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.

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 he￿th 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 tI￿ough additional ￿nding, which has allowed us to broaden our reach, delivered
through our expanded and stsble operational delivery model.

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.

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

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordan¢e with International Standards on Auditing (UK) {ISAs (UKI) and applicable

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.

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

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.

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. To the fullest extent
permitted by laiv, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the ¢haritable company and its
trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we hav¢ fomed.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
