TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st May 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS
The organization is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24th
of May 2012. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association,
which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed
by its Articles of Association. In the event of the charitable company being wound
up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding 10.
RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Charity has a membership, which is open to anyone with a genuine wish to assist in enhancing the wellbeing of those affected by online bullying and hate
campaigns. The majority of members are volunteer workers, those that support our
cause or those that have been affected by digital abuse.
The constitution lays down that Trustees are appointed from within this membership.
However, if an eligible person is recommended, proposed and seconded by members
they can be put forward for election as a Trustee provided that they become a member of the Charity.
A Trustee may serve for a period of three to nine years, after which she/he must
stand down and, if willing, seek re-election after having been duly proposed and seconded by members. Trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting. This
is done by a show of hands or ballot if the number of nominations exceeds the vacancies. All nominated Trustees have to be approved by the existing Board of
Trustees prior to the Annual General Meeting.
TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING
Trustees are mainly members and an induction course for them is unnecessary. Any
new Trustee who is not a member is given full details of the aims of the Charity and
his/her duties and responsibilities and is interviewed by the Director and Secretary of
the Charity. All Trustees are issued with copies of the Articles of Association, the
Memorandum of Association, the Directors and Secretaries Guide from Companies House and the Responsibilities of Charity Trustees from the Charity Commission.
RESERVES POLICY STATEMMENT Currently, The Cybersmile does not hold any funds as reserves due to lack of any considerable overheads or financial commitments that could potentially put the operational functionality of the charity at risk. Essential Cybersmile operations are safeguarded by ensuring all operational costs are covered for periods of between 12 and 24 months. Operations are flexible in their nature, to allow for streamlining when required. Regular finance meetings ensure that fundraising activities and sponsorship acquisition targets are met and that future planning for sustainable funding is being implemented. The Reserves Policy Statement will be reviewed at least once per annum by the board of directors.
SAFEGUARDING
With the welfare of service users, employees and volunteers being the charity’s prime objective, the anticipation and elimination of risk is fundamental to our day-to-day activities. All volunteers and members who connect with our service users follow
safeguarding guidelines and policies for reducing risk. All statutory requirements of the appropriate insurances are kept current and are regularly reviewed by The Trustees to this effect.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Mr. C Dugmore is the Director of the charity and acts as Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, who are responsible for policy decisions.
The Articles of Association state that there shall normally be not less than three and
not more than twelve Trustees.
Implementation of policy, human resource issues, financial administration and the
day- to-day operation of the Charity is the responsibility of the Director, assisted by staff and volunteer workers.

