Trustees’ Annual Report

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 2025. The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities, Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 201�) 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

This has been an incredibly tough year - demand for our specialist services and traumaspecific interventions remained high and our costs increased due to external pressures such as inflation and a third consecutive rise to National Living Wage which added another £15,000 to our salaries budget. We also prepared ourselves for the financial impact from National Insurance rise from 1 April 2025. Furthermore, many large trust funds that have traditionally supported Survive or specialise in trauma closed, changed criteria or gave less including The National Lottery and Henry Smith. We also became ineligible for Lloyds Bank Foundation and many other trust funds because our annual income now exceeds more than £500,000. The impact has been significant and like many other specialist sexual violence agencies, we are around £200,000 behind where we would like to be in terms of confirmed income for 2025-26. Despite this backdrop, we achieved a great deal (detailed in this report) thanks to the hard work, dedication and commitment of our team of 14.5 full-time equivalent staff, one volunteer and board of trustees.

In the last 12 months, we delivered more one-to-one hours of support than ever before. Survive had:

18,630 contacts with 1914 unique individuals (up from 15,163 with 1660 unique individuals in 23-24);
conducted 802 initial assessments (up from 675 in 23-24);
delivered 5375 hours of support work, counselling, trauma therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) (up from 4421 and 23-24).

I am so grateful to the team for their patience, support and flexibility in embracing new ways of working to help us see more survivors with less resources. Throughout this period of change, the team have continued to show compassion and kindness to survivors and give them hope for a future better than the past. The work at Survive is not easy and the teams’ resolve and resilience must be acknowledged and applauded.

For the last three years, we have received an average of 940 new referrals a year. This ‘new norm’ is putting immense pressure on charities like Survive , with demand being driven, but not necessarily funded by, local, regional and national Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategies. The York and North Yorkshire Office for Police, Fire, Crime and Commissioning (OPFCC) accounted for 41% of new referrals (down from 52% last year) and less than a third of our income, meaning more new referrals are unfunded and less of our work with survivors of sexual violence and abuse is being funded locally by the Metro Mayor. Indeed, towards the end of the reporting period, we started initiating plans to close our waiting list to unfunded referrals. Like so many other sexual violence agencies across the country - we simply cannot keep pace with demand for our specialist services and trauma-specific interventions.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

The NHS accounted for 38% of new referrals, (up from 23% last year), yet only 4% of our income. It is worth noting that nearly all (97%) of the 275 new referrals who declared a disability stated ‘mental illness’. The overlap between sexual trauma and mental ill health continues to be overlooked outside of specialist sexual violence agencies, like Survive. We must continue to highlight this overlap and the significant positive and clinical difference we make to survivors’ mental health through our specialist services and trauma-specific interventions to help the NHS, local authorities and commissioners recognise sexual trauma as the public health issue that it is.

Most of the survivors we work with have never reported what happened to them to the Police and the vast majority (60%) of new referrals continue to be adult survivors of child sexual abuse or adult survivors of child sexual abuse and sexual violence in adulthood. We know that child sexual abuse is associated with poorer outcomes in terms of later physical and mental health as well as socio-economic disadvantage. We also know from experience that these survivors are more likely to have complex PTSD and require more help for longer e.g. support work followed by counselling and trauma therapy and EMDR psychotherapy. EMDR psychotherapy continues to be the NICE-approved technique for the treatment of PTSD, and we were fortunate to expand our EMDR psychotherapist team from three to five during the reporting period.

We continued to demonstrate courageous advocacy and were delighted when the government agreed to adopt the 20 recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) following pressure from the national campaign group Act on IICSA (ick-sa) , of which Survive is a core member. We also continued to 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 and we continue to robustly rebuff any such requests.

While we received most of our funds from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Rape And Sexual Abuse Services Fund (RASASF) and from the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract, we still had to raise £196,200 ourselves to keep services running. We were pleased to hear the Safeguarding Minister, Jess Phillips MP, announce a doubling of funds for specialist survivor services and await further information on timings. In the interim, however, we will continue to further streamline services, create efficiencies and ensure every available hour counts e.g. better use of IT and systems, reduce admin burden on counsellors, reduce Do Not Attends, work with third parties to create more funded pathways for survivors.

Survivors accessing our services and interventions remain central to what we do each day. I am humbled by the trust they place in Survive to help them cope and recover. I remain as committed today as when I first joined Survive in 2020 to do whatever it takes to ensure survivors can access whatever services and interventions they need to help them heal, rebuild and thrive.

