It also works to advance the education of the public in harm reduction and psychedelic care services in particular but not exclusively by:- (a) the provision of information and advice and (b) the provision of lectures and fora. ## _**Activities**_ PsyCare UK Welfare & Harm Reduction provides a fully staffed 24-hour service to events and festivals across the UK. We specialise in providing non-medical crisis intervention services and harm reduction information and advice. Harm reduction information is given both orally and through the display and distribution of printed materials. We recruit a large team of experienced volunteers to enable us to provide this service and all new volunteers receive comprehensive training. We own four mobile canvas-based structures which can be set-up onsite at events, our onsite operations are run from these structures. These structures allow us to provide the following: - - a quiet and safe space for those who require our support, - a space to display and administer harm reduction information and advice, and to house more noisy or active guests, and - a space to provide our volunteers with food. The operations do not present major risks as we are providing only non-medical advice and guidance, and using people who are trained to provide these services. With good governance in mind the Charity continues to review and develop policies and procedures. The following new policy was adopted by the Charity during this financial year: Bullying & Harassment Policy. ## _**Public benefit**_ The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 2 **PsyCare UK Welfare & Harm Reduction Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025** ## **Achievements and Performance** The Charity delivered harm reduction and welfare services at a total of 13 events over the course of the year. This created 234 volunteering opportunities and resulted in over 4000 volunteer hours donated. Across the 13 events the Charity supported over 563 people through difficult experiences. Prior to the event season in 2024, the Charity appointed 25 Event Coordinators. The Event Coordinators were trained by the Charity to take on-site responsibility for the delivery of PsyCare services as events. This has removed a huge amount of pressure from the core team, enabling them to focus on broader operational and strategic objectives. In May 2024 the Charity delivered its annual two-day training to over 100 new volunteers. This enabled the Charity to provide a comprehensive training package which consists of both didactic and experiential learning and equips the volunteers to deliver the very high standard of care that is expected from PsyCare UK. In March 2025 the Charity delivered its first training session open to the general public. ‘De-escalating Psychedelic Crisis’ was a two-day in-person training which attracted 48 participants, bringing in valuable income to the Charity. The feedback from participants on the training was excellent. The Charity plans to run the training on a regular basis. Personnel from the Charity have delivered talks at various conferences and educational institutions - Street Drugs Wales; Compassionate Mental Health, PsyEdu, University of York, University of Greenwich. ## **Financial Review** The Trustees are pleased with the performance of the Charity which achieved another strong year in terms of income. The events industry is experiencing a number of challenges at present and smaller independent event organisers in particular are struggling. The Trustees are aware that some events will not be going ahead next year. The challenging climate may make the securing of new bookings more difficult. The Trustees have been assured that additional efforts are being made to consolidate existing relationships and to seek out new business. The Charity aims to hold unrestricted reserves of at least three months operating costs and as at 31 March 2025 has Unrestricted Reserves of £29,911 which meets this goal. ## _**Principle Sources of Funds**_ The principal source of funds for the charity is income from delivering welfare and harm reduction services at events. The charity also receives a substantial number of small donations from members of the public. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## _**Nature of governing document**_ The Charity is governed by a ‘Foundation’ model constitution registered 19 May 2016 and amended 27 January 2018 and 26 March 2024 and operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. 3 **PsyCare UK Welfare & Harm Reduction Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025** ## _**Recruitment and appointment of Trustees**_ Trustees are appointed by the other Trustees as vacancies arise or the Trustees feel the governance can be improved by inviting additional Trustees to join the Charity Trustees. Trustees are appointed for a term of 3 years and are required to retire and be re-appointed after 3 years. ## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_ The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. This is reviewed annually. The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the Charity on 22nd January 2026 and signed on its behalf by: Ben Holden Secretary 4 **PsyCare UK Welfare & Harm Reduction Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025** ## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to charities 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 of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards 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 business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, 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.
