Keeping Our Girls Safe (KOGS) - Charity Number 1163099 - Trustees' Annual Report & CEO Foreword for the Year Ending 2025
CEO Foreword
This year has been one of significant challenge and meaningful progress for Keeping Our Girls Safe. The wider political landscape has created uncertainty across the safeguarding and youth sectors, and while the raised public awareness of grooming, exploitation, and violence has been long overdue, it has also brought a substantial increase in demand for our services. More families are reaching out, more professionals are seeking guidance, and more young people are disclosing experiences that require immediate, specialist support.
This increased visibility has undoubtedly created additional pressure on the team - and they have risen to this with professionalism, compassion, and resilience. Their commitment to safeguarding children and supporting survivors remains unwavering, even as the complexity and volume of cases continue to grow.
There is also a sense of change emerging nationally. Whether through local reviews or the potential for a national inquiry, the sector is moving toward a deeper understanding of grooming and exploitation. KOGS is determined to be part of that conversation. We want to contribute to policy change, ensuring that the lived experiences of young people and families inform the systems designed to protect them. Our insight, our practice, and our holistic approach place us in a strong position to influence this work.
Innovation has always been central to who we are. Our holistic model - supporting people at different stages of their journey, recognising the whole person, and adapting to their needs - continues to prove its value. As we look ahead, we remain committed to evolving, advocating, and standing alongside those who trust us.
