Welcome A message from Professor Peter Fonagy OBE, retiring Chief Executive and The Hon Michael Samuel MBE. Chair of the Board of Trustees The past financial year. ending 31 August 2024. has seen significont achievements for Anno Freud. We've now completed three of the five years of our strategy. and in that time we've taken huge steps towards closing the gap in mental health support for children. young people, and families. We've continued to expand our essential support through extensive work in schools and colleges, training professionals across the UK. and providing crucial family assistance vio local outhorities. A particular milestone wos the launch of our manifesto. 'Thinking differently.. which calls on the government to prioritise prevention and early intervention in mentol health care. With less thon a third of people seeking mentol heolth support in the UK octuolly receiving itl our mission remains critical. It is essential that we deeply understand the needs of young people by carefully listening to their experiences ond ensuring their voices shape our actions. Our commitment to being o diverse and collaborative organis(rtion that truly represents the communities we serve has been strengthened this year. through dedicated efforts in equity, diversity. inclusion. and participation. Alongside reflecting on these ochievements. l informed the Boord and Executive of my intention to retire as CEO at the er)d of the 2024-2025 academic year. My journey with Anna Freud has been an extraordinary privilege, enriched immeasurably by the talented and passionate colleagues who have worked tirelessly alongside me. l am profoundly groteful to each ond every person who hos contributed to making Anna Freud the brilliant ond compassionate child mental health chority it is today. I would also like to extend o personal thank you to the clinicians whose dedication provides vital support and hope to bobies. children. and young people every day- as they once provided essential help to me during my own adolescence. Equally. I wont to express my gratitude to the educators and researchers whose tireless commitment and innovation continue to odvance our understonding and improve our proctices. Additionolly. heartfelt thanks go to the professional support staff. whose contributions behind the scenes moke our mission achievable and our impact sustainable. Finolly. we ore delighted to announce Professor Eamon Accrory os our CEO beginning I September 2024.

His expertise. commitment. and passion promise exciting new era for our charity.

A message from our new Chief Executive. Professor Eamon Mccrory In these chollenging times. our mission is more important than ever. y vision for Anna Freud is rooted in two core principles: innovotion ond collaboration. These volues have been central to our organisation since its inception. ond I believe they are two sides of the same coin. We must continue to strive to develop fresh ideas - and we must improve access to this new knowledge by sharing the latest scientific and clinical insights. I believe that we can hove a transformotive societal impact if we work collaboratively. We con radically improve current models of prevention and intervention for the mony thousonds of young people who need help ond support. I feel incredibly privileged to lead such an extraordinary orgonisotion ond I'm truly excited about what we can achieve. We would like to thank oll Anno Freud colleagues. os well as the young people, porents, carers and supporters who enable us to complete our essential work towards building the mental wellbeing of the next generation.

Objectives and activities Anna Freud is a mental health charity and we've been supporting children and young people for over 70 years. We listen to and learn from their diverse voices, and integrate this with learnings from our science and practice to develop and deliver mental health care. This holistic approach has world-changing potential - our training, schools support. networks, partnerships and resources equip those who impact children and young people's lives with the knowledge and skills to support their mental health. Our vision We want to see a world where all children and young people can reach their full potential; a world where the right support is available at the right time. Our mission O We wont to close the gap in mental health and wellbeing by advancing. translating and sharing the best proctice with those who impact the lives of children. young people and families. Our values underpin all of our work. See our organisational

Our strategy and goals Our 2022-2026 Closing the Gap strategy outlines how we will close the gaps in mental health support so all children and young people can reach their potential. We want to close gaps in science. implementation and knowledge to empower parents, carers and professionals to support children and young people. Closing gaps in science: we can only support mental ill health if we understand its couses. We will conduct cutting-edge research and listen to lived experience and widen participation to develop new and better solutions. Closing gaps in implementation: we will design and test new approaches to improve available support. Closing gaps in knowledge: we will share knowledge of what works ond best practice. providing training to empower professionals with the skills and understanding to support children and young people. Supporting our people We believe our people are our greatest osset ond that they work best when they're supported. We support our colleagues through: Wellbeing support: all staff have access to a third-party employee assistance programme. con dedicate one Wednesday afternoon a month to a wellbeing activity and finish at 3pm every Friday. Flexible working: we support hybrid working and offer fully remote work during the summer. to support those with caring responsibilities. Inclusion: we've launched on EDI Acceleration Group to monitor our progress in implementing our EDI strategy. People and culture: we developed a new people and culture strategy for 2023-2026, reviewing ways of working and setting out how we can develop to achieve our ambitions. Employee voice: we introduced an employee voice forum in autumn 2023 for colleagues to share their thoughts on decision-moking across our organisation.

