Sahir House is one of the longest surviving HIV charities in the United Kingdom (UK). Since 1987, the Charity has been providing support to people living with HIV and to those affected by HIV. Sahir House works with children, young people, and adults, providing practical and emotional support through relevant interventions, which focus on confidence-building, empowerment, and education. Our ambition is to help all service users to experience fuller and healthier lives with HIV **.** Sahir House is a much-loved regional charity and is authentically embedded within the communities it serves. The charity has always retained a spirit of grassroots activism and campaigning. In 2020, Sahir House expanded its charitable objects to acknowledge the organisation’s position as a long-serving LGBT+ charity and to allow for the development of services centred specifically around its expertise and reputation for supporting people from LGBT+ communities, refugees, and asylum seekers. Sahir House is currently headquartered in Liverpool, providing services for people across the Liverpool City Region. All services are provided free of charge. ## **Our Service Portfolio** The wide range of services provided include: ## **HIV+ Refugee & Asylum Support Service** This is a specialist service for individuals seeking asylum, experiencing immigration issues or who have been trafficked and are living with HIV. This service offers a safe, confidential, and supportive space and can offer ongoing emotional and practical support. - 1 - **SAHIR HOUSE TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023** ## **HIV+ Advice & Support Service** Our advice and support service can help with a range of matters from financial to housing to employment and other issues. The service can be accessed by anyone living with or affected by HIV as many times as they need. We offer a person-centred service which can range from one-off advice to regular meetings for those who need ongoing support. Our aim is to improve the quality of life and independence of those we assist. ## **Counselling Service** We offer free counselling to people living with HIV who may be experiencing difficulties with their sexuality, sexual health, and relationships. We work with adults experiencing issues of a psychosexual nature. We also specialise in working with people from the LGBTQ+ community. We offer sessions to people impacted and concerned about isolation, anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss of family relationships, coming out, gender identity, internalised homophobia, self-harm, suicide-ideation, childhood sexual abuse, victims of intimate partner violence and victims of homophobic hate crime, multiple rape and forced marriage. ## **Community Support** We aim to empower people to live confidently with HIV. We offer a broad range of activities and events focussed on improving the health and wellbeing outcomes - including HIV-focused and general health information sessions, peer support groups, practical workshops and cultural activities. ## **Training & Education** We offer training on HIV and sexual health topics. We have delivered training to local authorities, NHS trusts, housing providers, community and voluntary groups – and we've run seminars, workshops, action learning experiences, presentations and team briefings. ## **Testing & Prevention Services** We offer a confidential rapid self-administered HIV testing service using a finger prick test, which gives results in minutes. Any positive result is fast tracked to GUM clinics in Merseyside for clinical support and further testing. Condoms and lubricant are available at our head-office, service delivery sites and at all educational and training events. We provide prevention education and resources to community members and other service providers working with populations that are most vulnerable to HIV transmission. ## **Outreach** We offer outreach services for people living with, affected by, or at-risk of HIV – with a particular focus on disenfranchised and underserved communities **.** ## **Public Benefit Statement** The Board of Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and planning future activities. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Despite the challenges posed by continued economic uncertainty, inflation, recurring and new health crisis and civil unrest throughout 2022-23, Sahir House has continued to step up its efforts to support, empower and transform the lives of the community members we support across the Liverpool City Region. We are really proud of how we’ve come together with partners and allies to support those facing multiple disadvantage. - 2 - **SAHIR HOUSE TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023** In 2022 – 2023, Sahir House delivered 10,115 support activities to 677 service users across the Liverpool City Region. The Sahir House Wirral Outreach workers reached 726 individuals offering 1395 support activities including advice on safer sex. During this reporting year Sahir House distributed safe sex supplies across Merseyside including 7749 condoms and 5254 sachets of lube. Our commitment to serving our service users - with passion and authenticity - is more important than ever. Our staff and volunteers have been creative, innovative, and brave to make sure we can continue to provide the best possible support, advice and advocacy to: - People living with HIV (regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity) - Individuals and communities at higher risk of poor sexual and reproductive health - Members of the LGBTQ+ community Various discussions underfoot – such as with our regional Primary Care Networks – to ensure we continue to move forward towards improved support, zero new transmissions: zero new infections and zero Stigma and discrimination **.** Sahir House has entered collaboration with several Higher Education Institution’s as their preferred community partner to explore health issues pertinent to our local LGBTQ+ population. Sahir House aspires to build its position as a trusted community connector and engagement partner for relevant and empowering LGBTQ+ research and innovation. To coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month (February 2023), Liverpool City Council officially launched the LGBTQ+ needs assessment with a health needs assessment survey for local LGBTQ+ people. The survey, which was a first for Liverpool, incorporated information from a range of sources, including national level evidence and data from the 2021 census. Sahir House took a lead role in promoting the survey and actively encouraged participation through 1:1 engagement, peer-to-peer promotion (volunteers), workshops partnership working as well as press engagement and digital marketing/communications. In total, our collective efforts garnered 600 responses with 450 fully completed forms. Initial findings from the survey paint a picture of poor health outcomes, lack of health literacy and, service provision that needs to be significantly overhauled - specifically in matters relating to mental health, sexual health, respiratory health & comorbidities. We are now planning for the next phase of Liverpool’s LGBTQ+ Needs Assessment. This phase will include targeted interviews and focus groups. Owing to the introduction of our new LGBTQ+ Support Worker we have been able to strength our existing LGBTQ+ peer support offering and launch several new LGBTQ+ focussed groups. Sahir House has also been able to strengthen and extend its peer group offer for PLWHIV. Sahir House plans to launch several new peer support programmes in the near future including a LGBTQIA+ Neurodivergent Peer Support Service in collaboration with Merseyside Autistic Adults. Sahir House has also introduced a weekly ‘Social Space’ forum for all service users. This takes place every Thursday at Sahir House. We actively invite and welcome visits from partner organisations to promote key health and wellbeing services. Sahir House is currently in talks with various partner organisations with regards to arts and cultural programming to enrich engagement and improve community cohesion. - 3 - **SAHIR HOUSE TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** Total income for the year totaled £457,007 (2022: £435,619) of which £210,398 (2022: £66,573) related to funding for projects upon which restrictions are placed.
