CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) PATRON. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Our Patron HH Christopher Critchlow DL I was delighted to accept the invilation to become Patron of Calalysl Support. I first came across its work some years ago, when I was the Resident Judge of Guildford Crown Court. It is important forjudges of the Crown Court to know about the help that may be available to those they have to sentence. in the hope that correct decisions may be made. My contact with the Probation Service caused me to visit and learn about the day-to- day work being done in Guildford, at that time mainly with those with drug problems. Then, I discovered in my year as High Sheriff of Surrey in 2022123 how the work of the charity has grown and developed considerably in the past ten years, with your provision of much greater help in the field of mental health. It was a revelation to me to find out how large the charity has become and how important it is to so many people in the county. It is clear that the trustees and the team led by CEO Sue Murphy are working wonders. The variety of programmes is impressive. Partnerships with different agencies appear to be thriving, and such collaboration strikes me as a sure way to obtain even better results for all those who benefit from the charity's servI￿s. I wish to see more of the charity's work first-hand, including the Outline listening service, the Cuckooing team, and the Women's Support Centre. I can then talk about your work more knowledgeably to my contacts in Surrey. I thought the Hope Project last June was very well done, and I visited the shop in Godalming and found out how that has developed and now benefits so many. It is my pleasure to get to know the trustees, the front-line workers, and the volunteers. I saw the warmth there was between everyone at the awards ￿remonY at the Harbour Hotel in Guildford that recognised employees. The value of your mental health work. your counselling. and your support for so many is vital. To all of you, I offer my sincere congratulations. His Honour Christopher Critchlow DL Page 2

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) PATRON. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Chair of Trustees, Statement Over the last few years, Catalyst Support has stsbilised its client services while also taking advantage of opportunities to improve and to expend where it is safe to do so. Having come to the rescue of Surrey s 'Outline charity, we completed its merger into Catalyst Support and commenced our LGBTQ+ listening service. We have also integrated the Women's Support Centre. a place of refuge and safety for women dealing with abuse, discrimination. and trauma, into Catalyst Support from Woking Borough Council. Bringing new servI￿s, of which these are just two, into the charity takes a lot of time and commitment from many people, and I thank them all for their very hard work in this regard. It is also not easy in the current economic climate to find and secure funding for the running of services, nor indeed more established ones. with many traditional funders struggling to stay afloat themselves. I thank our funders and donors from the bottom of my heart for all their support and their belief in what we do and how we do it. Finding new monies and being more effective and efficient in how we deliver our many varied services to our clients takes up a lot of management time and often requires increased dialogue and support from the board and individual trustees. More often than ever. the charity now works in partnerships with others, thereby ensuring we can reach more people efficiently and in a cost-effective way. Our CEO comments more on partnerships and the leading role Catalyst Support plays in her report. Delivery on the review of the structure and strategy of the charty, including its estate and services, is well underway. This included bringing onboard a new IT partner that enhances the security of our systems and data. It also allows us to progress to a new level with regards to our digital strategy. We have also increased our social media presence and reached out to clients and others in different ways. As Catalyst Support's tenure at Jenner Road comes to an end in 2024, the Trustee Board has made available resources thal will enable the charity to operate in more suitable and modem buildings. We want our buildings and the premises we use to be fully accessible to all. Our premises of the future will be welcoming spaces that can help remove barriers and enable access to everyone to participate equally, confidently, and independentiy. Disability Rights UK states that an accessible built environment is also vital for improving sustainability. as it is used more efficiently and is more flexible and adaptable for different users and uses. So, these changes will also help Catalyst Support in many ways as we journey to be carbon neutral. The Board has also been acutely aware of the financial challenges employees have faced in their own lives, in common with many other people in the community. Appropriately, the Trustee Board approved a fair pay increase of 60/0 across the board in our workforce, who do such fantastic work for the charity and the people of Surrey, no matter how difficult the challenges. As the charity now enters its 35th year, the board and senior management continue to work tirelessly to deliver strategic direction, good governance. and fiscal responsibility and accountability which will enable the charity to continue to thrive and improve people's lives not just across Surrey but also in those neighbouring areas, where we now have a footprint.

