Overview

Founded by young people in north London in 1996, Exposure is a multi-award-winning grassroots youth-led communications charity giving young people a platform to amplify their voices. Exposure empowers 14 to 25-year-olds from diverse and challenging backgrounds to take part in impactful co-production activities and enjoy the benefits of volunteering. They strive for positive change on contemporary issues vital to their wellbeing. Long-established partnerships in education and the charity sector ensure Exposure is able to reach those most marginalised.

During the year Exposure engaged with 130 young people, delivering youth communications workshops in community settings, through other charitable partners and via additional blended one-to-one support using email, phone and videoconferencing. Young people were nurtured to harness digital technology meaningfully, intelligently and positively, gaining skills and confidence through applying their knowledge, experiences, vitality and idealism in the service of others. They were guided and trained to produce and share a wide range of compelling creative content, including articles, poetry, fiction, graphics, podcasts and short films for the charity’s youth communications website exposure.org.uk and associated social media. Young people’s work was also showcased in local newspapers and other publications, as well as on North Central London Waiting Room, a new NHS virtual hub providing information and resources to young people, parents, carers and professionals seeking wellbeing support and personalised care.

Specific campaigns included expressing gratitude to improve wellbeing, highlighting issues faced by young females, and giving LGBTQ+ young people and their allies a voice.

Exposure Organisation Limited

Structure, governance and management

Governance

Exposure is the marketing name of the registered charity Exposure Organisation Limited, which is governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 25 January 1999, as amended on 17 October 2001 to allow for current governance arrangements. The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10.

Membership of the charity is open to any individual aged 18 or over who has contributed to Exposure’s work and who supports its objectives. In the case of volunteers, eligibility is established by active involvement over a six-month period. There are currently 20 members of Exposure. Beneficiary involvement in Exposure’s commissioned creative production activities obviates the need for the charity to have a trading subsidiary.

Recruitment, appointment and retirement of trustees

The charity’s articles of association require the appointment of not less than three trustees. New trustees are appointed for a term of three years by invitation of existing trustees. This is subject to election by existing trustees at a board meeting and approval by charity members at the subsequent annual general meeting.

Appointed a trustee of the charity on 19 April 2000, Iacovos Koumi is the brother of Andreas Koumi. Andreas Koumi gained his position as Manager & Secretary by virtue of his former employment at Haringey Council’s Youth Service, which was instrumental in supporting the establishment of the charity as a company limited by guarantee on 27 October 1997 and as a registered charity on 11 February 1999. Iacovos Koumi was not involved in Andreas Koumi’s appointment, nor is he involved in any decisions concerning Andreas Koumi’s remuneration. The board has established appropriate arrangements for dealing with situations where conflicts of interest may arise. The Charity Commission approved these arrangements on 21 February 2003.

On 6 November 2024, David Hill retired as chair and Jonathan Bloch put himself forward as replacement. This was met with unanimous approval by the members who duly appointed Jonathan Bloch as the new chair. Iacovos Koumi and David Hill retired as trustees, stood for re-election and were duly re-appointed by the members. None of the trustees had any beneficial interests in the charity or were paid for their duties during the year.

Induction and training of new trustees

Prior to appointment, new trustees are required to demonstrate a sound knowledge of the charity’s purpose and activities, to study its annual report and accounts, and to read and adhere to all its policies and procedures. New trustees are also required to provide two professional references to vouch for their suitability and also to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

New trustees are required to understand that they have overall responsibility for overseeing the charity’s management and administration, for making decisions on its behalf in conjunction with their fellow trustees, and for advising on fundraising and other income generation activities, ensuring that monies are properly spent and accounted for.

New trustees are made aware that they must always act in the best interests of the charity and are not able to benefit directly or indirectly from its activities. If employed, they are required to clear their involvement in Exposure with their employer to ensure there is no conflict of interest.

Structure

Material matters of policy and strategy are decided at regular meetings of Exposure’s board of trustees. Day to day management of the charity is delegated to the Manager & Secretary who is responsible for operational matters including finance, appointing freelance contractors and adult volunteers, development of young people and all youth communications related activities. The Manager & Secretary reports to the board on Exposure’s activities, achievements, financial position and plans at regular board meetings. All expenditure over £1,500 must be approved by the Chairman or, in his absence, another trustee.

