Currently we have 24 volunteer counsellors working with clients.
We have seen considerable increases in previous years demand for Survive’s services.
This years Survivor Arts Exhibition was the most successful yet. We had 226 people attend and raised almost £800. For the first time we had clients involved in the planning and setting up of the exhibition, being involved with the exhibition on the day and, of course, contributing artwork to the exhibition itself.
Looking forward into 2022/2023:
Looking forward to 2023 and we are increasing the number of volunteer counsellors. We are also looking to increase the user involvement within our organisation.
Due to the increase in demand for our service we are going to construct another room in our premises to offer more counselling spaces during peak times.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
Unrestricted funds represent donations, grants and monies received from room hire and donations that have no specific conditions attached and can therefore be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds represent donations or grants that have been given or raised for a specific purpose and as such these funds can only be spent in accordance with that specific purpose. It is possible - subject to permission from the donor - that any unused restricted funds that remain at the end of the project, can be transferred to unrestricted funds.
