Henderson Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Chair's report Hello, my name is Eric Hogg., I'rn Chair of Safeline's Board of Trustees, and it's my pleasure to welwme you to Safeline's Annual Report and Accounts for 2024-25. At a time when things generally appear to be getting worse 9lobally, we hope this report will provide some hope and optimism that despite the gloomy outlook, we continue to make life better for our clients who have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse. When l joined the Board of Trustees in 2018, 1 was molivated by an increasing personal awareness of the extent of sexual abuse in all strata of our society. Sadly. since then it has become very clear that the exlent of my awareness was only the tip of the iceberg. As my awareness has grown over the last seven y6ars, so has that of society genera11y. It is still a difficult conversation to have for many people, bul with in¢￿asInglY frequent coverage of high-profile cases in the media. awareness continues to grow, and conversations are becoming easier. There remain many issues lo overcome, and victims of sexual abuse still nead exceptional courage and perseverance to pursue the justice they deserve., but Safeline wnsistently demonstrates that with the right suppjrt and guidance, they can overcome the trauma and move on with their lives. Elsewhere in this Report you will find a report written by our CEO, Neil Henderson. 11 is a passionate, honest and personal account of his motivation and the work of Safeline's staff in delivering our services to those whose lives have been imp8Cted, and often destroyed, by their experience of sexual abuse in its many forms. In his report Neil indudes two anonymous case studies which serve to demonstrate and reinforce why everyone associated with Safeline is so passionate about what we do. IVS easy to use words like 'passion' and 'commilment' in a report such as this and we risk devaluing the words if we overuse them. However, throughoLrt my business career I was often helping companies to develop an environment that encouraged development and allowed employees to maximise their potential in the pursuit of eX￿llen￿. Not surprisingly I came across many clalms from businesses about the passlon and commitment of their people. but the reality was that few lived up to those daims. It has therefore been refreshing lo be part of an organisation that really does 'live the values, and encourage everyone from senior managers lo volunteers to be pro-aclive in the development of Safeline. Rarely have I come across such genuine passion and commitment in an organisalion, and it is this personal desire by everyone in our organisation to support the victims and survivors of sexual abuse to the best of their ability, Ihal makes Safeline so special. As truslees we are not involved in th8 operational aspects of Safeline, bul we all share the passion for what we do. Having chaired many Boards and cx)mmittees over the years I can honestly say that we have a great team of Trustees who work well together to the benefit of the charity. We are a diverse group with a breadth of practical expeiience across a range of functions. Always supportive, we do not however, hesitate to challenge and test any and every aspect of what we do as a charity. Our big challenge is to sel the general direction and strategy of Ihe tharity in conjunction with the leadership team. This year, with recent uncertainties, both domestic and intemational. we had some interesting and insightful conversations about the threats and opportunities we face. The previous ten years have seen subslanlial growth in our activities and funding, and it was clear that Ihe biggest Ihreat to continuing that trend came from the uncertainty surrounding future levels of funding. mainly from Government. Prompted by that uncertainty we had in4epth discussions about future funding and once again, staff have been In¢￿dible in their proacliveness about both cost savings and potential new sources of funding. Trustees have played their part in these discussions and continue lo lend support wherever possible through their own contacts and potential leads. Innovalion has long been a strength of the Charity, and this year has tested our ability to new levels. Despite our income exceeding £2 million for the first lime, we have all been conscious of potential loss of funding as Government struggles to balance the books. Trustees were kept fully informed via our 'Risk Regislerf updates and recognised the need lo protect future capability through the judicious use of our reserves. At the same time our staff and volunteers were made aware of the potential threats. No one relishes the need to reduce costs but by adopting the same principles used in our'Quality Improvement, approach, everyone was invited lo participate in a discussion about cost saving and ideas to generate new income streams. The response was magnificent and the adoption of several 'marginal improvements, based on their suggestions has en￿uraged other innovations, all of which will have a positive impact in the future. Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Perhaps one of the most exciting innovations to emerge has been to capitalise on our experience in 'Prevention'. In recent years our prevention offering has grown, and many schools have taken advantage of the programmes designed Sp￿lfIcallY for Children and delivered both in schools and other settings. Given the obvious and very real threat lo young people posed by social media and the intemet there is a clear need for raising awareness of the potential threats and how to deal with them. Safeline is uniquely positioned in having practical experience of working with young people on these issues and is therefo￿ well placed to fulfil the need. Watch this space! Looking to the future, the only certainty is that things will get worse before they get better. There will be difficult decisions to be made, and the landscape will have changed. maybe forever. For the charity this is nothing new. Since the Covid era of 2020, staff have been responding to new scenarios and challenges. For Truslees, there will be fresh challenges about the future direclion of Safeline,. questions about how to make the best use of resources lo support the ever-increasing demand on our services. However difficult the road, we can be confident that everyone in the organisation will continue to be innovative and focussèd on supporting as many people as possible, irrespective of age, sexual orientation. QU￿ural or religious background, who have experienced or are vulnerable lo Ihe horrors of sexual abuse. Erlc Hogg, Chalr of Board of Trustees Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees.

Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (eontinu8d) Year ended 31 March 2025 Objectives and activities (continued) Fundraising SU￿SSfUllY delivering our vision and mission requires money. so we have invested in a team of dedicated fundraisinglBusiness Development professionals to help generate as muth in(x)me as possible to support as many viclimslsurvivors as we can with high-quality services. The Head of Development is a key member of Safeline's Senior Leadership Team which refiects the Importan￿ of the role. Generating income to support the activitses of the charity is an ongoing effort, not a 'starl-stop' aclivity. The p￿sence of dedicaled. in-house fundraisers allows for Ihe continuous idenlification and pursuil of income opportunities. The fvndraising team have a profound understanding and emotional connection to the charity's work., some of the team havo lived experience and are past users of our seryices. Our fundraisers are embedded within the organisation and wtness at first-hand the impact our work has on our beneficiaries. They have ready access to inlemal experts and are constantly leaming and developing Iheir understanding. This approach has enhanced the authenticity and quality of our fundraising and delivered significant income growth over the last 8-years. The tasks that can be perfomied by employed fundraisers is far more comprehensive Ihan that of freelan fundraisers which helps make our fundraising approach much more impactful and cost-effective. We currently have three full-time fundraisers, and they perfom a wide range of activities including bid writing, digilal marketing, relat￿nshiP management. marketing communications, event management. Safeline fully complies with the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice. and we have never received a complaint regarding our fundraising activities. Our Head of Development is ac￿untable for creating Safeline's fundraising Strategy, ensuring income generation is heardlowned * EX￿utive and Board level and cultivating a 'whole-team approach. to fundraising throughout Ihe organisation. Everyone at Safeline has an imFK)rtant role to play in generating income for the charity. Safeline has a fundraising strategy which is regulady reviewed and updaled. It has 4 key objeclives.. Grow income to increase our capacity to help more p￿PIe with high*uality support. Diversify income to ensure we are nol over-reli8nt on any one stream. Increase longer-temi funding, (More than 12-months). so we can plan with confidence. Increase Ihe proportion of Un￿Stricted income so we have greater flexibility to allocate these resources how and when we like. Safeline Wanmick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (contlnu•d) Year ended 31 March 2025 Obje¢tlve$ and a¢tivltles (¢ontlnufjd) Volunteers Safeline has 52 volunteers, an increase of 25 (+86°A) compared to 2023124.. We have 6 volunteer o)unsellors, 1 qualified volunteer and 5 student volunteers. This is a reduction on previous years because we have now adopted a paid ￿unsellor resourcing model. Using paid counsellors, is more expensive, but they are reliable, more experienced and better qualified allowing them to work with a wider range of clients, especially those with complex needs. Our experience is ih paid counsellors help minimise waiting times and improve outcomes because more clients can be allocated to them and they are much more experienced in supporting victimslsujvivors of sexual abuse. We have 6 volunteers that support our Prevention and Early intervention team providing support to children and young people impacted by or at risk of Child Sexual Abuse. We have 40 volunteer fundraisers, an increase of 167/0 compared to 2023124. These volunlee organise their own fundraising evenls on behalf of Safeline or support Safeline events. Safeline is a reapient of Queens Award for Volunlary service, the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK. the equivalent of an MBE. We received this in recognition of Ihe way we enable our volunleers to provide support to others within their communities. Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (eontlnu•d) Year ended 31 March 2025 Achievements and performance My name is Neil Henderson,- l am the CEO of Safeline. l am not a survivor. l am not a praclitioner who has supported survivors. I come from a business background, l am male, and "There but for the grace of God go l." I have lived a lrfe free from trauma,- l arrived al Safeline by chance and have been here now for over 10-years. Because l am not a survivor and because l am a man, l am often viewed as an outsider within Ihe sexual violence sector and possibly nol taken seriously. However, it is my view that I don't need to have experienced sexual abuse to understand that it is devaststing, and destructive. and I don't need to be a woman to understsnd the trauma and extreme fear il can cause. I have ears and I have eyes- every day, I listen lo survivors or their stories and see for myself Ihe impacl sexual abuse has on