Hostage International Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Hostage International is uniquely placed to support people affected by the trauma of kidnapping and arbitrary detentions where the incident has occurred outside of their home country. Our aim is to relieve the suffering of victims of hostage-taking (which expression shall include kidnapping and abduction) and of state-perpetrated arbitrary detentions, being the hostages and detainees and their families or the released hostages and detainees and their families, by: {a) providing support to the hostages and detainees and their families, during and after a hostage-taking or arbitrary detention., (b) providing education and training relating to the support of victims of hostage-taking, arbitrary detention and similar incidents. {c) advocating for better support for the victims of hostage-taking ond arbitrary detention., and {d> advancing public knowledge and understanding of hostage-taking and arbitrary detention and their effects. Our work to deliver on these aims is led by employees with specialist expertise in these areas, supported by trained and dedicated volunteer caseworkers. As well as providing direct support to those in need of our services, we also offer comprehensive and tailored information and guidance to families and released hostages, including those affected by arbitrary detention. We also facilitate access to pro-bono specialists and professional services offering legal advice, mental health therapy, medical and dental care and media advice. We aim to lessen the strain around administrative tasks, and financial or employment worries for those affected. We work with governments, agencies and employers to raise awareness and to deliver education around family and hostage needs and best practice in family support during an incident.. Update to our constitution Over recent years we have been responding to the need to support those affected by arbitrary detentions, as well as other hostage situations. As such we amended our constitLrtion to reftect this change, which was approved by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 20 March 2024. Page 2
Hostage International Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Throughout the financial year 2023-2024, the number of people who reached out to us for support was similar to 2022-2023, which in turn had seen a rise on previous years, and with an increased need for support relating to arbitrary detentions. We have also witnessed an increase in individuals approaching us whose hostage experience occurred many years ago, highlighting the long-term impact of and need for support in these cases. Throughout these 12 months, more than 35 individuals approached us for support for the first time, leading to our team working with up to 70 people at any one time including those in need of our ongoing guidance and help. Throughout this financial year we continued to grow our global reach supporting individuals and families around the world in countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Indonesia, Iraq, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, Turkey, the UAE and the UK. We have also updated our website to be available in multiple languages. In October 2023, the types of challenges that hostages and their families face was drawn into sharp focus, and reported on widely, by the Israelil Gaza conflict in which. multiple hostages were taken. While highlighting the types of challenges that hostages and their families can face, this hostage crisis has also heightened the anxiety of those with loved ones held, particularly in the Middle East, and has been a trigger for some former hostages whom we support. However, as an independent and impartial charity, and despite numerous media approaches, we made the decision not to comment publicly,, but to continue our work to provide independent and impartial support to individuals of any nationality or religion affected by hostage-taking or arbitrary detentions outside their home country. In the last financial year, we shared our knowledge and best practice in family and hostage support with a number of organisations, which in 2023-24 included the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. In August 2023, we expanded our executive team to include a case manager to further grow our internal subject-matter expertise, particularly around the role of governments. The executive team is supported by our team of volunteers around the world, including those with specialist mental health expertise which is particularly necessary given the increased need for mental health support we are seeing. As well as working with specialist volunteers we have partners throughout the world including Trauma Treatment International, Phoenix Australia, and a number of private consultancies in Canada. This year, we have enabled more than 20 people countries to receive specialist mental health care. both family members and former hostages in five We have continued to deliver bespoke training, and ad-hoc advice when requested, around best practice in family support to corporate and non-profit organisations and governments around the world to help ensure that those in need will receive the help they require. In the UK. we organised a multinational government kidnap conference for the Five Eyes Partners (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US) with the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). The aim was to encourage learning through highlighting kidnap trends, and illustrating some of the complexities for those affected. As well as representatives from the FCDO and Hostage International, speakers included a fomer hostage, their employer and the mother of a hostage, as well as members of the media who have reported on hostage situations. Page 3
Hostsge International Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities - continued Our work in quietly advocating for better support for those affected by hostage-taking and arbitrary detention continues around the world, and has included: Our CEO, Lara Symons, spent time in Australia delivering training and working alongside our Hostage International Australian representatives to build connections to ensure that people in need can access our serwices. Also in Australia, we started work with our pro-bono legal partner Hogan Lovells to start influencing changes in legislation around Guardianship for Missing Persons to ensure that families can apply for guardianship when a loved one is kidnapped or detained. Under the current law, families are not eligible to apply for guardianship because the person held captive does not qualify a5 a missing person. This will be similar to work we did in the UK when our input was readily received and incorporated into UK legislation in 2019. In the UK, we contributed to the charty Redress's Protecting British Nationals Abroad from Human Rights Violations Principles for a legal right to consular assistance. Our aim is to encourage the government to encourage debate about how consular access to arbitrary detainees might be better addressed. Consular visits are extremely important for the wèlfare of detainees and communication with their families, so it is important for Hostage International to be encouraging discussion in this area and to be seen to be advocating for improvements. In June, our CEO attended the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism Kidnap for Ransom Project Expert Group Meeting in Rabat, Morocco, joining a panel around raising awareness of the impact of hostage-taking, and moderating a session with speakers including a family member and fomier hostage. Our continued growth in our international work has seen a corresponding rise in our speaker expenses, particularly as our CEO has travelled more widely to deliver essenti91 education and training to organisations and governments around the world. However, it is important to note that most of these expenses are reimbursed to the charity by the host, and this reimbursement is treated as income in our financial statements. Fundraising activities In March 2024, we held an event in the magnificent surroundings of the Central Criminal Court 'Old Bailey, in London, UK. We raised more than £17,000 and secured contacts who have subsequently gone on to support us further and to whom we are most grateful. Some other key achievements in this period have been-. Securing a final grant from Sigrid Rausing Trust. Receiving continued funding support from the UK'S FCDO. Delivering expert training around family support to governments and organisations, which not only secures revenue to ensure that we can continue delivering our services to our beneficiaries but highlights essential awareness around family and hostage support. Continuing to grow our pro-bono and volunteer support. In a bid to bring our team of volunteer caseworkers together, we invited our full team from around the world to attend the Old Bailey event, and the next day held in-person training for our caseworkers and team. We are also hugely grateful to all the individuals who have literally gone the extra mile for Hostage International, such as Adam Samuels who walked the Pennine Way in the UK, and Anoosheh Ashoori who ran his third UK London Marathon to help raise funds and awareness for Hostage International, as well as to all those whom we can't list here, but who continue to support us in other ways.

