Annual Report 2022123 Visioii Active Listening believes everyone in the midst of crisis should have someone they can talk to - in Gonfidence, without judgement and the freedom to determine their next step. What do we do? Active Listen'.ng stands in the gap providing hope. Active Listening receives referrals from the emergency services for adults in the midst of crisis for whom we offer face-to-face confidential listening and signposting. How it works 1. Person in midst of crisis - Emergency services assess the situation If criteria are met emergency services refer to Active Listening 2. Active Listening assess the referral for suitability Accepted referral is directed to a local Team Coordinator 3. Team Coordinator assesses the referral and assigns two team members Team Members make contact with person in midst of crisis We are committed to the following values: Local-a Northern Ireland based charity working in partnership with PSNI Confidential-we provide a confidential listening and signposting service to vulnerable adults referred by PSNI Available to all-we will meet anyone from the local community regardless of gender, race, creed or culture Supportive to support people struggling with domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, suicide or risk of suicide, debt, self-harm, bereavement and depression. Offered through a Christian ethos our volunteers are all committed members of the local community of Christian faith. Page 4 of22

Annual Report 2022123 Chairman's Introduction Welcome to our 2022123 Annual Report In Northern Ireland many people who are in the midst of crisis need to talk to someone about their own personal situation. Active Listening has evolved from the belief that such people deserve to have someone to talk to in confidence, without judgement, yet retaininEJ the freedom to resolve their own issue. During 2022123 the members of the Board of Trustees continued to exercise their key responsibilities- Spiritually - As a faith-based organisation it was necessary that the backbone of the charity's work was underpinned with a spiritual dimension Strategically - The Board developed the charity's strategy in liaison with the Chief Executive Officer Administratively - All members exercised their oversight and legal responsibilities in close cooperation with the Chief Executive Officer During the past year the work of Active Listening was greatly blessed by its many Christian volunteers who have a heart and compassion for people and wish to share God's love to everyone through their service in this domain. In planning the work of the charity in a post covid environment face to face meetings continued to be replaced by video and telephone calls and volunteers were stretched by the significant increase in referrals. Previous financial reports commented on the challenges of operating on a shoestring budget and having limited financial support. However, we are grateful for the still positive end of year figures presented in this 2022123 Annual Report. As Chair aiid on behalf of the Board I would like to thank our listening and signposting teams across Northern Ireland for the key role they each play in providing support for those in need. Much appreciation needs to be extended to all members of the Management Team for their role in managing the work of Active Listening, promoting its links with PSNI, managing existing teams and developing and training all volunteers. Sincere thanks to our Chief Executive Officer for his support, commitment and energy to the overall leadership of the charity and to all trustees on the Board for their prayers, support and dedication throughout the past year in furthering the work of Active Listening. Ross Chair of the Board of Trustees Page 5 of 22

Annual Report 2022123 Chief Executive Officer's Statement During the 2022123 reporting period, Northern Ireland is continuing its struggle to recover from the longer term impacts of the Covid pandemic alongside ongoing political instability and the cost of living. Despite the immense challenges the good people of Northern Ireland face, from a global perspective, our lives are considerably better than most. How can one person make a difference? Simple, don't stand on the side-lines watching. Find a way of helping and 'jusl do Our Active Libtening Volunteers have been engaged with hundreds of people in the midst of crisis including mental health, loneliness, abuse, fraud and bereavement. They have chosen to stand in the gap, offering a compassionate, Christian response. It's time for every person in Northern Ireland to accept a personal responsibility in supporting our public services. Don't stand on the side-lines, be part of the solution. During this reporting period Active Listening has received hundreds of referrals from Officers and Staff across PSNI. My thanks for their support and referrals as they deal with an array of issues, many of which are beyond the scope of their responsibility. My thanks to our compassionate and dedicated volunteers throughout the organisation for standing in the gap. My thanks also to the Board of Trustees for their unwavering support, governance and capacity to unfold complexity. Sam Wilson Chief Executive Officer Page 6 of 22