them. as as well as on families. and on communities. I donl need lo have experienced sexual abuse to want to do something about it. I have a heart, I havè a brain, and a conscience and l ￿nn01 slay silent. In a so-called civilised society, I find il abhorrent that people can inflict suth extreme trauma on anolher person. Especially on young children, some of whom are too young to be able to speak about Iheir abuse, and who cannot protect themselves. l am not a survivor, but l am a father, and I would die for my kids. No child should suffer in silence- no adult survivor should be left without SUPt)ort. The longer I lead Safeline, the angrier I bewme. Angry with Ihe people who have a responsibility lo protect and support those at risk of or impacled by sexual abuse, because they are failing. Angry at the safeguarding authorities who are meant lo prolecl our children and young people but don't. Our data shows that 1 in 3 ¢hildren and young people aged 13-14 in Warwickshire have experienced sexual assaults. That's not just a statistic. it's a crisis. l am privileged to be the CEO of Safeline because it allows me to channel this anger into positive, practical and persistent actions to protect and support the millions of people at risk of or affected by sexual abuse in England and Wales. In a previous role, I worked with a non-executlve chairman who was a hugely exper6enced and su(wsful businessman. I remember him telling me that there are only three things that are important to deliver a Su￿eSSfUl business.. "cash, cash and cash" This statement stuck with and followed me into all my roles including Safeline. Sexual abuse support agenc4es are critical to preventing abuse and supporting those already affected, but they need cash lo do it. I might not be a survivor, bui l am good at runnin9 effective businesses and al generaling income and we have done thal at Safeline which has enabled our wonderful empathetic team to transform the lives of tens of Ihousands of people. That's what's important to suNivors and the vulnerable, nol the fact that I haven'l been sexually abused or l am a man. Over the last 12-months the Safeline leam generated £2,195,694 of income, by far the highest amounl ever. More importantly, we spent £2,192,420 supporting and protecting people. This cash has enabled our team lo do great things for our beneficiaries: We directly protected and supported 11,000 people, an increase of 1.600 on the previous year. This excludes the 300,000 that accessed our website for support. We developed our services so Ihat anyone impacted by or at risk of sexual abuse could access support. Our client del￿graPhicS show that w@ support all ages, elhnicities, and abilities. Our support was timely, only one of our services had a wailing lisl. Our (x)unselling seNice had a 3-month wailing list, the average waiting time for most other specialist agencies is 12-18 months. We provided long-lemi support for beneficiaries. of counselling clienls re￿iVed support for 12-months or more. Our Independent Sexual Violence Advocates support survivors for an average of 3 years. We more than doubled the number of vulnerable children accessing our Prevention and Early Intervenlion from 987 in 2022123 10 2,134 in 2023124. Nearly 2,000 male survivors accessed our male survivor's helpline. we are one of the biggest sources of support for male survivors in England and Wales. Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Satisfaction with our support rernained very high.. Clients rated our ISVA service 9.8 out of 10. 99°A of counselling clients rated the support they r￿1Ved as ￿ery good or excellent.. 98°A of male helpline users would recommend Ihe service to others. The challenge going forward for me is clear. We want to protect children, support survivors, and hold perpetrators to account. Supporting the vulnerable is not optional. It is a moral obligation. We cannot rely on cenlral and local Government to provide the funding we need.. l am not convinced they have the will. Before joining Safeline, I was privileged lo live without a full underslanding of the scale and impact of sexual abuse in our t￿mmUnities. Now I have that understanding, I will do anything in my power to protect and support people affected. We need to build a powerful netwo￿ of supporters-people who understand, care deeply and are willing lo fund the services suNivors need and dese￿e. y motivalion for wanting to support people at risk of or affected by sexual abuse is exemplrfied by the two case studies below. These are typical of the types of people we support. 