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) PATRON. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Chief Executive's Statement A staff s experience with partnership services highlighted the powerof strong internal and external collaborations. Building solid intemal partnerships not only boosts teamwork but also cultivates a more fulfilling and productive work environment. This underscores the crucial role of these connections in achieving success and job satisfaction, as well as in maintaining effective relationships with external partners. Catalyst Support collaborales with various Surrey organisations. including VCSEIF, health and social care providers, the county council, and local districts and boroughs, to provide accessible services to residents. These partnerships bring diverse perspectives, inspire new ideas, and promote innovative problem-solving. They also support personal growth and professional development through continuous learning and knowledge exchange, enhancing service quality. By focusing on social determinants of health. Catalyst Support addresses systemic issues behind health disparities, nurturing a culture of continuous improvement. Regular knowledge sharing and feedback sessions keep employees and teams updated and refine their skills. Exposure to varied health and social care settings improves employees, cultural competency. leading to more effective and equitable Servi￿ delivery. A collaborative Workpla￿ offers numerous benefits, from increasing employee satisfaction to driving innovation. It encourages creative thinking and the sharing of unique insights, fostering a culture of experimentation and risk- taking. The right technology is essential for facilitating collaboration, enabling seamless communication, remote teamwork, and the integration of diverse viewpoints. which are key to innovation and client safety. We foster a safe working environment which is vital for encouraging open communication and innovative solutions.

This not only improves the quality of life for Surrey residents but also attracts new businesses and talent to the charity, which helps boost economic growth, prosperity. enhances teamwork, promotes creativity and empowers individuals to reach their full potential. I would like to express my gratitude to the employees of the charty for their participation throughout the year, in our internal collaborative approach to designing our service delivery model. They also helped us to better understand what is expected of us in terms of service delivery by enhancing communications using technology and meeting facilitation, defining roles and responsibilities. and promoting an inclusive, diverse, and healthy culture. To our volunteers, my appreciation and thanks go to you for your commitment and support to colleagues, without your support we couldn't achieve such outstanding accomplishments. Sue Murphy Page 4

By involving clients in the design and delivery of programmes, the charity can create more effective and impactful interventions that address the root causes of the challenges faced by adults in Surrey. Projects are funded through commissioned work by Surrey County Council, Public Health, and the NHS via the Integrated Care System of Surrey Heartlands and Frimley Health and Care, as well as SaBP {Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust), the Office of Police and Crime Commissioner, and the National Community Lottery Fund. Volunteers In addition to paid employees, much of the work that Catalyst Support delivers is possible thanks to dedicaled trained counsellors, volunteers, and peer support workers, offering a range of support for individuals, groups, administration, and the charity's books and vinyl shop often providing additional support that is rarely funded. Our trustees are also all volunteers. All Catalyst Support services are free and confidential, and most are open for self-referral.

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Achievements and Performance Catalyst Support welcomed Outline Service to the charity and is committed to supporting the listening service. Catalyst Support welcomed Women's Support Centre, Surrey. to help it continue to provide help for women in difficult situations. Catalyst Support secured a Community Connections contract and will be providing this service in partnership with Richmond Fellowship and Mary Frances Trust for the next 5 years. Catalyst Support has secured the Liaison and Diversion contract and will be able to provide the support offered by this service for Ihe next 5 years. Alpha Community Outreach received the SME Surrey silver award for Community Business of the Year and has been selected again as a finalist for this category in 2024. Launch of the podcasts That's My Vinyl Answer. increasing A Novel Idea's profile as well as promoting the benefits of music in the context of mental health. HOPE Project launched by an employee encouraged people to leave messages of HOPE. The project reached local, national. and intemational publicity. and spread messages of hope and support to many people and communities. An exhibition held as part of the project helped to demonstrate how one small initiative can honour our strategy of supporting wellness together and motivate additional projects to share their work. The Wellbeing Questionnaire, developed by the Data Team and successfully piloted with other VCSE organisations, has been recognised as a model of best practice. It has now been integrated into the Community Connections contract as an innovative alternative for assessing client progress. The team worked collaboratively alongside the charity Justice and Care to support their research on exploitation and to make cuckooing a crime. Their report has now been published, further strengthening the need as exploitation rises. Co-producing Kudos for employee recognition was vital for fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture. By collaboratively designing recognition programmes. we ensure that the values, achievements, and contributions celebrated truly resonate across the charity. This approach empowers employees, giving them a voice in how success is acknowledged. and strengthens our commitment to mutual respect and appreciation. Co-produced recognition notonly motivates individuals but also builds a stronger, more connected organisation where everyone's efforts are valued and celebraled. Mental Health and Wellbeing Communit Connections The Community Connections team has had a strong year, supporting clients and working with partners to offer the services required in the community. Welfare Calls: Many clients discovered they were suffering from the isolation of lockdown and received welfare calls from our team during the pandemic. This practice continued at their request until the autumn of 2023. Further discussions highlighted the need for a dedicated welfare call service to provide a touchpoint for dients across the charity to maintain the progress made with their mental heallh and wellbeing. SaBP's Pathway Forum: Community Connections takes part in the SaBP's Pathway Forum, designed to bring together colleagues and partners across the mental health arena for weekly meetings where options can be presented and actioned. This collaboration has allowed the team to share their knowledge and expertise as well as highlight people known to us that require further support. This approach has also facilitated an increase in referrals in and out of our service. Page 6

