Trustees' and Directors' Report

Public benefit

The trustees of We Are Survivors affirm their commitment to operating in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They take seriously their responsibility to ensure the charity’s activities serve the public good and confirm compliance with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011. This includes having due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

The charity’s primary beneficiaries are adult males, as well as trans and non-binary individuals who feel a male survivor space is appropriate for their needs. These individuals have experienced sexual abuse, assault, and/or rape. As vulnerable adults, it is essential that all services are delivered with sensitivity, care, and a trauma-informed approach to avoid any risk of further harm or re-traumatisation.

In addition to direct beneficiaries, We Are Survivors supports secondary beneficiaries—those indirectly affected by male sexual violence, such as family members, partners, and close friends.

Tertiary beneficiaries include professionals and community members who work with or support male survivors. This layered approach ensures a broader impact across society, promoting understanding, resilience, and healing.

The charity’s core service area is Greater Manchester, encompassing all ten metropolitan boroughs: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, and Wigan. Services also extend across England and Wales, with prison-based programmes operating in all 15 prisons throughout the North West of England.

The trustees confirm that the organisation meets its objectives and carries out its activities for public benefit by providing the following male survivor-centred/trauma informed services:

Stabilisation: A digital offer in our website www.wearesurvivors.org.uk and email support support@wearesurvivors.org.uk) that allows our beneficiaries to engage in services anonymously and enable loved ones an increased understanding of the general and specific impacts sexual harms have on individuals and the communities they live within.

Processing: Direct telephone support on 0161 236 2182 for everyone engaged in our support services; Facilitated peer-support groups, both in physical and digital spaces, that enables male survivors, and their loved ones, to build their own communities of support.

Integration: 1:1 emotional support and groupwork in both physical and digital spaces, that gives those not ready for trauma informed therapy the opportunity to engage face to face, learn about the impact of their trauma and abuse experience, and develop healthy coping strategies but provides post-therapy support to build supportive communities; and 1:1 ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) service supporting male victims going through the criminal justice system from ‘report to court’ to ensure that the often difficult process is as smooth as it can be and easier to navigate.

All frontline services are delivered in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions (2018), supplemented by clinical guidelines such as those from NICE. These frameworks help ensure that services are safe, ethical, and effective. The organisation is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (Z2970240) and complies with GDPR through annual NHS Toolkit submissions. It also holds independent accreditations including the UK Male Quality Standards and the National ISVA Standard, awarded by LimeCulture CIC.

Trustees' and Directors' Report

Public benefit (continued)

A robust governance structure ensures that any complaints are handled professionally and with a focus on the service user. All staff are trained to professional standards relevant to their roles and are members of appropriate professional bodies.

The trustees can also evidence the organisations further adherence to public benefit as it:

• Affords time to our CEO, Senior Leadership and Management to engage in research and support the design of local and national policies, procedures and reports that benefit of male survivors and their loved ones, including the Victims and Prisoners Act, Sentencing Bill, etc

• Continue to provide script and story consultancy to drama writers and producers in order they can tell honest stories and educate the public of male survivors and the psycho-social and health and wellbeing impact of sexual violence, including this year on S4C’s Pobol Y Cwm.

• Enables our senior staff, management and members of our practitioner teams represent the VCFSE (Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise) sector, sexual violence sector and organisations, male survivors, and lived experience on various forums and panels across Greater Manchester, the North West and UK focusing on creating a more positive experience for male victims. This year that includes CPS Rape Scrutiny Panel, Greater Manchester Justice and Rehabilitation Executive Board, Gender Based Violence Board

• Works in partnership with other victim and survivor support organisations in informal collectives and formal consortia to ensure that there is a stronger, more collective national voice, available for male survivors to be heard and that duplication is kept to a minimum, so public monies are spent responsibly and effectively

• Continually hold spaces for the organisation’s beneficiaries (past and present) to undertake a formal advisory and scrutiny role to ensure that the organisation remains of public benefit, via the Expert Reference Group

Importantly, the charity does not provide private benefits to any individual connected directly or indirectly to the organisation, ensuring that all resources are directed toward public benefit.

Achievements and performance

On behalf of the Trustees of We Are Survivors, I am pleased to present this annual report, which reflects a period of significant activity, strategic development, and impact.

Over the past year, the Board has remained fully engaged in providing robust governance and supporting the organisation to achieve its mission of empowering male victims/survivors of sexual harms.

Quarter 1

We began the year connected to Baby Reindeer, written and starring our own Ambassador Richard Gadd. Baby Reindeer set a worldwide discussion about male sexual violence and went on to win six Primetime Emmies and two Golden Globe Awards, and Richard wore his We Are Survivors lapel pin on the red carpet, giving us the most incredible exposure. In the first two weeks after its launch on Netflix, 53% of all our referrals cited the show as being the main reason they reached out; 40% of referrals were from 26 -35 year olds; 80% of callers to our support-line were first time callers.