95.10 of the people Safeline supported last year, presented wth suicidal thoughts or were actively trying to kill themselves. Both cases invofve individuals abused as children by someone close to them. The impact it had on their lives was horrific. It look them years to feel safe enough to disdose the abuse and access the specialist support they needed to begin healing. This delay is often driven by a combination of fear and shame because many people in this country are loo quick tr) victim blame. and an embarrassing a lack of acce55ible specialist services to support them. The Department of Health and Social Care estimate the cost of one suicide to be £1.700,000. It costs Safeline £2,880 to provlde lon9-temi support to a client who is sulddol to help them reGover and live a trauma free life. A huge return on investment. The case studies also highlight how Safeline uses the Gash we are given by trusted supporters to invest in and develop our services and our people to provide the highest quality support. Our work is hugely effective at helping people recover so they can live a life free from abuse. Safeline Wanmick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (eontinu•d) Year ended 31 March 2025 Achlevements and perfom)ance (conllnuod) Client Case Study: 30-year-old female from Nuneaton Serrflce Accessed: Trauma Informed counselllng Referral Background.. This individual self-referred foliowng a consuttation with the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapy {IAPT), team who thoughl Safeline may be a more appropriate service. The client had been prescribed Citalopram by her GP after being diagnosed with depression and anxiety linked to Childhood sexual abuse from the age of 4 by an older brother. Although nol mentioned in her assessment, it Wame apparent during counselling that the client was in a current abusive relatsonship. 51010 of people experiencing Child Sexual Abuse end up being domestically abused. Presenting Issues.. The client was using alcohol. drugs, cutting and prescribed medication lo help her cope wilh intrusive dark Ihoughls and feelings. She was having nightmares whenever she re-visited the family home where the abuse took place. She spent a lot of time alone and said Ihal she 'overthinks' and worries that the abuse was her fault. She suffered from low self-esteem and lacked confidence. Her sleep was poor, and she had stopped eating when she became anxious and depressed. Some family members were aware of the abuse. bul her father refused to accept it. There was a difficult family dynamic however. her family remained an important part of her Support Provlded.. The client had an in-depth clinical assessment that identified her individual support needs and was allocated a counsellor best placed to deliver the outcomes she wanted. The client had 42 sessions of face-to-face trauma informed counselling in her hometown of Nunealon. The first part of her counselling involved exploring the current relationship she was in. and she began to recognise that what she had accepted as nomial was in f￿ an abusive and controlling relationship and that she had simply adapted to the toxic dynamic. The counsellor referred the client to the Safeline Safeguarding Team, and she was able to access practical advice and support through Refug8, which enabled her to safely leave the relationship. Once this aspect of her life was stabilised. she was able to shift her focus onto deeper therapeutic work. particularfy her sadness around her family's reaction to the childhood sexual abuse. She leamed to understand the family dynamics, the impact this had on her and was able to aG¢ept it and move forward. The client was very keen to work on her personal development both inside and outside of therapy and the counsellor introduced her to various resources to enable this including books, joumaling and creative expression through art which became valuable tools for self-refiection and healing. The dient also took advantage of Safeline's online self-help tool 'Taste of Recovery, which helped her while she was wailing for her counselling to slart. Out¢ome$: At the end of her counselling joumey. the client felt optimistic about her future, and felt she had the inner resources she needed to cope and recover and a deeper understanding of herself and those around her. The client fed back that she had got her Ilfe back.. had gained a new ouuook on Ilfe and relatlonshlps,. She better understood her family dynami(s and how this had impact&l her. Y have changed the way I Interact wlth them (famlty)...., The resources had been 'my safe place,. The seryice has been amazing and if it wasn't for Safellne, I do not know where I would be., Client Learningllnsights.. A key learning is the importance of the dienl's need lo build trust to disclose. The current abusive relationship came lo lohl only once the cnunsellorlclient relationship was well estsblished and it was only once this was established that the dient could propedy explore her childhood sexual abuse. This can only be achieved with longer temi counselling. Organisational Learning- The counsdlorfs recognition of the willingness of this client to engage in self-help and her subsequent inteNention of introducing tools and creative resources which the client could use as future healthier coping strategies once the counselling had ended. We now ensure that artlcreative materials are available in our counselling rooms. 10- Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees.

