Review and summary of the year
The results for the year and slate of the charitvs affairs al 31 March 2025 are sel out iii the finanGial
slalemenls on pages 11 10 21 showing income of £717,204 {2024 £523,561) and expenditurè of £594,246
{2024 £521,031). In addition, significant building works were completed during the year and of that cost
The charity recorded a SLtrplLSS of £122,958 (2024.. £122,958) for Ihe year bringing the lolal funds lo £605,086
(2024.. £482,128).
The Charity continues lo occupy 3 buildings over two siles and has maintained reserves lo specifically support
their maintenance. The chariltys cash rese￿eS are invesled in bank deposit accounts. The Iruslees regularly
review the investment options.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources of the charity continues to be public sector commissions from Sefton MBC,
supplemented by a number of smaller grant funds and from room hire arKI some privale therapy seNi¢es.
Reserves policy
The Iruslees have reviewed the Reserves Policy of the charity and have recognised the need lo establish
appropriate level of working capilal lo sustain the future operalions and obligalions in the event of unforéseen
reductions in ils income Streams to be designated to cover 6 months mnning costs in line with Charily
Commisslon Guidelines.
As al 31 March 2025, 6 months rtjnning costs would be equal to about £297,000. General unreslrlcled funds
stood al £237,628 plus a designated contingency reserve of £184,922. The trustees feel that this is sufficienl to
maintain the services currently being rLJn.
RELATED PARTIES AND CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS
None of our Iruslces receive remuneralion or other benefit from their work wlh the charity. Any connection
between a trustee or senior manager of Ihe ¢harily and any dienl or supplier is disclosed to the full board of
Iruslees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related pariy. In the current year no such
related party transactions were reported.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
We recognise Ihal it is nO￿SSary lo create a more diversified income base for the sustainability of Ihe charity
and as such established a Mental Health and Wellbeing Irading arm, Mindful Futures CIC, for the expansion of
our commissioned therapy and ancillary well-being aclivilies. This year we received some funds from the UK
Prospect Fund lo help us developlrefine our therapy dala base and invoicing systems to become more
efficient. We will continue to maximise and idenlily income generating opportunities Ihal are aligned lo our
charitable mission
We are delighted lo share that the future of our youth centre is secure. After the landlords of the Soulhport
Alchemy Hall building announced their intention to sell the premises on Ihe open rnaykel, our Iruslees identified
a crucial opportunity We successfully purchased the properly, induding Ihe half_acre play area, on September
30, 2025.Purchasing Ihe building and its asscjciated land presented a unique and limely opportunity lo secure
the charity's fulure and cease paying renl. This acquisilion eliminates Ihe uncerlainly of leasing and potential
displacement, allowing us lo invest funds currenlly used for rent payments directly into our prograrns and the
long-lerm maintenance of the facility. Owning the properly is a sound financial decision that protects our vital
Gommunily resource and provides a permanent, stable home for generations of young people lo come.
