Over the last year, The Centre Place has continued to deliver services across Talkzone and LGBT+ Nottinghamshire and as our services continue to expand, we have had some success in recruiting new Trustee’s and look forward to welcoming them to join our ever-growing team at our upcoming AGM. As we move forward into another year of exciting opportunities for The Centre Place, the management committee would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff and volunteers for your continued hard work and support to the Centre Place. We appreciate all that you bring to your roles, to ensure that we continue to deliver good quality services to the children, young people and the communities we work with. We also wish to extend our thanks to our partners and the children and young people, who continue to support us. ## **Jodie Fowler Trustee** 3 ## **The Treasurers Report** I am pleased to report that once again the professional services delivered by The Centre Place has been recognised by local and national bodies who have supported the charity this year through a number of funding streams and grants. On behalf of the Management Committee, staff and young people and families accessing the service we would like to express our gratitude to the following awarding bodies for their on-going support and recognition in our services. - ➢ The National Lottery Community Fund - ➢ Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board - ➢ Bassetlaw Place Based Partnership - ➢ Nottinghamshire County Council Local Community Fund - ➢ Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Thematic Fund - ➢ Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service I would like to thank everyone within the team who has been involved in securing funding from the above organisations; the success in attracting funding to support and grow the services is a testament to the exemplary support being provided to the local community, by The Centre Place. I would like to extend a thank you to CA Plus for their financial services and examining the accounts. **Michelle Sayer Treasurer** 4 ## **Managers’ Report** It has been another fantastic year for the Centre Place, and we have had the opportunity to work on some brilliant projects of which we are extremely proud of. We are extremely proud to be part of the development of the Peace of Mind booklet – a mental health toolkit that has been created by children and young people. We facilitated coproduction and consultation groups here at es centre place for 9 months where we worked my with project developers to ensure children and young people’s voices were heard. The young ee, people attending our youth groups shared their accounts of experiencing mental ill-health and they worked alongside specialists and doctors in mental health, physical health, nutrition and psychology to help create the toolkit. The young people read through all the information from specialists and shared their thoughts and feelings around how to share this information in the toolkit in a child and young person friendly way. The toolkit launched on 10[th] October 2023 with an event held at Retford Town Hall. Young people involved in the project were extremely proud to be part of the event and see the finished product printed and ready to share with children and young people across Bassetlaw. The peace of mind toolkit can be viewed: peace of mind toolkit – Mental Health Bassetlaw We have also been part of the Point of View Project, a project aiming to build new, strong and lasting relationships between Arts organisations and the wider voluntary community sector. This project was led by Bassetlaw Community and Voluntary Service (BCVS) and we were one of six other organisations delivering the project. We ran a number of taster art sessions to see what types of art young people were interested in and would engage in. These sessions included photography and abstract art which enabled young people to explore pattens of colour. This project led to young people having increased confidence in experimenting with art. As a result of this project, young people secured volunteering opportunities through various - projects and activities. More about the POV project can be viewed : Centre Place POV | Bassetlaw CVS (bcvs.org.uk) I look forward to continuing working with young people and partner organisations on future projects during 2024. Georgia Crossland 5 Service Manager ## **The LGBT+ Service Nottinghamshire** LGBT+ Service Nottinghamshire offers professional and specialist services for children and young people aged from 11-25 and their parent and carer around specialist gender identity and sexual orientation support. We have been offering LGBT+ services under The Centre Place since 2010. We offer training and consultancy services for professionals across Nottinghamshire alongside our direct support to families which includes an 11-16 LGBT+ group, a 16-25 LGBT+ group, Trans* and gender diverse group, parents and carers one-to-one support for children & young people and parents and carers. We also offer LGBT+ counselling and family mediation. In 2022, we expanded our geographical reach to offering remote services in Nottingham City. We have continued to chair Nottinghamshire LGBT+ Partnership Forum, previously known as Bassetlaw LGBT+ forum which we established in 2012. We have continued to expand our LGBT+ networks and are actively involved in the UK and Ireland LGBT+ Youth Network, and the National Trans Youth Network which involves over 200 people working across the sector. The aim of this is to work collaboratively, to raise national standards of LGBT+ youth work, increasing visibility of the existence and diverse needs of LGBT+ young people. This Network has provided us with the opportunity to become Rainbow Flag Award Delivery Partner. ## **Rainbow Flag Award Delivery Partner** The Rainbow Flag Award is a national Quality Assurance Framework for all schools and colleges, focusing on LGBT+, inclusion and visibility. We were successful in becoming a delivery partner in 2020 along with only eight organisations across England. We completed the training for delivery partners in August 2021 and delivered to our first cohort in September 2021. In 2023, the programme expanded adding a framework for any service delivering youth work and we were proud to welcomed our first youth service to the award in April 2023. **Future Plans:** As the award has been running a couple of years we are working with delivery partners to make changes to the framework following feedback from schools and colleges. We look forward to delivering the new framework in 2024-2025. ## **Training and Consultancy** Over the past year, we have delivered LGBT+ awareness training to 154 professionals from private, public and voluntary sector organisations. We have continued to share our knowledge of positive LGBT+ inclusion and young people’s experiences with the aim of tackling LGBT+ inequalities. ## **Group Sessions and Community Engagement** We have continued to deliver group sessions providing information and advice on LGBT+ issues and inequalities, rights and legislation and opportunities to engage within social and community-based activities. We have a structured programme of workshops and activities that we deliver on a weekly basis during a section of the group sessions. Example of some of the workshops and sessions that have been delivered are included within the appendix. 6 ## **Service Delivery** ||125| |---|---| |Number of New Referrals|| ||224| |Number of one-to-one sessions provided|| ||79| |Number of group sessions provided|| A demographic breakdown of the children and young people is outlined below: |**Gender Identity**|**Aged 11-15**|**Aged 16-18**|**Aged 19 – 25**|**Aged 25 years**| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**years**|**years**|**years**|**+**| |||||| |Male|12|6|10|0| |Female|13|9|5|1| |Trans Male|23|23|15|0| |Trans Female|11|9|22|0| |Non-Binary|5|9|9|0| |Gender fluid|7|3|1|0| |Self-describe|5|3|4|0| |Questioning|4|2|1|0| |Unknown|2|0|1|0| |**Total**|**82**|**62**|**68**|**1**| |**Total number**||||**213**| |**Sexual Orientation**|**Aged 11-15**|**Aged 16-18**|**Aged 19 – 25**|**Aged 25 years**| ||**years**|**years**|**years**|**+**| |||||| |Heterosexual|3|5|6|0| |Lesbian/Gay female|8|4|8|0| |Gay male|13|4|5|0| |Bisexual|16|16|14|0| 7 |Pansexual

