Our range of funders has diversified greatly and includes the following, among others:
Dept of Health

BBC Children In Need
Comic Relief
Big Lottery Awards For All
Belfast City Counci I

The Community Foundation Nl
CME Group
Translink
Halifax
Pinsent Masons
Allen & Ovarv
Bank Of Ireland
Garfield Weston Foundation
In the last year, Cara-Friend experienced an unprecedented surge in demand for our services.
This surge is attributable to a confluence of factors, including:
> A significant surge in demand for our LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Schools Charter and LGBTQIA+
Inclusive Business Charter due to increased investment from new sponsors into these
innovative programmes of work.
The enhanced accessibility of our online services, which proved to be a lifeline and sole
avenue to achieving support for LGBTQIA+ individuals residing in rural and isolated locales.
> The compatibi lity of onli ne platforms such as discord servers with the preferences a nd
needs of younger community members, particularly those who are not openly out and
previously did not engage with in-person services, and especially those who have
> A heightened demand for mental health support services within our community, a direct
aftermath of the stress brought on by the increase to the cost of living, a more hostile policy
and media landscape, compounding the pre-existing challenges facing LGBTQIA+ individuals
in society today.

Chief Offlcerfs Report Continuted
In Northern Ireland, the journey towards a soclety that embodies inclusivity, tolerance, and
acceptance continues at a gradual pace. At Cara-Friend, we take pride In being at the forefront
of this transformative Journeyi spearheading public campaign coalitions that have historically
brought about significant legislative milestones, such as the legalisation of Equal Marriage. Our
collaborative efforts with fellow campaigners and polltlcal allies were instrumental In securing
a Stormont vote to ban Converslon Therapy. We eagerly anticipate further advancements
from the Department for Communities in terms of new legislation pertainlng to this matter
and the long-awaited Sexual Orientation Strategy.
Our engagement in various public consultations, submissions, forums, and advocacy efforts
has been crucial in promoting the Equality and Human Rights Agendas for LGBTQIA+
individua15 of all ages and backgrounds throughout Northern Ireland. Moreover, we have
strategically nurtured a discreet and constructlve dialogue wlth those who oppose the
LGBTQIA+ community, focusing on engagement and education rather than solely relying on
protest.
We extend our heartfelt 8ratitude to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and Board members.
Their unwavering commitment, expertlse, and professionallsm are the bedrock upon which
Cara-Friend has built its reputation. Thanks to their efforts, our service users have continued
to recelve invaluable support across a spectrum of servlces including our helpllne, community
events, youth services, family support, training, education, as well as serv5ces addressing
domestic abuse and mental health.
Their dedication has also ensured that Cara-Friend not only maintains but also enhances its
stature as an organisation that truly listens to and is guided by the LGBTQIA+ community. We
are more than an organisation; we are a familyto all those withln the LGBTQIA+ community
who rely on us.
Our fundamental mission is to walk alongside our service users and community members,
supporting them on their Journey towards a more affirmlng Northern Ireland. A future where
they can lead happier, safer, and more fulfilled lives, free from prejudice and discrimination.
This commitment extends to all persecuted and oppressed minorities in Northern Ireland,
affirming our belief that equality should be universal and indlscriminate.
We also pledge to do so for all persecuted or oppressed minorities in N. Ireland.
Equality is equality for all.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is
recognised at the time of the donation.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents
amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of
discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
1.5 Resources expended
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 a transfer of economic benefits will
be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measure reliably.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that
aggregate all cost related to the category.

expenditure on an activity basis. The charity has opted to report by the nature of expenditure
rather than on an activity basis.
1.6 Tangible fixed a55ets

valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Computers
20% on cost

liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank
overdrafts are shown within borrowing5 in current liabilities.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and
Section 12'0ther Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes
party to contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial
statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amount5 and there
is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

discharged or cancelled.

demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination
benefits.
1.13 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based
on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results mav
differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the
revision affects both current and future periods.
