FOREWORD
Verity Glasgow, CEO
For over 50 years, OnePlusOne has been flying the flag for
healthy relationships being accessible to all, always. We
don't believe relational health should only be thought about
when there's a need to separate or access counselling. but
also in those early days when the foundations start to show
cracks. This is a completely normal aspect of being in a
relationship - so why don't we talk about it more? It's the
messy stuff we don't talk about that we need to attend to
before relationship breakdown. be that with your partner,
friend. parent. or colleague.
I have been encouraged to see the beginnings of a change
in the wider societal narrative around this topic over the past
year. When talking to others about healthy relationships being
a prioritised public health message, l am being met with
understanding and curiosity as to how we can achieve that,
which is refreshingl We've been tackling this through training, awareness raising, digital behaviour
change interventions. and speaking at events across 2024-25.
Over the past year, we have focused on developing and refining our skills-based training to raise
awareness, broaden our reach, and access new audiences. Our goal has been clear: to develop
and implement innovative products that enhance and nurture both personal and professional
relationships. We have achieved this through creating a first-class training intervention that teaches
relational capability skills both as helping interventions in home situations and in workplaces. By
building on OnePlusOne's well-known side door approach, we have been able to embed relationship
support in environments where it is most needed. Our training creates relational individuals, helping
people get on better, wherever they are.
We could not carry out the depth of training we do without the research and evaluation element
of our work. This year. we have re-ignited our research partnerships. deepened our expertise. and
paved the way for new evidence-based projects that strengthen our foundation and broaden our
reach by adding to the evidence base. In this way, we are providing more helpful tools and tips to
share with people.
Alongside this. we have continued to support parents to separate better with our unique app,
Separating better. This app covers a full digital behaviour change intervention." emotional readiness.
emotional regulation, collaboration, communication, and practical support, helping families
navigate what can be extremely challenging transitions with care and confidence. Our evaluation of
the app's impact has shown real promise in improving separated parents, emotional readiness and
their ability to collaborate.
Looking ahead, we must work collaboratively with the national government, local government,
and the third sector to champion the importance of building healthy relationships. It is our
responsibility to fly the flag for early intervention in relationship support and engage government

in cross-departmental collaboration. Relationships cannot be an afterthought," they are the
first foundation we lay in any interaction. We cannot talk about parenting without talking about
the parental relationship. We cannot talk about team dynamics without talking about team
relationships.
Relationships are vital for our health and happiness. and we must nurture them.

FOREWORD
Ruth Kennedy, outgoing chair
During 2024-2025 OnePlusOne has continued
to pioneer: designing, testing and delivering
interventions that directly support both families
and professionals all over the country. l am so
proud of all the achievements highlighted in this
annual report. Our work - whether through digital
innovations like the Separating better app, or our
evidence-based training for practitioners and
professionals - continues to meet people where
they are at. equipping them and growing their
relational capabilities and confidence. We have
continued to forge partnerships with businesses
and charities, councils and governments, academic institutions and researchers,
funders and families; demonstrating the rich potential of collaboration thats rooted in
evidence, empathy, and practical hope.
As we increasingly drown in stories of political and social fracture from around the
world, the need to invest in relational capability is clearly urgent. Encouragingly.
research suggests that Gen Alpha is switched onto the need to prioritise wellbeing and
already has a strong sense of self-worth. So l am particularly excited by our proposal
to develop a digital behaviour change intervention to strengthen primary school pupils,
relational skills and confidence. These young people are the key to all our futures.
As I bow out as chair. I want to raise a cheer to the amazing team that creates the
magic that really is OnePlusOne. The incredible staff team, led so ably by Verity, has
continued to respond with creativity to financial uncertainty, shifts in the operating
environment and the perennial challenge of pursuing ambitious aims with constrained
resources. Looking forward, OnePlusOne continues into its sixth decade as an
organisation that is well governed, resilient, secure in its purpose and fizzing with
ideas and future possibilities. l am passing the baton to talented new leadership in
the form of cTrchairs Nell and Jonty, and they will be supported by a vibrant board of
trustee colleagues.
The times we are living in ask us all leaders, policymakers, practitioners, colleagues,
neighbours and families to champion relationship health with renewed creativity and
urgency. l am certain OnePlusOne is poised to lead this next chapter with confidence
and hope.

