We Are Survivors Trustees, Report Achievements and performaDce We began this year with a monumental change, our name. Moving from Survivors Manchester to We Are Survivors vvas & long process in which us as Trustees took a co-production approach to the research and design, resulting in a name that iiispires, says exactly who we are and helps us move forward to meet the needs of as many male survivors as possible. The new branding and identity was so carefully ¢rafted by one of our communications team. Grahame, and with the support of our tirst ever Apprentice, Theo, in his rol¢ of Digital Content Creator we raised the profile and issue of male survivors more than ever, something we are a]1 proud ot.. We also opened a neiv space, providing more staff working area and far more Client groupwork ar¢a too, along with a new space to give victims the opportunity to undertake their Police interview in a safelnon-police setting. With & new name, a new brand, it gave us the opportunity to think mor¢ about our purpos¢. how we carry out our work and what our culture is. We know this is just the start of a journey for the next few years but we're all confident this is the right road for us to go down. We have spent much of the first half of the year gecting all the structures lightened and thanks lo our investment in our central operations team, our Senior Data Analysts, Sam and NiLk, were able to use th¢ir knowledge from their professional developmenc courses to pi'ovide us ivith a brand neiv Risk Register Dashboard and improve the processe5 of coll¢cting and reporting on the knowledge and data we collect. As a Board we have also asked ourselves what it is (hat we ivant and need from the collected knowledge and our sub-groups (Finance, People, Risk) have been an invaluable tool for our checks and balances. People hav¢ always been our bigg¢5t asset at We Are Survivors and it is important for us to ensure that we suppoit individuals to onboard, for staff members to progress through the organisation, and when its time to help th¢m on their way as they go on to new advenlures and opportunities in other areas of life. Our Expert Reference Group is a wonderful example of a journey in healing, as all members have used OUT services at some point and now they are giving back, helping us navigate space to know what is the right thing lo do that will best benefit male survivors. As volunteers, thLy give their time, experience and knowlcdge to us and arc an incredibl¢ part of our family. So, it came as a huge ovenvheltning loss to us all when in Jun¢ 2023, one of the members, Michael. was involved in a serious accident and tragically we lost him. Everyone (hat ever met Mick would be blown away by hi5 smile, his ability to cut through the waftle, and his honesty about his hcaling from childhood sexual abuse and the mistake5 he has made in life on the way were inspiring. He will always be in our hearts and our work in the Community with prison leavers will always be dedicated to him. Page 4
We Are Survivors Trustees, Report Achievements and Perforniance (continued) Our work in prisons to really get a head start on helping young men in the ¢state slep onto the right path was showcased with our work in HMP Deerboli, led by our Criminal Justice Services Director and in association with ARCH North Ettst. We are incredibly proud of the outcome and the report that we published on the project. We also were successful in our bid to take our OUT Spoken servi¢¢ into a more sustainable position over the next 5 7 years. We also began a new 'Pathfinder' project this year with the NHS in developing a service ihat will literally support an individual survivor to find the right path for him in mental heth servi¢¢s. As a two year pilot we are confident that we will be able to prove this as a national need. Every Lharily needs a strong leader and our Chief Executiv¢ Officer has been fo¢using a lol this year on leading the development of our staff. The staff survey 2023 was completed by 88 % of staff, who responded 950/0 Positively (which is l % up on lasi year and l % down on responses that were neutral, with negative responses remaining at 20/0). 100 /0 of respondents were proud to work for We Are Survivors with 88 /0 Stating they would recommend We Are Survivors as a great place to work and 620/0 (+1 0/0 on 2022) thought they'd be here still in two years, time. Som¢ of the feedback collected in the staff survey enabled us to undertake.. Review of organisalional structures and refine them into (hree distinct directorates of Community Services, Critninal Justice Services. and Central Operations Benchmarking F.xercise io look at salaries and set a model of anftu review, connected to the Real Living Wage annual announcement A revieiv of meetings and subgroups and sel a new standard that will ensure floiv of knowledge is oplimai and that Issues are identified quickly and resolved * A review of staff benefits and ensure that we are doing everything within our financial limits and available to us It has been a year of re-stabilising, of development and of growth for the organisation but most importantly, we have seen and supported more male survivors Ihan ever before in our whole history. That is something w¢'re all incredibly proud of. FinAneial review We Are Survivors continues to see year on year growth in all areas of income as the provision ol services continues to expand, although this has slowed from the exponenlial growth of the previous few y¢ar5. This year, total in¢ome has grown 50/• year on year- now up to £1.73m. Costs have risen more than income {up 26.5Y. year on year), mainly driven by delivery of projects aligned to restricted funding, with very little net movement on total unrestricted funds during th¢ year. Our cash position h&8 reduced year on year, in line with the expenditure of restricted funds, but remains healthy, at £0.6m closing balance. After a number of years of c&refvlly managed, but extremely rapid groNNth, we continue to expand but at a steadier pace, with ¢xpan3ion of servic¢s tIough additional nding, which has allowed us to broaden our reach, delivered through our expanded and stsble operational delivery model. Page 5
We Are Survivors Trustees, Report Policy on reserves The amount held in unrestricted reserves at the end of the year was £666k, of whi¢h £659k is free reserves (after allowing for tunds tied up in fixed assets). The Trustees continue io review the reserves policy and have considered thc ongoing grow¢h of the organisation and reflected that in our reserves target. We have identified a need to hold reseryes at a level that are sufticient for us to complete programmes for those who are already in our services, to provide for redundancy pay and to exil our lease agreements. We have calculated this &s approximately £700k. which repres¢nts approximately 6 months of operating costs. Our reserves are at a level that broadly meets our reserve5 targeL and gives security to manage our forward looking growth. Rlsk Mftnftgemenl Risk is managed throughout the organisation using a number of processes. but the key (non-client) process is via the Organisational Risk Register. Two named Trustees are assigned with the t&8k of organisational Risk Governance and meets with the Ex¢¢utive Team every 8 weeks for a Risk Management sub-committee. The Risk Governance Trustees then r¢ports back to Board as a standing agenda item and the Chief Executive Officer presents an overview of any changes ivithin the Risk Register. In addition to this, t4 tull annual review of risk is carried out by officet3 of the Board. The Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Chief Executive oificer and Finance Manager also me¢t ¢v¢ry 8 Nvceks, as part of Finsncial Risk Management and Governance, to review accounts, cross ¢h¢ck cash flow, and identify any issues on the horizon. The sub groups are then reported back lo th¢ board at each board meeting. Page 6