WHO WE ARE
We are a multi-award-winning non-profit committed to digital wellbeing and tackling all forms of bullying and abuse online. We work toward an internet where everyone is free to communicate, learn, play, and express themselves without fear.
Through education, innovative awareness campaigns and the promotion of positive digital citizenship we reduce incidents of cyberbullying and through our professional help and support services we empower victims and their families to regain control of their lives.
Founded in 2010, Cybersmile has grown to become the world’s leading anti-cyberbullying non-profit organization. Registered as a 501(c)3 not-forprofit organization in the U.S. and as a registered charity in the U.K. – Cybersmile provides expert support, resources and consultancy to individuals, governments, corporations and educational institutions around the world.
Our educational programs, support services and messages of hope and positivity reach millions of people around the world each year, whilst maintaining our core values of integrity, equality and compassion – the Cybersmile hallmark.
OUR MISSION
Cybersmile exists to create a safer, healthier, and more inclusive internet.
Online safety and digital wellbeing issues such as cyberbullying, misinformation, and harmful content are having a devastating impact on mental and physical health. This is leading to serious problems, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, and suicide.
We are working for systemic change to safeguard internet users while protecting freedom of expression. We believe that a healthy relationship with technology is essential as our lives become increasingly connected.
Our mission is to create a world where people of all ages can thrive online, learning and growing, safe from the serious effects of online problems that currently affect millions of people each year.
Through our evidence-based programs, we help people of all ages realize their full potential by supporting those in need, changing behaviours, and providing education to prepare current and future generations for a safe and positive future.
PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS 2024-2025
GLOBAL SUPPORT SERVICES
Our advisory and support resources enable us to support people who experience abuse, harassment, bullying and all forms of online harm. We work to find solutions and positive outcomes that will enable internet users to deal effectively with the experiences that they have gone through and to empower them with the tools, knowledge and confidence to move on.
As access to our online world grows across, the issues facing internet users continue to affect more people. To meet the ever-growing need for support, education and advisory support services, we have continued to develop our support services with a focus on scope, scalability and accessibility.
Our main resources and services are comprised of key areas of activity which allow us to maximise our reach and our digital response capabilities. These include:
Cybersmile Assistant
Cybersmile Assistant, our interactive AI based smart assistant continues to provide internet users from all demographics with instant access to advice and information for a wide range of issues such as cyber bullying and online abuse, anxiety, mental health, body image, cyberbullying, selfesteem, eating disorders and much more.
This year we have successfully completed the work needed to improve Cybersmile Assistant conversational program interface. All new features, including the introduction of speech/avatar programs to provide more opportunities for inclusive and diverse modes of delivery, have now been fully integrated onto our newly updated web-site, officially launched in Feb 2025. This integration increases the capacity and scope of our Assistant by providing access to new and updated resources for service users around the world.
Global Support Service
Our trained online advisors provide support for internet users of all ages around the world, 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. This year we have upgraded our Global Support Service, completely redesigning and rebuilding our back-end infrastructure to ensure service users benefit from a completely seamless experience.
These new enhancements have enabled us to reduce wait times for users needing help at scale via our enhanced access portal. This means that people who may need immediate help are contacted automatically with advice for accessing professional crisis support if needed, and further links to our support resources, including our Global Support Service email advisor team.
Many of the enquiries we receive require ongoing support to deal with problems they may be experiencing online and our advisor team work together to provide practical effective advice and facilitate access to professional support for the ever-increasing and complex range of issues associated with cyberbullying and other online harms. All enquiries are dealt with confidentially on a one-to-one basis by allocated advisors who are in turn supported by our Advisor Supervision Team, ensuring that all users are given effective advisory support and direction to approved information and resources.
#AskCybersmile
As part of our work in partnership with ’X’, (formerly Twitter), we provide direct access to our Global Support Service to X users. Our trained advisors are able to respond to users who experience problems directly through the X platform - accessible to over 600 million active monthly users.
EDUCATION – PROVISION AND RESOURCES
Our educational programs cover a diverse range of topics and are designed to enhance learning experiences for people of all ages and abilities. Whether an educator, student, or someone who simply loves to learn, we have something for everyone.
We offer a vast range of educational resource types, such as interactive modules, lesson plans, videos, toolkits, and many more. All resources are created by our team of experts and are regularly updated to ensure we are delivering the best possible learning experiences.
We believe that education is not a privilege; it is a basic human right. This is why we make our educational resources completely free for all educators and internet users, wherever they are in the world.
Our e-learning platform is continuously evolving to offer meaningful tips and guides for a growing number of important social issues. The current curriculum includes learning experiences in key areas such as digital wellbeing, online safety, social media, digital civility, and many more.
E-Learning Platform.
This year we have successfully integrated our E-Learning platform into our newly upgraded website at Cybersmile.org - making this valuable interactive learning resource more accessible to our users and the general public. In addition to this upgrade, we have also restructured our entire education archive to ensure increased user access to our library of digital toolkits and educational workshops.
In Oct 24, to mark World Mental Health Day, we announced our ‘Spread Magic, Not Hate” campaign in partnership with Rainbow SpA, creators of the global aminated series ‘Winx Club - aimed at tackling online abuse. The campaign was launched at New York Comic Con, which saw more than 200,000 attendees at the Javits Center for the annual event. Real-life Winx fairies met with fans of the show and shared QR codes at the venue, providing direct access to Cybersmile resources. Our campaign promotional video raising awareness of our education and support resources received over 600,000 views. Since launch, our learning platform has educated over 685,000 internet users.
Cybersmile.org
Cybersmile.org remains our primary resource for education, awareness, and guidance - engaging with diverse audiences, both socially and geographically, to facilitate delivery of our advisory and educational resources to internet users across the globe.
In Feb 2025, after three years of development, we officially launched our newly updated Cybersmile.org website; specifically designed to improve accessibility, scalability, and user support. The upgrade features a redesigned back-end infrastructure to provide a seamless experience for those accessing educational and support resources.

