ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
The charity was registered in March 2025.
Personal Safety Device Distribution
During the year, the charity distributed 680 personal safety devices across five countries: the United Kingdom (352), Cyprus (138), Argentina (100), Lebanon (60), and Australia (30). Recipients included survivors of sexual abuse, refugees, homeless individuals, sex workers, secondary school students, retail staff, and Girl Scout leaders.
Distribution was carried out through partnerships with local organisations including Our House Community in Liverpool, Vois Cyprus and UNHCR Cyprus, Remar Argentina Shelter in Mendoza, St Patrick's Community Support Centre in Perth, the AGBU Antranik Scouts Movement in Beirut, and the British High Commission in Cyprus. Undistributed Becky's Buttons are held by volunteers and stakeholders.
The charity has distributed over 8,400 devices across eight countries.
GBV Education and Workshops
The charity delivered six gender-based violence awareness workshops during the year. In the UK, workshops were held at Lincoln College (May 2025), Huddersfield New College (October 2025), and Newark College (November 2025), reaching secondary and further education students. The Newark session was recorded by the college for use as a teaching resource in its lectures programme.
In December 2025, the charity participated in the international 16 Days of Activism against gender-based Violence (GBV). Two workshops were delivered in Cyprus in partnership with UNFICYP and UNHCR, reaching university students and refugees at Frederick University and through Vois Cyprus. In Lebanon, six RDCC 2025 finalists and two student volunteers from the American University of Beirut co-developed and delivered a workshop for the AGBU Antranik Scouts Movement and the Lebanese Girl Scout's Association, equipping scout leaders with tools to address gender-based violence in youth settings.
Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge 2025
The second cycle of the Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge (RDCC) was delivered in Lebanon between July and December 2025. The challenge invited young people aged 16-25 to develop ideas for addressing misogyny and gender-based violence in their communities, under the theme "Challenging Misogyny: Youth-Led Action to End Gender-Based Violence."
The challenge received 98 registrations, resulting in 39 video submissions representing 61 students. An information session was attended by 53 participants. Ten finalist teams, comprising 14 individuals, were selected through an independent screening process and presented their proposals at a live pitch session on 27 September 2025. Four independent judges scored all finalists. Winners were announced on 11 October 2025, the International Day of the Girl. A Rising Changemaker Award was introduced to recognise outstanding effort among secondary-age participants aged 16-18.
A post-challenge Youth Gathering, "From Ideas to Action," was held on 12 October 2025, bringing together finalists, judges, and volunteers to reflect on implementation and next steps. Feedback from finalists rated the overall experience 4.8 out of 5. Around 70% reported that their proposals were ready for small-scale pilots, and all expressed willingness to participate in future RDCC cycles.
On 5 December 2025, a certificate ceremony was held at the British Embassy in Beirut, attended by finalists, student volunteers, judges, parents, and educators. Digital participation certificates were also issued to all 46 non-finalist video submitters.
Social media activity in support of RDCC 2025 reached up to 75,616 Instagram accounts and generated up to 112,391 views per post, with 74% of views from non-followers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD 24 MARCH 2025 TO 31 MARCH 2026
University of Cambridge Collaboration
During the year, the charity established a collaboration with the University of Cambridge Institute for Manufacturing (IfM). A team of four MPhil students conducted an independent feasibility analysis covering market positioning, financial modelling, logistics, and growth strategy for the charity's personal safety device programme. Their presentation to the Board on 5 March 2026 informed strategic planning for Year Two, including recommendations on fundraising channels, website optimisation, and the development of a structured impact pilot.
Separately, a team of three Newnham College students, supervised by op academics, conducted research into safe scent compounds for a potential next-generation device, working alongside advisors from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
Organisational Development
Digital foundations were strengthened during the year. Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console were installed. A MailerLite account was created with GDPR-compliant signup forms. Planning began for a phased website rebuild and an application to the Google Ad Grant programme.
A CAF bank account was established to support fundraising and operational transactions. The charity also has accounts with Wise.
The charity's trademark registration was completed through appointed legal counsel.
VOLUNTEERS
The charity's work during the year was made possible by the contributions of volunteers across multiple countries. No volunteer received payment for their role.
The RDCC 2025 cycle was coordinated by approximately 20 student volunteers in Lebanon, recruited primarily through the Community Support Projects (CSP) Club at the American University of Beirut. Volunteers took on roles in media and content creation, coordination and communications, screening administration, and logistics. They were supported through regular check-ins, clear task allocation, and open communication, with inclusion treated as an active responsibility. Translation support was provided between Arabic and English, and processes were adapted for participants facing barriers related to internet access or language.
