Welcome
Message from the Chair
I am proud to present SurvivorsUK’s Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025.
This year has been one of consolidation, renewal, and fresh momentum as we completed a period of leadership transition both within the staff team and Board of Trustees. I’d like to express my gratitude for the service of Gary Williams, who retired as CEO early in 2025, and extend a very warm welcome to our new CEO, Paul Dillane. I am also deeply thankful to Thom Crabbe and Tanaka Mhishi for their years of commitment as Chair and Vice-Chair; their steady stewardship helped guide the organisation through important growth and change. This was my first year as Chair, and I could not have taken on this role without the support of our co-Vice Chairs, Samuel Peterson and Nerissa Steel, whose counsel and energy have been invaluable.
Our core services continued to develop in ways that reflect the priorities set out in our strategic plan. Group work remains a distinctive and expanding part of our offer, and we have sustained progress in reducing counselling waiting times through student placements and service redesign. We have strengthened our outreach to communities that have been underrepresented among our clients and invested in fundraising and communications capacity to secure the resources we need to meet rising demand.
None of this would be possible without the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and trustees. Every day they bring compassion, professionalism, and creativity to the work of supporting survivors to begin their journey of recovery. I want to record my particular thanks to our frontline teams for their resilience, to our clinical colleagues for their expertise, and to the growing number of volunteers and peer supporters who help build safer, connected communities.
We are also enormously grateful to our funders, partners, and individual supporters. Their continued belief in SurvivorsUK enables us to innovate, to reach more people, and to hold survivors’ needs at the centre of everything we do. Equally important are the survivors and service users who have shared their experiences and helped shape our services; their voices guide our priorities and keep us accountable.
Looking ahead, our focus is on embedding the gains of this year while preparing for the next strategic phase beyond 2025. We will continue to reduce barriers to access, diversify our income, deepen partnerships across the sector, and expand our digital and face-to-face provision so that every boy, man, and nonbinary person who needs support can find it.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to SurvivorsUK this year. Your commitment makes real change possible and gives hope to those we serve.

Trustees’ annual report
The Board of Trustees, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, and Trustees for charity law purposes, submit their annual report and the financial statements of SurvivorsUK for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The Board of Trustees confirms that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, including the Charity Act 2011, as well as the requirements of the Charity’s governing document and the provisions of the ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
Aims and objectives
SurvivorsUK’s objective is to provide practical and emotional support to men, boys and gender nonconforming people who have experienced sexual violence, and to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of our clients and their friends, families and loved ones. We also work to raise awareness of the extent of sexual violence against men, boys and gender non-conforming people – to encourage them to seek the help and support they want and to improve professional practice of those who work with them, such as the police, health and social care professionals. SurvivorsUK was established in 1986 and incorporated as a registered charity in June 1999. Today, the charity is the only specialist service in London to help men, boys and gender non-confirming people navigate the impact of sexual violence. Nationally, we provide help and support through our website, telephone, online helpline services and groupwork. Additionally, in London we provide face to face counselling, groupwork, Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA), outreach and engagement services and clinics for legal advice and sexual health. Our aim is to help any man, boy or non-binary person over the age of 13 who has experienced sexual violence feel empowered to speak about what has happened to them and to be able to access support, should they want it, so they can deal with the devastating impact that sexual violence can have on all aspects of life.
Delivering Public Beneft
SurvivorsUK’s objectives and activities fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further. There is an inherent public benefit in raising public awareness of the extent of sexual violence against men and boys so that more feel confident to talk about their experiences, seek help, and access appropriate support. The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s objectives and activities, and when planning activities.
Our Service Delivery during 2024/25
Counselling
Over the past year, SurvivorsUK’s counselling service has continued to deliver specialist, trauma-informed support to men, boys, and non-binary survivors of sexual violence. Demand for counselling has remained high, with sustained pressure on capacity across the year.
At the start of the reporting period, the counselling waiting list stood at approximately 2.5 years, with 300+ clients waiting for support. Through targeted service improvements and workforce expansion, by the beginning of 2025 this was reduced to 18 months, with around 200 clients on the waiting list. This reduction represents a significant achievement in a context of rising demand.
Between January 2024 and March 2025, the counselling service supported 192 clients, delivering 2,374 counselling sessions. Support was provided through a mix of one-off sessions, short-term interventions (six sessions), and longer-term counselling (up to 24 sessions), allowing flexibility to respond to client need and readiness.
During this period, the counselling team expanded to 22 staff members, including paid counsellors, volunteers, and students. This growth has been central to increasing capacity while maintaining clinical quality and supervision standards.

