Chair's Introduction to the annual report 2024
Welcome to our annual report in what has been another milestone year, both strntegically and operationally. We have
seen the formal change of our title to become The Centre for Emotional Health. This has heralded a step change in how
we are influencing policy and practice locally, regionally and nationally. It has been a year of challenges and opportunities
with continued economi¢ constraints for commissioners of craining and a new government that is being more consulratiye
and listening in its approach. Our new name and brand have established u5 a5 an authoritative Yoice in the field of
emotional health. The board at its annual development day reiterated our commitment to emotional health setting out
that..

Our strategic plan implementation has continued to focus on relationships with customers and commissioners, building
our evidence base and demonstrating the difference we make. We are revitalising our Learning Partnerships with local
authorities, placing a greater emphasis on collaboration and impact evaluation. In 202412025 we will be increasing the
number of local authoritie5 nationally who use The Nurturing Progrnmme and using our Learning Partnership offer as a
key aspect of that growth.
To deliver our increased emphasis on impact and research we have restructured our Impart and Research team to

We were excited to co112borate with Demos to produce our report 'Strong Foundations - why everyone needs good
emotional health and how to achieve it,, which we launched in January. The report has been 2 powerful driver in getting
the government and policy makers to acknowledge the foundational nature and importance of emotional health.
We completed our funded Oxfordshire schools work and are building on the findings to create a new education offer
to schools and academy trusts. focusing on parents and carers and the other adults who 5UPPOrt every child. We are
developing partnerships with other organisations working dlrectly in schools. to offer a holistlc. whole child, nurturing
approach.

Flnoncial Position
At the end of the financial year we incurred an overall deficit of £165k (2023., a deficit of £35k)- However, this deficit
was the result of a £49k restricted and £115k unrestricted loss (2023: £62k increase in unrestricted reserves). Our
reserves are stlll healthy which puts us in a good position to continue to expand our reach, ensuring core costs are
covered in spite of rising expenditure levels.

Responsibilities of trustees
A5 explained more fvlly in the tTU5tee5' responsibilities statsment Set out on page 8, the trustee5 (who are also the direccors of the

that they gfve a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee5 determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from matrrlal rnls5tatemeni whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the finan¢lal statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as appllcable, matters related to going con¢em and using the going concern basls of accounting unless the trustees
either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operadons, or have no realistic altsrnative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities fi>r the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 201 l and report in accordance with regulations made under
section 154 of that ACL
Our oble¢tlves are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial Statements a5 a whole are free from materlil m1s5tatemen(
whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our oplnlon. Reasonable as5urnnce is a high lèvel of assurance,
but is not a guardntee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA5 (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
M155tatements can arise fram fraud or error and ire considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
experted to Influence the economic decislons of users taken on the basis of these financlal statements.

Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our

Because of the Inherent limlfations of an audlL there Is a risk that we wlll not detect all irregularities, including tFiose leadlng to a materlal
