PUBLIC BENEFIT The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and take the responsibility to ensure the organisation takes the requirement to operate for public benefit seriously. The trustees confirm that the organisation meets its objectives and carries out its activities for public benefit by providing the following services:
Online, self-help and download materials located at www.survivorsmanchester.org.uk, enabling male survivors to increasetheir understanding of the general and specific impacts of sexual abuse, with the aim of assisting individuals in identifying their own issues and increase the process of positive and adaptive healing.
Email support service (via support@survivorsmanchester.org.uk) which allows individuals to engage directly with the support team in the organisation, on their terms and using email platform to keep a level of anonymity.
Direct telephone support on 0161 236 2182 for everyone engaged in our support services.
Facilitated peer-support groups, both in physical and digital spaces, that aim to encourage male survivors to share knowledge and promote increase wellbeing of each other in healing; all which aids building community.

SURVIVORS MANCHESTER ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2020
The trustees can also evidence the organisations further adherence to public benefit by committing to raising public awareness of the issue of the sexual abuse of boys and men through its campaigning activities, such as #BreakTheSilence campaigns shared on social media and in the local and national press;
by continuing to engage in high profile arts and entertainment vehicles such as Coronation Street and Hollyoaks in ‘telling stories that are both truthful and informative.
Having key senior staff on various forms and panels, such as Greater Manchester RASSO Partnership; Crown Prosecution Service Rape Scrutiny Panel; National Rape Working Group; and Greater Manchester Health and Justice Executive Board to ensure the voices of boys and men affected by sexual violence remain heard; and work closely and in partnership with other male survivor services through the formation of the Male Survivors Partnership (UK) to ensure that there is a stronger, more collective national voice, available for male survivors to be heard and that duplication is kept to a minimum so public monies are spent responsibly and effectively.
The primary beneficiaries of the charity are males over the age of 18 who have been victims/survivors of sexual abuse, assault and/or rape. The organisations primary beneficiaries can be viewed as vulnerable adults and therefore it is imperative that all activities are carried out sensitively and with due care and attention to ensure that no further harm or re-traumatisation comes to the client. The organisation has secondary beneficiaries in those indirectly affected by male sexual violence, such as the loved one of a male victim/survivor; and tertiary beneficiaries in those working with or know male survivors.
Whilst the organisation’s current area of benefit is Greater Manchester (comprising the 10 metropolitan boroughs of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan), we formally extended our operating area throughout England and Wales.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” Not a truer sentence could be more relevant than now at a time when the shifting sands of life change the landscape almost daily! We, as a board, are truly amazed at how time has flown this past year since we wrote our last Trustee’s report. Presented by the Chair of this amazing charity Survivors Manchester, we believe this is the epi centre of kindness and support for all survivors. Time can be a funny thing, it can be a friend or an enemy, it’s limitless and spans past present and future, it can also be a reminder of things good and bad but one thing we do know is that time is constant and can be a great healer, if you let it! So, a huge and warm welcome to the annual Trustee’s report April 2019 to March 2020. You will see from the areas we will cover shortly the depth and breadth of the work not only of our organisation and its people but how the survivor movement has grown, in power, size and force and as the silence of abuse starts to fade and all survivors have a voice and will be heard, we want that silencing of survivors to eventually become extinct #BreakTheSilence. This is a look back over yet again what’s been a rollercoaster of a year, scattered with turbulent times, moments of joy and giant successes! But we write these opening remarks it would be remiss of us not to acknowledge that as we come to the end of the financial year we are facing unprecedented times, not just as a charity or a nation but as societies and citizens across the planet. We are experiencing a global pandemic of epic proportions that was unexpected and has been devastating with disastrous and long-lasting consequences. This invisible killer, Covid-19 doesn’t just affect people’s physical health but it brutally touches our mental wellbeing, education, social interaction, human connectivity, and lifestyles and will undoubtedly reshape our future. This is no time for complacency but a time for solidarity. We are stronger together and we must secure a future we can all be proud of.
We, Survivors Manchester, will continue to deliver the very best support of gold standard proportions we can for every survivor who needs our help! #BreakTheSilence 8

