Governance and Management The Charity was incorporated as a company liTted by guarantee on 2 November 2011 (company number 07832678) and obtained charitsble status on 29 November 2011 (Charity number 1144855). The Charity is a limited company by guarantee. In the event of the company being wound up. the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to llo per member. Appointment of Trustees is governed by the Memorandum and Articles ol A55(latiOn. Objectives and Activities There were no changes to our charitable aims and objectives in the last twelve months. Per OUT registry at the Charity CoMmii0n. we aim to advance the overall education of the public in the field of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV and other sexually transmitted inEections, as well as other communicable diseases, primarily in the United Kingdom and further inteniationally. Whtle our goals permit us to operate broadly* we remain particularly focused on Htv and BBVS. "To advance the education of the public in the preventiory diagn05i5 and treatment of HIV and other blood-borne viruses. sexually transmitted infections, and communicable diseases, particularly those transmitted virally; and the promotion of conttnuing medical research in the prevention, diagnosis. treatment and physical and psychological Telief of people affected by those same conditions.. UKHSA Respiratory Virus Surveillance 2024-5 saw us reach the half-way point a five-year peri(xl of work with UKHSA on respiratory virus surveillan. We have undertaken thi5 work in partnership with UKHSA and RCGP since 2020, and won an open tender during 2(Y22-3 to contAnue to provide this work. During the present period. the Kope and range of this project has increased. to include FFX incident response and to account for a significant and sustained increase in testins volumes. Much of 2024-5 was spent designing and working on this demanding project. with the offeT now ready to respond to novel pathogens as required. We continue to enjoy extremely giK)d working relationships Wkth the convnissioner. attending regular meetings with the operational group onIine and in person at UKHSA and Oxford's Nuffield Departnnt of Primary Care Health kiences, where the Research and Surveillance Centre is presently based. We continue to work with colleagues to enhance the quality and seope of respiratory viru5 surveillan. and the use of self-sampling in achieving this. 2024-5 Saw a shift in testing laboratory on the project from UKHSA Colindale to UKHSA Bristol. this involved considerable work by the operational te for which the Charity has been fully reimbuT5ed. The income on this project is a mix of regular service fees, per-kit income generated by volume. and one-off fees where additional bespoke work is required. During this period, we also took on responsibility for sourcing kit components and Royal Mail Tracked 24 return postage for this project; these costs are reimbursed at the end of each financial year {April-April) via reconaIiation.
Pase 3 SAVING LIVES COMPANY LIMTfED BY GUARANfEE TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIREcfoR'S REPORT) (COlINr) YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025 UKHSA Respiratory Virus Surveillance (rvlltimied) We have also worked alongside the Research and Surveillance Centre to increase sampling rates - 2024-5 saw the busiest weeks of our involvement with this project (since 2020), with upwards of 500 kits ordered per week at peak periods. The additional workload has been supported by Thomas Hayes (engagement and health promotion) and Julie Sheridan (Tesults management and health advice). who have taken on additional responsibdities for this proiect alongside Dan Hartland and Mark Simp50n. This five-year contract wa5 renewable after the rst two years, and this extension was granted very smoothly. A second extension will take place at the end of year four, in July 2027. Peer Support In 20134. Savin8 lives added Birniin8ham Positive Peers as a Subsidiary, signing a letter OE recognition and engagement with its founder and manager, Rachel Greaves. Rachel is known to us through extensive aFworking over many years, on projects such a5 the Heartlands Patient Fornm and the Birniingham AIDS & HIV Memorial. She has also been a long-terni Saving Lives Ambassador. We began to build the peer support service outwards immedxately, offering Rachel an hourly rate to lead the development and meeting all experLses for training a regional cohort of mentors. We have also taken a lease on a small office in the Jewellery Quarter. All this resulted in an increase of Rachel's team from 3 to 25 volunteer ntorS. All these costs were met through existing charity fimds, with a view to being in a position to bid for a range of contracts in the West Midlands. Eeginning with Birniingham itself, that were due to be granted funding dirertly from NHS England as part of the rollout of ED opt-out testing in the region. In 2024-5. we were conunissioned by Ix)th University Hospitals Birmingham and the IntegTated Care BoaTd of the Black Country to deliver peer support services across four Birmingham cites and Services in Walsall. wolverhampto Sandwell and Dudley. Much OE the early period of the year was spent buildins the necessary relationships. and putttng Èn place referral strncture5 which were Often very different from site to site. The commissioning agreements aTe for two years and stretch across 202L5 into 202. Total funding from the two regions across two years is Q65.734, of which half was invoiced in 2024-5 (with £67 received; the other £61.( was received shortly after the close of the accounting year). Feedback and progress has been very positive throughout 2024k5 on this strand, and we look forward to continuing to develop and expand the offering. It has been confirmed that the funding ICBS and Trusts receive for this work has i1 renewed for a further three years Erom 207. we await the opportunity for our contracts to iE renewed or extended.

ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIREcfoR'S REPORT) I (vntinued) YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2015 TakeATestUK and FreeTestUK Trustees will recall that our self-sampling activity has historically EEen broken into three distinct arll. Testing as a commercial service via FreeTestUK to NHS and other healthcare providers seeking to offer home self-sampling powered by digital technolosy. Management of and participation in a research projects which investigate or require self_sampling provision. The 'customer-facing" TakeATestUK website enables "retail" purchases for end users and awareness-raising activities, which can olfer free kits for a range of individuals and as part of various campaigns. We do not currentIy undertake any activity related to items two and three OE this list, although some research payments arrived with the Charity thxs year having been owed from the prior period. Work in category l is now also very limited - only the Hepatitis C Trust remains with us. Our UKHSA contract also utilises the TATUK system. The self-sampling market has significantly matured Sin we fArst entered it, and demand is both Teduced and more f(used. Saving Lives continues to specialise in small-scale programmes or open lenders. while most commissAoning is currently undertaken via procurement franwOrkS. This has now the situation for Some years, with little movement. Nevertheless. the Charity has pivoted to utilise TakeATestUK's infrastrncture lor specific proiects which enabIe it to remain a going concern. tn addition to the UKHSA work. an expected commission from Birniingham City Council to deliver enhanced BBV testing in collaboration with the aty's NHS TB outreach tea while initially expected for 2024-5. will now commence in 202M. Our TATUK system will FE essential to the delivery of this programme, which will bring with it an estimated £63,425 of funding. Our TATUK work has also fostered an extremeEy productive and integrated partnership with Fit systen, whose MD. Mark Simpson. has been a&si8ned a Saving Lives ernaii account. Mark provides us with all aspects of rr development and desi8n* working especially closely with us on the UKHSA contract. We have also engaged him to work on developing systems to enhance and improve our peer support stream. Whxle reduced. then. our TATUK offering remains central to our wider capacities.

Saving IAves has also undertaken a range of proFects across 2024-5: Operating as key partner of Birniin8ham Fast Track Citie5+, sitting on its steering comniittee and taking a career role as a sponsor and organiser of a cr05Svcity stakeholder conference in Novemkr. In this role the Charity has established itself as the leading voice of the Birniingham voluntary sector in HIV/BBVs. Our patrons, Lord Philip Hunt and Professor Jane Anderson. delivered the keynotes to the November conference - and leamin8s from the day centred on the twin challenges of testlng and stigma. This represents key input into PKJlicy and implementation in our home aty. World AEDS Day and 'artivisim'. We supported throughout the year Birniingham's preparations for World AtDS Day. which resulted in a day characterised by two major exhibition of artwork. at the Library of Binningham and National Trust Back-tO-Backs, and partnering wÉth l(Kal organisations Art Thou OK. Bab7 to pnxluce a dance presentation at Birniingham Hipp(Klrome. We have also continued to support Beyond Positive. the long-standing organisation managed by our Trustee Thomas Hayes, with an aim to establith itself as an inforniation and new5 resource for the HIV conununity.

Financial Review Financial Summary The Charity has posted a surplus for the second year in a row. even when excluding unspent allocated fundins. Operationally the Charity is in a sustainable position. having diversified income streams and taken action to control. reduce and rationalise expenditures where po&sible. This has IEen achieved at a time when the gap between income and expenditure acr(yss the charity sectOT has been shrinking - to its lowest level in five years in 20134. according to the Charity Commissio The TnteeS are agreed that Lt is prudent for the Charity to continue to spend wisely and continue to buiId a reserve in order to offer it some security and protection in future. The Trustees are also conscious that some of the Charity's surplus consists OE allocated funds awaitlng appropriate projects. and therefore consider the present remainder not as funds to be spent immediately but as a contribution to the Charity's long-term resi]ience. Plans for Future Periods Future Plans & Goals The Trn5tees agreed at their last meeting that 20134 had represented a promising achievement - a surplus was posted. and the FK)sition was promising. Elle caution was rightly expressed as to the sustainability of this N)sitio and continued care with conimitments and expenditures agreed. 202¥5 has akn seen a surplus posted, and signrficant new workstreams opened up. This is promisin& and is suggestive of underlying sustainability. Our flexible m(xlel is enabling us to deliver services, meet our costs. and fund discrete charitable activity. We have also grown £T reserves.

ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIREcfoR'S REPORT) (cwitinvwd) YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025 Plans for Future Periods Future Plans & Goals (cotined) Specifically, the TakeATestUK system has proven itseIf again an excellent investment for the ChaTity, which _ while involving SIIf1Cant overheads. including server space and data hostin& and despite the nature of the testing work being undertaken having shifted in recent years- continues to generate income in excess its operating costs. Launching the peer support service has Ewi a very positive experience for the Charity. The partnership with Positive Peer5 has proved extremely productive. and Saving lives handles all contracting and fund-holding on the project: governan and oversight has also been enhanced via this partnership. and conversations with other peer support services nationwide are ongoing. There is ample room for growth and disbursement wtthin this workstreanL and the Charity is extreniely proud to have supported more than l(K) individuals in its first year of provision. We should continue to consider our charitable projects. The Ribbons Legacy and Art Thou OK. Bab?

We can enter 2025-6 with an eye on modest expansion. some additional charitable and promotioiul work, and continued development of EK)th our peer support and seif-samplins testing.
