Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).
The Board of Trustees, who are also Directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities, Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2015) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
FOREWORD – by the Survive CEO Mags Godderidge
It has been another incredible year at Survive in which we became the only accredited, specialist sexual violence agency in York and North Yorkshire. Attaining The Survivor Trust (TST) kitemark for the delivery of services to adult survivors of sexual violence and abuse not only reassures survivors that we have the skills and knowledge to help them safely address their trauma, it also reassures donors, funders and commissioners that the trauma-informed services and trauma-specific interventions we deliver are high quality and evidence-based.
Last year, we delivered more one-to-one hours of support than ever before. Survive had:
-
15,163 contacts with 1660 unique individuals (up from 11,172 in 22/23);
-
Conducted 675 initial assessments; and
-
Delivered 4,421 hours of support work, counselling, trauma and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) sessions (up from 4,095 in 22/23).
What is so extraordinary is that we achieved all this with just 14 full-time equivalent staff, 4 volunteers and 8 trustees. Survive could not do what it does without the dedication and commitment of its team, volunteers and trustees. As Chief Executive Officer, I am so grateful to every one of them. Simply put without whom Survive could not operate. In addition, to their individual skills and knowledge, they bring compassion, kindness and hope to survivors.
While new referrals appear to have plateaued at around 1000 a year, we must not forget that this figure has more than doubled since 2018/19. This was driven most recently by the intense local, regional and national focus on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and continued publicity and media coverage surrounding sexual violence and its impact.
Around half (52%) of the new referrals came via Office Police, Fire, Crime and Commissioning (OPFCC)-funded Victims of Crime contract and around a fifth (23%) came from the National Health Service (NHS). While the proportion of new referrals from the NHS remained largely the same, there was an increase in the proportion of new referrals from NHS mental health services.
The overlap between sexual trauma and mental ill-health is often overlooked outside of specialist sexual violence agencies like Survive . It is incumbent on us to continue to evidence and highlight this overlap as well as the positive difference we make to survivors’ mental health. We must help the NHS, local authorities and commissioners reframe sexual trauma as the public health issue that it is.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).
Survive has achieved a great deal in past year:
-
Achieving TST accreditation;
-
Introduced a new counselling services structure and streamlined processes which enabled us to see more survivors more quickly;
-
Launched two pilots – one for patient-survivors and one for student-survivors.
-
Continued engagement with relevant steering groups, networks and partnerships − including the national #ActOnIICSA working group. This group seeks the establishment of a Child Protection Agency to protect future generations from sexual harm by enacting all 20 recommendations published by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) in 2022; and
I was personally delighted to meet Professor Alexis Jay OBE (who led the IICSA) at an event at the House of Commons attended by the then Home Secretary, Rt Hon James Cleverly MP.
Survive continues to actively demonstrate its core value of courageous advocacy. As a charity, we challenge both the police and prosecutors requesting access to client counselling records. Our position remains that it is intrusive, re-traumatising and in most cases, unnecessary and disproportionate. We are unwavering in our stand with survivors to keep information, which is almost certainly special category data, private. We will continue to robustly rebuff any such information requests and continue to lobby relevant authorities to seek changes to this practice.
The impact to Survive’s salary costs of two consecutive annual increases to the National Living Wage cannot be underestimated. We hope to return to being a Real Living Wage Employer in the near future. While we receive most of our funds from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASASF) and the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract, we still had to raise more than £100,000 to keep services running and meet demand for our specialist services.
Survivors accessing our services are always central to what we do. Each day, I am humbled by the trust they place in Survive to help them to come to terms with what has happened to them. Through no fault of their own, their lives have been turned upside down and changed forever because of a heinous crime committed on them. I remain resolute today, as I have been since I took up the leadership role, in my commitment to do whatever it takes to ensure survivors get the support they need to rebuild their lives, relationships and reach their potential.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).
