Trustee Report (incorporating the directors report) Message from the Chair and Chief Executive Deborah Stump• Chair of Bridge Support It has been a privile8e to join Bridge Support this year as Chair of Trustees and to witness first-hand how the whole team combines capability and dedication to de5iver a deep and lasting impact in the communities we serve. This has been a year of both opportunity and challenge. We have faced rising costs, notably the impact of National Insurance increases as a London Living Wage employer and continue to embed new services by investing significant time to build relationships with teams, service users, and commissioners. We have also managed important but carefully planned changes within both the Board of Trustees and the executive leadership team. Throughout, we have maintained a focus on measurable impact and long-term sustainablllty. There have been signlficant successes. An Independent evaluation of our Bridge Back Home servi demonstrated an impresslve return on Investment, reinforcing the value of our unique approach. We secured a new three-year contract for the Recovery College, providing stability for a vital area of our work. We have contlnued to see low levels of staff turnover, and delivered efficiencie5 across many areas of our operation while laylng the foundatlons for our future strategic direction and priorities My sincere thanks go to my predecessor, George Wilkinson, for his warrn welcome and for his critical contribution to Bridge Support over hls many years of service, and to Raymond and the executive team for their openness and support as I stepped Into my role. I look forward to our ongoing partnership as we continue to provide essential mental health support services in challenging times. Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd. Trustee Report (incorporating the dirertors report) Raymond Sheehyi Chlef Executlve of Brldge Support This year, in terms of our existing contracts, in the Royal Borough of Greenwich we continue to provide medium and flexible community support services on a contract that has seen a confirmed extension to July 2026. Our 24-hour Se￿iCe$ continue to be at capacity and have become another important part of our 'pathway' offer. TILT continues to be successful by the many metrics it is measured and the goal of replicating it in another area is something which is becoming closer to becoming a reality and has formed a central part of our strategic planning. Bridge are the only provider of supported living mental health services across the whole of Essex. This success has delivered opportunities for staff and real change and movement for the clients we work with. There is a real sense of hope and optimism that the client5 we now work with in these areas are moving on with their lives and are going to need less of us In the future as they move towards independence. The Brldge Back Home service continue5 to produce results. These results have been independently evaluated by the company Always P055ible and provide a picture of the real-life outcomes for Greenwich citizens and the financial benefits to the health system of not having people being kept in hospital when they are well enough to leave. Our Recovery College continues to be an example of what can be produced outside of the traditional NHS Recovery College model and has been awarded a new three-year contract in recognition of the groundbreaklng work it is doing to support people in their communities. The Greenwich Community Mental Health Hub composed of Bridge, SEL MIND and Oxleas NHS FT contlnues to develop towards offering the a 'one stop shop, for people in Greenwich with a mental health problem. The overall c05t pressures, the rising costs of staff salarles, government national insurance increases and void levels across Bridge continue to occupy a lot of my mine and colleague's time. We are mindful that during our next potential expansion phase we need to look c105ely at our contract pricing and that it more accurately reflects the rise in salaries that have been applied to the London Living Wage and Living Wage over the last three year5, the rises this year and the increases in employer national insurance that have now been applied in full following the budget statement last year. The abolition of NHS England and the 50% shrinkage in ICBS is having some effect on commissioned services and plans to develop more services. We continue to make every effort to do this to ensure costs are covered and that surpluses are returned to our reseNes 50 that we continue to have appropriate financial coverage. The Bridge busine55 model 15 to be financially Sound and one area for LIS to achieve this, is in the collection of all rental income that could be paid in line with the capacity that commissioners have asked us to provide. This would go a long way to maintaining a financially healthy a nd sustainable organisation. My team continue our scenario planning considering changing circumstances both operationally and financially and discussions about changes to the structure and roles needed are ongoing. We are currently completing a process that will result in a new set of strategic and growth plans. This year we gathered detailed client, staff, Trustee, internal senior manager and cornmissioner feedback lover 25 commissioner interviews) that shows that we have got a clear sense of where we are going which is matched to where our stakeholders and the commissioners see us going. The information we collected also provided us with a picture of the challenge5 we may face in developing further and Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd. Trustee Report lincorporating the directors report) highlighted how stakeholders and commissioner5 are consistently supportive of continuing to work with us to develop Bridge, meet any challenges and be part of changing people's lives. Finally, a thank-you to everyone who is part of what Bridge continues to do in its mission to 5UPPOrt people with mental health problems to make the very best of their lives day in, day out. We have said goodbye to Sarah Boundy, a Trustee of many years standing whose commitment, humour and advocacy of our services will be greatly missed. We have also said hello to our new Chair of Trustees, Debbie Stump, who l am sure will make a hugely positive impact on the development of our work and the sustainability of Bridge Support. In a rapidly changing and unpredictable world, the work of Bridge is also to provide some hope that for those who need us, we will be there. Myjob is to continue to make sure we are.