FOREWORD
Eleanor Boase and Jonathan Slater, incoming chairs
Ruth Kennedy is a hard act to follow. She has been a trustee of
OnePlusOne for 15 years and has served as chair for five years. She
has brought wisdom. experience and humour to the role, ensuring that
the charity focuses on the big picture and its core aims, while steering
a great team of trustees. We are privileged to take the baton from her,
and - importantly - to do so together.
As C￿Chairs, we believe there is real value in sharing leadership.
Co-chairing enables us to bring diverse perspectives, skills, and
experiences to the table, while ensuring continuity, resilience, and
balance in decision-making. It also models the very principles that
OnePlusOne promotes" collaboration. communication and the strength
that comes from healthy relationships.
These are challenging times for the charity sector, as we witness
government aid being reduced in Britain and around the world. It
is even more challenging to see funding cut in areas where early
intervention makes such a significant difference. Early intervention is
the key. as OnePlusOne has consistently demonstrated through its use
of behavioural research and analysis of interventions.
Relationship support is vital because relationships underpin society, creating better outcomes for
health, happiness, and the next generation. OnePlusOne makes a measurable difference, and the
need for its work has never been clearer.
As ever, we are awed by the amount that this small but dedicated band can achieve. With strong
leadership from its CEO, the team has built and proven the success of the Separating Better app.
They have created the Relational Leaders training, which is expected to help diversify our income
and has already received excellent feedback. And they have made a strong start on updating our
digital presence to modernise and simplify our offerings.
In the coming year, we will lose three outstanding trustees: Emma Ries, Simon Eckstein and Pravin
Somasundrum. However, we will also welcome James Freeman, who brings extensive experience
in family law.
In today s world. creating strong and healthy relationships is more important than ever. We
still have a lot to do: we need to understand relationships better, discover how they can be
strengthened, and find new ways to share that knowledge widely throughout society. It is an
honour to be part of this work, and a privilege to lead it together.

Aims and achievement 2024-25
1. Further develop and implement a strategic approach for entering new
markets with innovative products that enhance and nurture both personal
and professional relationships.
This approach will leverage market research, customer insights, and tailored
marketing strategies to effectively meet the unique needs and preferences of diverse
target audiences, fostering strong customer relationships and driving sustainable
growth of the organisation.
Building relational capability across services
Building on decades of research into what makes relationships effective, we have developed and
delivered training based on our evidence-based relational capability framework. We focused on
two key programmes: Relational capability and Relational leaders, each designed to strengthen
confidence and relational skills across health care, social care, and other workplace settings.
We trained 29 practitioners and partnered with four local authorities to deliver Relational
capability, which supports practitioners working directly with service users. Our evaluation results
demonstrated measurable improvement in behaviours over a six-week period, with early signs
suggesting this improvement continues over time.
To expand our reach, we developed and
delivered Relational leaders, a training
course tailored to leaders, managers,
and teams in workplace settings. We had
successes with both Cornwall Council
and Comic Relief, where participants
reported greater confidence and
enhanced leadership capability.
Significantly, these programmes were
accredited by the CPD Certification
Service, offering formal recognition
of their quality and impact. Positive
feedback highlighted that participants
from both programmes were able to
apply their enhanced relational skills not
only in professional settings, but in their
personal lives as well.
°Since attending the Relational leaders training, I have
felt more confident in my abilities to lead lothersl
and build meaningful relationships. The two-day
course was really well thought out. with a pace that
kept me engaged and challenged. The course leaders
were incredibly knowledgeable and able to tailor the
training to the group, with discussion points that
enabled us to reflect on our own experiences.-
Laura Bell, supporter care associate, Comic Relief
Throughout the year. we delivered
the Reducing parental conflict (RPC)
programme in standard and Train the
Trainer formats to 11 cohorts across
14 local authorities. We also provided
targeted consultancy sessions to BCP