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Wellbeing Questionnaire: Developed in conjunction with Catalyst Support's Data Team. This new monitoring tool helps in the managing a clients recovery joumey. The aim was to provide a more friendly, inclusive, and trauma-informed way of monitoring a client's joumey. It is now being used by the Mary Francis Trust and Richmond Fellowship after a pilot with Catalyst Support partners Guildford Action, Canterbury Care. and The Hope Hub. Trials were conducted in their services, and the results were shared with the Commissioner as a model of good practice. Due to the strong feedback from the pilots, the Wellbeing Questionnaire has been included in the new Community Connections contract as an acceptable and akternative method to assess a client's progress. Community Connection Contract: The recent bid to keep the contract in Surrey Heath, Famham, Guildford, Waverley, and Northwest Surrey was awarded to Catalyst Support. We want to keep building strong working ties with organisations around Surrey while keeping our core values in mind. In order to facilitate a smooth transition between services, we will collaborate with our partners to create a shared referral system and co-produce support plans that identify needs and direct people into the appropriate services, including everyone in their network who might benefit. Safe Havens The Safe Havens were established in Surrey in response to growing demand for crisis services across the county and following the success of the Adershot Safe Haven. The aim of Safe Havens is to deliver a seamless service that supports recovery and resilience while reducing costs and unnecessary attendance at the Emergency Department (ED) and hospital admissions. The aim of the Safe Haven service is to reduce emotional and psychological distress for service users experiencing a mental health crisis. This is achieved by collaborative partners working between the voluntary sector and statutory agencies. The partnership combines the ingenuity and flexibility of the voluntary sector with the support services of the NHS. In Surrey, partners are projecting significant growth in demand for mental health services, partly due to an increase in population and a reduction in available funding. Currently. the nalional statistics show mental disorders account for around 5 /0 of ED attendances, 25 /0 of primary care attendances, 30 % of acute inpatient bed occupancy, and 30°/o of acute readmissions. Most patients who frequently re-attend emergency departments do so because of an untreated mental heatth problem. In March 2024, Aldershot Safe Haven in Hampshire celebrated 10 years in operation, supporting thousands of residents experiencing mental health crises. The Safe Havens have become an integral part of Surrey's front- line response to the increasing numbers of the local population attending already overstretched emergency departments. Funding has been secured for another two years, so vital support can continue to be provided in Surrey. Service Im act.. Aldershot, Guildford, and Woking Safe Havens (sites where Catalyst Support work) supported 4,241 individuals during the year. Among these service users, 1,547 were experiencing a mental health crisis. The dedication and care provided by the workforce have had a positive impact on the locality, addressing the urgent need for mental health support and helping to alleviate the burden on emergency and primary care servI￿s. When someone seeks assistance for their mental health and wellness at Safe Haven, a peer support worker will offer preventative care. The inclusion of a peer support position in the model was ￿quested by the Peer Support Network, which consists of people in both paid and volunteer jobs who use their personal mental health experiences to support others. The three Community Connections lead providers will hire, Irain, and support peer support workers to give preventative support to people. Page 7

