How our actlvltles dellver publlc benefft A signifit prowtion of wimwy and se(dary sch(x)I children in the UK have diffKxlttes in attaining the levels of literacy and numeracy expecled ofthem. iothilst these diffi¢)Jfties e often nol severe enough to entrtle those struggling kamers to statutory additional leaming support, they may still be sufficient to restrict the access to the cufficulum. Vlrthout addttional support. these children may fall further behirKI their peers. The adverse consequences are wide-ranging and well- documented.. long-tem poor academic achievement. low self-esteem, lrywer motivation to read, disengagement with the leing PrOS$. behavioural woblems, reduced employment prospe(Xs and the possibility of social exdusion. It was wilh this li mind. that the Catth Up interventions were developed. By helping individuals experienang leaming drffioJKies to reach Iheir ftjll potential, rt is hoped that their Irves will be enriched and that they will be able to play a fuller part in society, so benefrting the ¢omnwnities li they Ve.

Further opwtunities to promote Catch up in conjunQion with NLT are being expl(Ked. Hodder Education now notes that its New Saiford senten Reading Test is recommended by Catch Up., this has helped to raise the profile of the organisation to members of tr education sector by being associated with thts wreSFecled tea(ing tool.

During the year links were made with Norfolk Wrtual School for Children in Care and Childre Previously in Ca. A besFKJke training pthge ft)cussing on the reading aspect of Iltera was delivered and further training is planned. It is envisaged that trayiing can be delivered to similar organisations across the UK. BUILDING CAPACITY The use of our bsite and database provmles an effKient booking and admnIStrat System, wth trainees made fulty aware of our oTrlne functionalty. The automation of database-driven tasks has alk)ed effiaent management of courses by our office team and the use of a third-party iyovpder to deliver online connectNity for courses has allNed our office resources to be deployed to faalrtate the growing number ol Cr5e$ delivered.

