Image and Pregnancy Helpline Structure, governance and management Im(Jge was founded in Manchester in December 1990 and launched its first Pregnancy Helpline service across Tameside in 1994, networking with 6 churches who were opening pregnancy centres. In May 2000, as our reach had extended across Greater Manchester and demand for our training was growing nationwide, it was decided to apply for charitable statu5. Imoge was constituted by a Declaration of Trust dated 16th July 2001 and became a registered charity on 25th September 2001 (originally under charity number.. 10885731. Due to the expansion of work for the Pregnancy Helpline across Greater Manchester, the charity was incorporated as a charitable company under the Company Registration No.. 07480065 on 30th December 2010 and is currently governed by a Memorandum of Articles and Association dated 22nd December 2010. Funds were transferred to the new registered charity renamed "imoge and Pregnancy Helpline", under a new Charity Reg. No- 1141832 on 24th October 2011. As a registered charity and a limited company, the current Directors select and appoint new Directors, who are also appointed Trustees of the charity. During the year, 3 experienced Trustees and Directors continued to Serve in a voluntary capacity to oversee a small but dedicated management team of 4 part- time paid staff and a wider team of volunteers, which grew from 22 to 31 this year- 15 volunteer helpers and 16 volunteer trainers. We recogni5e the need to recruit more Trustees/Directors in the coming year. We are preparing new Trustee/Director induction arid refresher training. based on recommended publications and video material from the Charity Commission and Charity Excellence, as part of a strategic review of our work dufinE 2025. We were grateful to receive odditional support from a pro bono charity consultant, who provided governance and strategy advice, fundraising training and mentoring support. As part of reviewing and strengthening our governance and financial processes, the TrusteeslDirector5 appointed McKellens Ltd Chartered Accountants to assist in preparing our annual accounts in compliance with the latest SORP 2019 IFRS1021 regulations and amending last year's accounts to show comparative accounts as required. nd We signed a partnership agreement with a national charity called Pregnancy Crisis Helpline on 2 july 2024. This involved a lot of work in discussing and agreeing suitable policies and procedures, risk assessing all areas of the proposed partnership, volunteer training and preparing for replacing our telephone and online call equipment with the new Pregnaricy Crisis Helpline system. The Tru5tees/Directors are mindful of the additional reputational risks of working with other partner5 and for this reason image remains a separate legal entity with a separate Board of Trustees/Directors. There is no additional linancial or legal commitment, and our staff and volunteers remain under the management and supervision of image. Each party has the right to withdraw from this partnership if desired. Page 4
Image and Pregnancy Helpline Objectives and Activities We are in the process of strategically reviewing our charitable aims, legal structure, achvities, fundraising and communications to align with our new collaboration with the national Pregnancy Crisis Helpline. During 2024, the Tru5tees/Directors reviewed the charitable objects from our Memorandum of Arhcles and Association. We decided to seek permission from the Charity Commission and Companies House to simplify the wording of these to better reflect our current charitable objective5 and artivities. Our Charitable Objects: as amended by Special Resolution and registered with both the Charity Commission and Companies House on 8 May 2024 are.. a. To preserve and protect the good health both mental and physical of those in pregnancy crisis or with pregnancy loss. b. To relieve the poverty, sickness and distress of those who are pregnant or suffering with pregnancy loss, including termination, miscarriage, baby loss or separation. c. To promote education and research in the subject of pregnancy and termination of pregnancy and into Its effects, whether physical, medical, psychological or social. d. To promote the Christian faith, in particular the value of all people from beginning to end, by providing training, education and services. Mlssion statement: To provide a compassionate Christian response to abortion and to resource the church in this area. Vision: To see a widespread Christian response to abortion in the UK that includes compassionate support for those considering or affected by aborhon. Activities: The Trustees confirm that they have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011 and are satisfied that our activities are in full alignment with our charitable purposes and with good counselling practice, as recommended by The Association of Christian Counselling and Linked Professions. Our main actlvitles thls year were: imoge Pregnancy Helpline & new National Helpline- offering a compa55ionate response to those considering or affected by abortion or child Ioss, through local and national helpline support, online or face to face counselling. 2. Image Training - providing training courses in pregnancy crisi5 and post abortion counsellinE and Training Trainers courses. image Family Services providing practical support for new mother5 and local families on low income or with No Recourse to Public Funds. Values and Christian Ethos: We are called 'image' because this reflects our core belief.. that every person is made in the image of God and so has a life of value, whether old, young, only just conceived, disabled or dying. Hence, we have the strapline: -values people from beginning to end". This core belief also underpins our practice, since we aim to extend the love of God to all our service users, whatever their background or beliefs. by providing unconditional acceptance, agreed time and space, and appropriate silPPOrt.