The use of financial derivatives is govemed by the charity's policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manag¢ these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Cashflow nsk The charity's activities expose it primarily lo the financial risks of changes interest rates. Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows. Credli rlsk The charity's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade 3nd other receivables. and investments. The charity's credit risk is pritnarily attributable to ils trade receivables. The amount5 presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairnient is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience. is evidence of a reduction in tl)e recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative fLnancial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by inlemational credit-rating agencies. The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers. Liquidlly risk In order to mainlain liquidity to ensure Ihat sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charitv uscs a mixture of long-tem and short-tertn debi finance.

We Are Survivors Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of We Are Survivors Opinion We have audited the financial statements of We Are Survivors (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024, Ivhich comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant a¢counting 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 stand'd applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Aceepted Accounting Praetice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as al 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources. in¢luding its income and expenditure, for the year then ended. have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Aceepted Accounting Practice. and have been prepared in accordan¢e with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordan¢e with International Standards on Auditing (UK) {ISAs (UKI) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the tinancial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance iviih the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial 5tatetnents in the UK, including the FRC'S Eihi¢al 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 appropriat¢ to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded ihat the trustees use of the going concern basis of a¢¢ounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have perforn)¢d, we havc not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collLCtively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilitie5 of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other Information The trustces are responsible for the other information. The other inforniation comprises the infornlation included in the annual report. other than the financial slalements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statemcnls does not cover the other inforniation and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In ¢onne¢tion with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other inforn)ation and. in doing so, consider whether the other information is tnaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or othenvise 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 infomjalion. It, based on the work Ive have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other inforniation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Page 14
We Are Survivors Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of We Are Survivors Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course ot the audit.. the information given in the Trustees, Report tor the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is con513tcnl with the financial statements,. and the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light ot" our knowledge and understandit)g ot the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identitied material misstatements in the Trustees, Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the folloNving matters where the CompanA¢s Act 2006 requir¢s us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records hav¢ not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us. or the fmancial sta1¢m¢nts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,. or certain disclosures of trustees remun¢ration specified by law are noi made; or we have not received all the inforn)ation and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees, responsibilities (set out on page 12 and 13), th¢ trustees are responsible for the preparation of th¢ financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the tru5tecs delennine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial slalements that are free from material misstatement, whether due lo 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 con¢ern 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our obj¢ctives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement5 as a whole are free from material misstatement, whciher due to fraud or error, and to l5sue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is nol a guaransee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK} will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misslalements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of iisers taken on the basis of these financial statement5. 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 that are applicable to the Charity through discussions with management and determined that the tnost significant are the Companie5 Act 2006, the, employment Law and health and safety regulations, data protection and anti-bribery legislation. Based on this understanding ive designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance ivith such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved review of the documented policies and procedures, legal costs incurred during the period and discussions with the Board of Directors and key management personnel. Page 15
We Are Survivors Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of We Are Survivors We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by considering the key risks impacting the financial statements. We assessed this risk as low due to oversight by management and by the Board of companies holding a participating interest in the entity. We have reviewed the Company's control environment and assessed that it is adequate for a Company of ils size and nature. We designed our audit testing to review the presumed risk under ISA (UK and Ireland) 240 that that revenue may be misstated due to the improper recognition of revenue and that management over-ride of controls is present in all enlilies. 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 Stale to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.

