ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In 2025, Anxiety UK continued to operate in a challenging external environment, shaped by ongoing financial pressures, changing patterns of service demand, and a rapidly evolving digital and therapeutic landscape. At the same time, the charity made good progress against a number of its key organisational targets, including strengthening peer support, enhancing membership engagement, improving quality monitoring, widening access to therapy and support, and developing new partnerships and communications activity.

Work took place throughout the year to develop quality assurance and service evaluation alongside delivery of a revised annual membership survey and wider monitoring and evaluation activity, resulting in the introduction of an operational performance and quality dashboard to support the measurement of satisfaction and outcomes across key areas of the charity.

Substantial progress was also made in regard to developing the peer support offer available. In May 2025, new themed peer-led anxiety support groups were launched and continued on a monthly basis, facilitated by Anxiety UK staff. These groups have been well attended and capacity was increased during the year in response to demand. This area of work is expected to be developed further in the coming year under the broader banner of 'conversations about anxiety'.

Membership engagement activity became increasingly data-led during the year. Progress included the development of a member promotional calendar featuring regular offers, the expansion of member services including podcasts, webinars and self-help groups, and increased member communications through monthly digital updates and the launch of the monthly, And Relax… digital magazine. Considerable work was also undertaken to improve email deliverability and increase open rates, helping to ensure that communications reached members effectively.

Progress was also made in increasing access to therapy and support services. The therapy booking process was overhauled to make it easier and simpler for people to access support, one new partnership was secured, and website content relating to partnership enquiries was updated to support more effective management of expressions of interest. The charity's talking therapy service continued to support many individuals requiring 1:1 support with anxiety through making therapies such as CBT, counselling and EMDR accessible. Additionally, therapist-led anxiety management courses also continued to be delivered throughout the year.

In financial terms, the charity, while continuing to operate in a difficult environment, succeeded in substantially reducing its operating deficit through active cost control measures and renegotiation of supplier arrangements. Following the retirement of a long-standing member of staff, communications and other responsibilities were successfully absorbed by members of the staff team. Work also continued to improve organisational systems and efficiency, including process automation where appropriate and the careful use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within internal operations. Two student cohorts from the Practera initiative also supported work during the year to improve the charity's website accessibility and social media presence.

Throughout the year, Anxiety UK continued to strengthen its strategic relationships and public-facing activity. New links were developed with a range of organisations, while the charity continued its leadership role within the Global Anxiety Alliance. Collaboration with external researchers in the UK and internationally also remained strong, with Anxiety UK contributing to advisory groups, recruitment activity, dissemination work and a wide range of research-related initiatives in order to support anxiety research.

Throughout the year, Anxiety UK also provided a broad programme of information, training and awareness activity. This included a range of webinars for members on topics such as 'menopause and anxiety', 'current anxiety research projects' and a special webinar on 'NHS services for those with anxiety'. A range of factsheets and information resources were also developed; specifically, new resources on 'neurodiversity and anxiety' as well as fact-sheets on 'Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours - BFRBs' such as Compulsive Skin Picking Disorder and Compulsive Nail Biting. Anxiety UK's successful podcast series continued with podcasts covering a wide range of topics, including thoughts about suicide and anxiety, anxiety and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), living with health anxiety, extended reality-based therapy for anxiety, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and misophonia and its links with anxiety.

ANXIETY UK

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The charity also delivered a range of training events for external organisations as well as participating in media engagement and consultation activities, to raise awareness of anxiety disorders..

Across all of its work, and in keeping with being an organisation that is run by and for people with anxiety, Anxiety UK continued to embed lived experience, involving individuals affected by anxiety via its national participation group, in service review and delivery, media and communications work, research activity and the testing of potential new support offers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As detailed above, economic hardship persisted in 2025, it had a profound impact on both individuals and organisations, leading to a decrease in disposable income and a subsequent reduction in charitable donations and fundraising efforts. Consequently, the charity faced significant financial challenges, experiencing declines across various revenue streams. This included a decrease in membership, direct donations, partnership activities, training, and sales of resources such as books and self-help materials. Simultaneously, the organisation encountered increased overhead costs due to higher service prices, a common challenge faced by many entities. Ultimately, these factors contributed to a financial loss of £17,508 for the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANXIETY UK

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Anxiety UK ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Details of these judgements can be found in the accounting policies.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Improvements to property - 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 20% on reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is credited or charged to the income statement.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

At each reporting end date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its cost and net realisable value is recognised as an impairment loss in the income statement. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in the income statement.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Going concern

After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Investments

Investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. They are initially valued at cost and subsequently valued at each reporting date by reference to quoted prices readily available from the investment fund.
