**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MAY 2025**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st May 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**
The principal objectives of the charity, which are stated in the governing document, are:
To relieve need, suffering and distress amongst members of the armed forces community and civilian emergency services and their families, in particular, but not exclusively through:
- The provision of non-clinical human resource support.
- Provision of information, advice, and guidance on issues that impact service users, such as well-being and coping strategies, mental health issues, pre- and post-therapy support, and social and economic disadvantage.
- To work with and in collaboration with individuals and other organisations to further these objectives.
- The CIO has the power to do anything calculated to further its objectives or is conducive or incidental to doing so.
## **Significant activities**
During the period ESVH:
- Utilised and expanded established working relationships with health, social care, and criminal justice services to help individual service users access a variety of services. This included providing information, advice, and guidance, as well as making referrals to appropriate professional and statutory agencies for those who were not already engaged with these services.
- Provided programmes that encouraged veterans to capitalise on their experiences and regenerate existing personal strengths by fostering a culture of participatory involvement, encouraging individuals to take ownership and responsibility for their actions during activities and upon completion of every event. This approach was guided by a philosophy that prioritised 'personal ownership' and responsibility.
- Set out initial processes to ensure the best evidence-based interventions to support individuals' recovery.
- Presented a proficient workforce, including those with lived experience and remained open to the participation of other peer group leaders or caseworkers from other agencies involved with individual service users. In addition, its programme was flexible, with opportunities for volunteer support staff to develop as peer group
- ESVH conducted regular performance monitoring, involving service user surveys and adapted where indicators suggested change.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
This period was dedicated to maintaining core operations, developing services, and utilising benefits from relevant County Council contracts. These projects were completed during this time, and final reports and recommendations were submitted to the County Council's satisfaction.
**Core Business.** ESVH Offices (Harold Place) operated five days a week, Monday to Friday, with every other Saturday dedicated to wellbeing and coping sessions, including meditation and guest speakers. The introduction of the SMART programme included a series of sessions over a 10-week period, followed by fortnightly meetings until January 2025.
ESVH's drop-in and breakfast club, along with the photo club, were held on Mondays. The former attracted 1,348 visitors, including representatives from 48 other organisations, statutory bodies, and agencies. There was one VIP visit from the MP for Hastings & Rye, Hellena Dollimore MP, Mayor of Hastings, Cllr Margi O'Callaghan, and the High Sheriff of East Sussex, Lucinda Fraser DL.
The model club and flight simulator training, introduced in 2024, were held on Fridays.
One-to-one support for veterans was available by appointment, and mobile phone contact remained 24/7. There were 98 one-to-one sessions during the year.
The Mondays Drop-In attracted 534 veterans over the period, with an average of 14 attendees per session. External service providers included Help for Heroes, Walking with the Wounded, Department of Work & Pensions, local GPs, CAB, Belfour Beatty, Littlewoods Fencing Group, TRBL, AdFam, and other community services.
The 99/100 Group welcomed 153 veterans during the period, with an average of 10 attendees.
ESVH continued to work closely with Operation Courage, the veterans' mental health team (NHS), which used the Hub premises for consultations and counseling. Ten referrals were made for clinical assessment and intervention, with 20 sessions held at the Hub.
**Rural Activities** The Eridge Farm location continued to offer individual service users an alternative experience away from their daily routine. This programme, supported by the ESCC contract, enabled bushcraft courses, team-building days, woodland management, sculpture, woodcraft, and field cooking for veterans. Additionally, woodcraft days were held in Brighton.
## **Special Events** These included:
- Attendance at Armed Forces Day Eastbourne
- Local open days for Hastings Week
- Trafalgar Day Eastbourne
- Remembrance Day Hastings
- D-Day commemoration with the 48th Fighter Wing USAF, Lakenheath
- Families' Easter and Christmas Luncheon
- Away Days at the Open Air Concert in Kent, visits to Bluebell Railway, and Buckingham Palace
- Garden Party for small groups of veterans, sponsored by the Not Forgotten veterans' charity.
- The Royal Marines Graspan Memorial Parade in London was well represented by ESVH.