THIS YEAR’S JOURNEY‌ As we drew the financial year to an end, the public was told of the biggest rape case in British legal history, that of Reynhard Sinaga. This case, which we had been deeply involved with for over 18 months prior, erupted not only in the demand for our services but through our legal system and the entire media circus that comes with such a high profile heinous crime. Our ISVA team worked tirelessly and relentlessly supporting victims/survivors, managing the process with Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, whilst our therapy team supported those directly and indirectly affected by this crime; and working with our partners, we collectively provided a world class service to hundreds of people affected by these abhorrent acts of abuse that spanned years. It feels wrong to say well done but we, as a board, could not be prouder of our team in how they have handled this, their professionalism and personal resolve, it was truly outstanding and remarkable. Really goes to show that when you invest in your people, the rewards are huge for all. Keeping with the team theme we saw two new members, Richard and Subo, join us to increase our support in providing our therapy service. Following discussion with NHS England, one of our key commissioners, we began planning and developing to pilot our OUT Spoken Talking Therapy service in HMP Garth and HMP Hindley. This development meant that an opportunity for one of our shining star team members, Carl, beginning to take on a more defined leadership role. This was not only to support his professional growth but also emphasising our commitment to promoting home grown talent. We are looking forward to seeing how 2020-21 will help the team as a whole grow. We also in invested in our groupwork offer and began adding to our community based work with the addition of a brand new post, our Group & Community Development Worker which was taken by an ex-service user; similarly, an early user of our services joined us on the board of trustees, both people offering invaluable insight and positive challenge to the organisation that can only help us grow.

SURVIVORS MANCHESTER ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2020
We have begun investing further in our volunteer programme and learning more on how we can better engage survivors in the organisational development. Part of this desire to ensure survivors are at the front and centre of the organisation resulted in the creation of an Expert Advisory Panel and the lessons we have learned from that is now taking us to a place to develop a formal service user council. All of this enhances what we do as an organisation and more importantly how we do it! Survivors Manchester has always been survivor-led and we are determined to ensure that this continues regardless of what the world looks like and changes throughout the global pandemic.
The board also felt it was extremely important that we continued our commitment and promise to staff regarding a review of staffing structures, salaries and our overall investment in the resource available. Following an independent evaluation report from HR Consultant, Gill Taylor, the board agreed a new benchmark and appropriate salary structure that recognised the contribution and ongoing loyalty from our staff. Our CEO, Duncan Craig, who is not only our founder and leader but a pioneer and champion for all survivors once again excelled in all he has done this year and we are incredibly proud of him.
Duncan continues to speak at national and international conferences and ensure that he play’s his part in ensuring the voices of survivors are heard at all levels across the political and partnership spectrum but there are three moments this year which are an absolute triumph. In May 2019, he had the ultimate privilege to join some of our international colleagues, including Dr Chris Dolan and Ken Clearwater and visit Uganda to talk at the 4th SSI (South-South Institute) on Male Sexual Violence in Conflict. Duncan spent time with male survivors from the groups developed with the Refugee Law Project and once again, the feedback he gave to the board and the staff team of his experience and the men he’d met has resulted in us as an organisation wanting to do more and we hope in 2020-21, we can host the 5th SSI right here in Manchester – we have to do more to stretch out our hand to those boys and men who have experienced sexual violence in conflict across the world and are here in the UK now for safety. We need to understand the needs of undocumented survivors, those seeking asylum and refugees. No person should ever be expected to suffer in silence, regardless of their status.