12 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
and Cornwall councils, and shared our learning through forums including Family Hubs networks,
early help teams, and our own Lunch & Learn sessions.
Despite overall training delivery slowing this year, we are proud of the progress we have made in
programme development and the promising outcomes demonstrated through evaluations. These
results reinforce the power of relational practice and leadership in achieving better outcomes for
service users, teams, and communities.
Reducing parental conflict
In the ongoing delivery of our Reducing parental conflict package, we are excited to be helping
families in four new areas: Cheshire West and Chester, Wigan, North East Lincolnshire, and
Newcastle City. There are also four areas who have returned to using OnePlusOne resources
after a break: Knowsley. St. Helens. Middlesborough. and Lancashire.
We have been in discussions with four new local authorities regarding licenses for the next
financial year and have received commitments from Hackney, Halton, London Borough of Sutton,
West Northamptonshire, and Trafford for the financial year 2024-25. Given the uncertainty around
local authority funding beyond 2024-2025, we were pleased to see commitment from these new
authorities.
2. Expand the evidence base through re-igniting our partnerships with
academic institutions, applying the latest research in our innovative
products and content while sharing knowledge and expertise.
The comprehensive evaluations of our products will inform continuous improvement,
drive innovation, and support evidence-based decision making. This will enhance
the quality and effectiveness of our resources and cement our reputation as industry
experts and thought leaders in this area of applied research. We will reinforce
ourselves as the go-to applied relationship research experts, producing not only our
own research but also partnering with academics to create impact by sharing their
findings with our users.
University partnerships
We have maintained our relationships with our academic partners. This includes our emotional
readiness work with the Centre for Behavioural Science and Applied Psychology (CeBSAP), and our
participation in the student placement programme at Sheffield Hallam University. We also acted
as a 'client' for Sheffield Hallam students to deliver a real world research project to, as part of their
second year Applied Psychology module. Our digital resource data is currently being used as part
of a secondary data analysis project for a PhD at CeBSAP.
OnePlusOne are part of a UK-Australia research team, led by the University of Lancaster, which
submitted a bid to the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) exploring relationship
breakdown in midlife. We are also the impact partner on an ESRC-funded project with the University
of Surrey exploring nostalgia in romantic relationships. and a stakeholder partner for a Nuffield-
funded project exploring parents, experiences. This is led by the University of Cambridge's Centre
for Child, Adolescent and Family Research.

13 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
Our senior research lead remains part of the committee for organising the International
Association for Relationship Research 2026 conference in Glasgow, and sits on the social events
and volunteer subcommittees.
In the last quarter of 2024-25, the OnePlusOne research team, along with our research
trustee, began the process of establishing a research advisory group to bolster our academic
collaborations and research integrity. The group consists of academics and practice experts in the
field of relationships.
Nuffield Foundation bid
Alongside an educational psychology researcher from the University of Surrey, OnePlusOne
submitted a bid to the Nuffield Foundation's Research, Development and Analysis Fund. We want
to develop and trial a brief digital behaviour change intervention (DBCI) designed to strengthen
Year 5 (aged 9-10) pupils. capacity to engage in and maintain healthy relationships by teaching
the fundamental social and emotional skills of 'relational capability. These relational skills - self-
regulation, mentalisation, empathy, communication, and psychological and cognitive flexibility and
adaptability - are foundational to children's flourishing and later life outcomes. The intervention
would be delivered as part of schools, personal, social, health, and economic (PSHE) healthy
relationships curriculum.
We also proposed providing teacher training to strengthen teachers, relational capability and their
ability and confidence in using the digital resource.
We anticipate the project will improve life chances for the most disadvantaged pupils by developing
their emotional and relational capabilities through improvements in SEL delivery. This would be
achieved by:
Improving the quality of teaching and learning in SEL practice.
Informing curriculum design and classroom practice.
The proposal is due for submission in April 2025.
Separating better evaluation
As part of our Challenge Fund project in which we
developed and launched the Separating better co-
parenting app, we conducted an evaluation between
March and October 2024. The project was evaluated
using a combination of qualitative and quantitative
approaches. Between November 2024 and January
2025, we analysed this data and submitted a
research report to our funders, the Department for
Work and Pensions.

If we are to continue giving parents and children the

continue to offer easy access to resources that are
free to use, engaging, and evidence based.

