BIGMOOSE CHARITY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 202S FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Our main focub as a charity IS to continue growing our incomc and diversifying our rcv¢nu¢ streams so wc can meet the rising demand for support. Referr21% ha￿.¢ in¢rea%ed by 130.5 70 year on year and this gr()wth is largely driven by event8 but iiiainly word of mouth. When people graduate from our Service and have a positive experience, they sh£ire their story and the ripple effect brings more people to us who iieed help. Jn early 2022, we built our own bespoke software to track referrals and gather valuable data insights. This system has proven invaluable over the past few years, enabling us to make informed and strategic decisions. A recent development has been the introduction of a 'tagging feature, allowing us to record the key challenges clients are facing for example,financial worries. anxiety, relationship difficulties, or eating disorders. This level of ddail gives us a much dc¢pcr undcrstanding of how our service is being used and whcre thc greatest needs lie. It 21s0 strengthens our grant applications, as we ¢2n evidence the areas where demand is highest. Impurtantly, it dlluws us to create fovused proje¢ts and inteiventions that respond direitly to the issues we k)re seeing most regularly. Prineipgl risk$ and uncertaintie$ Likc dll charitics, Bigmoosc faccs s¢vcral risks and unc¢rtainti¢s that could impact our ability to d¢liv¢r scrviccs. Th¢ mobt significant are.. Funding su8tainability- reliance on fundraising events, grants and donations could make us vulnerable to wider economic pressures. Increasing demand - referrals continue to rise year on year, which places pressure on our capacity to maintain our three non-negotiables (reply within 24 hours. session within one week. bespoke referrals). Workforcc rcsilicncc- as a sinall tcam dclivcriiig a 7-day scrvicc, thcrc is a risk of staff burnout it growth is not managed carefully. Exlcrnal environinent- ¢hai)g¢s in public fundii)g prioriti¢s, cost of living pressures, or wider societal %hifts in mental health needs could affect d¢maiid and resourcing. Our strategies for managing these risks include.. Diversifying income streams, including monthly giving, legacy giving, high-net-worth philanthropy, grants, and corporate partnerships. Expanding our team and systems to ensure capacity keeps pace with demand. Investing in staff wellbeing. stewardship trainillg, and development to build resilience and retention. Strengthening data collection and reporting. so we can evidence impact and adapt our strategy in response to trcnds. Factors lik¢ly to affcct future tinancial p¢rformancc L<M)king ahead, our financial perfom)ance will be influenced by qeveral key factor8: Continued growth in referrals - demand for therapy is expected to rise further, driving the need for increased income to sustain delivery. Fundraising events - large-scale events such as the ultra fun run and project I million 2.0 are expected to play a ccntral rolc in incoinc gcncration, but thcy also rcly 01) continucd strong participatioii and cotnmunity engagement which we will keep a focus on through marketing, social media and talks.

“this has been a landmark year for bigmoose. our biggest events to date have reached a broader, more diverse community than ever before, all while staying true to the core values and purpose of the charity. led by jeff and chloe, the team has built sustainable foundations, strengthened operations, streamlined delivery, and explored long-term funding opportunities - with intention and integrity at every step. as trustees, we’ve been proud to oversee this progress and remain deeply committed to supporting the vision as it continues to grow.”

- bethan lee, chair of trustees

this year has been an incredible year for bigmoose.

significant activities:

in 2024-2025 we’ve pushed ourselves further than ever before with events and challenges that have brought thousands of people together to stand for better mental health.

we’ve had kinging-it’s north to south wales cycle challenge, our cardiff half marathon team was our biggest yet, and the ‘why we run’ multi-day ultramarathon, where bigmoose was chosen as the designated charity again. these events significantly contributed to our fundraising efforts and increased public awareness.

in april, we delivered our second-ever ultra fun run, this time, six times bigger than our inaugural event, with 6,069 runners taking part to represent the 6,069 lives lost to suicide in england and wales in 2023. it was an emotional, powerful, and record-breaking day for us all.

our wing walking challenge was a big success with a sell out day.

and now, we’ve just sold out our biggest ever cardiff half team of over 220 runners all raising £500 which will fund 274 people through a full course of therapy.

behind the scenes, we’ve continued to grow our team, expand our therapy services, and settle into our new office space, giving us the room to do even more.

this year has been defined by ambition and impact. bigger teams. bigger events. bigger dreams. and the goal remaining the same, to change and save lives.

achievement & performance

charitable activities: providing therapy

throughout the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025, bigmoose continued to provide life-changing therapy to those who reached out for help. demand has continued to rise, with 2,531 people supported during this period, compared to 1,098 in 2023/2024.

we are proud to have upheld our three non-negotiables, ensuring every person who comes to us receives the care they deserve:

we are also extremely proud to provide support seven days a week, 365 days a year. our team is always on call, including weekends and even christmas day because we know that mental health doesn’t pause for weekends or holidays, and neither do we.