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 The following 2023124 Safe Haven data also shows how many people were supported online Location Total Sum Presented Sum presented in Crisis Sum ofvirtual Support Aldershot 1258 678 614 Guildford 2090 609 1185 Woking 698 217 230 YoungAdults SH 195 43 Grand Total 4241 1547 2038 Safe Haven serves as an initial point of contact and a potential substitute for admission. The peer support worker is part of an MDT (multiple disciplinary team) that can support individuals around their wellbeing to reduce the likelihood of crisis escalation, diverting individuals away from ED and instead being supported internally by the team in a non-clinical setting. It's fantastic that someone with lived experience can offer preventative care by helping others manage their mental health and coping mechanisms. GPimhs and MHICS Catalyst Support continues to work in partnership with SaBP and the GPS to provide the integrated mental health support service GPimhslMHICS. Extended network: In the reporting period, we have successfully launched West Waverley, Walton on Thames, and West Byneet GPimhs. The team works to support patients with complex needs" the demand for the service remains high, and patients are offered easy aC￿sS to the services. In partnership with SaBP, Catalyst Support provides Community Connectors across 18 PCN'S in Surrey. Pathways Forum: The Servi￿ has rolled out the Pathways Forums as part of the Community Mental Health Transformation Programme, which is designed to bring together experts and specialists across health care providers and voluntary services (including charities like Catalyst Support) to provide a multi-agency approach for complex cases and "wrap around" care for the individual. Our Community Connectors have been praised for presenting their clients so as to get them the best possible support. Our team plays a vital role in the integrated service and, alongside Mental Health Practitioners, delivers 50 % of client facing work, working with a team of Pharmacist. Psychiatrist. Clinical Leads and Administrators. Page 8

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Employee comment: '1 introduced the concept of mindfulness to a gentleman suffering with physical pain from arthritis. He reported that our work together has helped change his perspective on his circumstance. he no longer looks at what he can't do anymore but tries to consider how he could do it differently. This also had a positive impact on his depressive symptoms." In Reach In Reach service began in June 2021 and was seen as an integral part of the Transformation Pathway,. however, in December 2023. it was announced that extemal funding for this service would stop. In Reach- April 2023- January 2024.. The In Reach team collectively supported 165 clients throughout this period and was a key part of the transition for service users from hospital to home. The team worked collaboratively to ensure the clients were not left alone once discharged home and had ongoing support through signposting to other services. The service received positive feedback from clients and professionals within the Discharge Team at the hospitals and Care Coordinators within CMHRS. The Discharge Hub was particularly successful and benefited the clients, as theywere introduced to the service at admission, and we could follow their progress while on the ward, allowing us to get to know them and their specific needs. and then at the point of discharge. design a clear support plan for each individual. We are sorry to see this successful Servi￿ come to an end. Recove and Connect Recovery and Connect service has become part of SaBP HOMEFirst, which is an approach to supporting people who are at risk of repeat admission to the hospital due to mental health relapse. Developed with community partners. HOMEFirst support is available to adults aged 18 years and over on referral from SaBP teams and partner organisations. It brings together multi-agency working and quality care planning to provide enhanced community support. HOMEFirst can draw upon support from Recovery and Connect workers, a Lead Occupational Therapisl and Carer, and Lived Experience workers, to help people manage clients, mental health and wellbeing at home. The Servi￿ includes clinical supervision as well as joint supeNision, ensuring employees are well informed and have someone to support them with their client work. As of April 2023, the service supported a total of 16 people, which is an expected number given the complexity of the group of people this seNice supports. Recovery and Connect have expanded the area they cover and have taken on new partners. One is Andover Mind who manages the Farnham area on behalf of us. They have now employed an additional team member to allow expansion into Northeast Hampshire. Lived Ex erience LE Service in GPimhslMHICS Working with three other charities and the local tnental health trust across seven Prirnary Care Networks (PCNS), the Lived Experience (LE) Service is a collaborative partnership.

Since the start of the service in January 2023. the LXPS have provided peer support to 73 clients beiween the ages of 18 and 64. The LXPS share their recovery and hope to empower their peers to access community resources. achieve their goals, and take on valued identities and roles.

Ameth st Substance Use Outreach Since the pandemic, Ihe leam has noticed a change in the way service users present themselves to services and access homeless support in Guildford. The Sit-up space at number 5 Hub provided a base from which assessment and housing work could be done easier and quicker, and it provided faster access to shelter.

