As Chair of Every Casualty Counts, it is once again my privilege to introduce this year's Annual Report, a record of the work, partnerships and people through which we have pursued our shared commitment to ensuring that every life lost to armed violence is recognised and recorded. The need for that work has, regrettably, only grown. The conflicts which dominated our attention in 2024, in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, and beyond, have continued to deepen, and the value of the casualty recording field has never been clearer.

For ECC, the year saw important steps forward in our governance and organisational maturity. We welcomed four new Trustees to the Board, each bringing complementary expertise in fundraising, human rights, journalism, advocacy and atrocity prevention. Alongside other advances in our programmes detailed below, we also deepened our engagement with the UN human rights system, including statements to the Human Rights Council on the situations in Ukraine and South Sudan.

Doubtless, 2026 will bring fresh challenges. The funding environment for human rights and peace work continues to narrow, and the conflicts our partners document sadly show no sign of abating. But I can speak for myself, my fellow trustees and the ECC team when I say that I feel sure the foundations we have laid in 2025 - the expanded team, the strengthened network, the broader public profile - leave us well placed to meet what comes next.

With deepest gratitude,

Chair of the Board

Every Casualty Counts is a unique organisation that focuses exclusively on promoting and supporting effective recording of all casualties of armed violence, wherever they occur. To do this, we work with civil society, states, and intergovernmental organisations around the world.

Our work spans both current and historic contexts involving armed conflict and human rights violations. The rapid developments in information technology and news media over the past decade have had a substantial impact on this field. Both the potential and the need to record accurate, verifiable information on casualties is greater than ever before.

We are not affiliated to any political organisation or movement.

2025 was a year of consolidation and ambition for ECC. Our two flagship capacity-building programmes, supporting casualty recorders in Ukraine and across East Africa, matured significantly. In Ukraine, our partners UHHRU and the Ukraine Memorial Platform completed major new policies on ethics, cybersecurity and disinformation, while continuing the painstaking work of documenting individual lives lost. Across East Africa, our colleagues in 17 partner organisations, working in some of the most under-reported and dangerous environments in the world, drafted their first formal casualty recording methodologies, completed an extensive programme of online training, and gathered in Hargeisa and Kampala for ECC's residential workshops that built lasting bonds across the network. Their resilience in the face of the disruption caused by the wider freeze on US government funding was, frankly, humbling.

In November, ECC also launched Memorial 2025: a global memorialisation project produced in collaboration with many members of the Casualty Recorders Network, telling the stories of individuals killed in armed conflict around the world. The project was launched at large public remembrance events in central London and has since reached audiences in seventy countries and twenty languages. For an organisation of our size, this kind of reach is remarkable, and it speaks to the universal moral weight of the work that our network undertakes every day.

Alongside our programme growth, we also made real progress this year on broadening our financial base and our public profile. We invested time in systematically researching and engaging new trust and foundation funders in the UK and US, deepened our relationships with peace, faith and humanitarian networks, and reached individual supporters at a scale we have never achieved before. While trusts and foundations will continue to be central to our funding model, we are laying the foundations for a greater diversity of income streams, which the Trustees feel will have long term benefits. Thanks to the generosity of our funders – new and old – we had a very positive year financially, with income of £244,933, an increase of approximately 50% on 2024.

None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary commitment of ECC's small staff team, our partners across the Casualty Recorders Network, and our generous funders and supporters. The members of the Network in particular, many of whom work at significant personal risk, remain the heart of everything ECC does. To them, and to all who have supported this work in 2025, I offer my profound thanks.

ECC Executive Director

All at ECC would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to every member of the Casualty Recorders Network. Your commitment to documenting and memorialising those killed in armed conflict is a service to all humanity, and it is a privilege to work alongside you.

ECC's work would not be possible without the financial support of our funders and individual donors. We are deeply grateful to all those who recognise the importance of this work and help us to make it happen. In particular, we would like to thank the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust for its consistent support and encouragement over many years. This multi-year and flexible funding has enabled us to plan effectively, respond to crises as needed, and made our activities and expenditure more efficient.