OUR PERFORMANCE IN 2024-25

OUR CLIENTS

What services we delivered

We continued to see high demand for our specialist services and trauma-specific interventions and delivered more support to more survivors than ever before. In 2024-25, we had 1,914 survivors completing, accessing or waiting for a service. Survive received 913 new referrals, conducted 802 initial assessments and delivered 5375 hours of support work, counselling, trauma therapy and EMDR psychotherapy. We also increased our number of EMDR psychotherapists to five. We were able to work with more survivors than ever before because of our continued commitment to the streamlining of processes and systems e.g. reducing admin burden on counsellors by investing in more administrator hours.

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. The OPFCC Victims of Crime contract accounted for less than half (41%) of new referrals (down from 52% in 2023-24) and less than a third (32%) of our income. This means there was a significant increase in unfunded referrals into Survive and that more of our counselling work was unfunded.

The NHS accounted for 38% of new referrals (up from 23% in 2023-24) largely driven by mental health services. Whilst we continued to receive a grant for a patient-survivor pilot from the NHS Integrated Care System (ICS) Community Mental Health Transformation Fund (CMHTF), it accounted for just 4% of our income. It is worth noting that of the 247 new referrals who declared a disability, nearly all (97%) stated ‘mental illness’. The vast majority (60%) of new referrals were adult survivors of child sexual abuse or adult survivors of child sexual abuse and sexual violence in adulthood. These factors combined will likely mean many survivors will need more support for longer because of what happened to them and will be more likely to present with PTSD and complex PTSD symptoms.

After a significant internal restructure, we were able to create parity of access to counselling between those referred via the OPFCC-funded route and those who came to Survive direct – in line with the Victims Code which states that victims of crime have the right to access support services at any time and to contact local support services directly.

We continued to facilitate offsite specialist support via an OPFCC-funded Stop So registered therapist for survivors of sexual violence who have also perpetrated or been accused of perpetrating sexual offences.

Where we delivered our services

We continued to deliver services face-to-face in York, Selby, Northallerton, Catterick and Harrogate or via telephone or online – based on client choice and suitability. During the reporting 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. We also continued to support survivors in the East Riding of Yorkshire and established a footprint in Pocklington for face-to-face counselling. It is worth noting that of the 247 new referrals who declared a disability, 91 (37%) stated ‘physical’. This means we will spend more funds on hiring off-site, accessible venues in York in the coming year to meet the needs of disabled survivors.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

Support and resources before, during and after Survive

We continued to deliver a support worker-led Helpline from 10 am to 12 noon Monday to Thursday. The helpline offers ad hoc emotional support before, during or after scheduled appointments or between blocks of therapy. The support workers also make outbound welfare calls to current clients and outbound ‘check in’ calls every quarter to those on the waiting list. In the reporting period, we received 104 inbound calls and made 88 outbound calls (more than double the 78 calls handled in 2023-24).

We helped 9 survivors make informed decisions through our Choices service 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.

Work with trusted partners to enhance survivor outcomes

We continued our conversations with partner agencies where there is potential to enhance survivor outcomes by working together e.g. York In Recovery, Probation. We were unable to capitalise on any new initiatives due to a lack of funding for strategic partnership working.

Opportunities for survivors to get involved with Survive.

We continued to encourage survivors to get involved through fundraising activities and local and national research projects and consultations. During the reporting period, we also asked survivors to write to their local MP and ask them to put pressure on the government to Act on IICSA ( ick-sa ) and adopt all 20 recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

We continued to solicit quantitative and qualitative feedback including case studies from those who exited our services. During the reporting period, of the 504 survivors who exited on completion of work with Survive (excluding the 384 who disengaged after initial assessment/receiving some support), 143 completed a feedback survey.

OUR PEOPLE

Support and supervision for staff and volunteers

We continued to deliver regular 1-1s, continued to pay for clinical supervision and established a new peer-support group for all staff and volunteers enabling them connect with each other, feel emotionally supported and share learning. Of the staff who responded to our annual wellbeing survey:

100% were clear about what was expected of them in their roles;
100% felt they could ask their manager to help them with any work problem;
100% said they received help and support from colleagues;
93.7% agreed that Survive promotes a happy, secure and stimulating environment where health and wellbeing are prioritised.

Training and personal development opportunities

We continued to invest in the professional and personal development of our people – ensuring they had the skills, knowledge and tools to work confidently and competently with

��

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

survivors. We facilitated training with a representative from Karma Nirvana on Forced Marriage and Honour Based Violence and delivered a session on guided imagery and hypnosis. We conducted annual Personal Development Reviews, delivered two face-to-face training days, secured funds for individual personal training budgets for all staff, funded ACAS and mental health training for line managers, and invested in another EMDR therapist. Where possible, we continued to promote people internally.

