Achievements and Performance
Restore Project
vulnerable women and women involved in prostitution. The project offers opportunity for chaplaincy and support for these women.
Key Activities and Achievements
This year Restore has continued to develop into different areas of the Sex Industry. We have continued monthly Street Outreach in partnership with the NHS Sexual Health team, offering sexual health screening kits, contraception, and hot drinks to women during their working hours on the street and within massage parlours. We added a new outreach space to an Adult sex club in Derby City Centre.
In alignment with our mission to foster safe spaces in a trauma informed way, in March 2025 we began a new Music Therapy group, to encourage creativity and enhance wellbeing. This has been a successful space where women have been welcomed and found community.
We have also continued with our Drop-in space at Derby University in partnership with Student Support Services with the aim to connect to students who have engaged with the Sex Industry, offering a chaplaincy support service and education about safe sex.
We have been recognised by Derbyshire Constabulary and have received funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner to continue our work.
During 2025 we have developed our social media presence which has included the production of podcasts bringing awareness of those working in the Sex Industry.

WELL (DERBY)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
-
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