In Sept 2019, we all got a glimpse into the superb work Duncan has been a part of when he gave evidence at the Women and Equalities Select Committee in Parliament, which was a huge privileged and humbling experience for him and us all. Then in Feb 2020, Duncan was invited to visit Chicago to join the Canadian Centre for Child Protection and undertake some work with a group of men who were all victims/survivors of CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). The experience Duncan fedback to us is resulting in us looking at how we can engage CSAM survivors better and are delighted these inspiring men are supporting our work, helping us to be better. Under our CEO’s leadership, we have been able to deliver a number of specific assembly’s, using our work with Hollyoaks on the football abuse storyline, to create conversations with boys and young men on abuse being genderless. This is something we hope to do further work in 2020-21. This work with Schools only really happened because of a project that we are incredibly impressed and proud to have developed, the cutting edge work we have done with the Diocese of Salford. We have worked closely with Diocese of Salford and Greater Manchester Rape Crisis on our joint ‘Healing Through Community’, delivering workshops to clergy on supporting male victims/survivors and who project been such a success that now committed to three years. We have also engaged with the Diocese of Manchester on supporting their work to review cases and thanks to Bishop David for inviting us to the table. This is an area we see will go from strength to strength as we continue to build our relationships and embed and expand our work.
Finally, as the dawn of 2020 began and we said goodbye to 2019, we held our first Symposium to mark the end of our 10th Anniversary Year. The event was so well received and so many of the board were directly involved in planning, developing and participating in. The whole team had an amazing experience being involved in it. Attendees included fellow Greater Manchester third sector organisational staff and leaders; local and national policy leads; and some key personnel from our North West prisons.

SURVIVORS MANCHESTER ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2020
Our staff team were the speakers, along with some of our Ambassadors and volunteers and partners, and for us, it was also wonderful way of celebrating our love and pride for our CEO, Duncan, who received an OBE from Her Majesty the Queen for his lifelong contribution to supporting male victims of rape and child abuse. An enormous well done and thank you to Duncan from all the board, the staff team, the whole organisation and all survivors for everything he does. What an absolutely incredible year it’s been. 2020 is without a doubt going to test us to our limits but with a workforce like ours, we’re sure to rise to the challenge. As the world begins to understand the impact of the beginning of the Coronavirus Pandemic; it is clear that we will be needing to adapt to meet changes in society and in the way we engage in the world.

FINANCIAL REVIEW OVERVIEW
RISK MANAGEMENT
Survivors Manchester has once again experienced financial growth year on year. Our income has increased again in 2019/20 to £641k, and income from unrestricted activity has increased from £75k to £96k in the year. We are also pleased to report a surplus on unrestricted funds in the year of £23k, bringing our total unrestricted reserves to £209k at the end of the year.
Risk is managed throughout the organisation using an Organisational Risk Register. A named Trustee is assigned with the task of organisational Risk Governance and meets with the Senior Management Team every 8 weeks for a Risk Management sub-committee. The Risk Governance Trustee then reports back to Board as a standing agenda item.
Our cost base continues to grow as the organisation expands, and our move to new premises in the previous year is reflected in our growth in overheads this year and going forwards. This, together with an increase in salary costs (with a growth in average FTEs from 14 to 17), is a necessary reflection of the increased demand for our services.
In addition to this, a full annual review of risk is carried out by officers of the Board.
This year we have also invested in assets, purchasing new IT equipment, and this investment will continue into the coming year. Delivery of our services is heavily dependent on us securing restricted funds each year, as we have successful done for a number of years now, but we also leave the year with unrestricted reserves of £209k. This is a strong and stable financial position to meet our growing cost commitments, and to support our increasing workload as we go into 2020 and beyond
INVESTMENT POLICY AND REVIEW The cash flow of the organisation requires that all cash is held in a current account (short term deposits).
RESERVES The amount held in unrestricted reserves at the end of the year was £209k, of which £182k is free reserves (after allowing for funds tied up in fixed assets). The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves at a level which equates to 6 months of unrestricted expenditure. The Trustees consider that this level will ensure that in the event of us being unable to secure future funding, we would be able to offer continuity of service to existing clients and meet our statutory obligations. Our reserves at the date of these accounts meet this policy.
PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES In 2019-20, Survivors Manchester is grateful to receive generous financial support from the following Arm Trust, Diocese of Salford, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust, the Home Office, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Manchester CCG/ Manchester Health Social Care Partnership, the Ministry of Justice, NHS England, and Zurich Community Trust. All of these funders enable Survivors Manchester to provide the vital and necessary services it does, whilst both Arm Trust and Lloyds Bank Foundation provide the organisation with investment in non-service delivery roles within the Senior Management Team. We are grateful to NHS England for committing to beginning a journey with us to embed our OUT Spoken Talking Therapy Service in a number of other establishments across the NW Prison estate. We also would like to thank Bishop John and the Trustees of the Diocese of Salford who have once again invested in our partnership project with Greater Manchester Rape Crisis, Healing Through Community, which continues to meet the needs of those survivors where faith has been a factor in pain and/or healing.
GOING CONCERN The charity’s main source of income is grants and fees. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.