This was a necessty folkn9 the Co¥i(1-19 pandemic but also has advantages forthose geographully remote orthose wishwig to asS training atthe earliest possible time. RESEARCH AND GRANTS In March 2020, Catth Up was awarded a grant of £349.127 over a three-year period frorn the charity of Sir Richard Vlhrttington, of1th The Mercers, Company is a tr¢Jstee. The grant is for the undertaking of research to create e*ty years, lrteracy and numeracy Hiterventions for pupils. Foundation Stage and is schedukd for completion durwig 2023. The grant, payable in instalments indudes a ¢In"butIOn toward the assoaated overheads oflhe charity as well a5 income associated wryth training of participants. The profile of grant saw £80,427 re¢eived in 2020, £134,983 in 2021 and £111.183 in 2022. The remaining £22,534 is due lo be paid in 2023. The expendrture incurred n relation to this grant in the year was £77,652 with a transfer to unrestricted funds of £41.859. The prqe(I vras heavily affected by the Covid-19 Parmdemic vthich resulted in initial one to one sessions being deLqyed until Summer 2021. During the Fyoiect. it was evKlent Ihat an assumed ¢ontribulion from project schools bNK)uld not materialise, consequently the project expenditure was r&wofiled with Mercers agreement. As the project entered rts fnal yw it became apparent that despite trying io recruit project schools via a of methods, the expected number of schools participating %¥¢Id not materialise. This has resulted in a reduced amount of expenditure vthich has resulted in a greater amunt of w)jeci incm being transferred to unrestricted resetves. Desprte these SetbkS the devetopment of the Catch Up inteNentions for earty yews has been achieved and case studies will be provKJed to supp its use in the futu.
The Caxton Trust Report of the Trustees (includlng Dlrectors, report) for the year ended 31 Decernber 2022 In November 2021 Catth Up entered into an agreement lthat Works Children, s(la1 Care for a pilot projec to train up to 50 foster carers in Catch Up Lrteracy. The project had an expected grant value of £86.735 wrth mPlet11)n expeded by March 2023. £54.) was received in 2021 and £27.335 in 2022. with the remaining £4.5(Kl expectsd in 2023. The man 2056 Trust provided a financial dcat1 of £30.000 which was used to support core costs during the year. FUNt>FiAISING STANDARD INFORMATION Catth Up does not cary out fund raising ad1vit. It relies upon the sale of the Catch Up training and resow¢es fty its opwiig costs and up(m grants for its research projeds. Flnanclal revlthv 2020 was hugety impacted by Ihe Covid-19 pandem fiereas 2021 a e1 of adivty similar to thal experienced in 2019. the last full calendar year before the pandemic. The surge in demand experEnced in 2021 then tailed off in 2022. As a result of the steady demand for training. the continued support of The Manty 2056 Trust and the continuing Vrk in delivering The Mercers, Company's wojeci. a positive financial resu for the year was achieved. Catth Up had a financial surplus of £9,625 for the year on unrestricted funds at the year-end the balance on unrestricted reserves was £256,350. Total income fcrf 2022 was £559.299. fiich represented a 26% deuease from £754.488 in 2021. There was an 210A decrease v) grants and donattons in 2022 to £176,518 frLYn £222,883 in 2021. In¢ome fr(Mn the sale of Catth Up materAls training decreased lo £381.418 from £531,586. Tota5 expenditure in 2022 was £StK),823, dtr•m frc¥n £584.610, a 14% decrease. The total net surplus for 2022 was £58,476 (2021- surplus of £169.878). Tolal serveS at the end of 2022 tre £317.767, c(xnwsing unrestricted reseNes of £256,350 and restri¢Xed reserves of £61.417: Ihe reStrted reserves b%ere in pect of funding received. whrch will be spent during 2023. Pri¢ing policy Catch Up maintains a wicing WIKY that ref#s the rategy of enablng its inteNentions to be available lo as many beneficiwies as possible. Hen, the Trustees and management seek to offer price that provides a reasonably priced and cost-effeclive intervention that ver5 the Core Costs of the chwity. enabling the dlarity to be sustsinable. We gNe incentives for more trainees from the sane organisation to encourage hat Catth Up sees as the optimal number of trainees at each Iction to achieve the most successful ¢xrtc(rn f(* rtseW and for schools. Reserves policy The Trustees have established the level of unrestrthd (freety available) reserves that the charity should aim to have. These serveS are needed to t¥idge the funding gaps befvRen spending on Catch Up interventi(5 and receipt of ¥icome. The seasonal nature of the training also requires the level of cash reserves to be sUrrlent to cover c(e costs and working caprtal requirements during periods vknen reduced inc(Mne is expwienced, tyyc41ty during the first haff of the y.
The Caxton Trust Report of the Trustees (includln9 Dlrector5' report) for the year ended 31 December 2022 The aim of Trustees is to achieve a level of unrestricted reserves equivalent to belween three to six months of Core Costs, currentty estimated to be between £85,313 and £170,626. This t¥get level of reserves was achieved li 2022 arKI it is hoped this kvel will be maintaned during 2023. However, as a result of the uncertainty within the educatK)nal sector and the reduc£d level of bookings experienced in 2023. the Trustees feel that that is prudent to maintain an additional level of unrestred reserves at the 2022 year end than the policy Vuld suggest. Especially as there is no immedhqte wospe(a of additi(al grarrt funding expected in the near future. Golng conrn A surplus was achieved in 2022. but the indicatKms are th 2023 will be a challenging year. It is expe¢ted Ihat a deTlt on unrestrided resefves in the regn of £65,(K)O will be incurred in 2023 i withthe aim to a breakeven position in 2024 follob4ryng the marketng campaigns lo increase Ihe level of trainees and cost reductNJns implmnled in 2023. A Joint marteting campaign is being planned with the National Literacy Trust which will see Catch Up being promoted to their nelwork of contacts. shk1 the marketing campaigns not be successful. further cost reductions may be neSary to enable a retum to a breakeven posi<ion. The cost of any reOrglSatA is expecAed to be met from unrestricted SerVeS. The research grant from The Mercers. Company w) March 2020 has prowded fnancial stabilty for the beginning of 2023. In addition. the Trustees have negotiated a VrkIng capital line of credit from The Manor 2056 Trust, )k1 it be requi. to support the organation a 12-month period. The levd of reserves coupled with our f(Yecasts of trading and $hI5 for 2023 and 2024, based on the expected darmI for 2023, cause the Trustees to be of the view Ihat the ch*ity is a going concem. Plans for future perfots Catch Up began offering on-line traning courses during 2020. These have the advantage of reaching geographicalty remote groups or trainees that Wksh to access Catch Up training al the eadiest opportunity without the need to incAJr travel tine and costs. The InCenCe of Covid-19 in 2020 demonstrated how fiexible these on-lne courses we and how welksutted they we to remote delivery. The Pandem has made scKiety mre comlortable with r&iKrte leaming and online delrvery is now the prefefred delNery mthod fcy our witer4enticms. Fatsto fa Courses are offered to organisations that are looking to trail a mininum of 10 trainees. Early indications from both The Mercers.