108 lives saved

this is the number of people who have told us unprompted that we have saved their life between january 1st 2022 and july 31st 2025.

the feedback we continue to receive from clients shows us that the system we have built is not only robust, but also highly effective in delivering meaningful outcomes. the human givens approach we use is fast-paced and solutionfocused, enabling people to make progress quickly. clients consistently share that they experience noticeable improvements after only a small number of sessions. this shows that with the right support, change can happen both rapidly and sustainably.

“thank you for all your help. after years of struggling with mental health this has saved my life. you are the light in my very dark tunnel” -bigmoose graduate

“thank you for such an incredibly informative and valuable day.

i now feel very confident that if i sensed someone might be struggling with suicidal thoughts, i would know how to step in and offer help.”

achievement & performance

-suicide first aid course attendee

charitable activities: providing training

this year we’ve continued to invest in education and prevention, running suicide first aid and mental health first aid courses with more already booked in for the rest of the year. these courses are equipping people with the tools to spot the signs, start life-saving conversations, and support those who are struggling. every course delivered helps to break down stigma, build confidence, and create ripple effects of hope in workplaces, schools, and communities.

achievement & performance

charitable activities - ultra fun run

a defining highlight of this year was our ultra fun run, our inclusive looped running event in bute park, cardiff. what began with 1,000 participants in 2024 grew to an extraordinary 6,069 in 2025. this number carried deep significance, representing the 6,069 people who died by suicide in england and wales in 2023. each runner symbolised one of those lives, and on april 13th we came together as a community to remember, reflect, and take action.

the event reached far beyond cardiff, with runners joining virtually from over 50 locations around the world.

together, we raised more than £100,000, but equally important, we raised vital awareness of bigmoose and the work we are doing to prevent suicide and support mental health.

achievement & performance

charitable activities - why we run

another unforgettable highlight for bigmoose this year was ‘why we run’. in september, fifty ultra runners gathered in st davids, pembrokeshire, to take on the extraordinary challenge of running 250km across five days along the rugged welsh coastline. it was a test of resilience, endurance, and community spirit, with every step taken in support of our mission. each runner fundraised for bigmoose, and together they raised over £84,000 enough to fund 210 people through a full course of therapy.

beyond the fundraising, why we run created powerful ripples of awareness. it brought people together, sparked conversations about mental health and suicide prevention, and showcased the strength of collective action. the impact stretched far wider than pembrokeshire, in september alone, our reach on social media surpassed 1,000,000 people, spreading hope and inspiring others to get involved.

financial review

our main focus as a charity is to continue growing our income and diversifying our revenue streams so we can meet the rising demand for support. referrals have increased by 130.5% year on year, and this growth is largely driven by events but mainly word of mouth. when people graduate from our service and have a positive experience, they share their story, and the ripple effect brings more people to us who need help.

in early 2022, we built our own bespoke software to track referrals and gather valuable data insights. this system has proven invaluable over the past few years, enabling us to make informed and strategic decisions.

a recent development has been the introduction of a ‘tagging’ feature, allowing us to record the key challenges clients are facing for example, financial worries, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or eating disorders.

principle funding

individuals

a core focus for bigmoose is building longlasting, impactful relationships with our fundraisers. we have invested in training our team in stewardship to ensure every fundraiser feels fully supported and has the best possible experience when raising money for us.

we believe our success in this area comes from the exceptional way we manage relationships and engage with supporters. by caring for our fundraisers, guiding them through challenges, and celebrating their achievements, we create meaningful connections that last well beyond a single event or campaign.

businesses and community groups, such as running clubs, also play a vital role in our fundraising. our strategy is to support these partners with the same energy and commitment they show us. we believe these relationships should be mutually beneficial, and our ambition is to build long-term partnerships that last at least three years, creating a foundation for sustainable impact.