FUTURE PLANS As we ended 2019/20, it is became increasingly apparent that the UK was about to have to make changes in response to the Coronavirus growing pandemic. Having spent time in 2019/20 reviewing our Business Plan and the accompanying Operations Plan, we recognise that we need clearer 2020 vision and so during 2020/21 we will undertake a whole scale review of our future over the next three years. The review will ensure that we have the following key priorities at the forefront of our minds, planning and development: 1. Design, develop and implement a ‘Plan for Our People’, giving the whole workforce (both employees and volunteers) anunderstanding of how the organisation invests in its people; how we support growth movement through the organisation; and how we engage with and nurture new talent. 2. Continue in the development of the Board of Trustees, with new membership that will reflect new skills and experiences;help plan and navigate our journey to greatness; and steer a new roadmap following our COVID19 course correction toevolve and ‘Build Back Better’. This will inevitably involve a strong emphasis on organisation, people and relationshipdevelopment, building on our solid foundations but also creating the conditions to form new connections with our staff andsurvivors.
3. Develop and implement an operational plan that maintains our high level of quality assurance, information managementand clinical governance, alongside continual service improvement. 4. Further develop the strategic and operational plan to provide our current services across GM in localities where appropriateas our ‘hub and spoke’ model; alongside a similar model across the prison and secure estate. We are yet to understand how Coronavirus pandemic will impact our organisation and whilst our key priority plans are small in quantity, they are big in ambition and have to be set in context to the possible changing landscape of a global pandemic. But as a charitable leader in the field, we aim to evolve and be building back better together with our commissioners, communities, partners and all survivors to ensure we have a resilient set of services to weather and further COVID19 storms. We will support any evolution programme, despite challenges whether financially or from lack of workforce and we will reform services on our journey allowing transformation to emerge and innovation to flourish. We promise that we will work hard on our evolution for the future to continue to be the best we can be.

CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS/CHARITIES Survivors Manchester has a long history of co-production, collaboration, co-operation and partnerships, a history we’re really proud of. As an organisation, some of our key personnel occupy seats in various forums, boards and panels with Government Departments (Home Office, Ministry of Justice; Local Authority (Health & Justice Exec Board, RASSO Partnership Board, CPS Scrutiny Panel) and with the key CVS across GM.
This year, we have also worked with Young Person’s Mental Health charity, 42nd Street, to support a project engaging with young black men and addressing health engagement inequalities. Our biggest and most far reaching co-operation though continues to be with the Male Survivors Partnership, which we co-founded, and has resulted in working with over 40 organisations across the UK, all collectively wanting to make services better for male survivors.
We also work in partnership with Greater Manchester Rape Crisis in co-delivery of both the Diocese of Manchester project and our co-designed Healing Through Community which is in association with Diocese of Salford.
