Trustees. Report
for the year ended
31" March 2025
During the 2024/25 period, our activities have evolved in response to ongoing economic pressures and
the increasing complexity of supporting children, young people. and families within the community. This
yea r also ma rked a significant transition in our leadership, as we welcomed a new Chief Executive Off icer.
Under this renewed le3der5hip, our organisation has reinforced its comm itment to adapting our services
and strategy to meet the changing needs of the individuals and families we serve, ensuring that our
support remains relevant, responsive, and impactful in Croydon and its surrounding areas.
The Trustees extend thei r si ncere appreciation for the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by
all staff members and volunteers.
Prlnciples GuidlnE Our Work
CDI maintains a commitment to a compassionate, innovative, and person-centred approach, placing the
establishment of authentic supportive relationships at the core of successful outcomes. Our focus is
holistic, considering broader context5 rather than 501ely relying on single diagnoses or JudgmÈnts about
presenting issues. We are dedicated to responding comprehensively to our beneficiaries, taking into
account socioeconomic factors, pol itical influences, systemic inequalities, and historical discrimination.
Our approach is collaborative 'doing with, rather than 'doing to'_and we encourage both paid and
volunteer colleagues to provide consistent, honest support in response to the dynamic needs of the
community.
Vision Statement
Our ospirotion is thot one day, there will be no nece5Sltyfor our services.. adverse childhood experiences
will be eliminated, climate change neutralised, and all community members will have acce55 to basic
necesslties-shelter, food, education, employment as well os healthy relationships.

investment in chi Idren'5 mental health. Individuals approach us to explore their situations, thoughts, and

Advice, Rights & Advocacy
Jacqui Henry, our Advice, Rights & Advocacy IAR&AI Manager, continues to provide vital support to
children, young people, and families facing challenges such as disability, learning difficulties, insecure
housing, school exclusions, domestic abuse, and welfare needs.
From April 2024 to March 2025, the Service provided 521 consultations. Referrals came from self, social
care, schools, GPS, onl ine sources, and other CDI projects. The caseload remained strongly representative
of BME communities188%1 and young women192%1.
The AR&A Service remains a trusted support for vulnerable families, adapting to community needs and
delivering person-centred assista nce.
Counselling in the Community for 10-25 year olds
In 2024/25, the seNice received 491 referra15, reflecting a sustained high demand for communitv
counselling support. Waiting times for young people to begin counselling after assessment now average
around six months. This is due to rising demand in the system for support and we remain committed to
working with our partners in the VCSE Ivoluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) and Statutory sectors
to address the needs of young people, ensuring they receive help at the ea rliest opportunity.
Our team provided a total of 2,970 se55ions, with 84Yo of those in counselling under the age of 18. Of
these, 72Yo identified as female, 230A as male, and 4Yo as non-binary and/or transgender, while more than
half came from BAME backgrounds. Community counselling continued to be delivered through a
dedicated mix of volunteer counsellors, paid staff, and clinica5 supervisors.
The Community Counselling Service is exporiencing 2 marked rise in the complexity and risk profile of
young people accessing support. Presenting issues have shifted significantly, with anxiety now the most
common concern, overtaking previously dominant sleep-related difficulties. There is a growing cohort of
neurodiverse clients now nearly half of all asse55ments-and a notable increase in young people
choosing not to disc105e their sexuality, reflecting deeper issues of identity a nd safety. The service is a150
seeing older youth lup to age 231 accessing support at rates equal to younger cohorts, suggesting
extended vulnerability into early adulthood. These trends are compounded by external pressures such as
risi ng hate crime, social media-driven bullying, and serious youth violence, all of which contri bute to a
heightened sense of insecurity and emotional distress among service users.

students, wellbeing and continued their counselli ng services at Elmwood Junior School, Ha rris Croydon
Primary, Harris Academy South Norwood, Harris Academy Beulah Hill, St Nicolas School, Oasis Academv
Shirley Park and Forest Academy.
In our schools, services we counselled 210 children and young people in Primary, Secondary and Special
Schools with 65% from a 8AME heritage, offering a total of 1,517 sessions. The feedback we receive from
young people indicates they continue to appreciate being able to access an independent, therapeutic
service that is on-site. The main presenting concerns for these children were anxietyi family and peer
relationships, bereavement &10sS, self-harm, low mood, anger and school-related issues.
The Mental Health Support Team
Our Mental Health Support Team IMHSTI provides early Inte￿entiOn for children and young people
experiencing mild-to-moderate mental health challenges. We deliver evidence-based support through
our Education Wellbeing Practitioners IEWPSI, Children's Wellbeing Practitioners ICWPS) and Counsellors
working in schools to address anxiety. low mood, and behavioural concerns. Our team supports whole-
school appr03ches to mental health, offers strategic input to senior leads, and liaises with external
services to ensure timely, appropriate care. This year, Wave 6 continued to strengthen its presence across
multiple educational sites, including prlmary and secondary schools a nd academies.
In January, we launched Wave 12 in partnership with Off the Record and expanded our team by four
additional practitioners, taking our total MHST to 8 staff. Through our ongoing partnership with Off the
Record, we engaged with 45 schools in Croydon, reaching a potential school population of 24,000 children
and young people.
Outreach & Talkbus
In 2024125, the Outreach Team made a significant impact across Croydon, engaging 3,715 young people
through 419 session5 delivered in over 60 locations from our Ta IkBus. Our work spanned schools, colleges,
and over 60 community venues, offering inform31 education and support on topics such as gender
identity, hea Ithy relationships, personal safety, and substance misuse.
We delivered targeted projects including Safe Space and a Custody Suite Scheme and launched a Pre and
Post Autism Diagnosis Service.
The Safe Space delivered last year has left a legacy with young people conti nuing to seek early intervention
support for suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviours and the type of support offered has now become
a business 3s usual activity for the Outreach Team. It offers a conf idential and compassionate environment
where young people can talk openly, access guidance, and be signposted to further help. By addressing
emotional distress early, Safe Space helps reduce risk, build resilience, and connect individuals with
trusted adults and appropriate services at a critical time in their lives.
The Custody Suite Project supports young people aged 10 and over following their release from police
custody. The project provides timely, non-judgemental support to help individuals reflect on their
experiences a nd reduce the risk of reoffending. Through tailored guidance and signposting to relevant
services, the project aims to re-engage young people with education, community, and positive pathways,
offering a crucial intervention point during a vulnerable transition.