Team-building days for other allied charities working with service users with complex needs-including veterans, community members, and their caseworkers-fostered skill transfer and increased awareness. Individual volunteers and staff received training, predominantly online. Two staff members attended a visit, hosted by the Minister for Veterans and People, to No 10 Downing Street, representing veterans.
' **The Warrior** ', the ESVH newsletter, was published quarterly, reaching over 120 veterans and 140 other organisations, including statutory bodies. It was also available on the charity website.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MAY 2025**
## **Recovery Programme**
Funded by East Sussex County Council for 12 months, this programme provided ongoing access to non-clinical, alternative activities-mainly rural activities-for those recovering from trauma-related issues, including reliance on alcohol and substances. The aim is to develop a bespoke provision accessible to any agency within the military community and beyond. The programme included:
Activities to foster personal confidence (self-esteem) included:
- Indoor bushcraft sessions
- Rural bushcraft sessions
- Weekly gym sessions (individual and group)
- Weekly walk & talk (Seafront)
- Woodcarving
- Sculpture
- Football golf
- Water sports
- Workshops (upcycling and crafts)
- Visits and family events
Well-being and coping coaching, including psychoeducation, remained core services for the 99/100 Group. Although initially designed for those with mental health challenges, the programme has expanded into a broader trauma-focused offering, incorporating SMART addiction disciplines alongside communication, social, and living skills. ESVH continued to collaborate closely with East Sussex Recovery Alliance to optimise the SMART approach provision.
Feedback presented evidence that these activities improved individual general wellbeing, whilst providing exposure to new diverse experiences.
ESVH's pension and benefits expert has successfully supported veterans with war pension and compensation applications. The most notable achievement was securing a war pension with a £75,000 back payment, after the case took several years. Additionally, support has led to increased applications for Personal Independent Payment and Universal Credit, including successful tribunal hearings. Op Courage, the veterans' mental health service (NHS), continues to collaborate with ESVH by using the Hub for consultations, liaison, and individual mentoring. This provides veterans with a psychologically informed environment, offering support before and after consultations.
It was decided to adopt a more proactive approach with local residential homes, such as the Barchester Homes Group, to attract resident veterans and give them the opportunity to engage with ESVH. This initiative was part of an ongoing outreach project. During this period, we also established connections with local boot fairs, the South East Rail Network (station use), and other community groups. The ESVH mini-bus has proved invaluable in creating visibility during visits. This project was partly funded by the ESCC Community Fund.
The relocation of the Hub and the development of an emergency sanctuary-style accommodation for homeless individuals, ex-offenders, and those facing lifestyle challenges including alcohol and substance misuse, continued. It is anticipated that this may become a reality by December 2026. Funding from the Covenant Trust Fund and close cooperation with potential stakeholders-including ESVH's new landlords-led to the identification of a suitable property, prompting an application for further funding through the Covenant Fund Trust's Capital Development Grant.
This significant project has faced challenges, and although progress has been slowed, notable achievements have been made between November 2024 and May 2025. Much work remains to reach current objectives. The move from Harold Place to Robertson Street was delayed but successfully completed on 15 June 2025.
## **Prison In Reach Programme**
East Sussex County Council funded this programme for 12 months, ending in May 2025.
Page 3
## **EAST SUSSEX VETERANS HUB**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MAY 2025**
Referrals throughout the year increased substantially, including self-referrals and those initiated via the usual channels such as CGL, HMP Lewes Resettlement Team, and HMP Lewes Practice Plus Substance Misuse Team. The number of new clients referred in the first quarter grew throughout the year, including those on recall and remand. Early release programmes created a significant overload on supporting services.
Communication and collaboration with both HMP Lewes and HMP Rochester remained very strong during this period.
This programme was discontinued in June 2025 (at the end of the ADDER contract), due to a reduction in paid staff.
## **Summary**
Funds and donations allowed the charity to maintain its core services, expand its programmes, and develop a strategic plan that includes housing for homeless veterans with complex needs and a street-facing community café operated by veterans for the wider military community.