Hostage International Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Incomel receipts in the period increased over the prior year (£281,140 compared with £204,285 in 2022-23). The increase is largely attributable to an uplift in education training income following the international kidnap conference delivered in February 2024. Both Govemment grant income and fundraising event income increased in the year compared with the prior year. There was an increase in expenditure in the period over the prior year (£206,121 compared with £160,483 in 2022-23 which is attributable to higher spending on the cost of raising funds, the education programme and staffing costs. The charity's net assets increased in the year from £322,053 to £395,666. These assets are primarily the charity's cash balances with HSBC although a small bal•n is also retained with PayPal. Resenies policy Hostsge Intemational's reserves policy was established to ensure st&bility for the ongoing operations of the organisation. The policy requires that the charity retains a fund of not less than three months predicted running costs to provide a buffer against fluctuations in income or unexpected expenses. The charity continued to comply with its Reserves Policy throughout the financial year. Our current reserves at the end of this financial period will ensure the financial stability of the charity for the next years. We are aware that this level is high, but we are anticipating a reduction in our reseNes following the end of a period of generous funding from the Sigrid Rausing Trust and a potential downturn in our educational revenue as training budgets are under pressure. We are also anticipating increased costs as we extend our service provision and as our international work grows. With a potEntial downtum in accessing our historic funding, we are adapting our fundraising to explore alternative options. FUTURE PLANS Our anniversary has given us the opportunity us to reflect on our 20 years as a cbarity, during which we have supported over 400 individuals, and to ensure that we continue to adapt so that we can respond to the needs of those who reach out to us in the future. We plan to continue to expand our international reach, building our network of partnerships in the main countries in which we work. We also aim to develop improved support in various areas of our delivery, such as around family reintegration post-release. We will continue to develop our communication and engagement activities,. to support fundraising, but crucially to ensure that those in need know where to find us. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document The charity is controlled by its governing document (its constitullon) and is a charttable incorporated organisation. Statement of responsibilit(es of the trustees The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees, report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice}. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. Page 5
Hostage International Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Statement of responsibilities of the trustees - continued In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to.. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently- obseNe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; makejudgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent- state whether applicable accounting standards and statemeht8 of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,- and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial ststements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Day-to-day management of the charity continued to reside with the Chief Executive, supported by the Communications and Engagement Manager and Case Manager. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees We did not recruit any new trustees during this financial year. The board of seven trustees were satisfied that its composition met the needs of the charity during the year and provided the support and governance required to drive our charity foward to deliver the best possible service to our beneficiaries and all those affected by hostage-taking and arbitrary detention. However, in anticipation of a number of trustees stepping down from their role in the next 2-3 years, after many years of service, the board will be looking to appoint several new trustees in 2025 and 2026. Acknowledgements Our work has been made possible by the many individuals and organisations which dedicate their time and expertise free of charge to Hostage International. We would specifically like to thank Hogan Lovells LLP for the many hours of pro bono legal assistance given to our beneficiaries, and Trauma Treatment International for the excellent trauma support given to those beneficiaries most in need. Thank you also to Jones Day for their assistance with legal matters pertaining to the charity and for the use of their ofFice space. We would also like to thank Tom Hole of Stirtingdale Creative Design for his website support, and David Mapple of Outcider for his help around media monitoring. We would like to thank our government partners in the UK, Canada and Australia for their Continuing support and collaboration and the Sigrid Rausing Trust in particular for supporting our international work. We are also grateful for the ongoing collaboration with our fwo sister charities, Hostage US and Hostage Italia. We want to say a particular thank you to all our volunteers who provide dedicated and caring support to our beneficiaries throughout the year and to those who help raise our profile.