Annual Report 2022123 Trustees, Annual Report The Trustees, who are also the directors under company law, present their annual report and financial accounts for the year ended 30 April 2023. This report has been prepared in accordaiice with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption. Structure, Governance and Management Structure Active Listening is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated in 2010, having been founded by (the late) Mike Elwood in 2007. Active Listening's Office and Leadership Team is based in Ballymena. The Management Team are based throughout Northern Ireland and provide support to the Active Listening Teams. The Leadership team is responsible to the Board of Trustees. Active Listening volunteer teams are based in six districts - Antrim and Newtownabbey, Aids aiid North Down, Causeway Coast and Glens, Mid and East Antrim, Mid Ulster and Omagh and Fermanagh. They are managed by a Team Coordinator who reports to the Management Team. Governance Active Listening is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association which were substantially revised in 2014 when the charity was applying for registration with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. The governing body is the Board of Trustees, which currently has four members, who are also the Directors of the Company. The Board is advised by the Chief Executive OffI￿r (CEO) who delivers operational leadership of Active Listening. A Management Team manages our Volunteers carrying out activities including recruitment, induction and training, continuing development and PR activities. Board members can attend operational meetings at their discretion. The Board meets formally a Ininimum of four times a year. Our CEO and Management Team meet monthly. The CEO advises and guides the Board of Trustees on key policy issues and acts as a channel of communication between the Board and all operational Volunteers. Although the Trustees are responsible for directing the affairs of the charity, they have delegated the operational activity to the Chief Executive Officer and his team. However significant matters are specifically reserved for the Board's decision and cannot be delegated. These include the strategic direction of the charity, the approval of key policies, the approval of operational plans (including significant contractual spend), the approval of budgets and the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer. Subject to the above, the CEO can approve routine contracts, authorise expenditure and recruit volunteers in a way consistent with the charity's strategic direction and in line with annual budgets approved by the Board. Appointment of Trustees Ali individual may be appointed as a Trustee as long as a majority of the board vote in favour of appointment. Appointments are confirmed annually at the AGM. Page 8 0122

Annual Report 2022123 Induction of Trustees Following ap')ointment, each Trustee undertakes an induction programme which includes a guide to the vision, values of the charity, the charity's governing documents and the policies of the charity. New Trustees are also encouraged to attend Volunteer and Coordinator events. New Trustees are encouraged to attend Volunteer and Coordinator training days, meet with volunteers at their monthly team meetings and attend the monthly Management Team Meetings. Risk Management The charity operates an annual planning and budget process approved by the Board of Trustees. As an integral part of this prO￿ss, there is an assessment of key risks facing the Charity and how these risks can be mitigated. Going Concern The activities of the charity are dependent on the ongoing financial support of its Lonors. After reviewing the charities, cash flows for the 2022123 period, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period of twelve months from the accounting date of these financial statements. The charity has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. Reserves Policy In setting the reserves policy the Board of Trustees considers the need to provide against any future income shortfall, fulfil our working capital requirements and allow funds to be available to support team growth and training needs. This has to be balanced against the need to spend reserves now to enable us to provide our listening and signposting services. The Trustees have retained sufficient reserves to allow the charity to operate for the coming year. Page 9 of22

Annual Report 2022123 Principal Risks and Uncertainties The Board of Trustees considers the principal risks and uncertainties for the chari'y together with the mitigating actions being taken to manage those risks. They are as follows.. Principal risk and uncertainties Mitigating action Authorisation to receive referrals Active Listening works in partnership with PSNI and receives referrals directly from them Developing new procedures and streamliiiing current procedures and policies to ensure this process works effectively for both organisations. Not being able to meet the key needs of all our stakeholders including Volunteers, our funders and our partners. Active Listening is fundamentally about making a positive impact on vulnerable adults in crisis. However we have to ensure that volunteers, funders and PSNI needs are satisfied too, to ensure the survival of the charity. Communication is key to ensuring all stakeholders understand why iecisions have been made. The inability to maintain financial stability whilst operating in a highly competitive environment to secure funding. The fundraising strategy is focussed on ensuring that the charity is not reliant on one single source of funding to ensure its financial sustainability Expenditure plans are developed in advance and growth is controlled to ensure it is financially sustainable. Retention aiid recruitment of volunteer listeners Look to develop new avenues of recruitment and raise the awareness of the work that Active Listening does. At times it may become necessary to halt referrals to protect our volunteers from taking on more than they can safely mana Approved by the Board of Trustees on 24 January 2024 and signed on its behalf by: Raymond Ross Chair of the Board of Trustees Page 10 0122
