6. Achievements, Performance and Community Leadership 2024 to 2025
Year in Context
The year ended 31 March 2025 continued to be shaped by significant external pressures, including
sustained cost of living impacts, increasing complexity of mental health need, and a challenging public
discourse affecting LGBTQ+ communities and people living with HIV. Trustees remained focused on
balancing financial sustainability, service quality and workforce wellbeing while responding to rising
demand and persistent health inequalities across the Liverpool City Region.
Sahir House, operating as Sahir, works with a clear dual purpose. We are both a provider of specialist,
trauma informed frontline services and a strategic partner influencing policy, commissioning and public
understanding. Our work is grounded in compassion, co-production, lived experience and a commitment
to equity and dignity. This enables us to respond to immediate need while addressing the structural drivers
of stigma, exclusion and poor health outcomes.
4

Between April 2024 and March 2025, we supported a total of 517 service users, delivering 4583 individual
support activities.
Service Delivery and Reach
Sahir provides HIV prevention, testing and support services across Wirral, Knowsley, Sefton and St Helens.
These services include one to one practical and emotional support, facilitated peer support groups,
counselling outreach, community-based HIV testing, education and prevention activity.
Across borough-based HIV services, 166 unique individuals living with or affected by HIV were supported
through 587 support activities, alongside 127 HIV tests delivered via the Wirral prevention service.
In Liverpool, Sahir delivers an intensive support service for people living with HIV who present with complex
and overlapping needs. This includes intensive one to one support, counselling, facilitated peer support
and delivery of the Sahir Community HIV Clinic. The service supports individuals who face barriers to
traditional clinical environments or who are at risk of disengaging from care, with a strong focus on
improving health outcomes, medication adherence and wellbeing.
Our HIV Intensive support service reached 53 individuals, delivering a total of 727 intensive support
interventions in response to complex and high-need circumstances.
Sahir also delivers a specialist support service for children and young people living with, and affected by,
HIV across the Liverpool City Region and into North Wales. This includes one to one support, facilitated
peer support groups and counselling outreach, with particular emphasis on emotional wellbeing, reducing
isolation and supporting safe transitions into adult services.
A total of 64 individuals, including families, children, and young people, were supported through 355
support activities.
Alongside this, Sahir provides a specialist support service for LGBTQ+ refugees and people seeking asylum
across the Liverpool City Region. This includes one to one practical and emotional support, facilitated peer
support groups, counselling outreach, advocacy and safeguarding support. The service is co-developed
with those it supports and benefits from strong peer leadership and lived experience.
Refugee and asylum services supported 71 individuals across a total of 725 1:1 support sessions.
Sahir provides wider LGBTQ+ community support focused on tailored facilitated peer support groups and
befriending alongside limited one to one support and social prescribing. These services address isolation,
poor mental health and barriers to accessing mainstream support, particularly in areas where dedicates
LGBTQ+ provision is limited.
Peer support services reached 163 individuals through 14 active groups, demonstrating strong participation
and broad community reach.
During the year, Sahir progressed the development of a dedicated support service for trans, non-binary
and gender diverse community members resident in the Liverpool City Region. Building on existing peer
support and engagement, this service is being launched in partnership with NHS colleagues and grass roots
organisations.
This work has already included sustained involvement in trans community networks and domestic abuse
awareness work, support for Trans Day of Remembrance activity, participation in regional trans and non-
binary events, and regular safeguarding input to hosted sessions. Ongoing one-to-one social prescribing
5