3. Develop and promote a compelling narrative that underscores the
importance of early intervention in relationships.
This narrative will be grounded in evidence-based research and real life stories,
highlighting the benefits of proactive support in fostering healthy. resilient
relationships. By effectively communicating this message through various channels,
we aim to raise awareness, encourage timely action, and ultimately contribute to the
wellbeing of individuals and communities - while increasing brand awareness.
Work it out: A proof of concept
At the end of the financial year, OnePlusOne took part in a proof of concept with the Department
for Work and Pensions (DWP). The target audience was separated parents using the Child
Maintenance Service (CMS) calculator. with the aim being to assess their appetite to click on a link
offering support with co-parenting communication and post-separation negotiations.
The CMS calculator is an online tool hosted on the gov.uk site where parents can input financial
details and get an idea of what their child maintenance payments might be. On the final page,
where the calculator results are displayed. there are several links listed down the right-hand side.
OnePlusOne's link was added to this page for the duration of the proof of concept.
The DWP had proposed using Getting it Right for Children, our video-based BMT intervention
for co-parents. However, as this is part of our licensed Reducing Parental Conflict package, we
were unable to make it nationally available. Instead, we extracted the Work it out videos from the
Separating better app. These make up a similar BMT intervention and were already universally
available through the app. To house the videos, we built a mini-course on the Thinkific platform.
CMS users who clicked on our link at the end of the calculator were given the option to do the Work
it out course or download Separating better. Both options started with the EARDA questionnaire,
the only validated measure of co-parental emotional readiness. This was not part of the proof of
concept. but was an opportunity to test the impact of the videos independently of the app.
The link was live for eight weeks and received 326 unique visitors, with a conversion rate of around
6°&. While this seems low, it is comparable with similar links on this page and the conversion
rates exceeded general expectations for online relationship support, which suggest an optimal
conversion rate of 2-5%.
The low numbers reflect some of the limitations. The aim was to test users, appetite to click
on a link this relied on the user reaching the end of the CMS calculator, noticing the link,
understanding what it was, and then making the decision to click through.
The link was one of several simple text links on the page. Due to gov.uk regulations, no additional
branding was permitted to help it stand out or show where it would lead. Placement at the end of
the calculator meant the user was already at the end of a UX journey, having completed their 'goal'.
There was no other route to the link, for example through internet search or direct link, so the pool
of potential users was naturally restricted.
Despite these limitations, the findings are promising. The number of parents clicking through
was in line with user activity for similar pages, and the conversion rate was on the higher end

16 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
of expectations for self-guided digital relationship support. Outside of this scope. the data we
collected shows that parents who signed up had good progress rates and engaged well with the
content.
As seen in our full evaluation of Separating better, using the app improves parents. emotional
readiness and co-parenting cooperation. This demonstrates the value of a digital resource for
parents in feeling supported, reflecting on their own behaviour, and bringing focus back to their
children.
Renewing our communications strategy
The Separating better Challenge Fund project was a good
opportunity to invest in digital marketing and see the impact
it can have in real time. During the funded period, we saw a
steady stream of downloads which dropped dramatically when
advertising was paused.
To explore how digital marketing could increase the reach of
other resources, we engaged a small agency called Clearview
to help promote our professional training courses. Clearview
were appointed to run two marketing campaigns, working
alongside OnePlusOne staff to promote both Relational
leaders and Relational capability training.

This campaign led to the creation of some lead magnets -

to users while encouraging them to opt in to marketing mailing
lists. People who accessed the resources then received
additional tips and advice on relational skills, with information
about how to sign up to the full training courses.

with our business plan and will help shape the next financial

activity on social media, sharpening our SEO and AEO plans,
and making ourselves more visible as a trusted authority on
evidence-based relationship support.

Events and podcasts
This has been an exciting year for us as we've worked to increase our reach with new audiences.
By attending sector conferences and events, and actively seeking speaking and exhibition
opportunities, we have promoted the OnePlusOne brand and created future opportunities.
We have attended Family Hubs events. including the five-year celebration held in Parliament in
June and a conference in Derby in November. We also received invitations to speak at several
events focusing on reducing parental conflict (RPC), including Newcastle's 'lt's Great to Relate,
conference, Peterborough's RPC Champions network, and regional Communities of Practice events
with local authorities organised by the Department for Works and Pensions.
It was a privilege to have our exhibition stands at Only Mums & Dads, inaugural separation
conference held at Reading University and at a conference organised by Foundations - What
Works Centre for Children & Families. These explored building early help and family support around
parental relationships, providing us with an opportunity to showcase our evidenctrbased resources
to support parental relationships.
Our team has also been focused on promoting our Separating better app and the importance
of supporting co-parents during the separation process. We maximised the opportunity to
raise awareness of this funded resource at every event attended, including reaching out to new
audiences in family law. We were delighted to be invited to take part in a panel discussion at the
Westminster Legal Policy Forum in December to discuss modernising the family justice system
and supporting families through non-court dispute resolution (NCDR).
As part of our continuing efforts to raise awareness of the
importance of relational skills in the workplace, we had an
exhibition stand at the Institute of Government and Public
Policls (IGPP) Health & Wellbeing conference. We also spoke
at The Happiness Index's annual conference about workplace
relationships. These events led to us delivering Relational leaders
training with Comic Relief and our CEO Verity Glasgow appearing
on the Speaking of Inclusion podcast. The podcast is hosted by
Katie Allen, a diversity, equality, and inclusion expert who spoke
with Verity about how people can have better relationships.
We have continued to host several online events of our own,
including an open webinar about relational capability, themed
Lunch & Learn sessions, and RPC coordinator networking events
for local authorities who license our resources.