Of the staff who responded to our annual wellbeing survey:

100% agreed that they had received appropriate training for their role;
93.8% agreed that Survive provides everyone with the opportunity to progress and develop.

Inclusive practices

Survive continued to offer flexible working and other initiatives which contribute to being an inclusive employer and achieved Level 2 Disability Confident Committed status. We continued to offer an interview at the sifting stage to applicants with a disability who met all other role criteria. We also continued to share values-based questions with candidates ahead of their interview. During the reporting period, with the help of a Lloyds Bank Foundation consultant, we reviewed and updated all our HR policies. Of the staff who responded to our annual wellbeing survey:

100% agreed that Survive provides a safe and inclusive working environment where they felt able to express their full self and where all of their identities (race, sexuality, gender, disability) were respected and understood;
100% agreed they could discuss their physical health with their manager;
93.7% agreed they could discuss their mental health and wellbeing with their manager;
100% knew how to access mental health and wellbeing support.

Benefits

We continued to introduce and deliver initiatives to help make Survive a great place to work. We benchmarked all salaries, we continued to be a Real Living Wage employer, continued to fund a health and wellbeing package for staff, subsidised regular team building activities and contributed 5% to staff pensions. We continued to offer flexible working patterns including hybrid working to help contribute to a better work/life balance. We also introduced an extra day’s leave after three and five years of service. We lost some staff due to cost-of-living pressures and the need to move to higher paid work; turnover for the period was 13.79% (slightly less than the sector average of 15%) and retention of staff over 1 year plus was 88.88%

Of the staff who responded to our annual wellbeing survey:

100% agreed they were able to work flexibly when required;
100% agreed they were not pressured to work long hours;
93.8% agreed they were able to take sufficient breaks;
93.8% agreed Survive is a great place to work/volunteer.

Internal communications

We achieved over 85% satisfaction in most areas of our annual wellbeing survey and, during the reporting period, proactively took action to improve communications with the team in direct response to survey results. An external consultant facilitated a strategy day with the whole team – enabling them to generate our new vision, mission and values and to

��

REGISTERED COMPANY NUMBER: 03455000 (England and Wales) REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1069129 BACP MEMBERSHIP NUMBER: 00104488

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

contribute to our new strategy. We rebranded and relaunched Team Talk – our internal monthly newsletter – and launched a new ‘spotlight’ feature to help us feel more connected and help us to get to know each other and better understand our respective roles and contributions to survivor outcomes. We also responded to team feedback by establishing a staff room within the York office and significantly improved the internet connection by installing superfast broadband.

Our people as ambassadors

We encouraged our people to get involved with Survive at fundraising events e.g. York Rotary Dragon Boat and Lord Mayor events. We also supported and helped the team show courageous advocacy by writing to their respective MPs to put pressure on the government to Act on IICSA ( ick-sa ) and adopt all 20 recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

OUR STAKEHOLDERS

Networks and partnerships

Survive worked hard to ensure the survivor voice was heard in the shaping of local strategies and services by contributing to the OPFCC Sexual Violence Steering Group, VAWG Professionals working group and VAWG strategic board and the York CVS Steering Group. Survive continued to regularly engage with NHS Tees Esk Wear Valley (TEWV) mental health team – sharing knowledge, learning and a vision of a whole system approach to traumainformed care in York and North Yorkshire. Survive also contributed to The Survivors’ Trust (TST)-led meetings and workshops including the national Act On IICSA (ick-sa) campaign which successfully saw the government commit to the implementation in full of the 20 recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) including the establishment of a Child Protection Agency to protect future generations of children from sexual harm. Survive was one of 11 specialist counselling charities to contribute to British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) research entitled Bridging the Gap which focused on the impact of unfunded referrals of patients from the NHS to counselling charities.

Evidence of impact

We continued to use reliable and valid psychological assessment tools e.g. CORE10, IES-R trauma scale, to evidence significant reduction in scores and clinically important differences after Survive services or interventions.

We continued to solicit quantitative and qualitative feedback from survivors. Of 143 survivors who completed a feedback survey:

•88% felt empowered, in control, able to make informed decisions;
•87% better able to cope with everyday life;
•87% better able to understand their thoughts and behaviours;
•85% better cope with their feelings and emotions;
•78% better able to care for themselves;
•77% more optimistic for the future;
•77% felt less shame, self-blame and guilt;
•76% able to use strategies to self-soothe and ground themselves when faced with triggers.