We would also like to thank the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defence, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade of the Grand-Duché of Luxembourg for its renewed support for casualty recording in Ukraine. Casualty records are an important tool not only for accountability but also for countering weaponised misinformation in hybrid warfare. The availability of verified, consistent information about the human cost of armed conflict remains a vital defensive resource.

We are also grateful to the National Endowment for Democracy for their continued support of our capacity-building work with casualty recorders in East Africa. Also to the Network for Social Change, and the many other trusts, foundations and individuals who supported our work in 2025. Your recognition of the importance of this work is testament to the value of each life lost, and our shared commitment to ensuring none are forgotten.

EVERY cnsuALTY COUNTS . 2025 IMPACT REVIEW *LP •llllV mGge.'Shutt9rstoGk

As the creator and convenor of the world's only Casualty Recorders Network (CRN), naturally a main priority for ECC in 2025 was helping CRN members increase their capacity to apply the Standards for Casualty Recording effectively, to improve the quality and impact of their casualty recording work. We worked with CRN members in multiple countries to help them find the most suitable solutions for their own environment, aims, and resources.

During 2025 we also collaborated with CRN members to educate policy makers, news media and the public about casualty recording in a variety of contexts. ECC continued working closely with diplomats, UN staff and other international experts to improve states' understanding and implementation of their casualty recording obligations. We made statements at the UN Human Rights Council on the conflicts in Ukraine and South Sudan, and facilitated direct engagement between East African CRN members and OHCHR staff in Somalia and Geneva. In London, we held an exhibition, 'Lost Childhoods', in the House of Commons to memorialise the lives of hundreds of children lost in the Ukraine war, and also spoke outside the DSEI Arms Trade Fair, one of the largest in the world, in solidarity with protesters gathered outside.

ECC also began work to establish a Standards and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC), a formal peer-review structure made up of ten experienced members of the Casualty Recorders Network, to assess CRN members' conformance with the Standards. Work on this important mechanism continued into 2026.

70+ Members of the Casualty Recorders Network operate across nearly every inhabited continent — the only network of its kind in the world.

10

ECC continued working with CRN members from Ukraine, namely the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union (UHHRU) and the Ukraine Victims Memorial (UMP), to support the documentation of casualties. With renewed support from the Government of Luxembourg, we helped both organisations develop and finalise major new policies. UMP finalised and translated its methodology and nine related documents into English, drafted and finalised a written Code of Ethics, and commissioned an independent penetration test of its website. All key documents including their methodology and Code of Ethics have been published on their website, to support transparency as per the Standards. UHHRU drafted internal guidance on Cybersecurity, Information Security and Data Protection, and began developing a Disinformation Policy.

During 2025, UMP published 2,504 stories about civilian and military war casualties, bringing its total to 11,677 individual life stories since 2022. UHHRU provided legal support for compensation claims of 79 victims of the conflict, and assisted 151 people seeking criminal prosecutions related to the conflict (noting that these figures for UHHRU cover the period December 2025 to April 2026).

2025 saw a particular focus on the deepening of our East Africa capacity-building project, supported by the National Endowment for Democracy, which supported 17 organisations across the region. Key milestones included the translation of the Standards for Casualty Recording into Somali; six expert-led training webinars; two in-person residential training workshops (in Hargeisa in August and Kampala in November); and the development and delivery of two online training modules covering Chapters 1 to 5 of the Standards. Topics covered included methodology, data and staff security, geolocation, community-based casualty recording, and advocacy. By year-end, all participating organisations had drafted casualty recording methodologies for the first time, and 13 had completed both online training modules.

Despite a significant disruption in early 2025 caused by the temporary freeze of NED funding and the wider USAID cuts - which directly affected many of the participating organisations - the project remained on track. ECC drew on its reserves to cover essential project costs during the freeze, and NED funds were restored within a few weeks.

In November 2025 ECC launched Memorial 2025, a global memorialisation project highlighting the unique life behind every war fatality statistic. The project was produced in collaboration with many members of the Casualty Recorders Network, and included 129 individual stories of people killed in armed conflict during 2024. The project was launched as a multi-lingual website (https://memorial.everycasualty.org) and through public events in London on Remembrance Sunday, held in partnership with the Peace Pledge Union and Quakers in Britain.

