Jacob Abraham Foundation Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The objects are suicide intervention (1:1 counselling for vulnerable adults and school children), suicide prevention (training and education) and postvention (bereavement support). This reporting year, the Jacob Abraham Foundation continued delivering on all three objects.
JAF is fully aware of the Charity Commission’s guidelines on public benefit when we planned our activities every year. JAF took the summary of the object and produced these objectives to drive us: -Suicide Brief Intervention Training (prevention). -Support families and friends bereaved through suicide (postvention). -1:1 counselling for suiciding people (intervention).
During this reporting year, the JAF’s contribution to the reduction of suicides and general mental health education, was recognised through partnerships and collaborations with over 40 other organisations and government agencies. Suicide bereavement services continued to grow in Gwent. Founder Nicola Abraham was recognised for her activities in the public benefit with the award of an MBE.
The JAF has contributed towards the Co-Alc Alliance that is a collaboration between charities and academics at The University of South Wales, to better understand the relationship with cocaine, alcohol and suicide, to make more people aware of the risk of sudden death and suicide when cocaine and alcohol are metabolised in the liver.
JAF was still heavily involved with Play Therapy for children bereaved through suicide, recognising the pressures on children and providing them with coping strategies to last a life-time.
All trustees are aware of the declaration and all meetings have the items above on the standing agenda as the main order of business.
All trustees are aware of the guidance issued by the commission on public benefit.
Public Benefit
The Jacob Abraham Foundation aims to help prevent suicide through direct interventions with vulnerable people, raise awareness on mental health / suicide issues, promote positive mental health and support people bereaved through suicide in Wales.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Objectives, strategies and activities
The charity’s main achievements this year was to continue to build on the success of previous years to fulfil the charity objectives and help vulnerable people.
Members of the Jacob Abraham Foundation advise the Welsh Government on suicide strategy and are involved in numerous local and national charities and bodies to advise on the provision of suicide services. The JAF’s reputation continues to grow, especially with services to local health trusts and the Gwent Police.
The recruitment of professional and dedicated staff has enabled the JAF to make a measurable and lasting impact. During the reporting period, the charity has saved dozens of lives, supported hundreds of individuals who are bereaved or vulnerable due to suicide, and educated thousands of people to better understand suicide prevention and effective intervention.
The JAF has also invested in targeted educational initiatives addressing the heightened suicide risk associated with cocaine and alcohol use, helping to raise awareness among those most affected. In addition, the charity has broadened its preventative work by organising community events focused on key contributing factors such as gambling, menopause, and relationship breakdowns. The introduction of Play Therapy to JAF’s range of services has provided children bereaved by suicide with valuable coping mechanisms and emotional support.
The charity actively seeks feedback across all its services to ensure quality and continual improvement. Feedback received during the reporting period has been overwhelmingly positive, reaffirming that JAF’s approach meets the needs of those it supports. Ongoing feedback also highlights that JAF continues to lead the way in suicide prevention training, intervention, and bereavement support. The charity’s bespoke Suicide Brief Intervention Training, developed from the lived experiences and professional expertise of its staff, has successfully equipped many individuals within the local community with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively
By reducing the suicide rate the JAF are saving the economy millions of pounds and preventing the needless suffering of 100s of people.

Jacob Abraham Foundation Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Objectives, strategies and activities - continued
Hannah Lawton, Chief Inspector of Gwent Police has been assisting the charity and is in the process of becoming a trustee. This reflects our growing partnership with Police Forces, specifically Gwent, and the role that both organisations can play in reducing the suicide rate and raising awareness.
The Gwent Project provides suicide bereavement support with 84 vulnerable people being helped through 43 Police referrals. Furthermore, JAF were allocated £25k by the Aneurin Bevan Health Trust for the service and £20k from the National Lottery for bereavement services.
The JAF were also involved with the Blackwood mural project at the Chartist Bridge to help reduce suicide rates locally. A poem was written to commemorate the mural project and the JAF were instrumental in planning and local education workshops.
Bryn Morgan also met Julie Morgan AM at the Sennedd to discuss the national bereavement services and how the smaller local charities were having to pick up much of the tasking despite the national service being in place.
Furthermore, the JAF is now accredited as an ASSIST training provider, which is a global leading standard in suicide prevention training. This provides us with an industry recognised training course and the ability to generate income.
Nicola Abraham, the JAF founder, was awarded an MBE, by Princess Ann at Windsor Palace, for her work in suicide prevention and education. The bittersweet moment was recognition of Nicola’s drive and commitment to reducing suicide nationally and it shows that the work of the JAF employees has been recognised at the highest level
Grant making policies
No grantmaking or investing was made by the charity. Volunteer contributions were growing again post-pandemic. In this period our main goals were: the recruitment of experienced counsellors, development of a safe working environment and establishing all services to fulfil the objectives in our bid to the National Lottery.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The National Lottery, People and Places funding, has provided the much-needed funding and stability for the charity to provide all three services until the end of 2026. Securing the funding was critical for the charity and will provide the funding to provide services and look for more sustainable funding going forward.
The Jacob Abraham Foundation’s ongoing award of the Gwent Project has provided further dedicated funding to allow the charity to deliver valuable services in Gwent and demonstrate the ability to be a partner to local government services.
The JAF’s expenditure is overwhelmingly on staff salaries and office rental costs. The office provides a place of work, an area for training and a safe place for 1:1 services. The salary expenditure is crucial for the staff to provide the key objectives and will always be the main source of expenditure.
The funds are held in the charity bank account and a high interest savings account. Trustees have no plans to invest the funds but regularly monitor the savings rates to get the best return on investment without risking the capital.
JAF organised and ad hoc fundraising has once again played a heart-warming part in funding the JAF. The public support and constant stream of activities shows how much support the local community has for the JAF.
Funding from the National Lottery has been vital to the continued success of the charity and the grants will enable it to look for means to be long term self-sufficient. Local fund-raising efforts are always welcome and comforting that the local community recognise our place in their lives. However, we need sustainable funding and contracts with Public Health Wales and partnerships with Gwent Police are encouraging going forward. Life in the charity sector is tough for a small organisation but the feedback from our users keeps us motivated and encouraged for the future.
Reserves Policy
The charity aimed to hold at least £100,000 in reserves to cover salary commitments.
Plans for future periods
Aims and key objectives for future periods
The Jacob Abraham Foundation is always at capacity. This once again demonstrates that the demand for suicide prevention services are huge. Small charities face constant struggles to maintain funding to provide life-saving services. The JAF is proud of its services in the reporting period, despite the toll it can take on employees. The daily work, the product of lived experiences, and ground breaking new training and research into the cocaine/alcohol/suicide relationship, shows what inspirational service the employees provide.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 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 adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