Additionally,

•99% were able to build a trusting, working relationship with support worker, counsellor, therapist;
•98% felt supported, listened to, and understood;

��

REGISTERED COMPANY NUMBER: 03455000 (England and Wales) REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1069129 BACP MEMBERSHIP NUMBER: 00104488

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

•96% said their support worker, counsellor, therapist had the correct skills to work with their needs;

•93% were satisfied with overall experience of accessing Survive’ s services.

We secured more case studies and quotes from survivors about how our services had helped them cope and recover, heal, rebuild and thrive. Our client journey working group regularly reviewed feedback surveys and, where necessary, took action to further improve our services.

Results from the NHS-funded pilot for patient-survivors who have or are at risk of developing Serious Mental Illness (SMI) continued to show clinically important differences before and after Survive counselling and a significant number of survivors stopping or reducing their use of NHS Mental Health services after Survive counselling.

We published an annual Impact Report to help our stakeholders understand ‘what works’ with a survivor population and the difference Survive services and interventions make to survivors as well as the wider community e.g. NHS, universities, local authorities etc.

Education and training

We continued to deliver ad hoc training and presentations to those in our community keen to better understand trauma, sexual trauma and how to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation and we continued to show courageous advocacy by challenging myths and presenting facts and statistics in our external communications e.g. on website, in press releases, via social media.

Community engagement

We continued to promote fundraising events and activities and relevant research, surveys, consultations and campaigns via our website, social media and eNewsletter.

For the first time ever we secured a Dragon Boat in York Rotary’s annual event, raising £5,763.71 and were one of the chosen charities for the Lord Mayor of York. 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.

During the reporting period, we sent our eNewsletter to 467 subscribers and achieved an average opening rate of 42.5% and 36.2% unique opening – which, according to Mailchimp and MailerLite’s aggregated data, is a high email open rate, with the average being 29.49% across all industries. Traffic to our website and our social media reach and engagement increased:

website users up by 22.8% to 23,000 in 12 months to May 2025 with new users up by 25.5%;
Facebook reach up by 355.9% and interactions up by 224.5%;
Instagram reach up by 702.1% and interactions up by 100%.

Thanks to our Fundraising and Marketing Communications Coordinator, we were able to deliver more activities during Sexual Violence Awareness Week including messages from the Deputy Mayor, the High Sherrif of North Yorkshire, the Sherrif of York and the Pro-Vice Chancellor for Enterprise, Partnerships and Engagement at the University of York. We also secured an exclusive showing of Black Box Diaries at the University of York student cinema.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

Influencing societal change

Survive remains committed to evidence-based practice and making best use of anonymised data to assess the true scale of sexual violence and abuse locally; to intelligently shape local and regional strategies; to ensure sufficient options and support for survivors; and to help reduce sexual offending and the number of future victims and survivors of sexual harm.

Survive showed courageous advocacy at the regional VAWG Summit in Harrogate; we presented data which evidenced the overlap between sexual trauma and mental illness and the need for survivors services to be funded by Public Health.

Survive also continued to show courageous advocacy through its ongoing contribution to the national Act On IICSA (ick-sa) campaign.

OUR ORGANISATION

Capacity

We did not have sufficient capacity to see survivors as quickly as we would have liked due to continued high demand on our service. By the end of the financial year, we had 668 survivors on our waiting list – of which 503 were waiting to start counselling. On average, we had 693 survivors waiting per month in 2024-25 – up from an average of 449 per month in the previous year and 362 per month in 2022-23. As a consequence of continued high demand for our services, by the end of the reporting period, we were making plans to close our waiting list to unfunded referrals. We conducted more initial assessments more quickly – to achieve the KPIs set by the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract – and delivered more therapy hours with our 14.5 FTE staff – as a result of further streamlining of processes and procedures.

Income

We continued to receive MoJ RASASF funds and funds from the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract which accounted for 29% and 32% of our income respectively. We received £19,875 from the NHS Community Mental Health Transformation Fund for year two of a pilot pathway for patient-survivors which equated to 4% of our income. The remaining 36% of our unrestricted income came from trust funds, applications, appeals, fundraising events and activities and individual donors which included funds from two new trust funds to whom we are extremely grateful: The Sara Charlton Foundation and the Dashlight Foundation. Survive is fully reliant on these extra sources of income in order to deliver its full range of services and interventions to those who either self-refer into Survive for counselling or access our helpline, support work, trauma therapy or EMDR psychotherapy. We continued our dialogue with the Catholic Church for the delivery of counselling to those impacted by sexual abuse within their church.

IT requirements

We continued to use IT to support and further streamline our work and enhance the survivor journey and developed more online resources for survivors on our website and social media platforms.