has provided practical support around housing, safety, healthcare access, asylum processes, and daily living
needs, alongside delivery of Gender Proud support groups and identification of growing demand for
Friends, Families and Allies provision.
Free, specialist counselling continued to be provided for people living with HIV and LGBTQ+ people across
the Liverpool City Region. The service is trauma informed and BACP accredited, supporting individuals
experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, domestic abuse and complex life experiences.
The service delivered 810 counselling sessions to 127 unique individuals, highlighting strong utilisation and
ongoing engagement with individuals requiring continued support.
Outcomes and Difference Made
Across services, outcome monitoring, service user feedback and practitioner assessment indicate
improvements in emotional wellbeing, reduced isolation, increased engagement with health and care
services, and greater confidence in navigating complex systems. Trustees are satisfied that Sahir's
community led, trauma informed approach continues to deliver meaningful outcomes for individuals and
communities most affected by inequality.
In the 2024/25 snapshot survey, 90% of service users reported meeting their support goals.
Community Leadership, Voice and Collective Action
Alongside direct service delivery, Sahir played a distinctive leadership role as a trusted convener, facilitator
and advocate for LGBTQ+ communities and people living with HIV.
The Queer Town Hall programme remained a central pillar of Sahir's community leadership approach.
These thematically led events brought together community members, activists, practitioners, researchers
and statutory partners to explore priority issues such as LGBTQ+ health inequalities, Pride and public space,
and post pandemic wellbeing. Events combined lived experience testimony, expert insight and facilitated
discussion, generating learning and recommendations that informed service development and wider
system conversations.
Four Queer Town Hall sessions were delivered, with approximately 200 people attending.
Complementing this planned programme, Sahir also delivered a more reactive strand of engagement
through its Let's Talk About programme. These sessions were convened in response to emerging issues or
events affecting community wellbeing, providing timely and safe spaces for peer connection, collective
reflection and access to accurate information and support.
Three Let's Talk About sessions were convened with 55 people attending overall. The sessions included a
facilitated discussion at Sahir bringing community members together to discuss the Cass Review, to identify
actions to support the gender-diverse community, and stand up for trans rights.
During the year, Sahir also brought communities together to organise and coordinate a large memorial vigil
in memory of James Lee Williams, known to many as The Vivienne. The vigil provided a powerful moment
of collective remembrance and solidarity, reflecting Sahir's long-standing role as a trusted steward of
community space at times of loss and grief.
Systems Change and Strategic Influence
Sahir worked closely with Liverpool City Council Public Health to drive forward a Joint Strategic Needs
Assessment exploring health inequalities faced by the city's LGBTQ+ population. Acting as the primary

community partner, Sahir supported engagement activity, focus groups and stakeholder interviews,
ensuring that lived experience informed strategic understanding and future planning.
Fundraising and Partnership Development
Sahir operated within a challenging funding environment during the year, with rising costs and increased
competition for charitable funding. Income was generated through a mixed funding model including
statutory contracts, grants from trusts and foundations, community fundraising, events, individual giving
and donations.
Total organisational income is drawn from a balanced mix of sources, supporting both sustainability and
growth:
Donations & Fundraising: 54%
Grants: 22%
Contracts: 22%
Training & Earned Income: 2%
This income profile reflects strong community backing, diversified funding streams, and a growing blend of
unrestricted and project-based income
Community fundraising and events played an important role in generating unrestricted income while also
strengthening Sahir's profile and relationships within the LGBTQ+ community. Alongside established
initiatives, Sahir delivered targeted fundraising activity in partnership with local venues, artists and
volunteers.
Partnership working remained central to Sahir's impact. The charity collaborated with NHS partners, local
authorities, universities and voluntary sector organisations to extend reach, influence systems and avoid
duplication.
Liverpool John Moores University
In partnership with Sahir, Liverpool John Moores University contributed to research examining the impact
of the COVID-19 response on the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people living across the Liverpool City
The National Lottery Community Fund
Sahir has secured significant five-year funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to power and
expand community-focused projects. This includes vital support for LGBTQ+ refugees, people seeking
asylum, and wider social inclusion initiatives.
Steve Morgan Foundation
The Steve Morgan Foundation has provided multi-year regional funding to Sahir, including support for a
dedicated Children's Support Worker role, strengthening services for vulnerable young people and families.
The Trustees confirm that Sahir adheres to recognised ethical fundraising standards and that no fundraising
complaints were upheld during the year.
7

Workforce and Volunteers
The Trustees recognise the dedication, skill and resilience of Sahir's staff and volunteers. In a demanding
operating environment, the team continued to deliver high quality, compassionate services while
maintaining strong safeguarding, professional and ethical standards.
Volunteers remained integral to peer support, outreach, community engagement, and governance activity,
with volunteering at Sahir providing opportunities for skill-building, empowerment, and meaningful
connection within the community.
7. Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the charity's aims and activities, setting objectives and planning future work.
Sahir House, operating as Sahir, addresses significant health inequlities experienced by people living with
and affected by HIV and by LGBTQ+ communities, including refugees and people seeking asylum. These
groups face disproportionate levels of poor mental health, social isolation, stigma and barriers to accessing
health and social care.
The charity delivers public benefit through free, specialist, trauma informed services that improve physical
health, emotional wellbeing and social inclusion. These include HIV prevention, testing and support,
intensive casework, counselling, peer support, advocacy and community engagement. By supporting
individuals to engage with care and navigate complex systems, Sahir helps prevent crisis, exclusion and
deterioration in health.
Sahir's work also delivers wider public benefit by reducing pressure on statutory services through improved
engagement, stability and early intervention. In addition, Sahir provides public benefit through community
leadership, advocacy and systems change activity, ensuring lived experience informs policy, commissioning
and service design.
The Trustees are satisfied that the charity's activities are carried out in furtherance of its charitable objects
and that the benefits arising from its work are clear, identifiable and accessible to the public, particularly
those facing the greatest disadvantage.
8. Financial Review
Financial Performance
During the year ended 31 March 2025, Sahir House generated total income of f607,158, derived from a
combination of statutory contracts, grants from trusts and foundations, community fundraising, events,
donations and other income.
Total expenditure for the year amounted to £523,717. The majority of this expenditure was incurred on
naritable activities, including frontline service delivery, outreach, counselling, peer support, communi
ngagement and the support costs required to operate the charity safely, effectively and in complianc
with regulatory requirements.
The Trustees are satisfied that the charity's resources have been applied in furtherance of its charitable
objects and in accordance with approved budgets, delegated authorities and appropriate financial controls.
8

