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 Martin Gallier Project is fiercely dedicated to preventing suicides, breaking down stigma and supporting families, including those bereaved by suicide, in the North West. The Martin Gallier Project is the only suicide prevention, intervention and postvention service in the North West of England. Our Suicide Intervention Workers provide crisis support through immediate suicide interventions on the high street with no barriers to access or waiting lists, thus reducing the need for clinical interventions and hospital admissions. We do not currently and never have had a waiting list for our services. ## The objectives of the CIO are: 1. The preservation of health and the saving of lives, in particular in the North West of England, by providing and assisting in the provision of guidance, support and counselling for people who have considered or are considering suicide and for those bereaved by suicide. 2. To advance the education of the public in relation to the early signs of suicidal behaviour and effective interventions by the provision of training and education, in particular, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). ## **Significant activities** The Martin Gallier Project offers a range of services and support to those affected by suicide in the North West which further the Vision, Mission and Strategic Goals outlined above. Activities are continually reviewed to ensure these remain relevant to the changing priorities of those affected by suicide in the region and continue to align with strategic objectives.

We also receive grant funding from a range of local and national charitable foundations and trusts. ## Funders, Donors and Supporters The organisation wishes to record its thanks to all the generous donors who have supported our work through the financial year. With thanks to the following: " The National Lottery " The Steve Morgan Foundation " Cheshire Wirral Partnership " St James's Place " LCR Cares " John Moore's Foundation " People's Health Trust " Garfield Weston " PH Holt Foundation " Screwfix Foundation " The Blakemore Foundation We also receive many regular donations. Without the generosity of so many people, The Martin Gallier Project would not be able to achieve the level of service that we believe the residents across the North West who are affected by suicide deserve and need. ## Achievements and Performance This year has been a year of growth and expansion for The Martin Gallier Project with the extension of our NHS sub-contract with Cheshire Wirral Partnership and the opening of our second MGP Base in Chester in September 2023. The organisation continues to see an exponential increase in it's rate of referral. Throughout this growth, the team have worked tirelessly to ensure our values and ethos have remained. This hard work has ensured that we are able to continue to offer immediate access to non-clinical support for those affected by suicide with no waiting lists and no barriers to access support. The Martin Gallier Project continues to encourage new ideas and activities based on the expressed needs of the people we support and on the evidence from our monitoring. Upon reviewing the feedback from our beneficiaries and our monitoring, we have made several changes to meet the needs of our beneficiaries such as: 1. Opening our second MGP Base in Chester to ensure the service is accessible to the Chester community. 2. Implementing The Recovery Star Workshops additionally via Zoom which has meant we have seen an increase in those accessing postvention support. 3. Building an Events Volunteer team which now consists of 37 volunteers who support our internal fundraising efforts. The organisation would like to record their thanks to all the staff, volunteers and supporters. It is impossible to do full justice here to the many ways in which people went the extra mile during the year to ensure all of those who accessed the service were supported, heard and respected during their journey of recovery.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of MAAT which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 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 accounts to be reached.
