A team of volunteers from the church was established to work with women who were involved in sex work and partner with organisations who also support women on the streets. In 2023 Project Pearl was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The Trustees are pleased to present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025. Objects and purpose The charitys Objects are.. The relief of women involved in the sex industry who are in need by reason of financial hardship, ill-heallh, poverty and other disadvanlage, through the provision of accommodation, counselling, advice and pastoral care, in partnership with other agencies. such as local authorities, local churches. and other charitable bodies. To advance the Christian faith by way of offering a Christian chaplaincy service to people affected by Ihe sex industry and offering spiritual support by invitation,. and lo advance the education of Ihe public in the issues surrounding women and Ihe sex industry. Overall vision Our vision is to see women who feel trapped in the sex industry set free to step into their full potential for their future purpose in life in a world where sexual exploitation has been eradicated from both streets and screens. Mission Statement Our mission is to provide a firsl step Christian-led 'home from home. sancluary, a trauma-informed holistic support programme and a specialist chaplaincy oulreach service, all providing practical and spiritual care for women who are working in and affected by the sex industry. Our Aspirations To see women who feel trapped in the sex industry set free lo step into their full potential. To provide compassionate care in an environment where the women can experience rest, recovery, restoration and reconnection. To enable and support the women to feel safe, valued, loved, supported, equipped, and empowered to rebuild their lives for the next step of independent living, free from constraints such as homelessness and substance abuse. To be a centre of excellence that draws on the experience, knowledge and expertise of recognised specialists and organisations in this complex field of work. To show Christian love, kindness, and justice in everything we do. We want the women to know they are loved by God and that they have a future purpose in life. We believe everyone is made in the image of God and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity- Project Pearl- Trustees Report {cont'd) For the year ended 31 December 2025 Our Ethos Project Pearl is a charity founded on a Christian vision and driven by Christian values. The theologian Miroslav Volf writes thal 'Christian faith will be an aclive faith, engaged in the world in a noncoercive way.. To be engaged in the world well, Christians will have to keep one thing at the forefronl of Iheir altention: the relalionship between God and a vision of human flourishing, This Christian vision of human flourishing in an invitational, noncoercive way is the heart of Project Pearl. The Christian values of love and compassion for the most marginalised in our society were the underlying principles of Jesus, ministry, and have been practised by many organisations throughout history. We are continuing this work, by aiming to assist in the relief of poverty of women wanting to leave the sex industry. As Jesus did, we will treat every woman as well as staff and volunteers with care and compassion, understanding that each one of them is loved unconditionally by their heavenly father. Statement on Public Benefit Project Pearl Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit Ihroughoul the prO￿sS of establishing the organisation and also in planning the future activities. Project Pearl will bring benefits beyond the lives of individuals who progress through the programme by providing specialist services and accommodation which will ultimately reduce pressure on already stretched statutory services including the Police, the NHS and local homelessness services. Project Pearl- Trustees Report {cont'd) For the year ended 31 December 2025 Activities and impact during the year Crealing hope, safety, and new beginnings Confidentiality Notice.. Specific locations and individual names within Greater Manchester are not included for safeguarding reasons and to protect the women we support and our staff. Headlines of our work in 2025 2025 has been a significant year for Pmject Pearl. Through the development of our Drop-in, we have been able to provide far more meaningful, sustained one-to-one support alongside our regular street and brothel outreach, safeguarding work, and community partnerships. The year has demonstrated. more clearly than ever, the transforrnative difference that consistent, trusted relationships can make in the lives of the women we walk alongside. Women are now engaging with us not only on the slreels but in a safe, stable space where trusl can grow over time. For many, the Drop-in has become what they describe simply as a "home,, a testimony to the warmth and safety our team and volunleers have worked so hard to create. During 2025 we provided individually tailored support to 77 women. Through our outreach and Drop-in work, we recorded 630 connections with women this year lup from 443 in 2024 and 206 in 20231. This includes 1-1 conversations (planned or ad hocl through outreach or at the Drop-in as well as phone calls and follow up work. We recognise that we can't do this work on our