Income and Funding Mix
Public sector contracts and grants continued to form a significant proportion of the charity's income during
the year, reflecting Sahir House's role as a trusted delivery partner for HIV, sexual health and related
services across the Liverpool City Region. Alongside this, the charity continued to secure funding from trust:
and foundations and to generate income through community fundraising, events and individual giving.
The Trustees recognise the importance of maintaining a diverse funding base and of growing unrestricted
income to support organisational resilience, enable innovation and ensure the charity can respond flexibly
to emerging and unmet need.
Reserves Policy and Position
The Trustees review the reserves policy annually, taking account of the charity's risk profile, cashtow
requirements, funding volatility and future commitments.
The current reserves policy is to hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to:
• meet redundancy and notice obligations
• cover at least three months of core operating and salary costs
• provide a modest buffer against unforeseen events
At 31 March 2025, unrestricted reserves stood at f194,608, which the Trustees consider to be in line with
the agreed reserves policy.
Where reserves fall below the target level, the Trustees have plans in place to rebuild reserves over time
through prudent financial management and income diversification.
Going Concern
In assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, the Trustees have considered the current
financial position, cashflow forecasts, committed and anticipated income, and the ongoing demand for
Sahir House's services.
While acknowledging the challenging external environment, the Trustees believe that Sahir House has
appropriate plans in place and that there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the
charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of
approval of these financial statements.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
9. Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Trustees recognise their responsibility for identifying, assessing and managing risks that may affect
the charity's ability to deliver its charitable objectives.
Sahir House maintains a risk register which is reviewed regularly by the Board and updated to reflect
changes in the operating environment.
The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate systems and controls are in place to manage these risks and
that risk management remains embedded within the charity's governance and operational processes.
9

During the year, the principal risks and uncertainties identified by the Trustees included the following:
Funding and Income Volatility
There is a risk that reductions in statutory funding, the ending of time limited grants or pressures on
charitable giving could adversely affect the charity's financial sustainability.
Mitigation
The Trustees mitigate this risk through diversification of income streams, active relationship management
with funders, development of community fundraising and individual giving, regular financial monitoring
and cashflow forecasting.
Rising Demand and Complexity of Need
The charity continues to experience increased demand for services, with service users presenting with
more complex and overlapping needs linked to the cost-of-living crisis, housing instability, mental health
pressures and hostile environments for marginalised communities.
Mitigation
Mitigations include prioritisation and triage of referrals, partnership working with statutory and voluntary
sector organisations, trauma informed practice, and regular supervision and support for staff.
Workforce Capacity, Wellbeing and Retention
There is a risk that sustained pressure on services could impact staff wellbeing, retentlon and the charity's
ability to recruit and retain skilled staff in a competitive labour market.
Mitigation
The charity addresses this through structured supervision, reflective practice, attention to workload
management and boundaries, access to training and development, and a focus on staff wellbeing and
organisational culture.
Safeguarding and Service Quality
There is a risk of harm to beneficiaries, staff or volunteers, or of reputational damage, should safeguarding
arrangements or service quality systems fail.
Mitigation
The Trustees oversee safeguarding policies and procedures, training, safer recruitment practices, clear
reporting and escalation processes, and a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Reputational and Partnership Risk
As Sahir House plays an increasingly visible role in advocacy, community leadership and public discourse,
there is a risk of reputational harm or strain on partnerships.
10