SurvivorsUK Ltd Annual report and financial statements
Year ended 31 March 2025
Across the reporting period, the combined counselling services (general and national) received 523 referrals, reflecting both the scale of need and SurvivorsUK’s role as a trusted provider of specialist support. The positive feedback from our clients underscores the importance of these services:
‘I had therapy with [staff member] , his patient, kind , professional approach was /is second to none, he understood how I felt and all with what comes from being a sexual abuse survivor , I’m looking forward to more help from your organisation and hopefully some clarity and closure, I feel sad that [staff member] and I finished our meetings (last one today) it was an emotional catch net for me every week and a chance to talk to someone as I’m socially isolated’
‘[Staff member] was highly professional, easy to talk to and provided the much needed support. [Staff member] helped me confront serious issues and assisted me in overcoming the challenges they presented which impacted my daily life. I am now ready to resume my life with the traumatic past being in the past. My sincere and humble thanks to [staff member] and Survivors.’
‘[Staff member] has provided enhanced support for the secondary abuse I have experienced as an adult, as opposed to the support SurvivorsUK provided to me for my primary reason for contacting you years ago for abuse as a minor.
Although not always abuse focused, [staff member] has enabled me to realise my neurodiversity (ADHD) and my life takes on new purpose and …, adventure in my next chapter of realising who I am.
Thanks from the heart to her compassion, understanding and love in this course of counselling. Wishing all at SurvivorsUK the very best.’
‘Ive attend both group and single counselling and i found both to be brilliant and helpfull in my healing process ,helping me.”
Outcomes
Evaluation data from counselling clients demonstrates strong improvements in emotional wellbeing, coping, and empowerment:
-
95% reported reduced feelings of tension, anxiety, or nervousness
-
85% felt they had someone to turn to for support when needed
-
90% felt better able to cope when things went wrong
-
90% felt more empowered to make their own choices
These outcomes reflect the effectiveness of trauma-informed counselling in supporting survivors to build resilience, regain a sense of control, and strengthen their support networks.
Swift Service
The Swift Service continued to play a vital role in providing urgent, short-term therapeutic support for survivors experiencing acute distress while waiting for long-term counselling. All clients accessing the service received 6–12 trauma-focused sessions, including stabilisation techniques, risk and symptom management, and psychoeducation.
During the year, the Swift Service supported 247 clients, delivering approximately 1,300 short-term counselling sessions. This intervention has been particularly effective in reducing immediate distress and supporting emotional regulation during periods of heightened vulnerability.
Client feedback highlights the importance of timely access:

“He said you really knew your stuff and were incredibly empathetic — the support was impactful.”
National Counselling Service
Our National Counselling Service, funded by the Home Office and delivered through a consortium led by Mankind UK (East Sussex), continued to expand its reach during the year. The service supports clients outside our London catchment area, offering up to six months of counselling.
During 2024–25, the service delivered 548 counselling sessions and supported 86 clients. Clients received a mix of one-off, short-term, and longer-term counselling, depending on clinical need and service availability. Referral pathways across the consortium have enabled many clients to access immediate support through partner organisations. For those choosing to receive counselling directly from SurvivorsUK, waiting times remain low, with a small waiting list of seven clients and an estimated wait of six months.
Client feedback demonstrates the transformative impact of this service:
“I feel like a new man — SurvivorsUK completely changed my life.”
“The support I received saved my life.”
Prison Service
Our NHS-funded Prison Project made significant progress this year. Following completion of vetting and prison-specific training, the Prison Link Worker established a presence at HMP Brixton, building relationships with prison staff, mental health teams, and support services.
At year end, six individuals were waiting to begin work with the Prison Link Worker. The project has laid strong foundations for future delivery, including the development of referral pathways, staff engagement, and trauma-informed practice within custodial settings.
Westminster Service
The Westminster Counselling Service continued to deliver specialist, trauma-informed support to individuals experiencing homelessness and complex disadvantage. The project maintained a strong focus on flexibility, outreach, and meeting clients “where they are,” both emotionally and practically.
Across the year:
-
Each counsellor worked with 6–11 clients at any one time. A total of 553 counselling sessions were
-
delivered
-
Support included therapeutic work, psychoeducation, creative interventions, and practical
-
advocacy
The service integrated creative and relational therapeutic approaches to enhance engagement, particularly for clients with complex trauma, substance use, and housing instability. Feedback from clients and partner staff reflects the value of this work:
“Having therapy is like releasing my pressure valve.”
“Thank you for continuing to check in, even when I couldn’t respond.”
“The session helped me see my clients in a completely different way.”