4. Consolidate the public-facing and professional websites into a single,
cohesive online platform to effectively serve the diverse needs of the
charity's Stakeholders.
This unified website will enhance user experience, streamline access to information
and resources. and strengthen our brand identity.
Starting point
We started the year with a thorough evaluation of our digital platforms. User research showed
that 67°A of people struggled to find what they were looking for on our website, and 57 % found the
navigation confusing. Our Click community platform was costing £2.520 annually while suffering
from security issues and technical problems that made it increasingly difficult to maintain.
The team approach
Our first Miro workshop in 2024 focused on Click and gave us the answers we needed. This kicked
off our digital strategy. We conducted content and UX workshops, combining heatmaps, feedback
surveys, recorded sessions, stakeholder interviews, heuristic evaluation, competitor analysis, and
UX teardowns with analytics from tools like Hotjar and GA4 to understand where people were
getting stuck. The Separating better app retrospective helped us identify what worked well in
project delivery and areas for future development.
Our core priorities
Four main goals guided our work through 2025, with our future focus on putting foundations in
place for our growth strategy:
1. A modern, scalable website (2025-2026). Creating a digital hub that works properly on mobile
devices, meets accessibility standards. and provides clear pathways for parents. professionals.
funders, and partners to find what they need.
2. A flexible community platform (2025-2027). Replacing Click with Circle to create secure
spaces where people can connect, share experiences, and access peer support.
3. Content-led proof of concept (2025-2027). Testing different ways to reach people through
social media, podcasts, and blogs while building our reputation and demonstrating impact
without relying on advertising spend.
4. Separating better app development (2026-2027 and beyond). Supporting and improving our
flagship app through new UX projects. reviewing userjourneys, and refreshing the look and feel.
Working with our development agency Holdens and exploring partnerships to help maintain
costs and general upkeep.
What we're building
We're replacing Click with Circle, a more secure and flexible community platform, and building
a new website using Webflow. The new site is designed to work properly on mobile phones and
meets accessibility standards. We now have an integrated set of tools including Webflow, Circle,
Thinkific, Stripe, and analytics platforms. These work together and cost less to run than our
previous setup.

20 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
Building our digital marketing capabilities
We're developing in-house digital marketing expertise, including developing a dedicated social
media creator role and leaning into community management for the future. We're working to
get the whole digital team aligned into one pipeline that fits our digital marketing efforts across
platforms. Professional video content, including interviews with trustees in their workplace
settings, will provide social proof and credibility to attract new partners, course participants, and
community members.
Our digital channels, website, social media, and community platform are being designed as part
of a wider growth strategy. This approach will help us secure support for maintaining our apps,
investing in advertising, and expanding our reach. Our goal is for.getting on better" to be talked
about with the same magnitude as physical fitness and mental wellbeing.
Looking ahead
We are aiming to launch our minimum viable product (MVP) website in December 2025, with more
to be added throughout 2026. We're also planning to develop our digital marketing capabilities
and exploring partnerships to find support for our work. These improvements give us a stronger
foundation for reaching our target audiences and user groups.
The goal is straightforward: make it easier foi users to find what they need and help them get on

literature reviews, and the evaluation of our own resources. It is an important priority for us to

resources in line with new evidence and best practice while also focusing on impact dissemination.
By maintaining this excellent standard, we can be assured that we are only working with the newest
and most relevant information.
Aim4
Disseminate the latest evidence and relationships know-how to influence policymakers. Our hope
is that this will allow us to create a stronger narrative for the public around the importance of
healthy and strong relationships for quality of life and societal health. We will achieve this through
increasing the profile and influence of OnePlusOne with key decision makers and influencers,
running social media campaigns, attending and speaking at events to share our learning, speaking
on podcasts. and so much more.
Success criteria
As we work towards these aims, we will measure our success on a range of criteria"