In the reporting year, there has been significant change as many long-term service users either no longer require the service or their circumstances have changed, preventing ongoing work. Many of the older clients remain on the workers, caseload,. a proportion have been replaced by a younger cohort with different needs.

These key funding sources include: Surrey County Council- Community Connections wellbeing services and drug and alcohol support ServI￿S Surrey Heartlands ICB- Woking and Guildford Safe Havens Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust - Primary care networks and mental health and wellbeing services, Aldershot Safe Haven, and Criminal Liaison and Diversion, including Reconnect The National Lottery Community Fund - Catalyst Counselling (formerly Reach Out Counselling) Police and Crime Commissioner Surrey- Cuckooing. and Women's Support Centre The charity continues to develop a range of new projects and services, including an expansion into Hart in Hampshire. In addition, we will look at increasing our independent funding sources and further develop our social enterprise initiatives to strengthen ourservice delivery moving forward. Achieving medium and long-term financial stability is a priority for the years ahead as we anticipate continuing financial pressures on public ServI￿S in Ihe post-pandemic environment. Financial Policies Financial policies are approved by the trustees and aim to minimise exposure to risk wherever possible. The charity prepares an operating budget at the beginning of each financial year with revised forecasts during the year. Expenditure is closely monitored against budget and detailed financial reports for each project are reviewed quarterly by members of the Finance Committee and trustees who additionally review the Company's balance sheet, cash flow and reserves position. There were no apparent breaches of the charity's financial policies in the year under review. Financial infomiation on projects is provided to the service managers of those projects and to the Senior Leadership Team on a monthly or quarterly basis. The Senior Leadership Team, supported by the trustees. have sought to manage the charity's income and expenditure in such a way that commissioners can readily see the value which is being generated by its activities. All surpluses are held in cash, there are two shorl-term deposits in pla￿. and there is no medium- or long-term investments. Cash balances are reviewed by the Finance Committee each quarter. Page 22

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Reserves The trustees are fully aware of the need to retain a sufficient level of reserves to support future endeavours and developments, to support the charity's contractual obligations and day-to-day operations in the event of unforeseen shortfalls such as the loss of a major source of income, and to provide working capital where funding is paid in arrears or delayed. A sufficient reserve is also needed to comply with legislation and best practice and to demonstrale to our funders and partners that the charity is financially secure and well managed. The charity's reserves policy reflects these requirements while recognising that our objectives of requiring the delivery of services must be the prime focus for use of funds. During the year under review, the Trustees monitored a Designated Reserve to fund the upgrading of the Charity's infomiation technology, data processing and digitsl communication systems. Expenditure on a new website was finalised during the year. Simultaneously. an IT review and report indicates the Designated Reserve may need to increase. The IT Designated Reserve currently stands at £50,000. Most of the charity's remaining reserves are unrestricted. The trustees presently aim to maintain a target range for unrestricted funds at a level of be￿een two and three months of operational expenditure based on current expenditure of approximately £4.gm and adjusted to £4.1m for projects that have ended. This results in a target range for free reserves of £680k to £1.020k. Free reserves at balance sheet date stood at the lower point of this range at £776k. At this level the trustees consider thal. in the event of a significant deterioration in funding, its free reserves, alongside recurring income streams. will enable it to continue its current activities while exploring ways in which additional funds can be raised andlor expenditure reduced. This target range is reviewed at least annually by the trustees. Goin Concern In meeting their obligation to consider the going concern status of the charity, the trustees have reviewed budgets and forecasts for the coming year to 31st March 2025 and where possible to September 2025. They have considered the organisation's ability to fund its activities and to find new sources of income and funding. The trustees consider that the forecasts prepared are appropriate and that the organisation can reasonably expect lo fund its projects and activities until at least September 2025. The charity's progress in meeting its forecasts will continue to be monitored and mitigating actions taken where necessary. Given the leadership change at Alpha Community Outreach Ltd, a paper has been approved for a newly costed approach. aiming to restore profitability to the social enterprise. The trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to consider the organisation a going concern. Statement of Disclosure to Auditors Insofar as the Trustees are aware-.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements. we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If. based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Trustees. Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Malters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misslatements in the Trustees. Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion- the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us- or the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or certain disclosures of Trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the infomiation and explanations we require for our audit., or the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the Trustees, Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report. Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the Trustees (who are also the Directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Page 26

