Stamp out Suicide Limited
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. 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
Our Mission
Stamp Out Suicide (SOS) provides a free, confidential telephone counselling service to individuals across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales who are experiencing suicidal thoughts. Additionally, SOS works to raise awareness of suicide prevention within communities across the UK.
Our Work
We offer suicide prevention training to individuals from diverse backgrounds. Our belief is that by equipping more people with the knowledge and skills to intervene, we can help reduce the suicide rate across the country.
Our Services
SOS provides professional, confidential counselling via phone to those struggling with suicidal thoughts. Individuals can reach out via text, and a fully qualified counsellor will return their call, providing support for as long as necessary. While the charity is based in Warrington, our counsellors operate remotely from various locations across the UK.
Public benefit
In reviewing our goals and planning for the future, we have adhered to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The trustees carefully assess how each of our activities contributes to our mission and objectives.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Progress Since 2019
Since 2019, the charity has continued to expand its suicide-prevention work, delivering training to individuals across the UK and Ireland. To date, over 150 people have been trained in suicide awareness and intervention skills. The charity remains committed to increasing access to this training, particularly within communities identified as being at higher risk.
Key Activities in 2024-2025
During the year, the charity delivered suicide-prevention training sessions on the Isle of Man, in Warrington, and via online platforms, allowing participants to access training regardless of location. These sessions focused on recognising warning signs, having safe conversations, and signposting individuals to appropriate sources of support.
In addition to the training activity, the charity staged a touring theatrical production focused on suicide awareness and lived experience. Performances took place in Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington and London. The production aimed to encourage open discussion around suicide, reduce stigma, promote help-seeking behaviour, and raise funds to support the charity's work.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Our financial strategy ensures that the charity maintains sufficient funds to cover operational expenses at all times, providing financial stability and continuity of service.
FUTURE PLANS
Looking ahead, the charity plans to continue fundraising through a range of community-based events and initiatives. The charity also plans to extend the tour of its suicide-awareness theatrical production during late 2025, reaching additional locations across the UK. This work will further support the charity's objective of improving public understanding of suicide prevention and enabling communities to contribute to reducing suicide risk.
The charity continues to receive growing support from donors and volunteers. The trustees are committed to building on this momentum throughout 2025 and beyond, ensuring the charity remains sustainable while increasing its reach and impact.