own, and our volunteers and staff were able to refer or signpost women on 255 occasions to 16 specialist partner agencies {up from 77 in 2024). Outreach: Streets, Brothels, and Beyond Our outreach work, visiting women on Ihe streets and in brothels across Grealer Manchester, remains a core aspect of Project Pearl. In 2025 we delivered 69 outreach sessions. Although Ihis is a reduction compared to the previous year, the nature of our support has intentionally evolved over Ihe past 12 months. Rather than primarily relying on light-louch conlact on the streel, more women are now engaged in sustained, ongoing relationships with our team: accessing the Drop-in regularly, receiving structured support, and being connected to a wide range of specialist agencies. We hope to see outreach session numbers to grow again as our volunteer team expands in 2026. One-to-one Support and Specialist Referrals One of our grealest achievements in 2025 has been the increased focus on more structured one-to-one support. The amount of signposling work and exlernal referrals has increased threefold compared to 2024, as we have strengthened connections with partners Project Pearl- Trustees Report {cont'd) For the year ended 31 December 2025 including MASH, IDVA services, Probation. and a range of specialisl health and housing providers. This year we were privileged to support rive women inlo specialist residential detox and rehabilitation provision in a different part of the country. Trustees from Project Pearl were able to visit the unit and meet wilh staff as well as residenls. All five have reported positive progress in their addiction recovery, mental health, and trauma work. We have started to create a "going-away" bag of clothes and thoughtful treats, a small gesture that speaks to our commitment to treating every woman with dignity and care. Our safeguarding work has continued to be a vital strand of our practi￿. In 2025 we made 16 safeguarding referrals in addition to attending 4 multi-agency forums with police and probation colleagues. These forums help ensure that the women we support are known to and protected by the wider system. We were pleased to host the Greater Manchester Police multi agency partnership Domestic Abuse Day for women at our drop in, where women were able to meet with partner organisations including health, fire services, police, domestic violence advisors and housing specialists. The Drop-ln: A Place to Call Home The opening and subsequent growth of our Drop-in has been the defining development of 2025. It has created a consistent, welcoming space where women can access practical support, build relationships with our team, and take steps towards stsbility at their own pace. Over the course of the year, the Drop-in, alongside our outreach routes, provided 412 hot drinks and refreshments., 331 "Bags of Hope" each containing 10 essential hygiene items provided by St Philip's Church,. access to our clothes store for 60 women. 4 mobile phones and 31 sim cards, removing a critical barrier to accessing help and staying safe- and 20 sexual health kits, were distributed directly or referred through a specialist sexual health nurse who has been based with us at the Drop-in. Between September and December, we piloled a Gardening Project in partnership with Groundwork, crealing a peaceful outdoor space for women to enjoy and take ownership of. Four Pamper Sessions, offering haircuts, nail care, and hand and foot massages, were also delivered, providing an experience of being genuinely cared for and valued. These practical provisions are never simply about meeting a material need. Each bag, warm drink, and item of clothing is an act of relationship, a way of saying.. you matter, you are seen, and you are not alone. Pastoral and Spiritual Support Pastoral care and chaplaincy have always been central to the identity of Project Pearl, and 2025 has seen this dimension of our work deepen. Over Ihe year, 286 invitations for prayer were offered as part of our chaplaincy support, always extended without pressure or obligation, and always rooted in genuine relationships. Several women have begun exploring faith as a result of their engagement with Project Pearl, and a number are now attending local churches. The Celebrate Recovery 12 Slep Project Pearl- Trustees Report {cont'd) For the year ended 31 December 2025 Course was delivered to 5 women who also received Bibles at the end of the programme. This year. five women were baptised, a profound and moving milestone for our team and for the women themselves. We held a special Away Day for women supported by Project Pearf at the Message Trust in Wythenshawe. The Day included art therapy sessions and lunch, and the women were kindly given vouchers lo shop at the community grocery and community clothing store. We believe that sustainable change is not only practical but spiritual. Our pastoral support walks alongside the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, and it is in thal wholeness that lasting transformation is found. Volunteers, Training, and Our Team None of this work would be possible without our incredible volunteers. In 2025, 24 volunteers conlributed their time, skills. and compassion to Project Pearl, on oulreach, at the Drop-in, and in supporting our day-to4ay operations. We are profoundly grateful for each one. Two training sessions were delivered during the year to equip our team in delivering trauma-infomied, effective support. We have continued to develop and strengthen our recruitment and induction practices, policies and processes for staff and volunteers. During 2025 we were able to recruit a part time outreach worker and we secured funding to increase our operational capacity. We held a trustee away day in June 2025 where we were able to reflect on the progress made so far and refresh our plans and priorities for the months ahead. 