learning disabilities and young people to live safe, healthy and fulfilled lives.
Our Mission states that we do this by..
Promoting independence and life skills
Supporting people to try new things
Creating opportunities for people to come together
Our Values are that we strive to be:
Quality
Trusted
Creative
Inclusive
The charity delivers public benefit through the provision of the following Servi￿S.
Adult Services:
1. Outreach and Community Support Service - This, our largest service, supports and
enables people to remain living in the community and reduces the need for individuals to
enter residential care. This service works with eighty individuals each week and provides
support to maintain and develop independence in the community setting. The support
offered can vary significantly between individuals and each case is managed according to
an individualised care plan agreed with the local authority or contract holder. Through this
work, we seek to promote independen￿, tackle social isolation and keep people safe.
2. Without Walls - This service is for people with severe and profound leaming disabilities.
It provides intensive support to people with complex and challenging behaviours. The aim
of the support is to reduce challenging behaviours, enabling people to remain living at
home in their home borough, and to transition these people into less intensive services.
once they have effective behaviour support plans in pla￿.

3. Rathbone Connect- This service offers a mix of drop-in support sessions and flexible 1 .1
home visitslsupport sessions. The people this team support are independent travellers,
who usually have their own tenancy. but may have fluctuating support needs, be hard to
engage with, or lead chaotic lifestyles. The team have the flexibility to be very responsive,
enabling people who use the drop-in to phone up at short notice to request same daylnext
day support.
4. Supported Living - We have two projects. These provide individually tailored packages
to individuals with high support needs who live within shared homes in the community. The
charity also owns and operates one of these properties under HMO regulation. These
projects are delivered with a strong emphasis on promoting the independence and
community participation of the people who live in them.
One of these teams support people with Autismlmoderate to severe learning disabilities,
the other team support people with mild to moderate learning disabilities, who are
independent travellers and are potentially able to develop independent living skills in order
to transition to more independent living.
5. Gardening Group the group have weekly sessions at their local allotment plot where
they grow food to eat and to share. Up to 12 beneficiaries attend and learn gardening
skills, get some exercise and meet up with friends. The group also helps to maintain the
garden at the charity's office building.
6. HIVE Café - HIVE Café is situated within a leaming disability hub created by Lambeth
Council. The café was established to provide learning and paid employment opportunities
for young people with learning disabilities who wish to go on to a career in the hospitality
and catering industries.
7. Adult Social and Educational Groups All of these activities provide education and
learning in a relaxed and safe setting, but besides this, they provide a valuable day out
which helps towards relieving the social isolation experienced by many people with
learning disabilities who live alone.
8. Regulatory Framework - The charity is registered with the Care Quality Commission
under the Domiciliary Care Regulations & Standards and is inspected in line with Care
Quality Commission ratings timescales. Following the most recent inspection, the service
maintained a 'Good' rating.

Children and Young People's Services:
Open Access Youth Clubs-we operate these clubs three nights each week, across two
sites at Knights Hill and Central Hill. We have places for up to 40 beneficiaries each
session. We offer a range of services and projects, many of which are grant specific, time
limited and change over time. The 'core' activities, which are maintained on an ongoing
basis, have a high emphasis on co-production. Throughout the service. children and young
people are supported to learn to speak up. take part and contribute to their project.
Learning Disability Youth Work - We offer a specialist learning disability youth club with
assisted transport places for the most vulnerable young people; we have an inclusive
evening for mainstream young people and those with learning disabilities. In addition, the
specialist learning disability youth Servi￿ activities offer respite to carers and families
whilst club activities are taking place and especially during residential and holiday
schemes.
Inspiring Learning - This project was established as a more targeted intervention than
our previous Homework Club. The project matches appropriately skilled or qualified
volunteer 'learning mentors, to young people struggling with school work, homework or
preparing for GCSES. Young people can self-refer. but the majority of them are referred
though partnerships we have with most of the local schools.
Targeted Interventions
These are programmes and projects established to deliver
outcomes in relation to specific identified issues, examples include Violence Reduction,
Knife Crime Prevention and Stronger Minds (an accredited mental health resilience
programme).
Employment Hub - The Hub provides careers advice and guidance to those to those up
to 30 years old with seeking employment and removing barriers to work.
Reward and Recognition - We offer a number of different ways of recognising young
people's achievement, which is an important part of our work building on self-confidence
and self-esteem. These include accreditation schemes, certification schemes and external
programmes such as the Jack Petchey awards.
The Old Library- This is home to our youth seNices and operates as a local community
hub. The building is used by a number of local groups both as offices and for community
activities. Leased from Lambeth Council, Rathbone needs to raise income from the hire
of offices and rooms to pay for the maintenance of the building.