doomscrolling, comparison culture, online exploitation, social media and mental health, to name a few.
To help those who are experiencing serious issues outside of our cyberbullying and online abuse support capabilities, we provide access to authorities and organisations that provide specialist support for a wide range of topics including urgent crisis support, suicide and self-harm prevention, mental-health support and law enforcement.
All the educational resources and materials that we create at Cybersmile are promoted and amplified through our digital engagement mechanisms to deliver optimum awareness and provide access for internet users around the world. All of our support resources are available completely free of charge 24hrs a day, 365 days a year.
Access to our resources is promoted throughout the year to our audience of over 3.2 million followers on social media, and to global digital communities worldwide through diverse promotional campaigns and organic viral messaging.
Cybersmile.org provided guidance, advice, education and support resources for over 3.8 million internet users this year
RAISING AWARENESS – ONLINE ENGAGEMENT & ACCESSABILITY
Our online engagement activities are mostly supported via our corporate partnership campaigns, helping us to address specific issues throughout the year and also providing the crucial funding, sponsorship and donated resources needed to maintain our three core pillars of activity, education, awareness and support.
All awareness campaigns and promotions are supported and amplified through our network of followers, supporters, volunteers and influencers, who help us to spread our messaging around the world online throughout the year.

The campaign video achieved over 1 million views and trended on X (formerly Twitter).

Partner Campaigning
Words are Permanent Campaign.
In May 2025 we launched our “Words are Permanent” public awareness campaign in partnership with creative agency adam&eveDDB.
This innovative awareness campaign took real abusive comments made to young people online and turned them into striking permanent tattoos on
the faces of photorealistic AI-generated children. The initiative highlighted the way online comments only take a few seconds to type but can cause permanent damage to the person being targeted.
The campaign was highlighted as the "Best Print" ad by Best Ads on TV and featured in Creative Salon as a work of the week, reports Creative Salon. The "Words are Permanent" campaign was a continuation of the award-winning partnership between Cybersmile and adam&eveDDB, which in 2018 won Gold, Silver, and Bronze Lions at Cannes with their #TrollingIsUgly awareness campaign.
Other notable awareness campaigns this year include:
"Give a Little" (2024–2025): A multi-year partnership with TLC and TikTok.
2024: Featured a PSA with Whitney Way Thore from My Big Fat Fabulous Life focusing on body image and online kindness.
2025: Launched new PSAs featuring Baylen Dupree (Baylen Out Loud) with co-branded TikTok videos highlighting safety tools.
"Beyond Profiles" (Launched June 2024): An influencer-led initiative featuring personal testimonies from creators to remind users of the real emotions behind social media accounts.
"Spread Magic, Not Hate" (October 2024): A global partnership with the Winx Club for World Mental Health Day, featuring a co-branded merchandise capsule and educational content for young adults.
2024: ‘The Spread Magic, Not Hate” (in partnership with Winx Club) won the Best Influencer Award at the Digital Licensing Excellence Awards 2024.
Since 2010, Cybersmile campaigns and initiatives have won numerous international awards at prestigious events, including the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, Shorty Awards, Campaign Big Awards, The One Show Awards, The Clio Awards and MM+M, to name a few.

All donations are used to help us develop our educational, advisory and support services as well as helping us to raise awareness through corporate aligned promotional campaigns and digital public engagement.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2025
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31/05/2025 .
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2025
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31/05/2025 .
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2025
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