Members of our staff team, volunteers, friends, family, allies, and survivors themselves carried on with being visible by taking part in the Great Manchester Run, raising money to help us ensure no male survivor is left behind.

We launched our www.weareallies.org.uk project, in association with Mandem Meetup - a new initiative aimed at better serving male survivors in barbers, tattooists, sexual health clinics and many more spaces.

We also launched our www.onit.org.uk which is a project focused supporting those who engage in ChemSex or want to work through the impact of chems/sex/HIV/consent, and also the professionals who support them. The work was built on a paper by Dr Michael Atkins (Cheddar Gorgeous) and is a unique co-production by We Are Survivors and George House Trust.

Our CEO accepted an invitation from Baroness Gabby Bertin to be part of the Independent Porn Review, seeking to make clear the distinction between pornography, exploitation and indecent images of children.

We also accepted an invitation to be part of a research project into ‘Rape Myths’ in Juries. Our CEO and one of our ISVA Team, Kaelin Fletcher-Taylor, began collaborating with Lancaster and Loughborough Universities in researching into juries and their tendencies towards rape myths.

Quarter 2

After months of work, the BBC TV drama Casualty aired an episode which explored non-current male sexual abuse, which We Are Survivors were consulted on to provide storytelling advice, and actor Barney Walsh featured in

In August 2024, members of our staff team, volunteers, friends, family, allies, and male survivors themselves took part in Manchester Pride parade, the first time this has ever been done. Our Senior Design & Communication Co-Ordinator, Grahame Roberston and our CDT Manager, Daniel Griffin, also set up www.onit.org.uk stalls at Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Stockport, Oldham and Wigan Prides.

In the interests of further meeting the second part of our charitable objectives, we launched the Beyond the Silence Podcast, presented by George Proctor and produced by Tag Nuttal, who is also PA to our CEO. The Podcast interviews many of the staff team and engages in deep dives into topics that affect male survivors.

We also contributed to Men’s Health Magazine with our CEO, Duncan Craig; our Ambassador, Richard Gadd; and a number of our Expert-Reference Group members took part in this feature.

Trustees' and Directors' Report

Achievements and Performance (continued)

We hosted our first ever large scale fundraiser, when the Captain of Mere Golf Club chose us as his Charity of his Captaincy at The Mere and culminating in Captains Weekend, which raised nearly £40,000 for supporting male survivors.

Providing support was also the point of opening a brand new service – Nightingale Service, which offered support to partners, parents and loved ones of male survivors.

As we headed towards the general election, we published a MANifesto for political parties to understand the impact of sexual violence on boys and men.

Quarter 3:

Our Ambassador, James Sutton (Hollyoaks), invited our CEO, Duncan Craig OBE, on his brand new mental health Podcast, Male Mind Matters as the very first ever guest.

Following the success of Baby Reindeer, our CEO Duncan Craig and Deputy CEO Chris Speed, attended and networked at the Netflix hosted event, Netflix and Grill. They talked about the importance of telling real stories of male survivors and the importance of visibility.

Visibility has always been important to us and so the Board were incredibly proud that our CEO, Duncan Craig, became part of the GM VCFSE Leadership Group and developed a workstream on victims and justice issues across Greater Manchester.

Our Operations Director, Jamie Legge, worked to get We Are Survivors accredited with Cyber Essentials, improving our IT and data security, as well as attaining necessary criteria for external funders.

We were proud to be part of launching the Greater Manchester strategy for tackling gender-based violence against men and boys, a strategy co-authored by Duncan Craig and University of Manchester’s Professor David Gadd. The strategy, setting out how to tackle and raise awareness around domestic abuse, sexual assault and harassment towards men and boys.

Quarter 4:

The final quarter of the year was incredibly special. In January, following discussion and debate on the board, we agreed and approved a considerable change to our Charitable Objects to ensure that we improved our language in relation to sexual harms and ensured that we were clear about our responsibility in supporting the loved ones of male survivors, and we made clear our commitment to educating and making communities aware of the issues.

This change was part of a very special anniversary, as in February, We Are Survivors turned 16 and our 16th birthday began our year-long celebration entitled ‘’The Year of Consent”, in recognition of 16 being the age of consent.

The National Lottery Reaching Communities fund awarded We Are Survivors to develop services in new localities that reach more male survivors in Greater Manchester.

Manchester Business School’s MBA ‘Team Tango’ worked with Duncan Craig, Theo Aarons, and Nick Callow cohort to measure and improve We Are Survivors messaging.

Our focus has been on strengthening the organisation’s structure, services, and influence. The Board has devoted substantial time to preparation, discussion, and decision-making, ensuring that we approach all matters with a thorough understanding. This year’s Board Away Day was a particularly valuable opportunity to reflect, plan, and set clear priorities for the year ahead.

