## **Achievements and performance**
This year we have continued to provide work placements and have had considerable success in finding paid employment opportunities for many of our clients.
We have seen great support from our cohort of employers and have widened this base significantly. Our long term partnership with Sheffield City Council continued, although we continue to see financial pressure to deliver more, whilst our core costs continue to rise.
Our team has again responded magnificently to these challenges. We have seen continued long term support and commitment, and our low turn over allows us to consolidate and provide meaningful support and valued contribution to all our clients.
Overall demand for our services remains high and providing pastoral support is a key pillar of our services and remains a key differentiator in our contract bids and wider activity. Put simply it is who we are, and we know the wider societal impact is both positive and appreciated.

## **Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 31 July 2024**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust"), set out on pages 2 to 4, for the year ended 31 July 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