The objects of the company (charity) are to relieve the needs of individuals affected by sexual and domestic violence. Our strategy focuses on our clients, our people, our partners and funders and our communities.
Our client strategy is to deliver specialist trauma-informed services (including support work and counselling) and trauma-specific interventions (including trauma therapy and EMDR) to survivors to reduce their psychological distress and trauma symptoms and help improve their mental health and ability to cope with everyday life.
Our people strategy ensures that our people have the skills, knowledge and tools to safely, competently and confidently help survivors rebuild their lives, relationships and reach their potential.
Our partners and funders strategy ensures we have sufficient funds in place to deliver the strategy and achieve the Charity's aim.
Our community strategy ensures those in our communities better understand the prevalence and harm caused by trauma and sexual trauma.
OUR PERFORMANCE IN 2023-24
OUR CLIENTS
Increased capacity
We continued to see high demand for our specialist services. In 2023-24, Survive received 975 new referrals. Whilst new referrals appear to have plateaued at around 1000 a year, it is still more than double the number we received five years ago. The OPFCC Victims of Crime contract continued to account for around half of new referrals (52%). Whilst referrals from the NHS continued to account for around 1/5 of new referrals (23%), there was a marked increase in the number of referrals from mental health services (60% in 23/24 vs 22% in 22/23). This is likely driven by an NHS pilot. The vast majority (67%) of new referrals had been subjected to CSA or CSA and adult sexual violence or multiple incidents of sexual violence. Furthermore, of those who stated a disability, 55% stated ‘mental illness’.
These factors combined will likely mean many survivors will need more support for longer because of what happened to them and the presence of PTSD and complex PTSD symptoms.
Demand for our services is definitely influenced by local, regional and national VAWG strategies. The strategies encourage women and girls to report sexual violence to the Police and to seek help to cope and recover from the impact. During the reporting period, we were delighted to receive additional funding from the OPFCC for trauma therapy and additional funds from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). This allowed us to further increase capacity by expanding our counsellor team and trauma/EMDR therapists.
Client journey working group
This working group continued to focus on reviewing and streamlining processes and systems to enable us to see more survivors more quickly. As a result, we are able to offer - on average - an initial assessment within a week of contact, counselling within four months and trauma therapy within five months.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).
OPFCC-funded contract for Victims of Crime service
Survive continued to deliver counselling to survivors of sexual and/or domestic abuse in York and North Yorkshire (excluding Scarborough and Ryedale) under the OPFCC-funded Victims of Crime contract. We continued to sub-contract other Victims of Crimes with enhanced entitlements to Community Counselling Limited. In addition, Survive continued to support survivors from Scarborough and Ryedale who wanted to access our specialist sexual violence services.
Helped survivors make informed decisions
We helped 16 survivors make informed decisions about their options including reporting, not reporting, supplying anonymous intelligence or engaging with Restorative Justice. We also helped survivors make informed decisions about whether to disclose some, none or all of their counselling records to the Police and prosecutors. As appropriate with client and former clients’ consent, we provided bespoke reports. Where necessary, we continued to use translators to make services more accessible to those for whom English is not their first language.
Face to face via telephone and online service delivery
We continued to deliver services face-to-face or via telephone or online – based on client choice and suitability. During the report period, all initial assessments were delivered remotely. Support work was predominantly delivered remotely (client choice) and counselling was about 50/50 face-to-face versus remote.
Helpline delivery
We continued to deliver a Helpline from 10 am to 12 noon Monday to Thursday. In this time period, 78 survivors and non-survivors were supported with 70% of callers stating they found the call helpful. The helpline is an extra resource available to those waiting for our services or those who need some additional emotional support between scheduled appointments or during planned breaks between blocks of therapy. The support workers who run the helpline also make outbound welfare calls to current clients and towards the end of the reporting period, also started to make outbound ‘check in’ calls to those who had been waiting over six months to start a service.
East Riding of Yorkshire survivors supported
We continued to support survivors in the YO41, YO42 and YO43 postcodes of rural East Riding of Yorkshire.