Image and Pregnancy Helpline Over the past 35 years, we have continued to provide a safe and non-judgmental counselling space for the many diverse faith communities across Greater Manchester, as well as people of no faith, offering a listening ear and practical help to women and families in moments of crisis and distress. We have always done this without judgement and without imposing our own faith, to ensure good counselling practice is maintained in a safe and non-threatening space. Image works with a transparent set of aims, values and website information and we have never attempted to conceal our Christian ethos or mislead the public about the difficulties women may face when they consider a pregnancy crisis, abortion or adoption decision. WÈ hold a world view that has been held by many people throughout history and across different religions and culture5- a belief that the life of any man, woman or child has inherent value and dignity, because all human life is made in the image of God. This is still a concern that some women wrestle with as they face a difficult pregnanry, and it remains a core value that may be strongly held by some people, even if they do not consider themselves a person of faith. We do not refer people for aborknon- legally this must be done by 2 medical doctors and information is readily available through the NHS. We do not seek to delay or manipulate a woman's decision and we often do not know the outcome of their final decision. We do not make any money or commission from providing pregnancy crisis or post abortion counselling. We receive no government or NHS funding and therefore consider that we offer a truly independent, faith-based, listening service which simply gives women a safe space to talk and reflect on a dilemma that may be causing them considerable distress, or to recover from a previoL*S experience of loss that they may not have been able to come to terms with. "It's helped me to see what s going on in my heod ond heort. Heort wunt5 to keep b(yby and my heod is telling me the reol challenge5.

Image and Pregnancy Helpllne Achievements and Performance Over the past 35 years, image has supported over 5,000 women, pmviding a safe space to think through next steps in a preEnancy crisis or helping them to come to terms with a pregnancy loss. We have pioneered quality pregnancy counselling and post abortion training and developed a wealth of experience in running a pregnancy helpline in Greater Manchester. This experhse has been invaluable to the national Pregnancy Crisis Helpline in establishing robust policie5 and procedures. l. imoge Pregnancy Helpline & new National Helpline In the past year, our Manchester-based pregnancy helpline continued to run throughout the year, in addition to imoge trained helpers taking calls on the national Pregnancy Crisis Helpline. This has extended the geographical reach of our support for pregnancy crisis, post-aborhon and child 1055 to national level in line with our vision and mission statement. Image was asked to provide additional trained helpers and further training for the national Pregnancy Crisis Helpline, a5 they did not have enough trained helpers to answer the volume of calls they were receiving during 2023. We assisted in recruiting and training a further 13 people in 2024. Rebecca Johnson continued to lead the substantial amount of work involved in preparing to merge our local Manchester helpline with the national helpline. It is hoped that the new call system equipment provided by Pregnancy Crisi5 Helpline will enable call capacity to increase, as multiple calls can be taken at the same time and online webchat and emails can also be securely tracked in the system, whereas our previous system could only accept one phone caller at a time. Our trained helpers take shifts on a planned rota system, answering calls, texts and emails every evening from 7pm - 10pm and 10am - 2pm in term time. Each trained helper makes it clear to the client at the Start of the call which centre they are from. They make referrals to other centres or services as needed and image also receives referrals from centres in other location5, 50 that callers can access further support in person from their nearest local centre if they wish. In totsl, we received 247 helpline calls this year: 65% pregnancy related1155 clients) 20% post-abortion {47 clients) 3% miscarriage, stillbirth, child separation17 clients) 16% other138 other contacts) The total number of calls was slightly lower than last year12023.' 259 calls) which was mainly due to reducing adverhsing for both the Manchester and national helplines while new training in policies, procedures and safeguarding was rolled out across all parhes involved in the national helpline. 12 clients were allocated to an image helper for further support, totalling 95 additional sessions either in person or online. We continued to run our own sUPPOrt programme for pregnancy losses called "Step by Step" We received consistently positive feedback from service users across all our services.. "I hoven't been oble to talk to unyone else about this- so grateful to tt71k it through." Helpline caller 'Enobled me to tolkfreely about myfeelings and the problems my choices presented to me without judgment. I was able to accept and understand ond express my emotion5 safely." Post-aborknon client "The conversation hos helped me look (Jt pros and con5, gain5 und10sse5 Wlth each option- thank you." Pregnancy crisis client Page 7