This client sev-referred to our ISVA service in June 2024 following a discussion with her GP. In 2021. she disclosed to the police thal she was sexually abused by a relative, at the age 7 and that the abuse had continued into adulthood. Following the disclosure, the police identified another victim that had been abused by the same perpetrator. The perpetrator had been char9ed with 18 offences and was awaiting trial at the lime of referral. The victim wanted support navi9ating the Criminal Justice System (CJS), because she was anxious. Presentlng Issues.. The trial had been originally set for July 2023 but was adjourned twice, first to March 2024 then September 2024. These delays cause(I the dient a great deal of stress and anxiety. She fell very fruslrated with the delays and was neNous about giving her best evidence. The client had taken time off work due to PTSD from the abuse and was exploring early retirement because of this. Support Provlded.. The client received support for 21-months. She received 48 sessions of SUPPDrt during that period. Support provided included: Support with Unde￿tandIng her rights and what to expect from the CJS. Requesting a special measure to allow our ISVA to accompany the client in court, to provide emotional and practical support when she was giving her evidence. Supporting the client when she attended court hearings and sentencing • Infomiing the client about the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA} and connecting her with solicitors to help her with her compensation claim. Hèlpin9 the dlent access her work and GP records for the compensation claim. Referring the dient into Safeline's trauma informed counselling session where she reogived 47 sessions of counselling to help her recover from the trauma of her abuse. Outcomes.. The perpetrator was sentenced to 30-years in prison, 21-years for offences against the client and 9 years for offences against the second victim. He won't be eligible for parole for 20 years and he will also be on the sex offenders register for lifè. The client provided feedback on her experiences and how she found Ihe support provided by the Safeline ISVA. Having the ISVA there supporting her in court made the tri81 experience 'very positive and cathartic" The client was glowing in her praise for how the ISVA supported her through the court case. -1 am on a massive high after the lengthy prosecutionj". "My ISVA is a gem. When the client exited the ISVA service, she demonstrated improved scores in all outcome measures of hea5th and wellbeing, ability to ¢ope, feelings of safety, and being informedlempowered. On a scale of 1-5, client rated the ISVA service as 5. excellent. The Client is still working with Safeline's ¢hosen solic4tors and awaiting a decision on her compensation award. Client Learningllnsights.. This case highlights that there is no age or time lirnil to reporting sexual abuse crimes. Delays to reporting can often discourage survivors from coming forward. It is important lo fftmember that historlc child abuse cases can and do lead lo convictions. Organisalional Loarning.. ISVA support is Critical in securing su¢¢essful outcomes for victims that report their abuse to the police. In this case, effective collaborative working with the poli￿ led to improved outcomes. These ways of working have now been embedded be￿een Safeline and Warwickshire Police. We also requested that the Police Communications team included in their press release about this case, the important role Safeline played in supporting the victim during the CJS process. We believe that highlighting this will encourage more victims to como forward and report, knowing that they wll have the support they need. 11 Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report {Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Achievements and porfomianco (¢ontlftu¢d) l am in¢￿diblY proud of the people that work and volunteer for Safeline. Without question, this is the most dedicated and compassionate team I have ever worked with. Il's inspiring how everyone is so committed and focused on the needs of clients, constantly striving to improve, and the empathy and support. they have both to our beneficiaries and their colleagues. Working with trauma is emolionally demanding and challenging and we support our staff to be resilient. What is bewildering is the many organisations that should be working alongside Safeline to make a difference to people's lives, often don't.

Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (¢ontinued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Finan¢lal revlew The 2024125 financial year was a successful one for Safeline. Totsl income for the year was £2,195.694, compared to £1,933.215, the previous year, an increase of £262,479, {+13.58Qk), the highest level ever. Most importantly. the charitable expenditure for Ihe year was £2,192,420, compared to £1,837,837, the previous year, an increase of £354,583 {+19.29%). Again, the highest level of expenditure Safeline has ever invested in its seNces, demonstraling our Ix)mmitment to supporting greater numbers of victims of sexual abuse with high-quality support. Safeline saves lives. Income for the year exceed￿ expenditure by £3,274. Total funds carried forward increased from £750,692, to £753,966, an increase of £3.274. Restiicted funds carried forward decreased slightly from £486,019 to £486,005, a decrease of £14. and unrestricted funds increased from £264.673. to £267,961, an increase of £3,288. Overall Financial Health Safeline's overall financial health remains good but 2025126 NMII be challenging bocause two large grants worth a combined value of £570,000 are scheduled lo end 31 March 2025. The current economic climate is also impacting other supporters and Ihere is a risk other funding may be lost. The currenl estimated income loss in 2025126 could be as high as £700.000. We knew the end dale of the two grants when we signed the grant agreements and so we slarted planning the replacement of this income over 12-months ago. Generating In￿Me to support the activities of the charity is an ongoing effort, not a 'start-Stop' activity and our development team are continuously identrfying and pursuing income opp)rtunilies. Our track record of transitioning from one funder to another to maintain services has been very g(trod over the last 6-years. Our objective in 2025126 is to ensure we sustain our services and continue to support as many people as we currently do with high-quality support. Failure to do so would have catastrophic consequences for the people we support and employ. Several actions to address this situation have already been identified and implemented.. Our dedicated Devek)pmenUFundraising team are priorrtising the identrfication of new in￿)me to replace the money that's been lost. They have focused their efforts on submitting bids for funds to those grant giving bodies who support the type of work we do,- our win rate with these organisations is 64 10. We have submitted bids to funders wilh a value of £450,000 and we afe awailing decisions on all of these. We are also wot1(ing on 5 new bids with a value of £350,IX)O. Our pipeline of opportunities is is heathy. We are planning to further diversify our income. We have ideas to strengthert our approach to community fundraising. focusing on fewer, much more profitable events. We are also enix)uraging our fundraising volunteer5 to run their own events. We aim to grow trading income by selling training servi￿$ and we are scoping opening a retail outlet. Effective social media will help generale newlincreased numbers of donors. Fundraising should be everyone's responsibility, and we are encouraging staff and Irustees to do more lo raise income for the chartiy. A staff member has already introduced us to someone that is looking to fund a full-time prevention and early inte￿entIOn post. Some of our trustees are incredibly well connected and we aim to capitalise on that. We have just been selected as the chosen charity for the B1￿InghaM Irish Cycle Appeal. because of 8 trustee's connections. this is forecast to generate £20,000. Cost savings. We are commer(ially astute, and potential exists to reduce our current cost base without adversely imp8Cting our perfomiance. We have already agreed that we will not fill certain vacancies. We have implemented a wide range of efficiency measures. which includes using technology to do things more effectively, redu(#ng travel costs through better planninglcoordinating. upskilling our people so they can do more. Using admin resource to free up clinicians to support more victims etc. 13- Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees, Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (Continu￿? Year ended 31 March 2025 We will use our accumulated reserves to maintain seNices. For many years Safeline has operated a balanced budget regime, i.e. we only spend in a year what we raise in that year. As a result, we have accumulated reserves which we intend to use should the aclions above fail to close the funding gap. Any use of these funds will be in strict accordance wilh any restrictions set by donors, and the aim will be to minimise the amount of restricted reserves used. As an organisation, we believe these actions gives us the best opportunity to maintain our financial health, nol only next year but beyond. Sustaining our current service provision is essential for the benefiaaries we support. The specialist sexual violence sector is in the worst state il has ever been. 29 agencies closed in 2024125, and many others are having to dilule their service offerings due lo financial challenges. We refuse to do this lo the people we support.. they deserve belter. We also believe that if we can sustain our services, we will be better placed than others to take advantage of any fulure fijnding opportunities that may arise. We will have retained our highly trdinedlexperienced staff. which wll enable us to mobilise any Contracts quickly. easily. effectively. We will also be able to evidence outstanding outcomes. Reserves Reserves a￿ critical to Safeline'8 Financial Planning and management processes. Trustees have adopted a progressive policy that strikes a good balance between tying up money Unne￿$Sarily, which limits the number of people we can support, and not having sufficient funds, which affects our ability lo meet our liabilities in the event of a financial crisis. It is good financial governance Ih8t any level of reserves should reflect the individual circumstances of a charity. In detemiining the level of unrestriGted reserves Safeline should hold, Trustee$ considered the following factors.. Liabilities.. The level of financial exposure in the event of insolvency or a major funding reduction. Outside of potential redundancy costs, Safeline has very few financial liabilities. Cash flow.. The risk of falling short of cash. Safeline has a very healthy working Capital position because a significant proportion of the income we receive is paid in advance of any expenditure. We also have rigorous and robust procedu￿$ to manage cash. The nature of funds.. Considerations include the source of funding, length of funding, how secure it is. and the level of unrestricted funds which can be spent on any pury)ose of the charity or used as reserves. We are forecast to lose a substantial amount of income in 2025126. however, approximately 73Yo of remaining income comes from reliable sources that remain financially secure, (Ministry of Justice, Home office, The National Community Fund. Children in Need). 