Specialist support for dual experience clients
We continued to facilitate offsite specialist support via an OPFCC-funded Stop So registered therapist for survivors of sexual violence who had also perpetrated or been accused of perpetrating sexual offences. This work continued to be delivered off-site.
Showing Survive’s impact
Scores from reliable and valid psychological assessment tools were used to evidence positive change following Survive services. For example, CORE10 first and final session scores from 220 survivors evidenced a statistically significant change (Z= -11.17, p<.001): 64.3% of survivors showed reliable improvement with 37.8% showing clinical change. Similarly, Impact of Event Scale (Revised) first and final session scores for 78 survivors evidenced statistically significant change ( t[77] = 7.21, p<.001). We secured more case studies and quotes from survivors about how our services had helped them cope and recover from what happened and rebuild their lives and thrive. Survivors continued to complete survey feedback forms which are reviewed, and as appropriate, we take action to improve services.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).
Engage service-users in what do
We encouraged survivors to get involved through fundraising activities and local and national research projects and consultations.
Launched an NHS pilot pathway for patient-survivors
With a small grant from the NHS Integrated Care System (ICS) Community Mental Health Transformation fund, we undertook a pilot pathway from General Practitioners (GPs) and First Contact Mental Health Practitioners (FCMHP). This was offered to patients who identified as survivors. Early results showed that those accessing this service have Serious Mental Illness (SMI) or are at risk of developing SMI; that all had either accessed or were waiting to access mental health services in the previous 12 months; and that 90% of the patient-survivors who completed 10 sessions of Survive stabilisation counselling, plan to reduce or stop using NHS mental health services in the future.
Launched an eight-week counselling service for student-survivors
With funds raised by University of York students during April 2023 ROSES23 sporting event, Survive funded a new eight-week pathway for student-survivors. The outcomes from this pilot will be contrasted with previous student-survivor interventions. The learnings will help shape the future services offered.
OUR PEOPLE
Attracting diverse talent and disability-confident committed
Survive continued to offer an interview at the sifting stage to applicants with a disability who meet all other role criteria. We continued to share values-based questions with candidates ahead of their interview. This has meant we successfully expanded the team without advertising and at times, we were able to promote from within.
New counselling structure
A new structure for counselling is in place. Three lead counsellors are now engaged in more day-to-day line management responsibilities for a small team of counsellors.
Making Survive a great place to work
We continued to deliver initiatives to help make Survive a great place to work and introduced new ones. We offer comprehensive inductions to new starters, have annual appraisals with staff, subsidised regular team building activities, have monthly team meetings and issue monthly Team Talk newsletters, funded a health and wellbeing package for staff and contributed 5% to staff pensions. We have adopted flexible working patterns including hybrid working – contributing to a better work/life balance.
Annual wellbeing survey
Survive continued to learn and improve the staff/volunteer experience by reviewing and acting on responses to the annual wellbeing survey.
Investing in our people
Survive continues to invest in its people. We facilitated training days in October, last year, and April, this year. All counsellors are now trained to conduct initial assessments. Guest speakers at monthly meetings allowed counsellors to learn more about areas outside of their own work and better understand how these other services may help our survivor clients. In this time period, we also introduced individual training budgets to support more individualised training.

OUR PARTNERS & FUNDERS
Contributing relevant steering groups, networks and partnerships
Survive continued to contribute to the OPFCC Sexual Violence Steering Group; and the OPFCC VAWG Professionals working group. Our CEO joined the OPFCC VAWG strategic board and the York CVS (Community Voluntary Service) Steering Group. Survive continues to regularly engage with Tees Esk Wear Valley (TEWV) – sharing knowledge, learning and a vision of a whole system approach to trauma-informed care in York and North Yorkshire. Survive also contributes to The Survivor Trust-led meetings and workshops. In addition, Survive joined the national #ActOnIICSA working group which seeks the establishment of a Child Protection Agency to protect future generations of children from sexual harm.