Flnancial Revlew
The financial management of our charity is very important to us all and we have great transparency in
how and where ourfunds are directed.
At the end of this year. our reserves totalled £1,199,168, of which £71,393 were restricted in use. The
reserves comprise £815,157 held in our bank account5, £ 121,097 invested i n f ixed asset5 and a surplus of
debtors over creditors of £262,914. Our income for the year was £1,847,340, a slight reduction on last
year and our expenditure wa5 £1,772,191, 12°A more than last year. However we still made a surplus for
the year of £75,149. Part of this surplus arose in March 2025. when we were allocated additional funding
of £30,000, for the Talkbus project, by SWL NH5. This funding was a variation clause to our 2024125
contract. Our budget for 2025/26 predicts that we will incur a deficit for the year a nd, if necessary, our
reserves will be used to fund this deficit.
As a charity we continue to be very efficient in the use of our fLsnds. This is due in part to the time and
commitment of our Treasurer, Jill, who assisted and supported the CEO and senior management team,
during a period of change.
We record thanks to everyone involved with the management of CDI'S finances for the efficient manner
in which our records are maintained.
Reserves Pollcy
The management committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not invested in
tangible fixed assets Ithe 'free reserves'l held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the
resources expended, which equates to between £443,023 and £886,046. As at 31st March 2025 the
accounts show general unrestricted reserves of £493,518, 1£1,006,678 when designated funds are
included). The figure of £493,5 18 represents 3,5 months of last yearfs expenditure. The directors have
decided to allocate Some of the unrestricted funds to designated projects to ensure the continued
existence & expansion of the charity.
It has been recommended that if the charity's unrestricted reserves fall below £IOO,000 then an
emergency meeting of the trustees should take place to discuss immediate action.
Our reserves are reviewed regularly, so that the trustees can decide on the appropriate use of them. The
trustees and CEO examine ways of ensuring that there is appropriate 'contingency' funding to support
time-bound projects.

Addressing financial risk is an ongoing priorityi Wlth regular reviews of avai lable funds, bank balances, and
active management of debtor and creditor accounts to ensure sufficient working capital is maintained.

Responsibilities of trustees (continued)
and for such internal control as the trustees determ ine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable com pany's
ability to continue as o going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable
compa ny or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so,
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed auditor under the section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance
with that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable 3ssurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent
Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is 3 high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. M isstatements ca n arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individ ually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the basis of these f ina ncial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedu res in line with our responsibilities, outli ned above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, includi ng fraud is detailed below..
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud,. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence
regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing
appropriate responses,. and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected f raud identified du ri ng the
audit. However, the prim3 ry responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those
charged with governance of the entity and its management.
Our approach was as follows:
We obtained an understandi ng of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable
company and the sector in which it operates, through discussions with management and those
charged with governance, and also from our detailed understanding of the sector. We identified
the financial reporting framework including but not limited to (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice, The Charitie5 Act 2011 and the Companies Act 20061, Data

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements (continued)
Protection Act 2018, Bribery Act 2010 as being of significance in the context of Croydon Youth
Information & Counselli ng Service Limited and its ongoing activities.
We made enquiries with management and those charged with governance and also reviewed
board meeting minutes to confirm our understanding that the charitable company continued to
comply with the applicable legal and regulatory frameworks, and also to confirm our
understanding of the specific policies and procedures enlisted by the charitable company to
ensure ongoing compliance.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material
misstatement, including how fraud may occur, and gained an understanding of the charitable
company's policies and procedures on fraud risks through discussion with the charitable
company's management.
We considered the risk of material misstatement due to f raud as z result of possible management
override of controls, and improper revenue recognition. To address these risks we tested the
appropriateness of journal entries posted, reviewed those judgements made in making
accounting estimate5, and tested the application of revenue recognition and the cut-off of
revenue.
We communicated those laws and regulations considered relevant to the charitable company,
and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and consider that the engagement
team had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance
with laws and regulations, and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.
Dueto the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk thatwe will not detect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material mi55tatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a 13w or regulation is removed from the
evonts and transactions reflected in the f inancial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of
instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather
than error, as f raud involves intentional conce31ment, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further descri ption of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at..