Image and Pregnancy Helpline 2. image Training Imoge normally runs two training courses every year.. one in Pregnancy Counselling Skills and the other in CounsellinE Skills for Post-Abortron/Child L05s. Both courses are recognised by Open Award5 and bv the A550ciation of Christian Counsellors and Linked Professions. We have been running courses for over 25 years with regularly updated material and external quality review5. Since the pandemic all imoge courses are delivered online by a team of tutors from across the country, as we found this model of training delivery is much more accessible and cost effective for both trainees and tutors. This year Open Awards, together with the image Training Coordinator, reviewed the assessment criteria for both courses. We decided to update the Post-Aborknon/Child Loss course material, so did not run thi5 course in the autumn, to give time for the trainers to complete the revision. However, we developed a new course to train role play observers and delivered this in the autumn of 2024 to 5 people who have now joined imoge and strengthened our training team. We ran the Pregnancy Counselling Skills Course from 22 March to 13 July 2024 and 13 trainees from different parts of the UK completed it successfully. Feedback from trainees demonstrates the benefits of the course and the quality of our accredited training provi5ion= "The home leorning videos were very helpful and informotive, and the exercises were good preparotion for the sessNon." "Just a big thank youl I have thoroughly enjoyed the course und have learnt so much. Grutefulfor all the time and effort put in by the team- the space you cultivated was (J wurm and safe place to leorn about this topic ond osk honest questions." "The role ployfelt very proctical and Wos helpful to work through." 3. image Family Servlces This service supplies practical and emotional support for local families with children under 5 to relieve poverty and hardship in Greater Manchester, especially for mothers with No Recourse to Public Funds or very limited income. Professionals such as midwives, health visitors and 5UPPOrt workers from other charities refer clients into the service by appointment. Self-referral is also possible. This year image has been able to support 24 families on an ongoing basis with 127 bags of donated baby clothes, items of baby equipment and emotional support. We are limited by the size and location of the storage room available at our offices, but we are looking fr>r ways to develop this Service in new way5 next year to support more local families. We are grateful for all the donated goods received this year.

Image and Pregnancy Helpline Financial Review Image's expenditure for the year was £55,205. slightly higher than last year12023.' £52,593) due mainly to inflationary pressures and additional activity connected to the new national helpline. Our income increased to £48,743, up from £35,504 in 2023. We started the year with an opening balance of £19,21412023.. £36,304) and ended with £12,75212023: £19.2141, substantially reducing last year's deficit to £6,46212023'. £17,089). We still have some way to go to build our reserves to the minimum target level of £12,000 agreed last year. The TrusteeslDirectors have taken prudent steps to reduce expenditure on our office overheads in the coming year and will continue to put robust plans in place to increase income in 2025-26. Historically, our work has been sustained mainly by regular giving from local Christian supporters and churches in the Manchester area and we greatly appreciate their faithful sUPPOrt of our work. We have implemented a schedule of talks in Manchester churches to raise both our profile and support, which will continue in the coming year. We started to plan for making more grant applications in 2025 and we are also planning a fundraising event to mark our 35 anniversary. We are grateful to the team at Choices Counselling Buxton, a neighbouring pregnancy centre which requested to merge their services Wlth ours, generously gifting us a closing gift of £9,794.81 in May 2024 as they wound up their registered charity. Reserves Policy Im(Jges reserve policy was reviewed by the trustees last year. It was agreed that we would aim to maintain our general reserves at no less than £12,000 which represents around 3 months, core running costs. This is to ensure that we can cover immediate salary and rental commitments as well as allow for redundancy payment5 in the event of unexpected closure. At the end of the financial year. our cash reserves were standing slightly below this figure at £10,936, but had incre35ed to £13,107 by the end of july 2025. Declaratlons The Trustees/Directors are keeping the financial reserves level under monthly review but as we have implemented new fundraising strategies and cost saving measures to rejuvenate our linances, we are confident that image remains a going concern and accounts have been prepared accordingly. The charity does not hold custodian funds on behalf of another organi5ation. All staff and helpline volunteers complete ongoing safeguarding training in line with our safeguarding policy and are DBS checked. There have been no safeguarding ISSUÈS to report thi5 year, no fundraising complaints and no serious incidents to report. The Trustees/Directors are aware of the Charity Commission requirement to carry out regular risk assessment and monitoring of risks and issues. They conlirm they have complied with their dutie5 and implemented mitigating and corrective actions where necessary. Page 9
Image and Pregnancy Helpline Plans for next year In the coming year, we intend to continue and strengthen our services, building our capacity to serve the communities of Greater Manchester and beyond. Specific objectives include- 11 Recruiting and inducting at least 2 new Tru5teeslDirector5. 21 Continuing a thorough strategic review of our governance, operations, financial and fundraising management, office use and project activities, to strengthen financial resilience and sustainability. 31 Reviewing and refreshing our communications strategy. logo and website to reflect the change in our pregnancy helpline service delivery.