Looking Ahead
Demand across all counselling services remains high, and waiting times continue to present a significant challenge. Over the coming year, our focus will be on:
-
Increasing capacity through sustainable workforce models
-
Strengthening specialist provision
-
Embedding learning from pilot and outreach services
-
Continuing to advocate for funding that reflects the level and complexity of need
The dedication, skill, and resilience of the counselling team have been central to delivering high-quality support in an increasingly challenging context. Their work continues to change lives.
ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisors) Service
Our ISVA team continued to provide specialist, trauma-informed support to survivors navigating the criminal justice system and related processes. The service focuses on ensuring that survivors feel informed, supported, and empowered to make choices that are right for them, while also providing practical and emotional support throughout often complex and lengthy journeys.
During the reporting period, the ISVA service supported a total of 597 clients, including 160 new clients. Alongside this, our Case Worker service supported 111 clients, of whom 48 were new, providing additional targeted support for survivors with complex needs.
In addition to one-to-one casework, the team delivered 12 Advice Hub sessions, offering accessible information and guidance to survivors nationwide.
The ISVA team has also continued to focus on outreach and partnership work. This included targeted engagement with universities to raise awareness among students and staff about the impact of sexual violence on men, boys, and non-binary people. We strengthened our partnership with the London School of Economics (LSE), providing advice and support to male students, and expanded our external networks through engagement with specialist BAME organisations. Our BAM-focused practitioner supported 65 and connected with other BAME colleagues across UK services, supporting learning, collaboration, and culturally responsive practice. In addition to the core ISVA service, 44 young people were supported during the reporting period through our Young People’s ISVA provision. The service also delivered targeted advice support, with both the BAM ISVA and Young People’s ISVA providing advice to a further 20 clients. This work strengthened early intervention, improved access to specialist guidance, and supported clients to navigate options at an earlier stage. Client testimonials underscore the invaluable impact of our ISVA services:
“If I didn’t have your support I would probably drop the whole thing, you’ve been invaluable and you’re fantastic at your job, you are a soothing presence and very knowledgeable.”
“I do not know where I would be without you, thank you. Actually I do know, I would not be here today if I had not found you and SurvivorsUK I am so grateful for you and for very literally saving my life. It has been so hard, but knowing I have you to phone and who checks in has kept me safe.”
“Because of everything I have been through you have been one of a few people I can count on to support me and be there and when you say you’re going to do something you do it. And as I said I will forever be in your debt because I don’t think I would of been able to continue if it wasn’t for your amazing support so thank you so much. I accept it has to come to a end at some point. Will I like it absolutely not but its life and down the line I’m sure I will continue to flourish”
“Your support is on another level in terms of the kindness and empathy you in a professional capacity. I can’t put it in words’”

The service will also continue to adapt to increasing demand and complexity, ensuring survivors are supported to make informed choices and feel empowered throughout their journeys.
– Group Work Service End of Year Summary
During the year, Survivors UK’s Group Work Service continued to play a vital role in supporting survivors of sexual violence and abuse, alongside their loved ones. Thanks to continued funding support, we were able to sustain and adapt our group provision, ensuring that survivors could access safe, trauma-informed spaces for connection, reflection, and healing.
Throughout the year, we delivered a wide range of online and in-person group programmes, including CORE groups, identity-based groups, thematic workshops, and peer-support spaces. These groups were facilitated by a dedicated Group Work team, counsellors, and specialist practitioners, providing consistent, high-quality support across the service.
Between April 2024 and March 2025, we received 116 new referrals into group work, and 245 clients accessed group support at least once during this period. Clients were supported through both structured programmes and ongoing monthly groups, enabling people to engage in ways that matched their needs and readiness. Feedback consistently highlighted the importance of peer connection, shared understanding, and feeling safe and believed within group spaces.
Client feedback illustrates the impact of this work:
“This was helpful and enjoyable and I wasn’t expecting that.”
“It’s so nice to be in a space where others know exactly how I feel. I felt so heard and understood.”
“This group has been a lifeline for me.”
Outcomes
Evaluation data from group participants shows strong outcomes across emotional wellbeing, empowerment, and connection:
-
100% of participants felt understood by the facilitators
-
94% felt their understanding of sexual violence had improved