The service was established in 2004 as an addition to existing provision provided by The Centre Place. The Service provides one-to-one mental health support and counselling across the Bassetlaw district, with the majority of appointments being provided within Worksop and Retford towns. The Mental health and wellbeing service provides mental health support to children and young people who do not require counselling but require support with a range of issues including anxiety, resilience building, self-help techniques, managing stress. Sessions for both services are provided for 6-12 weeks with the option to extend or re-refer If additional sessions are required. Following the consultation with young people around a mental health and wellbeing youth group, we ran the group as a pilot. However, after the first 6-month program was delivered attendance began to reduce. We therefore went back to consultation and using the learning from the pilot we created mental health workshops which will be delivered to young people in schools. The workshops plan to launch in May 2024. ## **Talkzone Mental Health and Counselling Service** |**Talkzone Mental Health and Counselling Service**|| |---|---| |**Total number of referrals**|**468**| |**Average waiting time from referral to intervention (days)**|**28**| |**Number of appointments delivered**|**1656**| A demographic breakdown of the children and young people is outlined below: 11 |**Gender Identity**|**Aged 11-15 years**|**Aged 16-18**

The SPLW employs a non-medical holistic approach to provide children and young people aged 11-19 with one-to-one personalised support. This approach enables young people to take control of their wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes, focusing on the wider determines of health. The success of this role has led to increased workforce and this year led to permanent positions within Kingfisher Family Practice. Therefore, from July 2024 this role will no longer be offered in partnership with The Centre Place. We are honoured to have been part of the development and growth of this role and will continue to work with the social prescribing link workers through our local networks. ## **Future Plans and Development** We have been awarded a two-year contact to host two mental health practitioners for the Integrated Neighbourhood Teams providing targeted interventions to children and young people under the principles of the THRIVE framework, offering integrated, person-centred and needs-led support. We aim to recruit to the post during 2024. ## **Appendix 1 – Community engagement** 14 A￿￿0x2 .

Exemption from preparing a cash flow slatement Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the finim¢ial statements. Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. Income and endowments Voluntary income including donations. gifts. legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with 5u(ficient reliability.

All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that categorv. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on ihe spread of staff costs. Choritable activilies Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is r¢cognis¢d as deferred income. Pensions The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year. Taxation The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charltable cotnpany for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exetnpt from taxation in respect of income or capital gain5 received within categories covered by Chapter i Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act 201 O or Sectioii 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to ihe extent thai such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Tangible fixed assets Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accuTnulated impairmev]t losses. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to WTlte off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: A55et class Computer equipment Fixtures & fittings Depreciation method and rate J) /0 straight liTJe 20 % straight line Stoek Siock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). Page 10 The Centre Place Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued) Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services perfonned in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaclion price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairn]ent of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original tenns of the receivables. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other 5hort-tenn highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
