Small Charities Coalition, International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA) and the Childhood Bereavement Network.
## **Risks and internal control**
The major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified by the Chief Executive and Trustees, and systems established to mitigate those risks are reviewed on a regular basis.
## **Vision and Mission**
**Partnership for Children’s Vision is a world in which the development of mental health and emotional resilience is part of life for every child – at home, at school and in the community.**
## **Our Mission is to help children and young people, throughout the world, develop skills which will enhance their present and future emotional well-being.**
The Trustees note the Charity Commission’s guidance on the need for charities to deliver a public benefit. They have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, and believe that our Strategic Plan 2020 - 2023, outlined on page 20, shows how we plan to meet this responsibility.
## **Achievements and performance**
2020 was a year of challenges and opportunity for Partnership for Children. At the beginning of the year when as we started to implement our new strategy, we had no idea that a world-wide pandemic was on the horizon and that schools around the world would close their doors overnight. As a small, nimble organisation, we were quickly able to respond to the challenges of home working and home schooling. We adapted our training to be delivered online rather than face to face and 400 teachers in the UK were trained online. We produced 7 sets of free resources to boost the well-being of children who were at home. We developed videos for parents to support the emotional well-being of their children and how to talk to children about loss and death as well as producing new activity cards for parents and practitioners to use with young children aged 3 – 5 years. Many teachers used our materials during lockdown and we were delighted that a group of young carers continued to taking part in Passport during lockdown by meeting online rather than at a young carers centre. We also supported our partner organisations around the world to continue to reach teachers by sharing the resources we had developed which were translated into 7 different languages. We organised regular webinars to share best practice in online training and digital resources and ideas on how to support the mental health and well-being of children during this difficult time when our work is more important than ever and demand for support for children’s well-being is high.
_“The programme has been helping to build resilience - something that is needed more than ever in these challenging times. Many adults are struggling with the restrictions and difficulties of lockdown and Covid and when a child is struggling, this adds further to the concerns on the mind of the parent. By building resilience in our children we are not only supporting the young people to navigate a path through any challenging circumstances but are supporting parents’ health and wellbeing, by reducing the potential of another layer of worry. Apple is a character that children can relate to, as a hamster, he is a popular pet for Primary pupils. We managed to source a 'larger than life' version, that fitted a child friendly face-mask perfectly!”_ **Nicky Brown, Depute Head Teacher, Moffatt Academy, Scotland**
In addition to this new work in response to Covid, we continued, where possible, with our planned activities and on-going projects in line with our strategic goals. We completed our new Skills for Life Programme, SPARK Resilience, for 10 to 12 year olds, which will be piloted in 2021. We continued our work in Oldham to
5
## **Partnership for Children**
offer our Skills for Life Programmes to primary schools in the region. Thanks to on-going funding from the Kavli Trust, we trained 237 teachers in 37 schools in Dumfries and Galloway and Newcastle to run our Skills for Life Programmes and we continued our work with vulnerable children including 300 children in the UK, Cayman and Norway taking part in _Zippy’s Friends for Pupils with Special Needs._
We are delighted to say that by December 2020 over 2 million children have benefitted from our work since Partnership for Children was founded in 2001. Despite the unprecedented challenge of school closures around the world in 2020, 180,035 children took part in our Skills for Life Programmes during the 2019/20 academic year, at a time when our work promoting good mental health and emotional resilience has never been more vital.
## **Financial Review**
## **Finance and Funding**
In 2020 our income was £256,418 (£494,856 in 2019) and expenditure was £375,848 (£398,445 in 2019), resulting in a deficit of £119,430 (£96,411 surplus in 2019). This year 62% of our income was earned from licence fees, training and sale of materials and 38% was from voluntary donations and grants.
At the beginning of 2020 the Trustees had approved a deficit budget as we embarked on our ambitious new strategy to reach more children, including underserved groups such as vulnerable children and to enhance our partnerships both in the UK and around the world. These activities would be funded from the general unrestricted fund, which was £207,823 at the end of 2019 and our designated fund, thanks to a generous legacy, which had been set aside to develop and digitalise our programmes. When Covid-19 struck, we therefore had sufficient resources to adapt our services and whilst continuing to invest in planned projects such as our work with vulnerable children, our work in Scotland and the completion of our new programme, Spark Resilience. Although our income for the year was half that of 2019 and we ended the year with a deficit of £119,430, the charity remains financially stable, with a broad income base and a good balance between earned and voluntary income and tightly controlled costs.
Income from Trusts and Foundations continues to fund our work in the UK. In 2020 we received our final grant payments from a two trusts that have supported our work with vulnerable children over a number of years – the Leathersellers’ Charitable Foundation and the John Ellerman Foundation. These grant have enabled us to develop our work with children with special educational needs and to start working with other groups of vulnerable children such as looked after children and young carers. Our core funding grant from the Vivmar Foundation came to an end after a successful 12-year partnership due to a change in priorities of the foundation. We received our second year of funding from the Kavli Fund for our work in Scotland and Newcastle and we received additional ‘emergency’ funding from The Leathersellers’ and the Diversity Project to support us as we responded to the Covid crisis, as well as donations from smaller trusts which were very welcome when many trusts were redirecting their funding to the Covid response. The invaluable regular donations from our _Friends_ and from our donors who gave at Christmas were vital in helping us to continue our work. We were also appreciative of the volunteers who gave freely of their time and expertise to support our work. The Trustees and staff are deeply grateful to everyone who supported our work during this challenging year.
The charity continues to participate in the voluntary system of fundraising regulation operated by the Fundraising Regulator.