Delivering quality and safe services
A full review of practice policies and procedures took place and Survive secured TST accreditation – a kitemark for the delivery of trauma-informed services and trauma-specific interventions to survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
Securing diverse funding
During the reporting period, in addition to securing ongoing funding from the MoJ and the OPFCC, Survive secured £193,787 from funding applications, an appeal letter and individual donations. Survive also updated its fundraising strategy to ensure sufficient and diversity in funding streams for the next 2-3 years. Survive was once again the chosen charity partner for the all-female brass band Femmes Fortissimo as part of the programme for International Women’s’ Week in York.
Delivered training and presentations
Survive continued to deliver ad hoc training and presentations to third parties keen to better understand trauma, sexual trauma and how to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation.
OUR COMMUNITIES
Recruited marketing communications coordinator
We recruited a marketing communications coordinator who enabled us to update our website and social media accounts, produce our first ever impact report and launch a regular eNewsletter.
With this support, Survive was able to engage former service-users and survivors in our work – from fundraising activities to engagement with research and consultations. We were also able to deliver a broader range of activities alongside the University of York during Sexual Violence Awareness Week in February, this year.
Engaged with the media
Survive issued regular press releases and responded to press, TV and radio enquiries.

FUTURE PLANS
We are not complacent; there is still much work to do if Survive is to meet the demand for its specialist services and see more survivors more quickly. In the coming year, we plan to continue:
-

-
Delivering the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract and to create parity of service between those referred via this route and those referred by other routes.
-
Using our Helpline to make welfare calls and ‘check-in’ calls to those waiting for our services.

-
Evaluating the NHS pilot and the difference our services make to individual patientsurvivors through improving their mental health as well as our contribution to the NHS in reducing future reliance on NHS services.
-

The CEO also line manages the Marketing Communications Coordinator.
The CEO regularly meets with other charities who share our vision and values to establish potential opportunities for collaborative working. During the reporting period, Survive worked with Community Counselling Limited (CCL) to provide support to survivors of sexual violence and abuse in Ryedale and Scarborough. Survive provided support work to complement CCLs counselling offer. Survive also sub-contracted counselling support for adult victims of crime (non-sexual violence and non-domestic violence) to CCL.
The People Sub Committee (PSC), which includes all line mangers, review and benchmark all salaries annually against similar roles in similar organisations and locations. The PSC make recommendations to the Board of Trustees who review the recommendations with input from the Treasurer. The Board of Trustees conduct a similar exercise for the role of CEO.

Appointment of trustees:
At the first and every Annual General Meeting, all officers and one-third of the nominated members of the Board of Trustees, or if their number is not a multiple of three then the number nearest to one-third, shall retire from office. The members to retire shall be those longest in office since their last election.

A retiring Board member shall be eligible for re-nomination. Co-opted members of the Board shall retire at the Annual General Meeting following their appointment but shall be eligible for further cooption.
The Board identifies the need for additional trustees arising from resignations or through the identification of specific requirements for skills and experience.
Trustee vacancies are publicised in appropriate forums and on the Survive website – they are based on generic or specific role descriptions, as required. Adverts are placed on specific job boards such as Young Trustees, Queer Trustees, Action for Trustee Racial Diversity UK.
Prospective trustees can approach the Charity of their own volition. Although Survive has a need for Trustees with specific skills and knowledge, a number of positions are generic to achieve a Board with a mix of backgrounds and life experience. Survive actively encourages applications from survivors.
Prospective Trustees wishing to discuss specific access requirements to enable them to take up the role can contact a named individual given on the role advert.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The CEO and Trustees of Survive have assessed the risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that processes and systems have been established to mitigate them and ensure the long-term viability of Survive . Led by the CEO, Risk Management is a standing item on the meeting agendas for the Board of Trustees, Senior Management Team and subcommittee.