Four independent judges gave their time without payment to assess all finalist teams. Safeguarding oversight was provided throughout by the charity's Safeguarding Lead and Trustee. Cultural sensitivity guidance was contributed by local practitioners. One student ambassador served as Chief Student Advisor on GBV, providing guidance on framing, language, and facilitation across the programme cycle.
Three founding UK Ambassadors contributed to the charity's operations. All three are volunteers briefed in their duties and responsibilities in an Orientation session in Manchester in March 2025. All are provided with debit cards to cover minor expenses.
Trustees have volunteered their services in the charity's Changemaker Programme as well as accompanied the Founder on several occasions to deliver GBV workshops in Lincoln and a fundraising ceremony in Manchester in December 2025.
Several RDCC 2025 participants transitioned into ongoing roles with the charity. Two Lebanese students became Becky's Button Youth Ambassadors. Members of the 2025 volunteer team agreed to serve as screeners for the 2026 challenge cycle. By the end of the reporting period, the charity had begun designing a structured volunteer development programme, the Becky's Button Changemaker Programme, to provide a formal training and progression pathway for volunteers emerging from Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD 24 MARCH 2025 TO 31 MARCH 2026
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity's income totalled £49,990, with expenditure being £113,736. At the year-end there were negative unrestricted reserves of £63,746.
The organisation is funded by the Founder, the Shuh Trust, the University of Manchester,The Marsden Trust, Another Way Foundation and The Light Fund.
To address a deficit, the Trustees have appointed a professional fundraiser and agreed a fundraising strategy, with applications currently in progress. The Charity Founder has provided the bulk of financial support during the setting up phase in this first year and will not seek repayment of the loan until such time as the charity is in a financial position to do so.
Reserves Policy
The reserves policy seeks to protect beneficiaries, staff and volunteers and to comply with the Charity Commission's guidance CC19.
The Board of Trustees reviews the reserves policy annually with the intention of the continuation of the Changemaker project, The Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge and the Rebecca Dykes Young Writers Award in 2026/7.
Investment Policy and Objectives
The Trustees have adopted a long-term, low-risk strategy and review the investment of the reserves in savings accounts and move funds to new accounts if appropriate to ensure they are securing the best return while maintaining a low-risk approach.

FUTURE PLANS
The charity's second operating year (April 2026 to March 2027) is organised around five programme areas, supported by a foundational research internship.
The Rebecca Dykes Changemaker Challenge 2026 will run a revised format in Lebanon, moving from video submissions to a poster-led entry to reduce access barriers identified in 2025. The theme is "Spot Harm Early: Break the Pattern: Interrupting Misogyny in Digital Spaces." Registration opens in June 2026, with winners announced in late 2026 and a certificate ceremony planned for December.
The Becky's Button Changemaker Programme launched in April 2026 with a first cohort of eight volunteers across Lebanon and the United States, aged 16-24. The programme offers structured training in safeguarding, intersectionality and GBV prevention, and career development, combined with practical application through RDCC delivery and a progression pathway from volunteer to ambassador to paid intern. CPD accreditation is being pursued through the CPD Verification Service.
A Manchester Ambassador Programme will place three paid student ambassadors at the University of Manchester to deliver GBV campaigns on campus and community outreach across Greater Manchester. A National Lottery Awards for All application has been submitted.
The Rebecca Dykes Young Writers' Award, a UK creative writing competition for ages 16-21, is in development. Three international judges have been confirmed. The competition is planned to launch in December 2026, with winners announced at Newnham College, Cambridge on International Women's Day 2027.
Policy and Public Affairs Internship (Summer 2026)
The trustees have appointed a Policy and Public Affairs Officer on a six-week summer placement commencing July,2026. The officer will continue her contribution to the charity by working one day a week from September 2025 to July 2027.
The internship is designed to address a gap identified in the Cambridge ISMM strategic review (March 2026): the charity has not yet defined which UK community it primarily serves, through which partner, in which context. The placement focuses on two foundational pieces of work. The first maps the charity's programmes against the UK government's cross-government strategy "Freedom from Violence and Abuse," establishing where its prevention work aligns with national policy and where alignment should not be overclaimed. The second translates that policy analysis into a strategic focus note identifying which UK communities would benefit most from receiving personal safety alarms through local partners, and what a realistic pilot would look like.
Alongside this core research, the internship will build the charity's engagement infrastructure: mapping institutional audiences, building an operational contact database, producing newsletter content, and beginning outreach for the Rebecca Dykes Young Writers' Award.
The charity will also continue to develop its digital presence during the year, including a phased website rebuild and an application for a Google Ad Grant.

After open recruitment for more trustees in January 2026, a total of 16 people applied. They sent curriculum vitae and were asked why they wanted to raise awareness about gender-based violence. Through a careful selection process, six were recognised as members of the public who could offer significant professional skills and expertise to the charity.
