ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activitie5
Support A SuTrivor of Torture ISAST) lakes a holistic, survivor-led gpproach, offering &5SiStallce that helps to break the
cycle of siigma expericnced by survivors of torture and abuse, and creatcs a supponiv¢ environment for recovery.
Over the last 12 months SAST has continucd to bc a weekly lifcline for very isolated and traumatised individuals.
addressing rncntal healih and physieal problems in the aftemiath of conflict and torture in detention. When ihey come to
us they ar¢ often suicidal, without waTm clothes and unable to access services bccause they don't speak English. We
off¢r English classes, group counselling. thernpeutic art, a hot meal - and a chance lo make frtends.
During 2022, SAST ran its weekly psycho-social supwjrt group for approximately 45 male and feTnale torture siirvivors.
The offering involved basic English classes, group and individual COLmselling sessions in the survivoTS' rnotheT tongue,
therapcutic art Icssons and a hot meal, as well as r¢imbursernent for trével Costs. In addition to this, a part time case
worker supplied other kinds of support, su¢h as facilitating acce5S to medical services, housing seNiees and help to fill
in HC2 fornis for free medical Pre￿riPtiOns.
Between 26 February 2022 and 25 February 2023 SAST delivered
45 weekly group meet-ups for around 45 Survivors. with hot food provided and travel Costs covered. In addition to the
45 group meetings, w¢ had S online sessions due 10 th¢ trdin strikes and 3 outings during this period.

SAST'S inclusive cnvironment has provided survivors with a safe space, enablin8 them to address their issues without
feeling guilt or shorn¢. Participants f¢¢] 5UPPOrted in th¢ir journey towards recovery and finding undeTstsnding and
comfort together. We regularly osk for feedback from partiCiPAnts and overall, they report that SAST has creared a safe
environm¢nl where they are free from judg¢ment and all ihe activitiC5 hav¢ wntyibuted to their resilieDC¢ in overcoming
daily life challenges.
SAST stsff and volunteers
There have been no staff changes and the charity employs part-tirne I counsellor and a bookkeeper, while the Project
Manager and the Social Worker are freelance but key m¢mbcrs of the team. We contrdcted exlernal counselling
supervision as needed. SAST counsellors have access to regular counselling for the purpos¢5 of de-briefing as well as

Plans for 2023
The eharity is working on a eoiisultJiion wilh GILib<il Survivots Fund rc&p#rding iheir views on rcparntions for Conflict
Related Scxual Viol¥nce. The charity's survivors h41ve particip&ted in large group discussion sessions and a report will
be produced luter in the year with thc rc¥ults.
Due to an extra grant, we arc cxpandLII8 our work to include more onc-to-one in porson sessions with survivots and also
cxn online 5cssions for survivors who live too far to attend ihe Thursday mcetings on a regular basis.
FItYAiYCIAL REVIEW
Financlal posltlOD
ThL Lharity is back¢d by three major ￿nderS with grant payments totalling £202.819 in the year. The grants are
unrestricted. Private donarions lotalling £20,224 with gift aid, arc also unrestricted and tend to be used to support
survivors and their families in emergencies or for cel¢brdtion5 and special days of remembrdnce.
We enjoy tax exemption on our activities &8 all fvnds are spent on our charitable aims. W¢ are unable to reclaim VAT
input t&x on our costs as we are exempt for VAT purposes. We pay tax as aD employer ihrough the national insurance
contributions we make. We make contributions to Ncsi pcnsion Scheme based on the requirements of the PeDsion5
R¢gulator for automatic cnrolmcnt of all staff.
Reserves polley
We seek to build up a reserve to be able to continue services and to a5Sj5t individuals in emergencies. Th¢ reserve5 held
ai the end of the financial year are due to a large grant that h&s been awarded to be spent from November 2022 to March
2024
Golng Concern
The administrdior and the accountant revicw thc ea5h flow forecast of the charity on a monthly basis and communicates
any concerns to the Trnstees. This review along with the Trserves held help thc TnL5tee5 assess going concern. These
TNste¢ revtews are annual ai the moment as reserves are secure but would be quarterly at least if the funding SI￿atIon
ehangcd. li has been decided to explor¢ other funding sour¢cs as we havo increased the number of survivors we help in
2023 and we would like to ensuie thss Continues. The TTUStees have an open invitation to attend th¢ weekly mtttings
¥thd celebrations and spend time with the survivors and see the work of the project on a regular basi8.
