Structure, governance and management

A Safe Space To Be Me Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Articles of Association which were adopted 4 March 2020. It is recognised as a charity by HMRC, number NI00895 and by the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland, number NIC107789.

The Company's Articles of Association require that the number of trustees be not less than no more than twelve. All trustees are given guidelines on their responsibiltiies and on how meetings are conducted.

None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the Company. Each of the trustees are members of the Company and are liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the Company in the event of liquidation.

The charity is governed by its constitution and managed by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees are appointed based on their professional expertise, lived experience, community representation, or specialist knowledge relevant to the charity’s aims. Recruitment was carried out through open calls, community networks, and professional referrals.

The Board meets regularly to oversee strategy, compliance, risk management, safeguarding, finances, and service development. Operational delivery is led by the Senior Director with support from staff and volunteers working across therapeutic services, ADHD support, community initiatives, and digital development.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Governance Changes and Director Resignation

During the reporting year, the Board recorded the resignation of the former Financial Director and Trustee, Ms. Siobhain Murphy, whose resignation became effective on 30 September 2025. In line with her request and following appropriate governance advice, her removal from the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland register and the Companies House public register was completed on 11 November 2025.

Ms. Murphy had originally indicated her intention to remain in a transitional voluntary capacity until the end of October 2025 to support the completion of the 2024–2025 accounts and the migration to new financial systems. However, these tasks were not finalised prior to her departure. As a result, the charity had to work closely with its accountants and trustees to complete a full review of the financial records for the relevant period.

Given the timing of Ms. Murphy’s resignation and the additional accounts work needed, the Board agreed that her continued appearance on public registers was no longer appropriate. All administrative, digital, and governance permissions associated with her role have been fully revoked, and her cessation of office has been recorded in accordance with statutory requirements.

The Board also undertook a programme of governance strengthening immediately following her departure. This included convening Extraordinary Board Meetings (12 November 2025) to ensure continuity, induct newly appointed trustees, and reaffirm the charity’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and compliance with Charity Commission and Companies House expectations.

The financial review is now complete and the trustees are satisfied that at the date of signing of this report, all figures included represent a true and fair view of the financial position of the charity.

2. Objectives and Activities

Charitable Purposes

The charity’s principal objectives remain:

2

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the public benefit statutory guidance issued by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.

Main Activities Undertaken to Advance These Purposes

All activities are expressly designed to improve mental health, reduce isolation, promote wellbeing, and meet identified needs within the community.

3. Achievements and Performance

ADHD Service Expansion and Impact

This year marked the formal launch of the charity’s ADHD Service, which experienced unprecedented levels of demand from individuals, families, and professionals across Northern Ireland and beyond. Requests for support significantly exceeded projected levels and highlighted substantial gaps in statutory provision for neurodivergent individuals.

The charity has delivered ADHD support and consultation to a range of organisations including NHSCT, BHSCT, and multiple community and educational partners, demonstrating both the scale of unmet need and the credibility of our approach.

The ADHD & Me workshops, developed internally by the Senior Director, continued to receive exceptional feedback. Many attendees described the sessions as transformative, reporting improvements in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and quality of life. This reinforces the charity's commitment to delivering specialist, neurodivergent-affirming, strengths-based interventions.

In response to demand, the charity accelerated the rollout of two new strands:

These developments further extend the reach and strategic sustainability of the ADHD programme.

3

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Professional ADHD Training Programme

The charity launched a comprehensive Professional ADHD Training Programme designed for schools, youth services, community organisations, mental health practitioners, and workplaces.

Early pilot sessions were extremely successful and received strong feedback, particularly in relation to:

This programme represents a key component of the charity’s move toward a self-sustaining income model, while also fulfilling a broader public benefit by equipping professionals to better support neurodivergent individuals.

Counselling Services

Counselling remains a central expression of the charity’s mission. Since the organisation’s establishment, over 3,500 counselling sessions have been delivered to adults, children, and young people.

Demand has continued to rise, particularly in the children and young people’s service, where the waiting list reached capacity and required temporary closure. Work is underway to build capacity and reopen this list as resources allow.

A significant achievement this year was the charity’s successful tender for the NHSCT Carers Counselling Pilot Programme (July 2025). The programme provides carers with a block of six counselling sessions and offers a vital stream of unrestricted income, supporting financial stability during a period of wider organisational transition.

Streamlining of Services and Internal Infrastructure

Work continued on strengthening the charity’s internal systems to improve:

This included further development of the ADHD pathway, refinement of digital workflows, and the establishment of more robust internal processes to enable the charity to work at scale.

4

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

These improvements ensure that services can grow safely and sustainably, supported by clear governance and operational structure.

Strategic Partnerships

Partnership working remains central to the charity’s model. Collaborations with schools, businesses, statutory bodies, and community organisations have enabled new joint programmes, training delivery, and community outreach initiatives.

The charity completed a six-month mentoring programme with Lloyds Bank, which provided valuable support in digital presence, marketing strategy, and organisational development. This partnership helped lay the foundation for a period of significant planned growth and transformation.