Mylourney by Mott Rlgby who was a BBH cllent and 15 now a valued Flexlble Support Workerfor BBH- 8th February 2024. Myjourney to Bridge. Myjourney started in the weirdest way. A trip to B and Q and my life changed. My partner of 8 vears made me homeless, took our cat and just stopped talking to me in the blink of an eye. I was forced to sleep in my sisterfs bedroom while I worked to rebuild my life. One normal Monday, I went to play football, come back, eat a pizza and some chicken wings and felt a pain up my left arm. I waited an hour, and it kept growing, myjaw went numb, I felt weirdly calm as my chest warmed up as if I'd drank a litre of Jack Daniels. I was having a heart episode, I'm still not sure how to define it- If it wa5 a heart attack orjust heightened anxiety- but suddenly I was in hospital for 4 days and being told to stop taking my medication. The strangest thing was that it was the calmest I had been since everything had started! I had started taking Xaggitin XLto medicate my ADHD- and caused a whole host of problems1 21 Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd. Trustee Report (incorporating the directors report) couldn't have imagined, intensely negative side e5ects in a varlety of ways. Then I met Tracey, at the time I was a bleary-eyed sap entirely broken by my circumstances, I had gotten out of hospital and just couldn't work out how to get back My normal life. I had been through such a whirlwind of things in such a short period of time, l just wanted everything to go back to normal! Tracey broke thing5 down for me and made it all seem a bit more possible. I started facing my problems head on and running at them, instead of just walking in the opposite direction as I was before. I previously worked in a homeless shelter and Tracey recognised I might be able to fill an opening at Bridge and it felt like the reason why all of this had happened! To find a role I truly love and enjoy with a great company, interesting days and lovely and supportive people. It may sound cliché, but it was as if all the bad stu5 happened to put me where I needed to be! I went for a co5ee with Mike, Andrea, Tracey and Murat and felt almost fated for the role, by the time the formal interview came around I wa5 almost convinced this was where I was supposed to be. Now I have gone from supported to supporter- l am able to approach things in a unique way having been on both sides of the fencel I want to help people be better and do better and my own experiences have inferred my professional practice. In short Bridge helped me rebuild in a way I couldn't have imagined. Tracey went out on a limb for me and as such will always be an absolute superstar in my eyes, I hope l am able to leave the lasting impression on my clients that Tracey did with mel I loved my previous job at the homeless shelter, but Bridge is without doubt the best job I've ever hadl I have gained an enormous amount of confidence since I started, and it only continues to grow, I hope to be able to repay the faith everyone has shown In mel I now have a flat on my own, a moped to get me places, work a job I love and contlnue to grow, supporting others on thelr Journey. I have found helping other people to be the best medicine. 22 Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd.

Trustee Report (incorporating the directors report) Financial Review The Directors of 8ridge 86 Limited are charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the Companws article5 of association, they comprisethe Board of Tru5teesand are referred to asTrustees. The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. In this Report, references to Bridge Support, the Company and the Charlty are to Bridge 86 Limited. Bridge Support established a wholly owned subsidiary on 26 July 2017 called Stir Enterprises Limited. References to the Group are to the consolidated results of Bridge support and Stir Enterprises Ltd. The Trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current Statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recomrnended Practlce - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. Income and Expenditure The Group has made a surplus of £4,851 (2024: £18,142) during the year. An impairment provision carried over from 2023124, which had been made in the accounts of Bridge 86 Limited to reflect in full the intercompany balance between stir Enterprises Limited and Bridge 86 Limited at 31st March 2025 of £286,761 {2024: £286,761). stir Enterprises Ltd wholly owned by Bridge 86 Ltd will formerly be liquidated in the coming year. Income for the year again increased substantially to £11,075,513 from £8,126,325 in 2024 (which had itself increased substantially). Thls was achieved through the full year effects of winnlng the tender for the High and Medium support services in North and West Essex and our New services in Essex Mid and South. New servlces in Kingston 'Norbiton and Homersham" and subsequent price increases achieved in the year. The main elements of expenditure Incurred in supporting our clients were the salaries of support workers and the costs of renting properties to accommodate clients. The salary costs of staff, includlng expenditure on agency staff, directly involved in sUPPOrting clients amounted to £11,070,662 (2024: £4.456,5331. The cost5 of renting properties have increased to £1,279,65712024: £1,095,302). Balance Sheet The balance sheet cash holdings of £370,706 (2024: £1,119,279). General Funds available stand at £1,182,80012024: £1,177,949). 38 Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd. Trustee Report lincorporatinE the directors report) Reserves Policy At the end of the year reserve5 amounted to £1,182,800 {2024: £1,177,949) which represented 1.28 12024: 1.74) months, worth of expenditure. The level of the Charity's reserves is considered at board meetings which are held every two months. The reserves policy, which was reviewed by the Finance and Audit Sub Committee and Board in November 2024, is to maintain unrestricted funds at a level equivalentto months expenditure. The reduction in the measure of the months, worth of expenditure held in reserves reflects the growth of the expenditure base to deliverthe new contracts noted above. The Finance and Auditsub Committee and Board also considered an alternative riskweighted reserves policy in November 2024, based on the same methodology considered in 2024. They assessed the level of risk of a significant drop in the level of funding, applied this level