We continued to deliver around half our services and interventions online or via telephone and were able to secure an upgrade to the wi-fi in our York office for free thanks to FastR Broadband.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

External communications

We continued to show courageous advocacy, champion what works with the survivor population and facilitate the voice of survivors (directly and indirectly) at conferences, in meetings, via the media (TV, radio, press) and through our website and social media.

We contributed to local and regional VAWG and SVA strategies and to sector-specific consultations and research. We continued to contribute to the national Act On IICSA (ick-sa) campaign and issued regular press releases and regular eNewsletters to our supporters.

Memberships, accreditations and accolades

We continued to promote our The Survivor Trust accreditation - a kitemark for the delivery of trauma-informed services and trauma-specific interventions to survivors of sexual violence and abuse including survivors of child sexual abuse.

FUTURE PLANS

There is much work to do - if Survive is to meet the demand for our services and interventions and see more survivors more quickly. In the coming year, we plan to:

Continue to deliver quality, safe services and interventions;
Continue delivering the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract and continue to ensure parity of access between those referred via the OPFCC and those who come to Survive direct;
Further review the client journey and further streamline processes and work smarter to reduce Did Not Attends (DNAs), reduce early exits and increase attendance rates to ensure that resource is directed to those ready for our services and interventions;

The CEO also line manages the Fundraising and Marketing Communications Coordinator.

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. Regarding members of the Board of Trustees who have been in office for the same length of time, the members to retire shall be selected by lot. 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.

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.

During the reporting period we appointed two new trustees and said farewell to two. In May 2025, we said farewell to our Chair, Ann Morgan who had been a trustee with Survive for seven years and appointed a new Chair and Vice Chair from the current Board as well as two new trustees.

During the reporting period, the Board of Trustees worked with an external consultant to develop a new trustee framework to help guide their work, meetings and interactions with the CEO and SMT.

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

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 agendas for the Board of Trustees, Senior Management Team and sub-committee meetings.

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, an increase to National Insurance contributions from 1 April 2025, the subsequent impact on salary costs as well as the cost-of-living crisis and its potential impact on staff turnover and retention. Demand for Survive’s services and interventions continued to be a challenge, in particular the safe ‘holding’ of clients waiting for services. Towards the end of the reporting period, Survive started to initiate plans to close the waiting list to any unfunded referrals. Without long-term, strategic funding for survivors of sexual violence and abuse, Survive will not be able to meet demand and will have to cap access to its services based on available resource.

The Survive Risk Register details all risks and mitigations, categorised under the following broad headings:

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 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 was £545,521 . This shows a decrease of income of £85,898 (-13.6 % ) compared to the previous year ( £631,419 ). All funding received has enabled service delivery and organisational running to provide vital support for our clients. It also assisted in meeting increased demand for our services including from clients with increasingly complex needs.

The expenditure over this period was £593,525 with an increase in expenditure of £87,827 (+17.4%) compared to the previous year (£505,698 ).

The net deficit for 2024-25 is £48,004 and funds brought forward on 1 April 2024 were £390,180. Therefore, the total funds carried forward 31 March 2025 were £342,176 .

RESERVES POLICY

Survive aims to accumulate sufficient free reserves of unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets 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 the restructuring of the organisation whilst meeting its ongoing obligations;
Meet the costs of a planned closure.

��

REGISTERED COMPANY NUMBER: 03455000 (England and Wales) REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER: 1069129 BACP MEMBERSHIP NUMBER: 00104488

Trustees’ Annual Report (cont).

The Trustees of Survive aim to hold free reserves equivalent to approximately three months budget-level expenditure of unrestricted funds. For the 2025-26 financial year this would equate to free reserves of £255,000. We hold a designated planned closure costs fund, which would cover the costs of closing the organisation in a responsible way.

Total reserves at year-end are £342,176, of which £138,237 are restricted, £2,953 of unrestricted funds related to Tangible Fixed Assets. There are £94,591 designated funds, as such, free reserves are currently £106,395 which means that there is a gap in the level of reserves needed of £148,605. The Trustees will aim to increase the level of reservices held during the coming 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 2025.

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.

SURVIVE (SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

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

The Charitable Company is a private Company limited by guarantee, which is incorporated and registered in England and Wales (no. 03455000). The Charity number is 1069129. In the event of the company being wound up or disolved, the members' liability will not exceed £1.

The address of the registered office and principal place of business is 2nd Floor, 25 Micklegate, York, YO1 6JH.

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 and Rebublic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities CORP FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Rebublic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

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.

��

SURVIVE (SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 - continued

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

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