Financial review
The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 34 and the
financial position is shown in the Balance Sheet on page 35. In 2024-2025 a surplus of £21 Ok
(£337k surplus 2023-2024) was recorded. a continuation of the improvement in profitability.
Reserves policy
It is the Trustees, general view that the desirable level of immediately available unrestricted
reserves is three months, operating costs. This ensures the charity can cashflow its activities
without recourse to drawing on longer term cash deposits if there are delays in payment from
funders or clients, and allows current activities to continue in the short term. Three months,
operating costs during 2024-25 averaged £270k and the balance held on instant access with
Lloyds Bank PIC was £276k at the year end. Trustees regularly review the reserves policy and
continue to maintain this position at 31 March 2025.
Reserves which may be applied at the discretion of trustees comprised of the general fund,
expendable endowment, and funds designated by trustees, totalling £973k.
Reserves designated for development and delivery of services and the general fund total £836k,
with a further £136k available at trustees, discretion held as the expendable endowment. Trustees
go beyond reviewing the level of reserves by regularly reviewing the cashflow forecast and
measuring against actuals to ensure any anomalies or cash-related pressure are quickly identified
and resolved.
Principal funding sources
The charity s main sources of funding are detailed in the table below=
OnePlusOne was awarded grant funding via a Challenge Fund from the Department for Work
and Pensions (England) for a digital intervention test and learn project to run from June 2023 to

24 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
Additionally, we are enhancing our website and communications to ensure we are recognised as
the go-to provider for people seeking relationship support.
We are focused on engaging government departments in the societal benefits of healthy good
quality relationships. We will engage ministers across Department for Work and Pensions,
Department for Education. and Ministry of Justice to encourage cross-government approaches
to funding relationship support. As well as this national focus, we will continue to engage local
authorities and work with them to deliver their Reducing Parental Conflict directive to March 2026
while there is still a commitment from government.
Risk statement
The trustees consider the risks to the charity on a regular basis, particularly those related to the
governance and management, operations, and finances of the charity. Risks are identified and
assessed for their likelihood and their impact on both reputation and finances. Systems are in
place for mitigation and their efficacy is reviewed by the CEO. finance manager. and trustees.
Risk at 31 March 2025
1. DWP commitment to funding
relationship support continues to
be uncertain, beyond March 2026.
There is a risk that government
commitment to relationship support
will fall between stools and it will not
be picked up by any department in
March 2026.
Actions to mitigate
Central government have been committed to
supporting relationships within the UK since the
1970s, irrespective of which party is leading.
OnePlusOne remains a member of the Relationships
Alliance which is continuing to work to affect policy at
this time of change. OnePlusOne have engaged and
written to ministers across DWP. DfE. MOJ. and the
Children's Commissioner to highlight the risk, as well
as engaging ministers in the House of Lords.
2. Difficulty gaining traction with our
Relational leaders product in new
market.
OnePlusOne will target intermediary training providers
and universities looking at adding the two specialist
training products to courses such as Business and
Social Work. In addition OnePlusOne will be working
with Family Hubs providers strategically with a view to
embedding the training.
3. Implementation of new website
and content could face delays or
roadblocks potentially impacting the
brand of OnePlusOne.
Regular reviews of project roadmaps and work
schedules are held within the operations and UX
team. This enables potential issue to be raised and
resolved without unnecessarily delays. Highlighting
new challenges early ensures the correct software and
coding support can be brought in sufficiently early.

Report of the independent auditors
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research (the
'charitable company,) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial
Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cashflows 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities
SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) .
In our opinion the financial statements-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March
2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and
expenditure, 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 Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditors,
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent
of the charitable company 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 have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern
basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed. we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable
company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when
the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are
described in the relevant sections of this report.

31 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report. other than the financial statements and our Report of
the Independent Auditors 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in
the financial statements or a material misstament of the other information. 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.
Opinions 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 Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

obtained in the course of the audit. we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of
the Trustees.

certain disclosures of trustees. remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

32 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
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.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable
company 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to
do so.
Our 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 a Report of
the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is
detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity
and the sector in which they operate.
We obtained an understanding of how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory
frameworks by making enquires of management
We assessed the susceptibility of the charities. financial statements to material misstatement,
including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team
included:
1. Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in
place to prevent and detect fraud
2. Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the
potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial
reporting process
3. Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its accounting
estimates
4. Identifying and testing joumal entries. in particular any journal entries posted with
unusual account combinations;
and
5. Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant law and regulations.

33 Annual Report and Accounts 2024-25 One Plus One Marriage & Partnership Research
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 instances 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.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This
description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees. as a body. in accordance with
Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the charitable company s trustees those matters we are required to state to them
in an auditors, 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 charitable company and the charitable
company's trustees as a body, for our audit worK for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.