## **Partnership for Children**
## **Investment powers and policy**
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity may invest its surplus funds in any way the Trustees wish. We maintain two current accounts at HSBC Bank plc, and also maintain one interest bearing deposit account at Virgin Money and one interest bearing deposit account at Bath Building Society.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity has a policy of holding a Special Reserve equivalent to at least three months’ core expenditure, in order to ensure that our work is not disrupted by short-term revenue problems, and that in the unlikely event of the charity having to close down, all costs could be covered. The Special Reserve of £100,000 was maintained at this level throughout the year and this level falls within the policy.
## **Indemnity insurance**
The charity paid insurance premiums of £156 for the period to indemnify Trustees from any loss arising from neglect or defaults of Trustees and any consequent loss.
## **Plans for future periods**
The Trustees believe that the charity continues to be in good shape and well-placed to achieve our mission and our new strategy. _Zippy’s Friends_ , _Apple’s Friends, Passport_ and our work with vulnerable children and underserved groups will continue to expand in 2021, both nationally and internationally. _SPARK Resilience,_ the new programme for older children, will be piloted in the UK and Brazil, meaning that we will have four programmes to cover the full primary school age range under our _Skills for Life_ banner.
We are investing in updating and digitalising our programmes to ensure they are relevant and in line with current teaching practice and are available to all across the digital divide. We plan to expand our work with children who are at most risk of poor mental health, thanks to funding received at the end of 2020 and we hope to build upon the work we have started with Early Years (children aged 3 – 5 years). Internationally we are investing in enhancing our partnerships to increase the reach and depth of our engagement with our existing Licensed Partners as well as to expand our work in resource poor settings and seek new long term sustainable partnerships both in the UK and around the world.
In order to achieve our strategy, we plan to restructure our earned income model as a result of digitalising our programmes and will seek out new partnerships and optimise our structure so that it is fit for purpose and we have the capacity to achieve our strategic goals.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
Company and charity law requires the Trustees to prepare the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with FRS102 and the charity SORP (FRS 102).

In doing so, the Trustees are responsible for:
- selecting suitable accounting policies and then applying them consistently;
- making sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

## **Independent auditors' report to the members of Partnership for Children**
We have audited the financial statements of Partnership for Children for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’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 anyone other than the charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
In our opinion, the financial statements:

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;

## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law.

We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
- the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

## **1.9. Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

## **1.10. Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due.
