AcfiviTIES, SERVICES & PERFORMANCE Introduction Our Room is an arts and social charity that supports marginalised male, trans and non-binary people who sex work, across Greater Manchester. We support male, trans and non-binary people experiencing severe and multiple disadvantage, including those involved with sex work with experience of sexual exploitation, and those with experience of homelessness, poor mental health, sexual health and drug and alcohol misuse. We believe in and utilise the power of creative arts to help transform, enrich and empower people's lives. OUR ROOM MANCHESTER Community based participatory creative arts is fundamental to our approach to support and empower male, trans and non-binary people who sex work. We understand that active participation in creative arts generates opportunities for increased imagination, reflection and exploration of different ways of living. This is particularly powerful with the people we empower and support. Our creative arts work enables male, trans and non-binary people who sex work to establish positive, supportive and creative dialogue and relationships. This year was a very busy year for all the different programmes of work at Our Room. Success in funding bids and supportive, engaged funders enabled us to continue to reach and support male. trans and non-binary people who sex work. We continue to receive very positive and supportive feedback about our name change to 'Our Room., This name change better reflects the diverse range of people and communities that we support, including ensuring our services are inclusive for trans and non-binary people. The development of our new website continues to be an important part of our work; htt ourrooin.or -ulc The cost-of-living crisis has conti nued having a significant im pacted on our participants, due to this we committed to opening the office as a warm hub 3 days a week, increasing the value of our food voucher to £10 and including food parcels as part of our provision. There is real ownership and strong community participation from the male, trans and non-binary people who access Our Rooms space; with this in mind we secured funding to complete an office refurbishment, the participants were involved with planning the space and deciding what was needed to create a warm, welcoming homely centre. This was completed in May of 2024 and the space now better reflects our community and celebrates the creative art they produce. Advoca &Su ort We have seen a high and increasing demand for our advocacy and support services, providing 610 one-to-one sessions. Across our advocacy and support services this year we have supported a total of 54 people. This crucial service has provided intensive advocacy and support across a growing range of interconnected, complex issues. We supported: 33 of our participants to maintain accommodation and avoid rough sleeping. 40 of our participants Accessed housing / homelessness support. 11 of our participants supported by us making formal referrals to the Adult Safeguarding Hub because of concerns for their welfare. 33 of our participants across 150 support sessions accessed professional support to address poor mental health & wellbeing. 9 of our participants supported to access support for sexual assault and violence, across 27 support sessions. 22 of our participants supported to access support for substance use and addiction, across 90 support sessions. 75% of our participants have needed support around housing and homelessness.

Mental Health & Wellbein The majority of our participants experience poor mental health, often anxiety and depression, which is frequently related to Adverse Childhood Experiences IACEI, homelessness and loneliness and isolation. In addition to our usual provision of aiding participants to access mental health support, 2 participants were detained under Mental Health Act. This work is highly13bour intensive and involves working with a multitude of partner organisations throughout Greater Manchester often over many months. We convened 10 Multi-Disciplinary Team Meetings with statutory partners for participants with chronic mental and physical health conditions or drug and alcohol issues.

OUR ROOM MANCHESTER 4 volunteers. 500 attendances by participants at groups/trips/shows/performances/events. Playing With Fire IPWFI was our long-term creative vision, co-produced by participants & developed from an ACE funded R&D project. It offered participants opportunities to collaborate with exceptional artists, experience a wide range of artforms & create works of artistic brilliance to be shared publicly. It enables our participants to enjoy & feel a part of the artistic riches of our city, seeing themselves as artists, with their work appreciated by others. As 3 group we worked with internationally renowned and diverse artists & cultural orgs such as Walk The Plank IWTP) Royal Exchange IRE), & Company Chameleon ICC) & Len Grant. We created and produced 4 public facing artistic events. The project Was completed in October 2024 and ended with an exhibition at HOME Theatre, participants held 3 Q&A with members of the public, talking about what the work meant to them. The exhibition ran for 3 months more than 15,000 people saw participants work. We now h3ve the work proudly displayed throughout our office. Strate ic Partnershi An important function of Our Room continues to be attending key strategic partnership meetings, to give voice and ensure the needs of male, trans and non-binary people who sex work are included within policy developments. Over the past 12 months Our Room have been active partners in a range of important strategic forums, including: Manchester Sex Work Forum: Our attendance and contributions at these meetings help to shape future policy, particularly regarding influencing the development of the Manchester Sex Worker Strategy, which Our Room is a key author of. This forum and associated strategy are critically im porta nt, as it sets out the priorities and am bitions for improving the lives of sex workers, and ensuring a city wide, co-ordinated response to multiple needs. Our Room has been able to influence 3 nd create positive im pact within the forum through ensuring key priorities are included within the strategy, including developing a Greater Manchester Sex Work Forum, and effective consultation with Sex Workers on what it means to be safe, healthy, and happy. Manchester Homelessness Strategic Advisory Group: Our Room are active partners in this Strategic Advisory Group. Homelessness and living in temporary accommodation are needs which are very prevalent in the male, trans and non-binary people we work with. Contributions at this external partnership group enable u5 to ensure the needs of male, trans and non-binary people who sex work are incl uded within Manchester's Homelessness Strategy, as well as influencing policy in cross cutting themes,. these are identified within 'Making Manchester Fairer, Strategy, which is