The London events on 9 November 2025 began with the National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony in Tavistock Square, which drew record attendance of around 300 people, roughly double recent years. Actor and peace campaigner Sir Mark Rylance spoke at the ceremony, reflecting on the impact current wars are having, especially on children. Rylance said that Remembrance Sunday should serve as a moment to “refocus our every effort to avert war” and that it is “an offence not to remember” civilian suffering. Other attendees of note were present, including UK Green Party Leader Zack Polanski. He drew praise from peace campaigners for wearing a white poppy alongside his red one at the Cenotaph, an act seen as a quiet challenge to the overwhelming military focus of mainstream remembrance.

The day culminated with a 'Virtual Cenotaph' outdoor light projection of stories from the Memorial Project onto Friends House on the Euston Road, memorialising people killed in war in 2024 across many armed conflicts around the globe. At both launch events, ECC Director Rachel Taylor spoke and, alongside representatives of the partner organisations, gave readings of the stories from Memorial 2025, in solemn reflection with the assembled crowds.

Online, the project has since reached users in 70 countries accessing the material in 20 languages.

Beyond its commemorative purpose, the project introduced ECC's work to thousands of new individuals, peace groups, faith communities and journalists who had not previously encountered the field of casualty recording. The public launch events in central London generated significant interest from related peace and faith groups. Materials from the project were also used by activist networks in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Canada, including at the long-standing demonstration outside the Russian Embassy in Dublin.

Every name recorded is a life acknowledged. From Srebrenica to Ukraine, memorials around the world insist that those killed in conflict are remembered as individuals — the same conviction that drives Memorial 2025 and the daily work of the Casualty Recorders Network.

Every Casualty Worldwide is incorporated in England and Wales and is a company limited by guarantee, company registration number 09082055. On 6 May 2016 Every Casualty Worldwide became a Charity registered in England and Wales, number 1166974. Its operations are governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 2016 (as amended 2022). In 2021, the Trustees decided to use Every Casualty Counts as a working name. ECC complies fully with both the letter and spirit of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation 2018, which was effective from 25 May 2018.

ECC's objects are for the public benefit. They are:

• to advance education and research in the practice of and procedures for recording casualties resulting from armed violence;

• to promote national and international conflict resolution and reconciliation for the public benefit with a view to saving lives and relieving suffering and distress including by (but not limited to) the following means:

• Promoting the careful recording of casualties and providing technical advice on the methodology and practice of casualty recording;

• Research into any aspect of the recording of casualties resulting from armed violence, including its practice, procedures, development and impacts; Raising awareness of, and promoting support for, the careful recording of casualties;

provided that all activities shall be balanced and shall maintain or enhance ECC's commitment to remaining impartial.

The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are:

• The development and support of the practice of casualty recording through (a) research and knowledge exchange into existing practice, and (b) the collaborative development and promotion with practitioners and end users of international standards for the field.

• Advocacy to states, UN bodies, and other international agencies, to strengthen and expand support of casualty recording in both policy and practice. Communication and awareness raising among the general public on the subject of casualty recording, including its benefits, current limitations, and how it may be improved.

There have been no changes to these policies during the year. The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission under the Charities Act 2011 in deciding what activities ECC should undertake.

17

During 2025, ECC welcomed four new Trustees to the Board: Negah Angha, Fiona Lloyd-Davies, Elisabeth Pramendorfer and Harriet Scott, all appointed on 31 March 2025. The new Trustees were recruited through advertising, recommendations and other sources, with the Board proactively seeking candidates to complement the skill set, expertise and demographics of existing Trustees. Trustees must be at least 18 years of age and should not be trustees or staff members of any member organisation of the Casualty Recorders Network.

The Board primarily contributes to the governance and good management of ECC through quarterly board meetings, with additional meetings as required. Its role is one of governance and strategic oversight. It approves the budget, operational and strategic plans, and appoints the Chair and Chief Executive. The day to day running of the charity is managed by the Executive Director, with decisions taken and limits to authority governed by ECC's delegated authority framework.

Trustee induction is tailored to the individual requirements of Trustees, but in all cases involves a review of the strategic plan, annual budget, and minutes of previous Board meetings. All new Trustees are provided with Charity Commission guidance for Trustees and opportunities for training.