2025 brought a significant transition in our governance. We said farewell to Stuart Robinson, our founding Treasurer. whose dedicated seNice was instrumental in establishing Project Pearl on secure foundations during the early and formative years. We are so grateful for Sluart's wisdom and experience. We were delighted to welcome two new Truslees to the Board, a new Treasurer and a Safeguarding Lead, whose skills and experien￿ will be invaluable as we continue to grow. Looking Ahead to 2026 Following our 2025 trustees, away day, we agreed the following priorities for 2026: to develop our fundraising work, increasing both grant income and individual giving so that we can sustain and expand our current provision., to expand our volunteer and staff team in order to increase outreach capacity and deepen one-lo-one support with the women we are serving- to make significant progress with our first shared house, providing stable, supported accommodation for women taking steps towards a new beginning. Development of the shared house was paused in 2025 as we focused on establishing the Drop-in, and we look fonmard to returning to this work in the year ahead. We are also committed to continuing to listen to the voices ofthe women we serve. Their experiences and perspectives shape everything we do, and that will not change. Project Pearl- Trustees Report {cont'd) For the year ended 31 December 2025 Thank You To our volunteers. partners, churches. and supporters: thank you. We especially wanted to thank friends and colleagues from the Stoller Charilable Trust and from Squire, Patton and Bogg - amongst many others- who have been so generous with both time and expertise as we have worked together to establish the Drop In provision. Together, in so many different ways, we are creating hope. safety, and new beginnings for women across Greater Manchester. Financial Review During the year, we re￿iVed a total income of £46,809 (2024.- £1,297). made up of£5,789 (2024.. £475) from regular donations, £21,070 (2024.. £822) from one off giving and £19,950 (2024.. £0) from grant income. Following last year's focus on developing a theory of change and funding plan, several funding applications were made which resulted in 3 successful restricted grants from the Council for Social Aid1£15,0001, a Christian grant making charity who ask to remain anonymous1£3,0001 and Ihe Bishop Radford Trust {£1.950). Funds received from CSA and Ihe anonymous funder were earmarked to support the salary for the Project l Ops Manager role. During the year under review, volunteers have helped us to update our website k and produce our newsletter, both at no cost to the organis8tion- although we incur cost for the domain and hosting. At the start of the year, the Trustees decided to increase capacity by appointing an outreach and support worker to support work on the drop-in and outreach. The appointment of Operations Manager to oversee the proposed house was put on hold following a decision made by the Trustees. Net income for the year was £30,062 {2024.- net expenditure £5,019) and al the end of the year we had a total £54.875 (2024.. £24,990) held in both general and restricted reserves.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. ## **b Going concern** The Trustees have no reason to believe that Project Pearl will not continue to operate for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. ## **c Fund accounting** General income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. ## **d Income** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aided donations is accrued for on the donation date. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor has specified otherwise. The Trustees operate a policy that any donations greater than £5,000 or where there is some doubt as to the source of funds will be subject to a Know Your Donor documented review. This was needed twice during the year under review (2024: none). ## **e Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. ## **f Volunteer help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 3 |**2 **|**Analysis of Expenditure**|||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**General**|**Designated**|**Restricted**|**Total**|**Total**| |||**Funds**|**Funds**|**Funds**|**2025**|**2024**| |||**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**|**£**| ||**Expenditure Raising Funds**|||||| ||Raising funds|-|||**-**|1,300| ||**Expenditure delivering the charitable activities**|||||| ||Charity: Staff/ Consultancy costs|9,541||-|**9,541**|3,438| ||Charity: Premises|3,457||254|**3,711**|-| ||Charity: Outreach|2,314|||**2,314**|375| ||Crisis Relief Fund||232||**232**|-| ||**Administrative costs running the charity**|||||| ||Admin costs|1,077|||**1,077**|1,128| ||Other|30|||**30**|99| ||Bank/ card charges|-|||**-**|-| |||**16,419**|**232**|**254**|**16,905**|**6,340**| |||||||| ||Prior year fund split:|6,340|-|-|-|6,340| |**3 **|**Staff costs, Trustee remuneration and expenses**