A Business Continuity Policy has been established, and an Incident Management Procedure has been devised. A business continuity test is held annually.
During the reporting period, Survive continued to monitor and manage risks including an increase to the National Living Wage. This included its impact on salaries, the cost-of-living crisis and its potential impact on staff turnover and retention.
Demand for Survive’s specialist services continued to be a challenge, in particular the safe ‘holding’ of clients waiting for services.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Financial Review
The total income for 1[st] April 2023 to 31[st] March 2024 was £631,419. This shows an increase of £158,700 (+34%) compared to the previous year (£472,719). All funding received has enabled service delivery and organisational running to provide vital support to our clients. It allowed Survive to continue providing critical support with increased demand for our services and clients referred were often experiencing increasingly complex needs.
The expenditure over this period was £505,698, with an increase in expenditure of £94,183 (+23%) compared with the previous year (£411,515). The net income for 2023/24 is £125,721 and funds brought forward on 1[st] April 2023 were £264,459. Therefore, the total funds carried forward as at 31 March 2024 were £390,180.
Reserves Policy
Survive aims to accumulate sufficient free reserves of unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible assets in order to:
-
support those projects, and the general costs of the organisation, where expenditure is incurred before funding is reclaimed
-
finance development of new activities to the stage where external funding can be obtained
-
provide time to seek new funding sources at a project’s conclusion or facilitate restructuring of the organisation whilst meeting its on-going obligations
-
meet the costs of a planned closure
The Trustees of Survive aim to hold free reserves equivalent to approximately six months budget-level expenditure of unrestricted funds. For the 2024-25 financial year this would equate to free reserves of £250k. Total reserves at the year-end are £390,180, of which £242,913 are restricted. £2,483 of unrestricted funds related to Tangible Fixed Assets. There are £53,406 designated funds, as such free reserves are currently £91,378, which means there is a gap in the level of reserves needed of £159k. The Trustees’ will aim to increase the level of reserves held during the coming year.
Independent examiner
Mr Adrian Rodaway FCA, BFP, DChA of HPH, Chartered Accountants was appointed Independent Examiner to the charity during the year.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Survive (Support for Survivors of Rape and Sexual Abuse)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and the charitable company’s trustees as a body in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Company’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 I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Legal entity
Survive is regulated by the Charity Commission (1069129), limited by guarantee and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office and principal place of business is 2nd Floor, 25 Micklegate, York, YO1 6JH. In the event of the company being wound up, the directors liability will not exceed £1.
b) Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011.
Survive meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The accounts are presented in UK Sterling pounds (£).
c) Going concern
The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic climate and its potential impact on the sources of income and planned expenditure. They have a reasonable expectation that adequate financial resources are available to enable the Charity to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and have adequate contingency plans in the event that income streams are reduced. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Charity is a going concern.
d) Income
Donations
Donations receivable for the general purpose of the Charity are credited to "unrestricted funds". Donations for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to "restricted funds" where these wishes are legally binding on the Trustees.
Other trading activities
All other incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Position (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Investment income
Investment income has been accounted for on a cash receipt basis.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
e) Expenditure
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer-term liabilities. Expenditure attributable to more than one cost category is apportioned to them on the basis of the estimated amount attributable to each activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriate.
Governance costs are costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. They include independent examination fees and estimated costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity. Support costs are those incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity.
f) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost a minimum of £750. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity less depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their expected useful lives on a straight line basis. The rates used are as follows:
Computer equipment - 25% straight line Refurbish - 25% straight line
g) Taxation
As a registered charity, Survive is exempt from the tax on income falling within sections 466 to 493 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 to the extent that this is applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the Company.
h) Fund accounting
Funds comprise unrestricted funds which have not been designated for other purposes, and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in accordance with the charitable objectives. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
i) Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company manages a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
j) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts d

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
k) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and any short term deposit accounts with a maturity of three months or less from the date of opening.
l) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade
