinch in Leeds continue to provide free storage for some of our promotional material.
Eulogy continues to provide some pro bono support for us and have helped us with a new and exciting
partnership in 2025 with the European Taxi app, Freenow. Stop Hate UK have provided driver training for
Freenow are now partners in their round up to donate scheme which will run throughout 2025126.
We must mention the support of our Charity Ambassadors, Canon Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark, and Gary
Powell from The Libertines.
1.4 Technology, Media, and Telecommunications
This year has also seen an increase in reports of incidents relating to the Online space, wth contacts from
members of the public raising their concerns relating to 'Online Activity., rising from 44 (23124) to 60, an increase
of 260/0. We have also seen an increase in reports of inadents relating to 'malicious communications, rise from 85
(231241 to 129, an increase of 34 %.
These represent both concerns relating to potential public order offences of 'stirring up hatred,, incitement etc
targeting whole groups and communities, and potential offences such as online harassment, directed at
individuals.
While we are pleased to see an increase in contacts relating to the online space and are grateful to those
individuals who have taken the time to report their concems, we are also acutely aware that, given what some
academic researchers have labelled the 'epidemic of hate speech online,. this is an area which is seriously
under-reported.
Given the online Spa￿'S increasing role in shaping and reinforang public opinion. attitudes, and beliets., the
proliferation of 'harmful speech. and related phenomena of 'misinformation and disinfomiation,, and the
increasing normalisation of these negative online behaviours therefore represents a major, ongoing cause for
concern.
We are therefore pleased to be participating in a project Nwth EU partners, that will focus on these specific issues
over the next 3 years.

1.5 Education, Training and Consultancy
We have successfully delivered a range of funded projects in the past year.
In Leeds, we delivered training sessions to existing and new thirrkparty reporting centres, enabling local groups
to provide a viable alternative to poli￿ where anyone experiencing. or witnessing, hate can approach and make
a report, enabling to access support when required. This project also provided a service through which Leeds
schools could report a hate incident directly to our Helpline in confidence. This service enabled us to liaise
directly with schools when serious concerns were raised and respond with an offer of additional support for
young people and school staff.
In the London boroughs of Sutton and Merton. we delivered awareness sessions to community organisations and
schools across all age groups on issues around hate crime- social media and online hate- disability hate and
discrimination. All sessions closed with learners having an improved understanding of the harms of hate and
encouragement of'upstander, behaviours. in response acting proath'vely and safely according to their ability and
circumstances.
The training team have had a very busy year. Wth more organisations requesting in-person delivery. our trainers
have travelled across the country delivering to universities, housing providers, financial institutions, local
authorities, faith groups and more.
National Hate Crime Awareness Week was busy as always. We supported our partners through delivery and
participation in over 25 separate events across the country. These included training sessions to young people,
community members and statutory partners- participation in local neighbourhood, speaking at conferences and
formal launch events.
While we have a comprehensive range of training resources ready to be delivered, we pride ourselves on
ensuring any training and awareness sessions delivered take place after we have engaged directly with those
requesting the sessions to identify any specific content and outcomes to be achieved, thus maximising the
opportunity to increase understanding and leaming and ensuring we meet the training needs of our dients.
Through all aspects of our work, we directly reached about 17.000 people and estimate that this rippled out to
reach more than 2.5 millionl
1.6 Developments
In June 2024, our Board of Trustees appointed a new Chair and Finan￿ Lead. Mike Theaker is the neN Chair
and has brought new energy and commitment to the Board. Mike is confident that the Charity can thrive by
attracting sponsorship and donations from the private sector. He is well connected in the car industry and is using
his contacts to help us achieve sustainable funding. In August 2024 we were fortunate in having Graham Lewis
rejoin the Board of Trustees following a 20 month 'retirement' from the Charity. Graham has exlensive knowledge
of the not-for profit sector and a long-standing appreciation of the value of the work we do particularly the 24-hour
service we provide.
In March 2025 Karyn Strickland joined the Board. Karyn has been a supporter of Stop Hate UK for a few years
prior to joining the Board so was able to contribute immediately, using her Human Resources and Equality.
Diversity, and Inclusion professional experience to support our mission.
Financial
The Statement of Financial Activites shows a net surplus for the year before actuarial gains of £14,356 (2024.. net
expenditure of £21,728) and we had a funds deficit at 31 March 2025 of £16,863 (2024.. £29,597).
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestncted funds not committed or invested in tangible
fixed assets I'the free reseves,) should be suffiicient to sustain the organisation in the event of a closure. The free
resererves at 31 March 2025 are in deficit at £16,863 and it is ￿nseNatIVelY estimated that closure costs would
be in the region of £114,800. The Trustees intend to review the reseves policy each year.
Despite a difficult year we have ended the year with a small surplus. It is important that we achieve this to ensure
we can remain at the forefront of challenging hate and ease our operations by smoothing out our cashflow. We
have focused our attention on reducing costs but maintaining a 24hour team 365 days per year means that
there is little more we can strip out without losing services lo people who need us we have ensured that the 24-
hour seNices can continue and remain at the forefront of vthat we do every day.

Plans for future periods
It is difficult to remain optimistic for the future with the increasing tensions in the country, txjt we know that the
work we do every day of the year is so important. We use this knowledge to inspire us to keep challenging and
evolving to meet the needs of the people we serve. We know that we need to invest in more marketing and
awareness raising so that people know how to reach us when they experience or witness Hate. We know that
this is far too often and that communities are growing in fear for their safety.
By maximising opportunities for sponsorship and donations and by increasing our capacity to deliver training
across the UK we expect to increase our income and provide stability for the Charity. Our Board members and
Chief Executive are using their experience of building healthy businesses to ensure that all decisions are focused
on suslainabilily and excellen￿.
As always, our thanks go our dedicated team. members. Trustees. our Patron Baroness Doreen Lawren￿ of
Clarendon OBE, of Clarendon in the Commonwealth Realm of Jamaica, our Charity Ambassador's, The Rev'd
Canon Dr Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwat1( and Gary Powell, Musician (The Libertines} and Producer and all our
donors and supporters.

a memorandum and articles of association. The Project was established in 1995 with staff seconded from Leeds
City Council and became independent of the Council in April 2000. On 6 June 2007 it changed its name from
The Leeds Racial Harassment Project to Stop Hate UK and the objects clause was amended to allow activities
outside Leeds.
The Trustees who served during the year under review and to date are set out on the Legal and Administrative
Information page. All are eligible for re-election. We continue to attract new Members and Trustees. We are are
keen to include new Trustees that bring diversity both in temis of their characteristics but also their experience
and interests.
A full-time salaried Chief Executive and a Board of Trustees manage the charitable company. The Board of
Trustees meets regularly to manage its affairs. All Trustees give their time voluntarily. Any expenses reclaimed by
Trustees from the charity are set OLrt in note 8 of the Finanaal Statements.
The Trustees consider the Chief Executive offi￿r, Director of Operations, Director of Support Services, Manager
of Support Services and Manager of On-line Services. as comprising the key management personnel of the
charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day
basis.
The pay of the charity's key management personnel is reviewed annually and nom)ally increased in accordance
with average earnings. The remuneration is also bench-marked wth organisations of a similar size and activity to
ensure that the remuneration set is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar rdes. The Trustees
regularly conduct their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been
established to mitigate those risks.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF STOP HATE UK
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the finanaal statements of Stop Hate UK (the charity) for the year
ended 31 March 2025.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees. as a body, in accordan￿ with Section 145 of the Charities
Act 2011. My independent examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's
Trustees those matters l am required to state to them in an Independent Examinevs Report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent pemiitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my independent examination work, for this repoyt, or for
the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for
the preparation of the financial statements in accordance wth the requirements of the Companies Act 2006
(the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16
of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination. I report in respect of my examination of the
charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying
out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examinerfs statement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250.000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in
section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that l am qualified to undertake the examination because l am a member

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in ac¢ordarce with
Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Finanual Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 in preferen￿ to the Accounb'ng and

examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act: or
the financial statements do not accord wth those records- or
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the
preparation of the financial statements are as follows..
Charity information
Stop Hate UK is a charitable company and is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England
and Wales. The registered office is 22-24 Harborough Road, Northampton. NN2 7AZ. The organisation's
charity number is 1062692 and its company number is 03293987.
The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. Every member of the company
undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required (not ex￿edIng £11 to the company's assets if it
should be wound up while they are a member. or y￿thin one year after they cease to be a member, for
payment of the Company's debts and liabilities contracted before they cease to be a member, and of the
costs, charges and expenses of winding up. and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories amongst
themselves.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting
and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance wth the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland

financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concem
At the balance sheet date there is a net current liability position of £16,863. The Trustees have reviewed the
current financial position and the prospects of the charity. Post year end income from helpline and other
income received is sufficient to cover liabilities as they fall due and therefore they have, at the time of
approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the charity wll continue to exist for the
foreseeable future. Interest and support in the charity and its work remains strong, donations and requests for
training support continue to be received, The charity is working towards increased uptake of its street
harassment app. The closure of the Leeds and London offices will bring cost savings and other potential cuts
to office costs are being considered. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concem basis of
accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted ￿ndS are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in fvrtherance of their charitable
objectives.
Restricted ￿ndS are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purFx)ses and
uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified
of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in
relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.
Grants, including Government Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific
perfom)ance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incu￿ed. and indudes attributable VAT which cannot be
recovered..
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the deliverance of its
activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be directly allocated to such
activities and those costs of an indirect nature ne￿SSary to support them.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake
charitable activities. Support costs include back Offi￿ costs, finan￿, personnel, payroll and
governance costs which support the Charity's activities.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets

useful lives on the following bases=
Fixtures and fittings

contractual provisions of the instrument.

Accounting policies

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is
measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets
classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Impairnlent of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for
indicators of impaimient at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objecb've
evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset,
the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present
value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss
is recognised in net incomel{expenditure) for the year.
If there is a decrease in the impaimient loss arising from an event occurring after the impaiment was
recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not
exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The
impairment reversal is recognised in net incomel(expenditure) for the year.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or
are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of
the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or seNices that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classffied as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
1.10 Taxation
stop Hate UK is a registered charity and as such is a charity within the meaning of schedule 6 of the Finance
Act 2010. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially entitled to tax exemption under part 11 of the co￿OratIon Tax
Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of income and gains arising.
1.11 Employee benefits

1.12 Pensions
The company contributes to the Pensions Trust's Growth Plan. The Plan is a multi employer pension plan. It
is not possible in the nomial course of events to identify on a reasonable and consistent basis the share of
underlying assets and liabilities belonging to the charity- In accordance with Charities SORP IFRS 1021 the
charity recognises the liability to make payments to fund the deficit relating to past Servi￿ where it has
entered into an agreement to make those payments.
1.13 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, induding any lease incentives received, are Charged as an expense
on a straight line basis over the temi of the relevant lease.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects ￿lY that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
Defined Benefit Pension
The liability in respect of The Pension Trust Growth Plan Scheme is calculated by the Scheme Actuary in
conjunction with the results of the tn-annual review of the Scheme as certified by the Scheme Actuary. The
present value of future liabilities relating to the pension scheme is materially sensitive to changes in the
underlying actuarial assumptions and estimates. particularly the rate of discount applied by the Scheme
Actuary, details of which are included in note 17.