Changing ourselves We need to adapt to meet the needs of children and young people. In line with our strategic goals, we have taken several steps towards transforming our organisation over the last year. EDI Participation At the halfwoy point of our 2022-2026 EDI strategy, we hove made significant progress towards our four objectives. Objective one: representation We have been improving our diversity monitoring processes across all our operations by investing in better systems (salesforce) and ensuring more consistency in our questions to help us identify where we most need to focus our efforts. Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states every child and young person has the right to express their views. feelings and wishes on matters affecting them, and to have those views considered and taken seriously., We are doing this by collaborating with the young people and families who have lived experience of mental ill health or accessing mental health services. We launched our first participation strategy in spring 2024 to provide a roadmap for embedding participation in everything we do. The strategy details our practice model. the Lundy Model of Participation. Under this model, children and young people should be given space to be heord. power to use their voice. an audience to listen to them. and influence over decision moking. Objective two: inclusion and belonging We have continued our support for diversity networks. which create community. provide safe spaces. and deliver awareness events for all colleagues. Objective three: continuous learning We've implemented Tnandatory EDI training for oll colleagues. This improves aworeness of the principles of EDI and encourages openness to different perspectives and experiences. Download our full artici crtion strote In 2023. we provided 90 opportunities for young people, parents and carers to inf luence strategy, research and delivery. We will continue our participation journey and further develop opportunities for young people and their families to influence our work. Objertive four community wellbeing We have adopted a restorative practice approach, which centres on conflict resolution, accountability and resilience. to ensure all colleagues are safe to learn and ask questions. There is still work to be done, but the steps we have taken have laid foundations for even more progress. Our autumn 2024 EDI progress report will set torgets for the final two years of the strategy. 11

Brand, marketing and communications This year we have: developed our Brand, Morketing and External Affairs Team provided brand. morketing and communications expertise to support delivery of strategic. controctual and income-generating activities used internal communications to foster community and belonging. supporting our EDI ambitions. Looking after our people This year we have: developed a new people strategy created an orgonisotional development function to build culture and drive forward employee wellbeing initiatives increosed copacity of our People ond Culture Team to enhance support for managers and colleagues. Digital transfomiation This year we have: launched a new website with the tools to power a multi-medio rich platform of knowledge and experience exchange increosed the accessibility and efficacy of our digital processes used technology to provide insights that will promote more meaningful relationships with those we serve. 12

Sustainability Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Consumption (kwh) and greenhouse gas emission (tC02e) total This report summorises our energy usage. emissions, efficiency actions ond performance under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting regulations. These regulations require us to report our greenhouse gas emissions from scope one and two, (electricity, gas and tronsport) every year. Our report has been prepared in line with the March 2019 Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy IBEIS) guidelines. We have included measured emissions from activities that we have financial control over as required under The Companies (Directors. Report) ond Limited Liability Partnerships {Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018. unless otherwise stated in the exclusions statement. This is our third yeor of reporting on the consumption and associated emissions for our operations. Scope one consumption and emissions relote to direct greenhouse gas emissions that occur from sources we control or own {e.g., fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces. vehicles). Scope two consumption ond emissions relate to indirect greenhouse gas emissions ossociated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat ond cooling (gas and electricity use in buildings). Scope three consumption and emissions relote to emissions resulting from sources not within scope one and two. including business travel (vehicle. air and rail). disposal and treatment of waste generated in operations. 13

Schools £2.6m12023: £L6ml Fundraising Our fundraising strategy remains focused on five core income streams: individual giving. corporate partnerships. trusts and foundations. statutory grants and community giving. This is to provide financial stobility but to also ensure a diverse portfolio of income. without overreliance on one income stream. The surplus for the year will support continued investment in our Closing the Gap strategy (2022-2026). The outlook for income and mojor training progrommes is less certain than in previous years. The landscape for government f unding is uncertain and we are seeing delays in the commissioning of new services. This year we achieved £3.6m of voluntary income thanks to our valued supporters. Despite the challenging fundraising environment, we are delighted to have received significant support for our flagship Schools and Colleges Early Support Service and UK Trauma Council projects. We also set up our new Anna Freud Pioneers initiative (formerly Giving Circle), attracting support from dedicated philanthropists who share our desire to build o mentally healthy society. We are excited to be running our first event towards the end of the calendor year to officially lounch the giving group and share more about this impactful initiative. Thank you to our growing community of Pioneers who provide us with core funding. Your support is vital to our work and gives us space for innovation. enabling us to remain agile as an organisation. The delivery of our Closing the Gop strotegy will allow us to undertoke more tailored training and support through the use of research and practice combined with technology. This will be essential to support our delivery through a more economicolly challenging environment.