focused upon addressing health inequal ities across Ma nchester to tackle social determinants of health. Manchester Chem Sex Strategic Partnership: one of the needs we often see with the male, trans and non-binary people who sex work we support is engaging in chem sex; psych03Ctive and recreational drugs used to enhance sexual activity. Our voice at this partnership is important, as we can influence the service delivery, working with clinicians and other stakeholders to help to reduce stigma and shame associated with both chem sex and more broadly sex work Challen es Recruitment and Retention Our Room is currently experiencing a transition period with several key personal moving on to pastures new. Our CEO announced his intention to move on, having secured a leadership role for another charity. In November 2024, an Interim CEO was appointed, Rob Cookson, who has 25 years, experience of working in the Voluntary & Community Sector, including in depth experience of working at CEO and Deputy CEO level for a range of local and national Charities. OUR ROOM MANCHESTER Also, during this financial year both our Head of Creatives left the organisation to seek new opportunities. Our creative work remains a critically important part of our work, and we are currently in the process of replacing this position. Whilst there has been more staff recruitment than expected during this financial year, the Charity is in a very positive position and has a highly skilled, committed and talented staff team. Partici ants increased com lexit of need We continLAe to witness our advocacy and support services, alongside our creative sessions being accessed by a range of participants with multiple needs. Needs include basic, vitally important support, includi ng provision of hot nutritional food, crisis packs which i ncl ude warm clothing a nd provision of hygiene and toiletries. Most of the participants that we support will have complex mental health and we11being needs, often linked to other challenges they experience, including substance misuse, housing, abuse and sexual health. Diversi income We continue to have success in growing our income, particularly through statutory sources and trusts and foundations. We are very grateful for the support of our range of funders, who are active supporters of our work. Our future plans and aspirations are to further diversify our funding into other sources of income, including donor, legacy, earned income and corporate support. Maximisin use of technolo to increase reach We understand the importance of using different mechanisms to further our reach with male, trans and non-binary people who sex work. This year, we have strengthened our online work, providing information and support online to 761 people. Given the nature of our work, continuing to maximise the use of technology and providing onli ne as well as face-to-face interventions will remain a key part of our support. Board Develo ment The Board continues to strengthen, with additional Trustees recruited this year. We are fortunate that on the Boa rd we have a good m ix of relevant ski Ils, includi ng leadership, strategy, planning, safegua rding, financia l and governance. Th is is further strengthened by specific skills and knowledge which individual Board members bring. which includes Project Management, Mental Health, Sexual Health, Homelessness and Creative Arts. INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICIES Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for any longer-term investment. RESERVES POLICY AND GOING CONCERN th The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 30 November 2024 was £25,020. We have planned for the coming year, that we will increase unrestricted funds significantly in the coming 12 months. The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered. The ongoing impact of the pandemic on funding streams has meant we have relied heavily on free reserves to continue to deliver a safe and effective service this year. We have now exhausted our free reserves, however as stated above, actions already undertaken will ensure that we will begin to rebuild our unrestricted reserves in the coming 12 months. OUR ROOM MANCHESTER The Charity's main source of income is 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. FINANCIAL REVIEW Similar to most charities, fundraising remains challenging. We are however fortune that we continue to receive support from a range of statutory partners, particularly Manchester City Council. Thanks to the dedication of our highly skilled staff team, we have continued to be successful in securing a range of Trusts and Foundations grants. Whilst we have grown our income in recent years, we continue to focus on the twin, interlinked challenges of increasing our unrestricted income and diversifying our funding sources. RISK MANAGEMENT The trustees continue to have oversight of the major risks which the charity is exposed to. Day to day operational mitigation of risk is delegated to the leadershi p team. The key themes of risk management and mitigation which trustees and leadership team identify are: Governance: Ensuri ng the correct mix of skills required. Compliance: Maintaining compliance with laws and regulations. Operational: Having the correct staff levels and meeting increasing need. Reputational: Providing accurate and up to-date information and appropriate social media presence. Financial: Maintaining effective systems and strengthening levels of reserves and unrestricted income. Environmental: Maintaining and strengthening sustainable practices. Technological: Enhancing systems and reducing risk of cyber security threats. Our Room trustees, the leadership group, and wider staff team regularly review and assess the risks faced by the charity in all areas of its work and plan for the management and active mitigation of those risks. Risk is an everyday part of charitable activity and managing it effectively is essential if the trustees are to achieve the key objectives and safeguard their charity's funds, assets, reputation and quality of provision. Our Room has a Strategic Risk Management Framework in place. This approach helps Our Room to identify, assess, and mitigate risk. Having an effective Strategic Risk Management Framework in place allows Our Room to anticipate any challenges, reduce the risk of any issues and protect the orga nisation. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS Our key priorities that will guide the organisation's development over the coming years are: Strategic Priority I: Expand our reach and service provision to ensure we are meeting the needs of the increasing numbers of male, trans and non-binary people engaging in sex work. Strategic Priority 2- We will provide opportunities and services that empower our participants to make positive life choices through creativity and person-centred advocacy. Strategic Priority 3.. To have created a sustainable revenue base through diversification. STRUCTURE.