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (CONTINUED) In preparing the financial statements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charitable companys ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditors. responsibilities 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 Auditors, Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 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 non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below= Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the entity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud; Enquiry of management and those charged with govemance around actual and potential litigation and claims., Enquiry of management about any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. Reviewing the control systems in place and testing Ihe effectiveness of the controls., Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness- Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. Reviewing accounting estimates for bias- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management and Trustees on significant accounting estimates., Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. and Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of InStan￿S of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or .uklauditorsres onsibilities.

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 General infomiation Catalyst Support Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is registered with the Registrar of Companies {Company Registered Number: 3689561) and the Charity Commission (Charity Registered Number: 1075892) in England and Wales. In the event of the Group being wound up. the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the Group.

Accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 1021 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 Republic of Ireland {FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Catalyst Support Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cosl or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial stalements are prepared in slerling which is the functional and presentational currency of the Group and are rounded to the nearest pound. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis. The Charity has iaken advantage of Ihe exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presenled its own Statement of Financial Activities in these financial statements. 2.2 Going concern The Trustees have assessed the use of going concern and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to conlinue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The Trustees have concluded thal there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. The Trustees are not aware of any post balance sheet events which would have a material impact on these financial ststements. Page 34

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Accounting policies (continued) 2.3 Income All income is recognised On￿ the Group has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income is deferred only when the Group has to fulfil conditions which they are uncertain they are able to fulfill before being entitled to the income. Grant income comes from the National Lottery Community Fund and other donors. Other income comes mainly from statutory bodies. including Surrey County Council, Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, the offi￿ of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Surrey, Surrey Police and Local Borough Councils. 2.4 Expenditure All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the categories. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each aclivity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Redundancy and termination payTnents are recognised immediately upon becoming a constructive obligation. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Employee benefits When employees have rendered Servi￿ to the Charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The Charity operates a defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of its employees. A liability for the Charity's obligations under the plan is recognised net of plan assets. The net change in the net defined benefit liability is recognised as the cost of the defined benefit plan during the period. Pension plan assets are measured at fair value and the defined benefit obligalion is measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method. Page 35

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Accounting policies (continued) 2.6 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re￿1vable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group- this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.7 Taxation The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets costing £5.000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. The £5,000 capitalisation limit is reduced for computer equipment, such as laptops to £NIL so that a good record of computer equipment can be maintained. and motor vehicles held within the subsidiary. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Al costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis= Motor vehicles Furniture and equipment Computer equipment 25°/0 33°/0 2.9 Intangible assets - goodwill Goodwill arising on business cornbinations is capitalised, dasstfied as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life, which should not exceed ten years if a reliable eslimate of the useful Iwfe cannot be made. 2.10 Investments Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impaiment. 2.11 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any Irade discounts due. Page 36

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Accounting policies (continued) 2.12 Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 2.13 Liabilities and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Group anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost. 2.14 Financial instruments The Group only holds basic Financial Instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are as follows: Debtors trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 16. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank- is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. Liabilities trade creditors. accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in Notes 17. Taxation and social security balances are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. 2.15 Operating leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

CATALYST SUPPORT LIMITED (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Accounting policies (continued) 2.16 Pensions The Group operates two pension schemes for its employees:_ a) A defined contribution workplace scheme which is available to all eligible employees. The Charity contributes at rates recommended under government auto-enrolment procedures. b) The Group is also a participating employer in the defined benefit Local Government Pension Scheme known as the Surrey County Council Pension Fund ("the Fund") which is now closed to the Group's new employees. The assets and liabilities of the Fund are not separately identifiable to each employer. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund and pensions payable under the scheme are based on final pensionable salary. This scheme is the Local Government Pension Scheme administered by the Surrey County Council, who also arrange for triennial actuarial reviews to be carried out. The latest actuarial valuation was carried out as at 31 March 2022. The operating costs of providing these benefits are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities in the accounting year in which the benefits are eamed by the employees and related financing and other costs recognised in the year in which they arise. No other retirement benefits are provided. The pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to each scheme in respect of the year. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. 2.17 Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.