70/0 of in￿)rne is currently lor more than one year and we have a reasonable level of unrestricted income, currently 8.5 10. Based on these considerations. our income remains relatively low risk given ILS source, and its duration. Fulure spending plans." The need to fund un[Und￿J postslpotential new services. New postslseNices are on implement￿￿ when we have secured income to fully fund them. Financial Ix)nlrols.' Our financial controls are robust and rigorous, independently audited annually and we have high compliance with our protocols. Given this situation. the Senior Management Team and Trustees have agreed that there should be a minimum unrestricted reserves level of £225,000. Our current level of unrestricted ￿serveS of £267,961 which exceeds the minimum limit. 14- Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (eontinued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Flnancial review (continued) Approach to remuneratlon Safeline has a remuneration policy which is reviewed and signed off by the board annually. Attracting and retaining exceptional staff is a major priority for SafeSine because it is critical lo the amount and quality of support we provide and the way we lead and manage the organisation. We also employ significant numbers of specialist roles and so we must be able to attract and retain these. The key principle underpinning Safeline's remuneration policy is 'Comparative rates of Pay,. This approach means that no person, in another organisalion, doing a similar type of role in our geographic area, will be paid rn0￿ than Safeline staff. The aim is to remove remuneration as a risk to retaininglattracting staff. Salaries are reviewed annually a5 part of the bud9et setting process. Each line manager reviews salaries and compares them lo appropriate benchmarks. If gaps are identified, proposals lo increase salaries are developed. signed off by the CEO and presented lo the board and endorsed or rejected. The annual salary review also scopes potential cosl-of-living increases to ensure the disposable income of our people isn't diluted by inflationary pressures which may Create retention risks. A 3°h cost-of-living increase was endorsed during this financial year. This approath is long-eslablished. Over the last 5-years. no member of staff has18ft the organisation because of pay and our ability to attract high-quality slafflcandidates has improved significantly. In the 2024 staff Su￿ey. 82% of staff ag￿e￿ Ihal they are fairfy remunerated. 15- Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report {Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Plans for future perlods Our major focus for the next 12-months will be to effectively execute our aclion plan to fill Ihe antic4pated 2025126 funding gap. Success will be measured by us supporting as many people. if not more, than we did in 2024125 and our support ￿mainIng high￿uallty, timely, long-term and delivering exceplional outcomes for our benefiaaries. In financially challenging situations, the 'here and now,, musl lake priority over the longer-term. However. because we have acted quickly to address the funding gap, we are hopeful that some headT￿rn will be created lo ￿nSider future plans beyond 2025126. Indeed. some of the actions within the gap filling plan, will have long-tem benefils. Key areas to be explored going fotward include.. Further diversification of our income.. 20/0 of total income currently comes from community fund￿1$1ng. we wanl to double that to 4/0 by 2026127. We have no income from Irading activities. by 2026127, we want 5•10 lo be generaled from selling our Iraining services and potentially from a retail operation. Intemal efficiencies.. We have invested in cloud based. IT systems that have transformed how we work. We know however, that we have not yet fvlly exploiled these systems and we know more could be done to reduce costs, improve ways of working, belter empower teamslindividual teams. improve the client experience. Our Head of Operations will lead a cross•organisalional projecl leam ihal will identify and deploy efficiency improvements. Leadership Development.. We will further invest in developing our senior leadership team, so they have skills, knowledge, o)nfidence. they need to effectively lead the organisation through this challenging period. We have also identified our most talonted people- we will invesl in their development so they can contribute even more to the long-term sustainability of the charity. Service Development.. Safeline generales, wmprehensive. high-quality dats about the people it supports. This data has helped identrfy several potential seryice developments that may attract funding, e.g. we have id8ntifi6d that ehildran and young people with SEND ar8 6-times more likely lo experience Chlld Sexual Abuse. Going fornard we will develop compelling cases for support and approach appropriate grant giving t)odies to secure their support. We will also explore how Al might support our praclice. Campaigning.. Our data shows us thal victimslsurvivors and vulnerable/al risk children, and young people are being cons18nlly lel down by stalutory bodies that are meanl to prote¢tlsupport them. They don't provide them with sufficient access to specialisl support. and their policies, procedures, processes don't adequately protect them. We will do more to ensure the voices of victims and vulnerable people are heard and responded to.