thank you for creating something special and including so many people in that. i love fundraising for bigmoose.

key fundraisers

kinging it

craig and aimee, known as kinging it, are youtubers who have built a loyal following over the past decade by sharing their adventures as they travel the world. this year, to support bigmoose, they brought together a team of 50 cyclists to ride the length of wales from north to south, raising £100,000 along the way.

amy hughes

amy took on the remarkable challenge of running 53km every single day for 53 consecutive days. her determination and resilience not only inspired thousands of people but also raised over £20,000 to support bigmoose and fund life-changing therapy for those in need.

duncan covey

during his adventure of cycling around the world, he experienced a life-threatening trauma when he was mugged at gunpoint. this led him to reach out to bigmoose for support, and following a successful therapy journey he chose to give back. he went on to organise a fundraiser, raising over £20,000 to help others access the same life-changing support he had received.

principle funding

grants

grant funding has been a significant focus for us this year, with applications submitted to a wide range of funders. over the past few years, we have worked hard to build a strong and transparent reporting system, enabling us to clearly evidence the impact of every pound received. this investment in robust reporting not only demonstrates accountability but also strengthens our position when applying for future funding opportunities.

we have seen firsthand how this approach creates positive outcomes. for example, by securing and successfully delivering on smaller grants, such as those received from the national lottery, we have been able to provide detailed reports that highlight both outcomes and impact. in turn, this has led to invitations to apply for larger, medium-scale grants, creating a clear pathway for growth and sustainability.

our focus remains on refining this process, ensuring that every funder has confidence in the work we are doing and in the lives being changed through their support.

this year we have been supported by:

planning for the future

the charity’s main priority moving forward is to build long-lasting and reliable income streams that will sustain and grow our impact. to support this, we have redefined the roles within our team and welcomed two new starters. these additions strengthen our capacity, enabling us to expand into new areas of focus, create stronger systems, and develop opportunities such as legacy giving and high-net-worth philanthropy.

our key priorities for the year ahead include:

lessons learnt during this year:

referrals

as the number of referrals we receive continues to grow, more nhs bodies, charities, and service providers are hearing about our work. naturally, this has led to some of these organisations wanting to refer their service users to us. to manage this well, we’ve been reaching out to explain that referrals either need to be funded by the organisation or held back for now. while we started by sending emails, we’re now also making phone calls, which has opened the door to richer conversations and a stronger understanding.

99.7% of people who used our service in the last year would recommend us

software

the investment we made in 2022 to build our own bespoke software has continued to transform the way we work, enabling us to operate with greater efficiency and effectiveness. over the past year, we’ve identified and implemented a number of small but significant adjustments to the system, streamlining processes such as registration to make them as simple and userfriendly as possible.

the impact of this work is clear. over the past 12 months, 92.6% of those who received therapy reported that it was “very helpful”, the highest rating possible and 99.7% said they would recommend our services. these insights not only demonstrate the value of our support, but also guide us in making ongoing improvements.

this year we’ve also developed new functionality within the system that allows us to ring-fence specific amounts of fundraising. this means we can now follow the journey of a client supported by that funding and, importantly, share anonymised updates with the fundraiser. we’re able to show both the human impact, how their generosity has directly helped someone in need and the supporting data to evidence that change.

this increased transparency has allowed us to build a much stronger emotional connection with our supporters. fundraisers can see, in real terms, the difference they’ve made, which has not only deepened their engagement but is also helping us retain their support and build more meaningful, long-lasting relationships.

lessons learnt during this year:

events

this year we have streamlined our events programme, choosing to focus solely on the initiatives that generate the greatest financial return for the charity while also creating the widest awareness of our mission. by concentrating our energy on these high-impact events, we’ve been able to maximise both fundraising and visibility, ensuring our efforts go as far as possible in supporting the people who need us.

importantly, the lessons we learned last year around systems and processes have paid real dividends. the improvements we made have allowed us to organise with far greater efficiency and clarity, reducing unnecessary pressure on the team and giving us the space to focus on creativity, growth, and relationshipbuilding.

this shift has not only strengthened our internal operations but has also enhanced the experience for our supporters, participants, and partners, creating a more professional and impactful events programme overall.