Following the successful award of Dormant Accounts funding in November 2025, the charity is now preparing for a major organisational restructure and relaunch. This funding will accelerate progress on a strategic plan that originally anticipated Year 3 milestones, enabling rapid development in areas such as:

External consultants will support this process, ensuring that the charity is positioned to deliver long-term, sustainable impact.

Community Engagement and Activities

Community need has continued to rise significantly. The community larder has recorded its busiest year to date, supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity.

The charity continued to deliver a diverse range of community-based programmes including:

These initiatives help reduce isolation, build practical skills, and strengthen community cohesion, particularly for individuals with ADHD, autistic individuals, and those experiencing social exclusion.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Crumlin Hub – National Lottery Funding Secured

A major milestone this year was securing five years of National Lottery funding to sustain and develop the Crumlin Hub. This multi-year investment enhances long-term stability and enables:

The evaluation conducted last year indicated that the charity had outgrown its existing structures. The National Lottery funding validated this assessment by demonstrating significant demand for our services.

As a result of the evaluation, audit, and organisational review, several core needs were identified:

Governance & Leadership

Expansion of the Board to include stronger expertise across finance, HR, corporate engagement, strategic leadership, and safeguarding. This ensures the charity has the structures and accountability required to support future growth.

Diversification & Sustainability

Implementation of the income diversification model outlined in the strategic plan, reducing grant dependency and establishing the charity as a leading authority in neuro-affirming practice across Northern Ireland.

The combined outcomes of this work will include:

The Dormant Accounts funding provides the foundation for building the “organisational backbone” required to deliver this next phase of growth.

Website and Social Media Development

Demand for the charity’s services has continued to grow rapidly, reflected in a marked increase in online traffic, referral enquiries, and engagement across all digital platforms. In response, the

6

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

charity has undertaken a comprehensive overhaul of its website, digital infrastructure, and social media presence to ensure that service users, professionals, and community members can access information quickly, safely, and in a way that reflects best practice in accessibility.

The redevelopment includes:

Social media activity has also been refined to provide clearer communication, faster updates on service availability, and targeted outreach to underserved groups. The revised strategy ensures that online communication remains aligned with the charity’s values of neuro-affirming practice, transparency, and community support.

The new website and social media framework are scheduled to go live shortly and are expected to be transformational for both service users and staff, supporting:

This digital redevelopment forms a core part of the charity’s wider organisational strengthening work and will be a key driver of long-term sustainability, accessibility, and community impact.

4. Plans for the Future

The coming year marks a period of significant consolidation, growth, and strategic development for the charity. Building on the progress made throughout 2024–2025—and informed by recent governance reviews, increased demand, and new multi-year funding—the Board has agreed the following priorities.

7

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Action Plan Going Forward

These priorities will be supported by ongoing governance improvements, Dormant Accounts funding, and planned external consultancy to ensure the organisation continues to develop robust, future-proof structures.

Upcoming Events and Service Developments

8

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

significantly increase the organisation’s ability to provide therapeutic support for children, young people, and adults, helping to reduce waiting times and manage growing community need.

5. Public Benefit Statement

The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s Public Benefit Guidance when planning, delivering, and reviewing all activities undertaken during the year.

All programmes are designed to relieve mental and emotional distress, promote wellbeing, reduce inequality, and address unmet needs, particularly within neurodivergent communities— while providing clear and demonstrable benefit to the wider public across Northern Ireland.

6. Financial Review

The financial statements are presented in the standard format required by the Charities SORP activities of A Safe Space To Be Me Ltd. The Statement of Financial Activties (SOFA) on page 10 shows the gross income from all sources and the split of activity between restricted and unrestricted funds. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to around 6 months expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The charity's main source of income is grant funding and donations. Total income of the charity during the year ended 31 March 2025 was £155,147 compared to £176,534 in 2024. Expenditure during the year has decreased from £163,618 in 2024 to £161,416 in 2025. The overall result is that the charity reported a deficit of £6,269 in 2025 compared to a surplus of £12,916 in 2024.

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical costconvention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the FinancialReporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Companies Act 2006. The principle accounting policies which have been applied consistently throughout are set out below.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charity.

Charitable Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Incoming Resources

Income from charitable activities is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

Income from grants, whether 'capital' or 'revenue' grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income from donations and legaices are recorded as received as entitlement arises at that stage and are classified as restricted or unrestricted according to any conditions stipulated/intended.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. This is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

14

A SAFE SPACE TO BE ME LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Accounting Policices (continued)

Resources Expended

Expenditure on charitable activities is recognised once there is a legal and constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. The charity is below the charity audit threshold and therefore is exempt from reporting expenditure on an activity basis. The charity has opted to report by the nature of expenditure rather than on an activity basis.

Tangible assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on process prevailing at the date of acquisition of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Fixtures, Fittings & Office Equipment - 20% reducing balance

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Operating Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the income and expenditure account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