Future

Throughout the forthcoming year, the Board will focus on developing and maintaining the organisation’s structural integrity.

We will ensuring the Board comprises 8 - 10 members with the right mix of skills and experience, and by lead the recruitment of new trustees that will strengthen our governance further, particular in financially and politically turbulent times.

We will further develop our ideas of our strategic ambitions through discussion and engagement with our staff, our stakeholders, our survivors; and thank all Trustees, our Chief Executive Officer and his Executive Leadership team, the staff and volunteers, and all those who support our work. It is through their shared commitment, expertise, and compassion that We Are Survivors continues to grow and we are determined to become the trusted Centre of Excellence for male survivors that we can be.

So, as we move into our 16th Year, we look forward to building on our past achievements, our current ideas, and our future plans. In the coming year we will continue to deliver high-quality, accessible services, and amplifying the voices of male survivors across England and Wales.

We look forward to building on these achievements in the coming year, continuing to deliver high-quality, accessible services, and amplifying the voices of male survivors across England and Wales.

Trustees' and Directors' Report

Financial review

Once again, we report another year of growth – income is up 22% year on year to £2.1m. With that income growth comes organisational expansion, and costs are also up to support delivery of our services, contracts, and grant commitments.

We are reporting a £20.7k increase in unrestricted funds, continuing to leave us in a healthy position at the end of the year.

Our ongoing annual growth is carefully managed, and although continuous, is well and consciously controlled. We deliver and spend within our restricted funds and maintain controls and reserves to manage our unrestricted activities.

Policy on reserves

The amount held in unrestricted reserves at the end of the year was £685k, of which £683k is free reserves (after allowing for funds tied up in fixed assets).

The Trustees continue to review the reserves policy and have considered the ongoing growth of the organisation and reflected that in our reserves target. We have identified a need to hold reserves at a level that are sufficient for us to complete programmes for those who are already in our services, to provide for redundancy pay, and to exit our lease agreements. We have calculated this as approximately £700k.

Our reserves are at a level that broadly meets our reserves target and give us security to manage our forward-looking growth.

Risk Management

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 task of organisational Risk Governance and meets with the Executive Team every 8 weeks for a Risk Management sub-committee.

The Risk Governance Trustees then reports back to Board as a standing agenda item and the Chief Executive Officer presents an overview of any changes within the Risk Register.

In addition to this, a full annual review of risk is carried out by officers of the Board.

The Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Finance Manager also meet every 8 weeks, as part of Financial Risk Management and Governance, to review accounts, cross check cash flow, and identify any issues on the horizon. The sub groups are then reported back to the board at each board meeting.

Principal funding sources

In this financial year, We Are Survivors has gratefully received generous financial support from the following:

Without the generosity of all these funders, the service would not be able to reach as many clients as it does today.

Going concern

The charity’s main sources of income are contracts, grants and fees. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.

Structure, governance and management Financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash flow risk

The charity’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.

Page 13

We Are Survivors

Trustees' and Directors' Report

Credit risk

The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments. The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

.

Liquidity risk

In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term finance.

However, the majority of activities are funded up-front, reducing operational liquidity risk, which is carefully and regularly monitored and managed by the executive and trustees.

Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of We Are Survivors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Page 14

We Are Survivors

Trustees' and Directors' Report

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. The trustees confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.

Reappointment of auditor

In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of Williamson & Croft Audit Ltd as auditors of the charity is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 29 October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of We Are Survivors

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of We Are Survivors (the charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting 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 Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical 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 appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, 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 responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise 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 information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of We Are Survivors

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' and Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities (set out on page 14 and 15), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to 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 concern 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 objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of We Are Survivors

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 state 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 law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Unit 9 Brewery Yard Deva City Office Park Salford Greater Manchester M3 7BB

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 29 October 2025.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

We Are Survivors meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Judgements

The key material area of significant management judgement and estimation uncertainty is in respect of the allocation of income and expenditure to the correct unrestricted or restricted funds. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular funds they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Income and endowments

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

Page 23

We Are Survivors

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing 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 charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control 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 which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Asset class

Furniture & Equipment Short Leashold Investments

Depreciation method and rate

5/3 years straight line 7 years straight line

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired 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 the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months 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-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of 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 restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined benefit pension scheme.Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee 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 at the reporting date 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 benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future payments by reference to market yields at the reporting date on high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses are charged or credited to other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Page 25

We Are Survivors

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, 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 to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets 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 to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Page 26

We Are Survivors

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Debt instruments

Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method:

(a) The contractual return to the holder is (i) a fixed amount; (ii) 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) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged.

(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than (1) a change of a contractual variable rate; (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer; (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law; or (ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a).

(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.

(e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deterioration of the issuer 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 changes in relevant taxation or law.

(f) Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended term satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) to (c).

Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.

With the exception of some hedging instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment.