The following staff and freelance contractors are involved in Exposure’s work:

Exposure places young people at the top of its organisational structure, reflecting the charity’s approach of undertaking activities initiated or inspired by young people, with support and guidance from experienced adults.

Volunteers

All Exposure’s direct beneficiaries are also young volunteers, contributing to creative campaign work which they inspire and initiate. Exposure is open to all young people and many are from diverse and challenging backgrounds. On joining, they sign up to Exposure’s charter, a document detailing young people’s rights and responsibilities, and highlighting the charity’s mission, values and complaints procedure. Adult volunteers, like Exposure’s trustees, staff and freelance contractors, are required to adhere to all Exposure’s policies and procedures, in particular its volunteering, equality and diversity, and safeguarding policies, and to undertake a DBS check. During the year, adult volunteers were involved in supporting young people to express themselves through Exposure’s campaign work.

Main sources of funding

Exposure’s main source of funding during the year was from John Lyon’s Charity, which provided a grant worth £40,000. Exposure also received smaller amounts from a range of charitable trusts, foundations and local organisations, as well as local government.

As Exposure’s income is generated primarily through grant applications to institutional funding bodies and commissions by other organisations seeking to engage and benefit young people the charity is not a member of the Fundraising Standards Board.

Risk management

Major risks identified by the trustees are:

These risks are mitigated by maintaining adequate insurance cover, financial reserves and cash resources, and by having appropriate policies, procedures and guidance, reviewed regularly and available to all staff and freelance contractors via the Exposure internet file hosting service, for:

New grant applications are submitted regularly to progress operations in accordance with the evolving needs and demands of young people. Plans for progressing operations are detailed in the section on ‘Future developments’ on page 10.

Exposure Organisation Limited

Exposure empowers 15 to 25-year-olds from diverse and challenging backgrounds to enjoy the benefits of volunteering. Young people strive for positive change on contemporary issues vital to their wellbeing, through exposure.org.uk, associated social media and partner organisations. Beneficiaries are guided and trained to produce a wide range of compelling creative content, including articles, poetry, fiction, graphics, podcasts and short films.

While developing critical thinking, life-changing work-based skills, opportunities and contacts, and a personal portfolio of their creative work hosted on an independent online platform, young people also experience narrative therapy. They help themselves through helping others, raising consciousness, tackling stigma, breaking taboos and hence improving their confidence, mental health, resilience and relationships.

Theory of Change

The Theory of Change schematic below illustrates how Exposure’s interventions support young people to thrive creatively, for the good of others as well as themselves.

Activities

Having regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, Exposure’s significant activities during the year were:

Achievements and performance

Achievements

Young people were empowered to address a range of contemporary issues, populating the charity’s website within the following broad themes:

Specific campaigns included expressing gratitude to improve wellbeing, highlighting issues faced by young females and giving LGBTQ+ young people and their allies a voice.

Exposure was able to secure additional funding from M&G Community Fund, Forrester Family Trust, Marsh Charitable Trust, Young Barnet Foundation, The Progress Foundation, Philip Gibson, Tesco Stronger Starts, The Innholders Charitable Foundation and Barnet Council to support its work. Some of Exposure’s young contributors secured an Exposure Achievement Award for their outstanding contributions. Many had work published in local newspapers and other publications, and on North Central London Waiting Room, a new NHS virtual hub providing information and resources to young people, parents, carers and professionals seeking wellbeing support and personalised care. Some were supported into higher education and work.

Performance

General activities

Exposure worked in community settings, face-to-face with students recruited through local schools, colleges and other venues, as well as remotely with young people, directly and through the charity’s partnership work. Young people were provided with a range of tailored questionnaires to prompt responses within the broad themes detailed above, as well as production tips and comprehensive guidelines to develop their testimonies into coherent digital outputs.

Young volunteers produced compelling content for Exposure’s website and social media – reports, features, articles, reviews, interviews, poetry, fiction, graphics, photographs, podcasts and short films – to inform, inspire and reassure their peers, families and wider community. Young people produced over 100 posts for the Exposure website and social media during the year.

Grateful Project

Work continued on the Grateful Project, designed to build young people’s resilience during difficult times through reminding themselves, and by extension their friends, families and community, what they have to be grateful for. Young people shared positive and valued aspects of their lives, including maintaining health and wellbeing, relationships, hobbies, identity, culture and overcoming difficulties.