ECC has no formal links with other organisations, but works closely with many in the field of casualty recording and related issues, both in the UK and overseas. This includes, but is not limited to, members of the international Casualty Recorders Network. ECC sometimes receives restricted funding from donors to support casualty recording activities in particular contexts. In 2025, £32,429 was transferred in grants to partner organisations UHHRU and UMP for casualty recording in Ukraine, in line with ECC's organisational strategy and donor requirements.

No Trustee received any remuneration from ECC in 2025 (2024: £nil). None of the Trustees were reimbursed expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, although ECC's policies allow for such reimbursement when requested.

18

The Trustees confirm that they are satisfied that adequate control actions and monitoring processes are in place to mitigate the charity's exposure to major risks. The major risks which the Charity faces have been identified as: Operational, Reputational, Financial, Human Resources, Governance. Appropriate actions to mitigate against the potential impact of each of these risk categories are considered on an ongoing basis as part of the Risk Management process. They are summarised as follows:

The risk of injury or death to employees is minimised through application of ECC's Health and Safety policy. ECC's travel policy applies to employees and consultants travelling overseas and includes completion of a risk assessment for each trip, monitoring travel advice from FCDO and adhering to a security protocol where relevant. ECC staff do not have contact directly with persons considered vulnerable under UK safeguarding legislation but nevertheless ECC has a safeguarding policy and all new staff complete safeguarding training. We require project partners to sign safeguarding agreements as part of any collaboration. ECC ensures the security of its IT systems and data through outsourced professional IT services support. During the year ECC reviewed and updated its policies on the handling of cash and international money transfers, as part of our ongoing annual reviews of financial policies and procedures.

The field in which ECC operates is inherently sensitive and potentially controversial. ECC aims to exercise the highest levels of professional ethics, transparency and accuracy at all times. In all our activities, particularly those with public exposure, we ensure a strict focus on the specificities of casualty recording and related human rights issues, but avoid engaging on broader political issues. ECC conducts thorough due diligence checks on all potential donors, partners and/or members of the Casualty Recorders Network before undertaking any collaboration. The potential risk from project partners misreporting on activities is addressed through clear written agreements and regular monitoring.

19

The funding situation for charities operating in this field is extremely challenging. ECC is constantly seeking to identify new sources of funding to mitigate against potential shortfalls or changes of focus from existing donors. We operate a full costs recovery model in fundraising and maintain a minimum of six months' operating costs in unrestricted reserves. The Board reviews cashflow at least quarterly to ensure that any potential shortfall in income or reduction in reserves is anticipated and addressed in good time. During 2025 the wider freeze on funding from the USA and other governments had significant indirect impacts on ECC's programme delivery. This experience reinforced the importance of maintaining a healthy reserves position and continuing to diversify income sources. Foreign exchange losses are monitored and we seek good value for money in banking and exchange services. ECC is exploring new ways to raise funds, in addition to existing reliance on trusts, foundations and governments. These may potentially include individual and major donor giving programmes.

As a small organisation, staff changeover can result in a significant loss of institutional knowledge. ECC mitigates against this through ensuring knowledge is widely shared across staff, clear processes and project management tools are in place, and information is clearly archived. All work is stored in ECC's cloud services and not on employees' own devices. ECC is expanding its staff team as funding allows, to reduce excessive concentration of knowledge and responsibility in a few key individuals.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the Governance of ECC. It meets at least quarterly and approves the budget, operational and strategic plans, appoints the Chair and Chief Executive, and approves overall policy in relation to staff employment. It reviews cashflow and forecasts at each meeting. ECC has clear policies on conflicts of interest, and all Trustees sign a code of conduct. All policies are routinely reviewed and updated as required, with assistance from a professional human resources consultant. The recruitment, appointment, induction and training of Trustees is detailed under the Structure, Governance and Management section of this report. Financial procedures are reviewed annually, and all expenditure requires at least two levels of approval.

20

The Trustees confirm that internal control procedures are in place in order to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:

• Comprehensive financial policies and procedures.

• Internal audit of financial procedures.

• Comprehensive system of annual budgets, approved by the Trustees, and financial

• reporting of actuals against budget.