We Are Survivors Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 Mydrch 2024 Donalions and legocies Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in MTiting of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the ¢harity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until cither those conditions are llY met, or the fultilinent of those conditions is wholly within the con(rol of the Charity and it is probable that these Conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Deferred income Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for whi¢h, it has been received. Su¢h income is only deferred when.. The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods- or The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has un¢onditional entitlement. Inveslment Ineome Dividends are recognised once the dividend has b¢¢n declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. Expenditure All expenditure 15 recognised once there is a legal or constNctive obligation to that expenditure, it 13 probable settlement is required and the amount can be mcasured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading thai aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basi5 consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocaled on the basis of time spent, and depreciatiun charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support cost5 are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Raisingfunds These are costs incurr¢d in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. GovernAnte eosts These in¢lude the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with ¢onstitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

A provision for the impaiment of trade debtor5 15 established when there is objcctive evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due a¢¢ording to the original tems of the receivables. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents ¢ompri5e cash on hand and ¢all deposits, and other short-temi highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject lo an insignificant risk of change in value. Tr2dt trtditors Trade eredilors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have becn aLquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at th¢ end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least INvelve month5 after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-¢urrent liabilities.

We Are Survivors Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Foreigll exchange Transactions in toreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transa¢tion. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date. The results of overseas operations are translated at the average rates of exchang¢ during the period and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation of the opening nel assets and results of overseas operations are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulat¢d in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate)- Oih¢r exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Financial A¢tivities in the period in which they arise except for.. l ) exchange differences on transaeiions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks (see above)- 2) exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in other comprehensive income- and 3) in the case of the consolidated financial statements, exchange differences on mon¢tary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore fom)ing part of the net investment in the foreign operation}. which are recognis¢d in other comprehensive income and reported und¢r equity. Fund strueture Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the truste¢s discretion in furtheranee ot the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is reslriLled to that area or purpose. Pensions and other post retirement obligations The charity operates a defined benefit pension scheme.Typically defined b¢n¢fit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employ¢¢ will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation al the reporting dale minus the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is measured using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benetit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future payments by reference to market yields at the reporting dale on high-quality orporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benetits will be paid, and that have iernis to maturity approximating lo th¢ ternis of the related pension liability. Actuarial gains losses are charged or credited to other comprehensive income in th¢ period in which they arise. Page 24
We Are Survivors Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Finaneial instruments Classification Financial assets an(1 financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Finan¢ial liabilities and ¢quity instruments are Classified according to the substance of the contraccual arrang¢m¢nts entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets ot the charity after deducting all of its liabilities. Recognition meffsuremenl All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction ¢osts). except for those financial assets ¢l&ssified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is nomially the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangemenl constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement conslilutes a financing transa¢tion, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right lo set off the recognised amounts and th¢ charity intends either to settle on a nel basis. or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial ass¢t5 are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b} the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c} the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset lo another party. Financi liabilities ar¢ dereeognised only when the obligation specified in the contra¢t is discharged, cancelled or expires. Page 25
We Are Survivors Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Deb¢ inslrumenls Debt instruments which meet the following ¢onditions are subsequently measured at amortised Cost using the effective interest tneihod: (a) The contractual return to thc holder is (i) a fixed amount; (li) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate- or {iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate. (b) Th¢ contract may provide tor repayments of the principal or the retum to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which (he debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged. (c) The contt7cl may provide for a delern)inable variation of the r¢turn to the holder during the life of the instmment, provided thal (il the new rate satisties condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on fubjre events other than { l ) a change of a Contractual variable rate,. (2) to protect the holder against credit delerioration of the issuer. 13} changes in levies &pplied by a central bank or arising from cha]iges in relevant taxation or laiv- or (li) the new rate is a market rate of inter¢st and satisfies condition (a). (d) Therc is no contractual provision that could, by its ternis, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. (e) Contractual provisions that perniit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or pemiit the holder lo put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protccl the holder against the credit deterioration of th¢ is5ucr or a change in control of the issuer. or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from ¢hanges in relevant taxation or law. (0 Contractua] provisions may pern)it the extension of the lerni of the debt instrument, provided that the retum to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended temi satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a} to {c). Debt instrument5 that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above Conditions are measured al the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected lo be paid or received, net of impaimient. With the exception of SOTne hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these Conditions are measured at fair value through profit or Ios5. Commitmenls to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) les5 impaiment. Inveslmenls Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttabl¢ ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profil or loss. Whei'e fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairnient. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairnient. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue ot shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. Page 26
We Are Survivors Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Derivativefinffncial inslriiments The charity uses derivative tinancial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign ex¢hange risk and inter¢st rate movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instnllnents for speculative purposes. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subs¢qu¢ntly remeasured to their fair value al each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in statement of financi activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. Fair volue measurement The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asscl provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic Circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If th¢ market is not active and recent transactions of an id¢nlical asset on their own are not a good estimate ot fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. 3 llleome from donations and legacies Unrestricted funds General Total funds Donations and legacies.
