Chairnian's Report
The Caxton Trust operates under the nawE of Catch Up. Our overall aim is to Ir£￿aSe both the
take-up of Catch Up training by schods and their Img-temi engagement wth Catch Up, so that many
more struggling leamers are supp¢Nled by Catch Up's wrylucts.
The edu&2ti)nal m￿ket has seen the grthth crf academy chawis and free sthoob. the decliie of
local education authorilies, and irtreasing public sector budgetary pressures. To address these
challenges, Catch Up seeks to offer cost-effective and readily a(xessible products. to allow the
maximum number of struggling leamers in schools to be reached. The one-off cosl of £450 for
person to be trained in one of wr intepientions means Ihat the average cost per pupil reduces
significantly as m(Ye beneficiaries receNe the interventDn, with the resutt thal the Catch Up
inte￿enlI0nS offer exceptionally gocrfj value money. As part of the Catth Up Training Support
Package, V￿ offer addrtional to￿$ to help sthool$ embed the interventions and fijrther resources
that support them.
The Caxton Trust has charitable status in Scotknd and Catth Up is an authorised supplierto several
Sc4)ttish local authorities. Furlher relationships in Scotland are being developed yi order to expand
the reach of Catth Up tPEre.

Our purpose and acllvfties

How our actlvltles dellver publlc benefft
A signifi￿t 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 le￿ing PrO￿S$. 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.
Our main a¢*iviiies and those ty to hdp ¥e described bek>w. All our thariiable activities
focus on the advancemwrt of the lite￿Y and numeracy skills of struggling leamers and are
undertaken to further our charitatle purposes for the publiG beneri.

Achievements and perfomance
OPERATIONAL
Catch Up continues to devebp rts Key Perf(rnn¢e Ind￿t￿S in ordw lo manage and
devel¢)p its work effectively. The nurnber of struggling leamers helped is the uttimate
measure of the work of the chty. As trailed supporting adulls ¢￿n ass￿1 many struggling
learners over time, the uttmate number of beneficiaries is diffi(xJlt to qU￿tIfy. We feel
accordwigly that the best measure of the activity of the tharity is the number of supporting
adults trained. In 2022, there were a total of 924 trainees. Lx)mpared to 1.286 in 2021.
2020 saw Ihe suspension ol Catch Up Regional Training Centres {RTCs) as a result of the
Covi¢*19 restrictions. up￿ resumption of training in September 2020 all training vrds
delivered online. The offer of fac￿t04ace training restarted in 2021 and 8 face-to-face
training courses were delivered to organisations at Covid-se￿rÈ venues during 2022.
The changing fnancial dimate *ithin the public sector. ch￿geS in bcal authority staffing in
England, and the devdopment of academies free schools combine to provide a
challenging environment for the delivery d Catth Up's OP￿ations.
The effeds cff the Covi&19 pandemic Me￿ there was ￿ even greater need for the Catth
Up inteNentions follthvwig the ￿ductIon of face-ttrface teaching and given that not all
members of the schcol ¢ommunty can access online leaming.

An agreemerrt was reathed with the National Lilerdcy Trust (NLT) to promcrte Catch Up as a
preferred ooion to with litera¢y for struggliNJ ￿￿ners. 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

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 all￿Ned our office resources to be deployed to faalrtate the growing number ol C￿r5e$

Using the kno￿edge. expertj'se. arid C(￿MItMent of Ihe Catch Up team has been beneficial
in devekjping and revieNMng operational issues resources. as well as in identifying

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, of￿￿1th 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 Setb￿kS 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 man￿ 2056 Trust provided a financial dc￿at1￿ of £30.000 which was used to support

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 opw*iig 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 V￿rk
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

£256,350 and restri¢Xed reserves of £61.417: Ihe reStr￿ted 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
Ict*ion 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 sUrr￿lent 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
unrestr￿ed reserves at the 2022 year end than the policy V￿uld suggest. Especially as there is no
immedhqte wospe(a of additi(￿al grarrt funding expected in the near future.
Golng con￿rn
A surplus was achieved in 2022. but the indicatKms are th* 2023 will be a challenging year. It is
expe¢ted Ihat a deT￿lt on unrestrided resefves in the reg￿n 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.
sh￿k1 the marketing campaigns not be successful. further cost reductions may be ne￿Sary to
enable a retum to a breakeven posi<ion. The cost of any reOrg￿lSatA￿ 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 V￿rkIng capital line of credit from
The Manor 2056 Trust, ￿)￿k1 it be requi￿. to support the organ*ation a 12-month period.
The levd of reserves coupled with our f(Yecasts of trading and ￿$hI￿￿5 for 2023 and 2024, based
on the expected d￿armI 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 InC￿enCe 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. Companrfs Years w)je(# and the wojed for IAthat
Works for Children's Social Care Sh￿ that these are areas vlhith Catth Up ¢3n have an impaci.
Once the propcts are complete. development work will take place to expkye these areas further.
The dedication, commitment and prcrfesslc￿alisrn ofthe Catth Up team, combined viiih an adaptable
strategy, a refined delivery model, excellent value f¢x money and proven effediveness, allow the
Trustees to be confident thai continued takethup of Catth Up inteNentions will be achieved, thus

b. Prnparallon of the accounts on a golng concern basls
The financial statements have been wepared on a going concem basis as the Trustees believe
that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held
the expected kvel of Tricorne and exp￿drtUre for 12 months from authorising these financial
statements. The demand training in 2023 is expeded to be lower than that experienced in
2022 v￿h the result that a def￿1t on unrestrided reserdes in Ihe region of £65,000 is expecled for
the year. Cost reduclions have taken place in the first hair of 2023 and a marketing campaign
has been embarked UPK)n *ith the aim of moving to a Ixeak even posbtion for 2024. SIK)uld the
marketvig campaigns not be successful. further cost redudK)ns may be necessary to enab
retum to a breakeven posrtion. The cost of any recyganisalion is expected to be met from
unrestricted reserves. The chwty has sufficient brought forw*d reserves to absorb the def￿rt
expected for 2023 and any reorganizationa cosl to still have suffKient ￿￿King caprtal available
to continue trading throughout 2024.