LGBTQ+ friends

Work continued on the new LGBTQ+ friends campaign, designed to raise awareness of and address issues faced by LGBTQ+ young people, including coming to terms with and celebrating who they are, the challenges of ‘coming out’ and how to be a good ally to LGBTQ+ young people.

#HerTake

Work continued on the #HerTake campaign, enabling young women and their male allies to voice concerns, share experiences and campaign for positive change around safety, inequality, misogyny and toxic masculinity, as well as broader issues around young women’s relationships, identity, culture, mental health and wellbeing.

Partnership work

Exposure maintained effective partnerships with a range of organisations, to ensure Exposure reached especially marginalised young people, offering them a voice and creative outlet to campaign for positive change. Partners included:

Selected outputs were reproduced in Barnet Post community newspaper, 15,000 copies of which are distributed monthly throughout the borough, giving adult readers a young person's perspective on issues important to everyone while improving understanding across the generations. Selected outputs were also reproduced on North Central London Waiting Room, a new NHS virtual hub providing information and resources to young people, parents, carers and professionals seeking wellbeing support and personalised care, and reaching 10,000 service users.

Measuring impact

Exposure has developed the Exposure Star outcomes chart, a guided self-assessment tool, to track impact, measure progress and identify future goals of young people. Young people report on the impact Exposure has on their health, resilience, confidence, relationships, ability to express themselves, skills, attitudes to work and future aspirations.

Financial review

Financial performance

Total income for the year was £90,841, up from £82,553 last year. Total expenditure was £83,565, down from £90,008, last year. The net surplus for the year was £7,276 compared with a net deficit of £7,455 last year. Net assets Increased from £83,123 to £90,399. The cash balance at year-end was £99,707 compared with £98,908 last year.

Reserves and investment policy

The trustees review Exposure’s reserves and investment policy annually with a view to enabling the charity to meet its plans and obligations to address the needs and safeguard the wellbeing of its beneficiaries should core funding be reduced substantially or any other exceptional event occur.

Reserves have enabled Exposure to remain resilient through the pandemic, austerity, the cost-of-living crisis and the increasingly uncertain funding environment. Reserves may be drawn upon for exceptional payments, for example to cover sickness or redundancy, to repair or replace broken or obsolete computer hardware and software, or to provide working capital to cover delayed grants and creative service fees. Reserves also allow the charity to continue serving its young beneficiaries during periods when available funding does not fully cover operating costs.

For the forthcoming year, the trustees have designated funds totalling £50,000 towards realising the plans outlined in this report. The remaining reserves ensure that, for at least six months, the charity can continue to:

A winding down procedure has been drawn up to be triggered in the hopefully unlikely event that unrestricted reserves fall to £15,000, so as to leave enough funds for orderly winding down and dissolution, including redundancy payments. Cash resources are deposited in separate banks to ensure protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Future developments

Meet the needs and demands of young people

Exposure’s first priority for the coming year will be to meet its charitable objectives through delivering youth-led communications activities in response to the evolving needs and demands of its young people. In particular, Exposure will empower young people to strive for positive change by populating the charity’s website within the following broad themes, important to young people:

Applications for core funding

With core funding support from John Lyon’s Charity coming to an end, Exposure will apply for core funding to support a fouryear initiative that builds on strong foundations in youth engagement and communications training to nurture leadership, creativity and social responsibility among young people, particularly those facing disadvantaged, poverty and discrimination, and the intersection of these challenges.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Exposure Organisation Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the report of the trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Accounting policies

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

Going concern

The trustees have assessed Exposure’s financial position and future funding prospects. As at the date of approval of these financial statements, the charity has not yet secured core funding beyond the current financial year, ending 31 March 2026. The continuation of the charity’s activities is therefore dependent on securing significant funding. Whilst the trustees are actively exploring all funding avenues and are committed to Exposure’s long-term sustainability, this situation indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern beyond the current financial year. Nevertheless, the trustees believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. If the charity is unsuccessful in securing further funding, it may be necessary to wind down operations in a controlled manner.

Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether capital grants or revenue grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Donations of gifts, services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. Volunteer time is not recognised and references is made to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution (page 4).

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each fixed asset over its estimated useful life:

Equipment – 25% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities as all its income is charitable and is applied for charitable purposes.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity has implemented a scheme through NEST, the workplace pension set up by the government.

There were no trustees’ remuneration, expenses paid or other benefits for the years ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024.
