Introduction
When a charity reaches o milestone in its developmenL there is often a moment ol reflection, not
just about where you ve been, but at￿￿1 the path loNard. For It Gets Better UK, 2024-25 was a year
ol significant expansion. We reached more communities, collecled more stories, and strengthened
the infrastructure thot allows us to deliver our mission sustoinably. The question that guided us was
clear.. how do we grow our reach while stoyiNJ true to our values?
The onswer ievealed itself through the dedicolion ol our Regionol Ambassador9 and volunteers. As
we attended Pride events in Scotland ond the Midlonds for tha lirst time, reoching ten Prides overall
th a combined reach ol over 270.000 p80ple. and gath8red hundreds of new stories, we
witngssed the transformotive power ol locol leadership. Each new Regional Ambassador brought
not just their time and enefgy. but their deep understonding of their communities needs. They
creoted spoces where LGBTQ+ p80ple could shore theirlou￿ often for the first time.
Growth, however, brings its own chollenges. How do we ensure quolity whilst expanding? How do
we support volunteers ocross the Count￿ How do we build financial resilience to sustoin our work
long-term? In 2024-25. we took deliberote steps to address these questions. We oppointed three
part-time leadership roles, a Volunteer Monager, Social Medio Monager, and CEO, to provide
structure and support. We diversilied our income through grants and corporate partnerships, We
created systems and processes tIKrt wll olow us to scole responsibly.
stlll, our greatest achievement this year wasn't measured in numbers though the statistics are
encouraglng.. 5.100 video views (up 52%), 106 hours ol wotch tlme, stories collected across ten citleg.
What mottered most were the moments we witnessed, the young person who took time to reflect
on their messoge to their younger self. the volunt8er who felt tronslormed by the conversotions
thèy hod. thè viewér who lèft o commènt saying simpty. Ihonk you for inspiring ma."
Th9S9 moments remind us why our work matters. In o world where LGBTQ+ young pgople still fac9
disproportionote chollenges. our archive of hopg serves as o lifeline. Every story we collecL every
Pride stoll we stoff, every video we shore reinforces a simplg iyJt powertul message.. you are not
alone, your identity is valid, ond it gels better.
To our trustees, who provide slrotegic guidance and governance with unwavering commitmenL
thank you. To our Regional Ambassadors and volunteers, who give countless houis to staff events,
gather stories, and spread hope in their communities your dedication is the foundation of
everything we do. To our corwr(rte partners and donors, whose financial support allows us to plan
confidently for the future, we ore deepty grateful. To the LGBTQ+ people who have shared thelr
stories with vulnerability and courage. you are ehangirwJ lives.
As we look ahead, we do so wth optimism ar)d clarity of purFxise. This year has shown us that when
we combine wssionate volunteers wtth sustainable inlrastructure. we can reach more young
people than ever before. Thejourney continues. and we are honoured to walk it together.

**Inspire LGBT (operating as It Gets Better UK) Independent Examiners Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Inspire LGBT (operating as It Gets Better UK)** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Inspire LGBT (operating as It Gets Better UK) for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I can 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: 

- the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