79% felt better able to engage with their emotions in a healthy way
-
82% felt less isolated
-
85% felt more empowered as a result of attending the group
Core and Ongoing Groups
CORE groups continued to be a cornerstone of the service, providing survivors with structured, time-limited therapeutic support. Alongside closed CORE programmes, Ongoing CORE groups offered continuity and longer-term peer support. Adjustments were made during the year to improve accessibility, including moving sessions from weekends to weekday evenings based on client feedback.
Identity-Based and Specialist Groups
We continued to deliver specialist groups tailored to specific identities and experiences, including the Black, Asian and Mixed-Heritage (BAM) Group, Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Questioning (TNBGQ) Group, Allies Group, and Surviving Chemsex Group. These spaces were highly valued, particularly by clients who often feel marginalised or unseen in mainstream services. Case studies demonstrate how culturally responsive, identity-affirming spaces enabled survivors to reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and reduce isolation.
Monthly and Wellbeing Groups
Monthly Tune-In and Get Together groups provided accessible, informal spaces for both new and returning clients, while Wednesday Wellness sessions offered themed workshops focused on recovery, grounding, and self-care. We also delivered additional wellbeing and social sessions during the festive period, recognising that this time of year can be especially difficult for many survivors.
Looking Ahead
In the coming year, we will continue refining our group work model, expanding facilitator training, embedding regular client feedback pathways, and developing both digital and in-person provision. Our focus remains on delivering inclusive, trauma-informed group support that responds to the evolving needs of survivors and their communities.
SurvivorsUK National Helpline
The 2024–25 year was a particularly challenging period for the National Helpline team. The withdrawal of Ministry of Justice funding and the impending closure of the service at the end of the financial year created significant uncertainty. During this time, the service began implementing closure procedures and redundancy consultations. This was later halted when Lottery funding was awarded, securing the continuation of the helpline.
Despite this period of instability and pressure, the helpline remained a vital point of access for survivors seeking immediate, compassionate support. Throughout the year, the service continued to operate at high volume and impact.
Between April 2024 and March 2025:
-
1,126 webchats were handled, providing immediate support to 1,038 individuals
-
411 SMS conversations took place, supporting 365 individuals
-
936 email enquiries were responded to
-
Survivors were signposted over 566 times to other services and support options
The helpline team plays a critical role within SurvivorsUK’s wider ecosystem, often acting as the first point of contact and supporting survivors to understand their experiences, feel believed, and navigate onward support safely.

Year ended 31 March 2025
Feedback from those who accessed the helpline highlights the importance and impact of this service:
“Just from this chat I’ve suddenly felt a weight off my shoulders. Thank you for being there to listen and validate my feelings.”
“While this has been a rubbish situation, and not many services offer support to people like me, it’s been so lovely how kind and caring everyone I’ve spoken to has been.”
“Hearing that I’m not going mad and that it’s okay to be confused has been so reassuring.”
“I feel a little wobbly but proud to have done this. Thank you — you don’t know how much this has meant to me.”
“You feel very relaxed when speaking to them, and it has been a great help.”
During the year, 233 feedback forms were returned by helpline users. These showed strong outcomes:
-
91% of clients felt they were heard
-
91% found the person they spoke to helpful
-
76% felt much better after the interaction
-
89% said they would use the service again if needed
These outcomes demonstrate the helpline’s continued effectiveness, even during a period of organisational uncertainty. The commitment, resilience, and professionalism of the helpline team ensured that survivors continued to receive timely, empathetic, and high-quality support when they needed it most.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead, the focus for the National Helpline will be on stabilising the service following a period of uncertainty, strengthening staff wellbeing and retention, and continuing to provide accessible, highquality support to survivors across multiple contact channels, while working to secure longer-term sustainability.
Refection on core service delivery:
As we reflect on the past year, we are proud of the impact our services have had on the lives of the clients we support. Despite ongoing challenges and increasing demand, our teams have continued to deliver high-quality, trauma-informed support across all services. Looking ahead, we remain committed to strengthening and sustaining our provision, expanding capacity where possible, and developing specialist services to meet the evolving needs of survivors.