Through recognised involvement within the military community and with other statutory organisations, including visits and mostly online liaison meetings, ESVH raised its profile as the main point of contact for veterans in East Sussex.
Although engagement with East Sussex County Council decreased, ESVH's credibility as an effective charity continued to strengthen. By working closely with local authorities to benefit veterans and, more broadly, other associated groups in the community through skill transfer and governance, the ESVH profile was boosted. In the area of alcohol and substance misuse, knowledge, methods, and local connections improved through effective partnerships.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
At the accounting year end date, the charity held reserves totalling £24,166, of which £15,810 was held for restricted purposes.
## **Reserves policy**
Although the charity does not have a formal reserves policy, the Trustees' plan to hold three months operational costs in reserve.
## **PROGRESSION**
- Continue developing the ESVH programme of activities and services to ensure they are appropriate
- and sustainable for veterans with complex needs.
- Develop rural activities programmes, using veteran peer group leaders to assist in management.
- Review current sites to establish a location nearer the Hub.
- Create additional workshop facilities to bring activities closer to the Hub. These will continue to offer skills training and produce 'upcycled' items for sale, generating income for the charity.
- Increase support for veterans and others during recovery, enhancing personal development to prepare for potential re-entry into employment. Collaborate with local employers to facilitate this.
- Address succession planning for key appointments and the training of additional volunteer peer support workers.
- Continue the Mental Health First Aid programme.
- Expand involvement with other military and community organisations, both local and national, to
- support veterans.
- Maintain work with East Sussex County Council on co-occurrence issues (alcohol and substance misuse and mental health problems) where possible.
- Improve support for homeless veterans by acquiring, adapting, and managing suitable 'sanctuary'-style accommodation, in partnership with the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, landlords, and local authorities.
- Participate in local events to raise awareness and funds.
- Sustain ongoing engagement, liaison, and collaboration with community groups benefiting veteran
- service users.
- Seek further grant funding, donations, and revenue-generating activities.

## **EAST SUSSEX VETERANS HUB**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution and is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
Trustees are nominated by other trustees and appointed by a resolution passed at a routine meeting and endorsed at the subsequent Annual General Meeting. There must be at least three trustees in office with a maximum of six on the board of trustees.
Apart from the first charity trustees, all other trustees are appointed for a period of three years by resolution, passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
A trustee may retire by notifying the CIO, in writing.
In selecting individuals for appointments as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard for the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
## **Organisational structure**
The affairs of the charity are managed on a day to day basis by the Executive Secretary with regular reference to trustees, who may exercise all the powers of the charity.
## **Risk management**
The trustees show due diligence by examining the major risks that the charity faces and putting policies and systems in operation to prevent, address and reduce risks.
Risk assessments are made, as required, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all beneficiaries, staff and volunteers of the charity.
**Staff** - Staffing levels remained constant during this period, with two full-time managers (Activities and Prison in Reach) and one part-time administrator (Prison in Reach). These positions will be discontinued as contracts end by June 2025.
The Rural Activities Manager was scheduled to leave ESVH at the end of the ESCC contract, June 2024. This was extended to September, and he then agreed to continue his involvement as a volunteer.
**Trustees -** There were no resignations or additions to the Trustees.
**Volunteers** - Those with specific roles included three full-time staff (Executive Secretary, Treasurer, and Administrator). Additionally, there were six part-time volunteers (Lead Photo Club, Lead Model Club, Flight Simulator Instructor, one mini-bus driver, one chief, Rural Activities Instructor).
**Succession -** It remains policy that, as part of ESVH's plan to acquire managed supported accommodation by 2026, a recruitment process for an accommodation and support manager is proposed. This individual will later become the new CEO of the charity after a probation period. This role must be a salaried position funded as part of the accommodation package. The current Executive Secretary may opt to remain as a Trustee and Chairman, providing ongoing support and continuity.
Ongoing training was conducted using ESCC and other external platforms and workshops. Focus was placed on safeguarding service users, staff, and information security, in compliance with GDPR. No conflicts of interest were reported interest.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