Matters on which we are requlred to report by oxception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees, report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you rf, in our opinion- a(iequate accounting records have not been kept. or returns adequate for our audit have nol been received from branches not visiled by us,. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums., or certain disclosures of trustees. remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the infomialion and explanations we require for our audit.. or the trustees were not entilled to prepare Ihe finanual stalements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the directors. report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Safeline Warwick Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Safeline Warwick (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Auditorfs responslbllllles for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an audttor's report that includes our opinion. Reasorsable assurance is a high level of assuran(E, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in aC￿rdance wtth ISAS (UK) wÉll always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misststemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of n0n-cornplian￿ wilh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material mis5talemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregulartties, including fraud is detailed below.. Our assessment focused on key laws and regulations the company has to (x)mply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being more susceplible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included but were not limited to Complian￿ with the Companies Act 2006, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Praclice and relevant tax legislation. We are not responsible for preventing irregularities. Our approach to detect irregularity included, but was not limited to, the following- 1. An underslanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and how the company is complying with that framework, including a review of legal and professional nominal codes. 2. Obtaining an understanding of the company's policies and procedures and how the company has complied with these. through discussions and sample testing. 3. An understanding of the company's risk assessment process. including the risk of fraud. 4. Performing audit work over the risk of management override of rA)ntrols, induding testiro of joumal entries for appropriateness. Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also consider the likelihood of deleclion based on our approach. Irregularities from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will nol detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misststement in the financial statements or non-(x)mpliance with regulation. This risk increases the more Ihal compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the evenis and transactions refflecled in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of Instan￿ of non-compliance. Also the risk of not detecting a material misslalement due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from em)r. 8s fraud may involve deliberate con￿lMent by, for example. forgery or intentional misrepresentations. or through (x)Ilusion. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-complian￿ with all laws and regulations_ As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS {UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audil. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or efror. design and perfomi audit p￿CedureS responsive to those risks. and obtain audit eviden￿ that is suffioenl and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion_ The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resutting from error, as fraud may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentations. or the override of intemal conlrol. Obtain an understanding of intemal wnlrol relevant to the audit in order lo design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on Ihe effectiveness of the group's intemal control. -20- Safeline Wanmick Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Safeline Wanmick {¢ontinued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

The financial statements are prepar￿ in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the ne8re$t £. Going concarn The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have assessed the charity's financial position, cash flow forecasts, budget projections and the availability of reserves. and are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for al least 12 months from the date of approva1 of these financial statements. As part of this assessment, the trustees considered Ihe polential impact of uncertainties in the extemal funding environment, including the risk of reduced grant income and increased competition for charitable funding. While these factors presenl an ongoing challenge for the wider sector, the trustees are confident that the charity's current reserves. commitled in(x)me, and established fundraising plans provide a sufficient buffer lo miligale these risks. Accordingly, the trustees do not consider that these risks give rise to a material uncertainty related to going concern. For this reason. they continue to adopt Ihe going concern basis in preparing the finanaal slatements. Judggmgnts and key sources of estlmallon uncertalnty The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, 8Stimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are Continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events thal are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