• Regular forecasting of predicted income and cashflow.

• Regular monitoring of reserves policy.

• Annual review of the charity's risk register.

ECC's income in 2025 was £244,933, an increase of approximately 50% on the 2024 income of £163,292. This increase was driven by continued multi-year funding from the National Endowment for Democracy for our East Africa capacity-building project, continued support from the Government of Luxembourg for our Ukraine work, and continuing and increasing support from a range of UK and US trusts and foundations including the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, the Network for Social Change, and the Souter Charitable Trust.

2025 was a year in which ECC took deliberate steps to broaden both its public profile and its base of financial support, in line with the financial diversification strategy set out by the Board.

In parallel, ECC undertook a structured programme of new funder research and outreach during 2025, systematically identifying UK and US trusts and foundations whose grant-making priorities align with our work. This pipeline approach has begun to deliver results and will continue into 2026. Alongside this we are developing plans for a more strategic individual giving programme, building on the audiences reached as mentioned above.

During the year, ECC continued investing in fundraising. In 2025, ECC spent £23,147 on raising funds (2024: £22,028).

Expenditure on charitable activities was higher than the previous year, at approximately £185,841 (2024: £81,580). This reflected the scaling up of programme activity, particularly the East Africa capacity-building project (including two in-person training events) and the launch of Memorial 2025. Expenditure on charitable activities as a percentage of total expenditure was approximately 89% (2024: 80%).

The unrestricted reserve as at 31st December 2025 was £106,124 (2024: £67,322). Total charity funds at 31st December 2025 were £145,657 (2024: £109,712).

The number of employed staff continued to grow during the year. Staffing costs for the year increased to approximately £92,155 (2024: £65,925). This increase reflects the expanded team and a full year of costs for staff appointed in 2024.

22

ECC's sources of funding in 2025 were:

----- Start of picture text -----
Trusts and Foundations £158,946 · 65%
2024: £93,671 (57%)
Government Grants £41,190 · 17%
2024: £46,931 (29%)
Individual Donors £42,540 · 17%
2024: £21,996 (14%)
----- End of picture text -----

As part of our risk management strategy, ECC strives to maintain a range of funding sources and to avoid over reliance on specific funders. We aim to continue diversifying our income streams over the coming years.

During 2025 ECC made deliberate progress towards this aim through a structured programme of new funder research and outreach increased engagement with peace and humanitarian networks, and initial planning for a more developed individual giving programme. The Board considers building a more diversified income base - less dependent on a small number of large institutional grants - to be a strategic priority for 2026 and beyond.

23

It is the policy of ECC that the organisation must hold a minimum level of unrestricted reserves (defined as the assets which are easily available in the short term, for example, cash, current monies owned) equivalent to at least six months' of expenditure costs. ECC has set a planned upper limit on our targeted unrestricted reserve level of 12 months' average running costs so that we do not hold funds back from delivering our charitable activities unnecessarily. ECC aims to manage our reserves within the upper and lower reserve limits 'reserve corridor'. The Board monitor reserves at its quarterly meetings, to identify risks and corrective actions as required.

ECC's unrestricted reserve at 31st December 2025 stood at a total of £106,124 (2024: £67,322), comprising £62,000 of funds designated to ensure ECC can cover 3 months running costs and £44,124 of general unrestricted. This is well within the range of our reserves policy, with £39,533 restricted income funds carried forward to 2026 (2024: £42,390).

The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue ECC's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The Trustees judge that the level of reserves maintained throughout 2025 were sufficient for the Charity to gain the new resources necessary to allow essential operations to proceed into 2026.

ECC does not make sub-grants to other organisations, except where these are indicated in funding agreements with donors (see 'Related Parties'). Before entering any sub-granting agreement, ECC undertakes extensive due diligence checks on the proposed recipient organisation, its senior staff and other significant related persons. Grants are subject to detailed written agreements and monitored to ensure that funds are spent on charitable purposes and that strict principles of governance are maintained. ECC complies with all requirements of the Charity Commission guidance on monitoring end use of funds and managing risks when working internationally.

24

The Trustees (who are also directors of Every Casualty Worldwide for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company Law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent. State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed. Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