Mitigation
The charity mitigates this risk through clear communications, community led engagement approaches,
strong partnership governance and effective complaints and feedback procedures.
10. Plans for Future Periods
2025 marks the 40th anniversary of Sahir House. Building on learning from the year under review, the
Trustees have identified a set of strategic and operational priorities to ensure the charity remains
resilient, relevant and impactful.
Key priorities for 2025 to 2026 include:
a) Celebrating and leveraging the 40th anniversary
Delivering a programme that honours Sahir House's history in HIV activism and LGBTQ+ community
support while using the milestane to strengthen profile, partnerships and long-term sustainability.
b) Strengthening and embedding services
Consolidating and expanding borough-based provision, particularly in underserved areas, and
continuing to develop intensive support models for people living with HIV with complex needs.
c)
Embedding new trans, non-binary and gender diverse services
Fully implementing the new social prescribing and peer support offer in partnership with NHS
colleagues and grass roots organisations.
d) Deepening systems change and research partnerships
Building on work with local authorities, health partners and universities to ensure lived experience
continues to inform commissioning, policy and service design.
e) Sustaining and diversifying income
Increasing unrestricted fundraising through community events, individual giving and partnerships,
while maintaining strong relationships with statutory funders and trusts and foundations.
Strengthening organisational resilience
Continuing to invest in governance, digital infrastructure, workforce wellbeing and policy
development to ensure the charity is well equipped to manage risk and future growth.
Throughout the coming period, Sahir House will remain focused on its core mission of supporting people
living with and affected by HIV, standing alongside LGBTQ+ communities and challenging stigma,
discrimination and health inequality.
11. Statement of Trustees' Responsibilitles

SAHIR HOUSE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF
SAHIR HOUSE
I report on the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31st March 2025
set out on pages 14 to 27.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of the charitable company for the purpose of
company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charitys 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 required.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is

Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charitable company 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 present a true and fair view'
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
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 CompaniesAct 2006, and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of Sections 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods anc
rinciples of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.
Have not met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable proper understanding
of the accouts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2025
1. Limited Llability
The charitable company is a company limited by guarantee. Each member's liability is limited to £10.
2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at
cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended
Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FR$102) as amended
Companies Ao 2008 commancing trem 1al January 2019 and Charles Act 201 and the
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest E.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
charitable company has adequate reserves to continue in operatlonal existence for the forseeable
future. The Trustees are confident that the levels of liquidity and free reserves will not affect the
charity's operations. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting
in preparing the accounts.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are the charitable company's free reserves available for the Trustees to apply
in accordance with the charitable company's charitable objectives.
Designated funds are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted funds for specific future
purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor. All restricted
funds are accounted for as restricted income and expenditure for the purposes is charged
to the funds.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charitable company has entitlement to the income, there is
sufficient certainty of receipt and so It is probable that the income will be received, and the amount
of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies comprise of donations and general grants which are recognised in the
accounts when recelved, with the exception of known legacies which are accounted for when their
receipt is certain.
Income from charitable activities is recognised on an accrual's basis except for grants receivable,
which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is confirmed by the donor.
Income from investment relates to bank interest received and is recognised when the amount is
certain.
Other trading income relates to all fundraising events and is recognised when the amounts are
certain.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation commiting the
charitable company to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the
amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual's basis. All expenses, including support costs and
governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the
Statement of Financial Activities. Support and governance costs are applied to unrestricted funds
unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor.
Expenditure on charitable activitles relates to the operation of the charitable company comprising
of direct charitable expenditure to meet the objectives of the charitable company. Support and
governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also compliance
with constitutlonal and slatutory requirements in producing the annual report. These are dealt with
in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been approved by the charitable company.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet as cost or revaluation less accumulated
depreciation. Capital expenditure of f:250 and above is treated as a fixed asset. Depreciation is
provided to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life as below:
Computer Equipment
20% per annum straight line basis
General Equipment
20% per annum straight line basis
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using
the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the
transaction Is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of
Interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabljities
Basic financlal labilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction
price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is
measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at market rate of interest. Financial
liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company's contractual obligations expire
or are discharged or cancelled.
Taxation
Income and gains are exempt from taxation as they are received and applied for charitable purposes
only. The charitable company benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax
legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions.
Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's
services are received.

SAHIR HOUSE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2025
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assoclated assumptions are based on
historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate Is revised where the revision
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects
both current and future periods.
Gifted property and disposal
n 2012, the chartable company was gifted a two thirds interest In a farm property
t the date it was gifted, the property was subject to a lifetime tennancy arrangemen
Because this prevented the charitable company from determining a reliable fair value for It's interest,
the property was not recognised as a fixed asset, in accordance with the Charities Statement of
Recommended Practice (FRS102), but disclosed instead.
In April 2024, following the terminatlon of the tennancy, the farm was sold. The charitable company
received £307,137 for it's two thirds interest(after costs deducted).
As the farm had not previously been recognised in the balance sheet, the entire proceeds are
recognised as a gain on disposal of a fixed asset in the Statement of Financial Activities.