of risk to the key areas of expenditure which might require reserves to be utilised to meet financial obligations and concluded that they covered the financial obligations 1.28 times {2024: 1.74 tirne5). Furthermore, they believe that there are sufficient reserves in place to remain a going concern for at least 12 months from date the Annual Report and Accounts are approved. Prlnclpal Rlsks and Uncertalnties The increase5 In Inf latlon and the cost-of-11vlng crisis have resulted in the third successlve signlflcant Increase in the hourly rates of pay published by the Living Wage Foundation, These increases amounted to 10.1% outside of London and by 8.2% in London in 2023 and were followed by further increases in hourly rates of IO% both within London and outside of London in 2024. As a member of the Living Wage Foundation Bridge Support has Increased the salaries of its staff to these levels. We have seen further increases in 2025 published by the Living Wage Foundation of 5% outside of London and 5.05% in London as well increase to our Employers Nl costs which will result in further increase of 1.2% both taklng effect from April 2025. The risks of the impacts of hlgher levels of i nflation and the cost-of-l iving crisis are monltored closely with the production of regular management accounts which are scrutini5ed by the Finance and Audit Sub-committee and then Board, and where necessary remedial action taken. Living Wage increases have been discussed with commissioners to fund these increases, Services for the support of 161 clients in the Mid and South of Essex have been tendered and were awarded to Bridge Support with effect from April 2024. Contratts with the Royal Borough of st Greenwich for Medium Support and Flexible Community Support have been extended to 31 July 2026 whilst we understand that these contracts will be subject to Direct award rather than competitive tendering. Trustees have assessed other major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and to the best of thelr knowledge are satisfied that appropriate systems are in place to mitigate exposure to those risks, The Charity maintains a Risk Register that is reviewed by the Executive team, and this is then considered by the Trustees. Specific ri5k5 and uncertainties are considered within the Risk Register. The Trustees have identified key risks include achieving contract pricing uplifts for services and maintaining full capacity in projects to avoid the under-recovery of hou5ifbg benefit. Bridge has sought opportunities for providing support to clients in neighbouring areas and as a result in likely to provide further services in the 50Uthwest of London, building on the pilot which started in Kingston in February 2023. 39 Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd, Trustee Report (incorporating the directors report} Key Management Remuneration The Remuneration Committee reviews the remuneration of the Executive Team, within the terms of the framework and policy agreed by the Board and makes appropriate recommendations.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to event5 or conditions that, individual ly or collectively, may cast Significant doubt on the grou p or parent charitsble company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve month5 from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd. Trustee Report (incorporating the director5 report} Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial staternent5 or our knowledge obtained during the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fart. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinlons on other matters prescrlbed by the Companles Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken during the audit: The information given in the trustees, report (incorporating the directors, report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and The directors, report included within the trustees, report has been prepared in accordance wlth applicable legal requirements.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, di5cIosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operation5, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 45 Bridge 86 Ltd Bridge 86 Ltd. Trustee Report {incorporating the directors report) Auditorfs responsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 155ue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material mi55tatement when it exists, Misstatements can arise from fra ud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exterbt to which our procedure5 can detect irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and parent Charitable Company and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of the group and parent Charitable Company not complying with the appllcable laws and regulation5 including fraud particularly those regulations directly related to the financial statements, including firbanclal reporting, and tax legislation. In relation to the operations of the group and parent Charitable Company this included compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and Companie5 kt 2006. The risks were discussed with the audit team, and we remained alert to any indications of non- compliance throughout the audit. We carried out specific procedures to 3ddre5S the risks identified. These included the following: Reviewing minutes of Board meetlngs, reviewing any correspondence with the Charity Commission, agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supportlng documentation, and made enqulrles of management and officer5 of the group and parent Charitable Company. We have also reviewed the procedures in place for the reporting of any incidents to the Trustee Board including serious incident reporting of these matters as necessary with the Charity Commission. We reviewed expenditure on legal fees during the period and the risk register maintained by the charitable group. Management override: To address the rlsk of management override of controls, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustment for appropriateness. We also assessed management bias i n relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining significant accounting estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is the risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non- compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that cornpliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involved intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