Going concern The Board of Trustees having reviewed the financial position and financial forecasts hove concluded that there are sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of a least 12 months from the date of approvol of the financial statements. Trustees are satisfied that Anno Freud continues to have a robust risk management framework including a strong system of financial controls which is sufficient and appropriate for effective management of all known strategic. operational and financial risks. The Board therefore continues to support the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the annual accounts. Principal risks and uncertainties Approach to risk management The Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring a robust risk manogement framework is in place for identifying, mitigating and managing risks across all of Anna Freud's activities. The Board is supported by its sub-committees in reviewing and monitoring risks ensuring that the risk management framework is adequate and effective. The Board's sub-committees provide critical oversight to the Executive ensuring that the risk management approach is embedded across the organisation. integrated into our annual business planning and reporting cycle and spans all our activities. 17

Summary of potential risks the Board has identified Strategic We are in the fourth year of our Closing the Gap strategy with ongoing investment required to deliver critical new elements and ensuring that we maximise the return and impact from systems that are in use. We have implemented a comprehensive programme management framework to ensure that we hove right people resource to mointoin oversight on key deliverables and milestones. Operational delivery The grovrth in breadth and scale of Anna Freud's activities presents a challenge in maintaining oversight and governance. We manage this through a combination of oversight from our Board sub-committees. a robust planning and performance review process. business continuity plans. risk assessments and evaluation of scenario plons. This delivers a framework to ensure that we can respond quickly to unforeseen or adverse events. Economic environment The economic outlook for Anno Freud is the most challenging this decade. Uncertainty on future government funding is causing the NHS and schools across the country to review both the timing and scale of their tender for services. The charity sector in general is always challenged by insufficient funding and increasing demand for services. However, after review the Executive and Trustees feel that the outlook for income is likely to be adverse in the coming yeors. Consequently we will use our plonning process in 2025 to deliver a multi-year plan that incorporates efficiency measures. a programme to ensure that we maximise all benefits from our Closing the Gap strategy and income maximisation and diversification. The plans will be prepared by the Executive and be overseen by the Finance Committee. Regular updates will be provided to the main Board through the Finance Committee. Cyber security threats The threat of cyber security attocks continues to increase in both volume ond sophistication. The charity sector and hospitals have all seen increased levels of threat. Anno Freud has seen an increased level of attack and continues to invest in training for our staff that includes data security training for all new employees and volunteers with annual refresher training for all staff and volunteers. We continue to ensure that our IT infrastructure is updated and we undertake regular security testing to ensure that our IT infrastructure and dota remain secure. 18

We're aiming to shift our strategy. investment towards e-learning, self- directed learning and short courses, enabling us to package learning offers together and create new opportunities for connection and peer learning. One way that we impact the lives of children and young people is by supporting the adults who support them. such as school staff and clinicians. Developing new delivery methods and increasing accessibility will ollow us to train more professionals without reducing the quality of their learning, therefore improving the lives of the children and young people they support. Renewing our strategy from 2026 National Centre for Family Hubs We lounched the Department for Educotion-funded Notional Centre for Family Hubs (NCFH) in spring 202 1. in collaboration with the Early Intervention Foundation. The NCFH supports family hubs by shoring best practice with hub providers across England. The Centre is informed by lived experience and offers support through tools. resources and troining.

view, and for such internal control as the Trustees detemine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from moterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to regulatory requirements of the Charity Commission. Care Quality Commission (CQC), for GDPR and safeguarding regulations, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We olso considered those lows and regulations tht hove a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, FRSIO2, the Charities Act 2011. the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). payroll tox ond sales tax. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue ond management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non- compliance with lows and regulotion and fraud evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities identifying and testing journals. including journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions challenging assumptions ond judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates. In preparing the financial statements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of occounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as o whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable ossurance is a high level of assurance, but is not o guorantee that on audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements con arise from fraud or error and ore considered material if, individuolly or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregulorities, including froud, are instonces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extend to which our procedures are capoble of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is olso greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as froud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Finonciol Reporting Council's website at: Qudito￿. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of our report This report is mode solely to the charitable company's members. as o body. in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Componies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertoken so that we might state to the choritable company s members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law. we do not accept or assume responsibility to onyone other than the charitable company ond the choritoble company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
