Westbourne Park Family Centre Trustees, Report The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. Annual Report 24-25 This year has seen a significant growth and development in all areas of our work. We have increased our Staff team, the quantity and variety of services we offer and income by 750A to support this growth and strengthen our reserves. In April we appointed Brandi Levy as our Children's manager and Lead Worker. Her role is to be responsible for and develop our existing after school and holiday clubs with children aged 4-11 and establish our new 'Thrive' project working in partnership with Edward Wilson School to support and improve children's attendance and wellbeing. Funded by John Lyon's the Thrive project has already had a big impact within the school with attendance increasing over the year from 90.7/ to 94.50/. The project included whole school assemblies, attendance reward trips, afterschool and holiday provision, a walking taxi service and therapy for targeted children provided by the Catholic Children's Societv. Another new initiative acr055 the year included starting an afterschool club for neurodiverse children in primary schools, We had already established a similar club for secondary aged pupils so through providing a club for primary age group we are able to support children and families across their school life. There is a ratio of I staff for 2 children which enables us to focus activities tailored around the children's needs and interests In January 2025 the local contingency hotels were closed to asylum seekers, the majority of whom were then dispersed across London and the county. As a result, our project providing cooking and a weekly communal meal for them adapted to welcome all local families, whilst still inviting the remaining asylum seekers. After a couple of years in working with Westminster Housing and Everyone Active through providing afterschool estate-based clubs we decided to end the project due to persistent low attendance. This was a difficult decision to make with partners, but it has enabled us to start other after school provision, as previously mentioned, with higher levels of attendance and engagement. As a result of a very successful fundraising year, we have achieved three months reserve for the first time in 22 years of operation. The total Income received was £534,810 a 58Yo increase compared to the previous year 1£338,5331 and our expenditure was £472,494 a 33% increase compared to the previous year1£353,6711. We continue to support staff and volunteers through an annual training, development and review program and building management capacity through the new appointment of staff and releasing the CEO away from delivery of activities to overseeing and developing the charity. Improving our services to support children and families remains a focus and so we have been working on securing the NVCO frusted Standard level I to ensure standards and expectations are high. We achieve this successfully in April 25, with the assessor stating that our staff rated hope in the organisation higher that any other of the 60 organisations he has assessed. As a Christian faith-based organi5ation, we are hopeful about the future, despite the many challenges for children and families. We will continue to provide an inclusive environment adapting to meet local needs alongside those whom we serve to strengthen families and support children in becoming responsible and healthy adults.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements.

Consequently l express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a 'true and fair, view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner's statement.