We have audited the financial statements of SurvivorsUK Ltd (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming
-
resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
-
Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we ave obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern has been impacted by a change in the arrangements with one of its major funders, MOPAC. The new larger contract with MOPAC secures funding for the Charity’s services for another five years but the Charity will receive significantly more of its funding in arrears. The change in the timing of receipts may restrict the ability of the Charity to settle its liabilities as they fall due. To help manage this issue, the trustees agreed with MOPAC that it will be paying its funding monthly in arrears. The trustees are also seeking additional funds to help manage this situation as well as monitoring the Charity’s cashflow. The cashflow forecasting has shown that there are sufficient funds available, but there is limited tolerance.
As stated in note 1, these events and conditions, along with other matters noted above, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, such that the Charity may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material

Year ended 31 March 2025
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the
-
trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement [set out on page 20], the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which 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.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the fnancial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Charity financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 can detect irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach was as follows:
To identify risks of material misstatement due to irregularities we assessed events or conditions that could lead to irregularities. Our risk assessment procedures included:
-
enquiring of Trustees and management and inspection of policy documentation as to the Charity’s
-
policies and procedures to prevent and detect irregularities, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud or breaches of relevant laws and regulations.;
-
reading Board minutes; and
Charity number 1077484 Company number 03792760
18
SurvivorsUK Ltd Annual report and financial statements
Year ended 31 March 2025
- using analytical procedures to identify any usual or unexpected relationships.
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience through discussion with the Trustees and management (as required by auditing standards). We communicated with the Trustees and management the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We identified the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the Charities Act 2011, The Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (the SORP), Occupational Health and Safety regulations, the Data Protection Act, and relevant tax legislation.
In addition, we have considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: employment law, recognising the nature of the Charity’s activities and its legal form. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit cannot be relied upon to detect that breach.
We communicated identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above and assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
The engagement partner considers the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
As required by auditing standards and considering possible pressures to meet internal key performance indicators and our knowledge of the control environment, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls and the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition, in particular the risk that income is recorded in the incorrect accounting period and the risk that management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries.
We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows:
-
our audit team discussed whether there were any areas that were susceptible to misstatement as
-
part of our discussion on fraud; and
-
we challenged assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting
-
estimates and judgements.
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud, including, designing appropriate audit procedures, including:
-
incorporating an element of unpredictability in the selection of the nature, timing, and extent of
-
our audit procedures;
-
identifying journal entries and other adjustments to test based on risk criteria and comparing the
-
identified entries to supporting documentation;
-
inspecting the relevant income agreements and their accounting to confirm their recognition in
-
line with the SORP for different revenue streams;
-
inspecting stock count sheets;
-
obtaining third party bank confirmations; and

• assessing the design and effectiveness of controls in place over areas such as procurement and cash.
We considered the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities: There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), including Update Bulletin 2, and the Companies Act 2006.
The effect of any event relating to the year ended 31 March 2025, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 March 2025 and the results for the year ended on that date.
The functional currency of the Charity is sterling and amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There is however a material uncertainty that impact this assessment, as during the year the Charity has received a new larger contract with MOPAC for a large proportion of its services. Whilst this secures those services for another five years, it means that a more significant amount of the Charity’s revenue is now funded in arrears with minimal spare cash reserves. To mitigate this risk MOPAC have agreed to fund monthly in arrears, but should those payments not come in within a timely manner the Charity may struggle to pay liabilities as they fall due. Cashflow forecasting has shown that there is a small amount of tolerance around this but it is minimal, and the priority of the Board of Trustees is to find additional unrestricted cash reserves to help manage this situation.
Legal status
SurvivorsUK Ltd is a charitable company registered in England & Wales and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member. The registered address is Unit F, The Bagel Factory, 22 White Post Lane, London. E9 5SZ.
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 Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been designated for a specific purpose by the
Trustees. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in note 13 of the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 13 of the financial statements.

1. Accounting policies (continued from previous page)
Income
Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable.
Grant income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless the grant relates to a future period, in which case it is deferred.
Income from charitable activities, including contract income and client fees, is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period or event, in which case it is deferred.
Interest is recorded when it is receivable.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.
Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated proportionate to total direct costs allocated to each project area, as outlined in note 5 of the financial statements.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised unless funded by restricted grants and donations.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their residual value, over their useful life, on the following basis:
Computers equipment 3 years
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values but are not held for investment purposes.
Debtors and prepayments
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is applied. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Creditors and accruals
Creditors are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Annual report and financial statements
1. Accounting policies (continued from previous page)
Critical estimates and judgements
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost other than investments which are measured at fair value.
Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is administered by an external independent pension provider. Contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due.