Public Benefit
Advice, Education, Guidance and Support - These are delivered through our services
and through events and community activities. We offer advice and support to individuals,
parents, carers, families and other professionals.
Community Participation - The charity has been established within our local community
for 59 years and is well known to local residents and businesses. We take part in local
community activities and forums and work closely with local authority as a Servi￿ provider
and active partner within the Lambeth learning disability community. The charity
contributes to the local economy by providing a range of employment and volunteering
opportunities and positively promotes the employment of disabled people.
Co-Production - During the year, we continued to implement the values of co-production
throughout our planning and pro￿sses. Now forming a key part of our strategy, it is our
intention to use co-production principles to put children and young people and adults with
learning disabilities at the heart of our approach.
Measuring Success- We do this annually through Customer & Staff Satisfaction Surveys.
We maintain records of previous years and report on year to year comparisons. Where
areas are identified for improvement or development, these are delivered through our
management teams and if organisational change is required, through our annual
Operational Plan. Compliance with CQC regulations and standards is measured through
the CQC inspection process. In accordance with CQC, Health & Safety and our own
Quality Assurance requirements, we carry out a programme of unannounced Spot Checks
on service provision. Reports on these are fed back into our continuous improvement
process. Our youth service is currently working to regain the London Youth Quality Mark.
Measuring Outcomes - In order to improve our eviden￿ base of how effectively our
youth services achieve our planned outcomes, we continued to use our tailored Outcomes
Measurement tool validated by The Centre for Youth Impact. We have also invested in a
software programme to monitor and evidence all of our youth service delivery activities.
Volunteers
The Board of Trustees had 10 members during the year. Across the
organisation, we benefitted from a further 21 volunteers in roles such as Offi￿ support,
adult groups, youth mentoring (Inspiring Learning) and youth work. The charity recognises
the benefit of volunteers to our work and their contribution allows us to extend our projects
to additional beneficiaries, which in tum makes resources stretch further.
The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on
public benefit.

Achievements and Performance
The charity continued to deliver its Objectives in accordan￿ with its Vision, Mission and
Values.
The main charity objective for the year was to continue to maintain the existing service
delivery, quality and beneficiary levels.
Performance
Both the Adults and Children & Young People's ServI￿S and projects
performed well. The charity was satisfied that the services were delivered well, safely and
to the quality and regulatory standards required.
The Outreach & Community Support Service maintained its Care Quality Commission
'Good' rating.
Our Children & Young People's Service is currently being assessed to regain London
Youth's quality assuran￿ programme 'The Youth Quality Mark,.
Enhancing Capacity Through Technology- Throughout the year. the Senior Management
Team continued the implementation of our 'digital transformation, programme. All of the
organisations work processes began the move to cloud-based IT systems and 'app' based
technology. This strive towards a paperless organisation will see a more efficient,
streamlined back offi￿, provide enhanced care and support monitoring and recording
across all projects and services. Our financial processes. accuracy and efficiency have
improved and become more streamlined due to the better integration of systems.
Financial Review
The financial results for 2024-2025 shown on the Statement of Financial Activities show
that overall in the year the charity has had a small increase (2/0) in income from
£2,423,906 (31 March 2024), to £2,473,756 (31 March 2025) an increase of £49,850.
Our costs increased in 2024-2025 by 8 % , to £2,485,544, an increase of £178.746 against
2023-24. The major significant reason for the escalation in costs was the increase in
Workfor￿ costs and a reduction in grant income.
Grant income in 2024-2025 was £414,223
The overall result for the year is a small deficit of £11,788.

Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission and produced a reserves policy which requires reserves
be developed to a reasonable level to ensure the charity can run efficiently and meet the
needs of the beneficiaries and the core activities could continue during a period of
unforeseen difficulty.
The value of these free reserves should be three months operating costs. 750/0 of the
reserves should be maintained in a readily realisable form- a bank accountwithout access
restrictions.
At 31 March 2025, our total reserves were £727,581. Our readily realisable reserves are
£318,995 which falls below our reserves policy. The organisation has set a target to build
up the reserves by £30.000 each year, which will be very challenging in the current
financial climate.
Principal Risks and Uncertalntles
Cost Increases - A major concem are the risks presented by the continuing cost of living
crisis, energy costs, workforce costs and inflation. The charity continues to address these
Un￿rtaIntieS through careful forward planning and a fundraising strategy to underpin the
organisation's sustainability. The main challenge we fa￿d throughout the year was
maintaining Servi￿ delivery within budget due to the escalation in overhead and staffing
costs.
Adult Social Care - An ongoing uncertainty is our ability to be able to fund the essential
London Living Wage for our employees. We are heavily reliant on the local authority being
able to uplift their contract fees annually to support the London Living Wage increases and
recognise the Gonsiderable financial pressures they face.
Fundraising - The risks to the Children and Young People's side of the organisation are
in relation to our ability to maintain sufficient income from fundraising and grant making
trusts to keep the services and projects running. To address this risk we retain the support
of a professional fundraiser and maintain a fundraising pipeline and strategy. During the
year we experienced challenges reaching our fundraising targets due to enhan￿d
competition in the sector and the fact that our income is above the eligibility threshold for
a number of funders.

its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion

basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are
described in the relevant settions of this report.
17

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other
information. 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 connettion 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, which includes the Directors, Report prepared for the
purposes of company law for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is
cons1Stent with the ftnancial statements,. and
the Directors, Report included within the Trustees, Report has been prepared in accordance with

•certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made;
•we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
18

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the
directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law} are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and
for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 accounting unless the trustees either intend to
liquidate the 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 a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed
below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the
industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to
applica ble laws and regulations, includ ing fraud.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a
material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial
statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests
included agreeing the fi'nancial statement disclosures to underlying 5UPPOrting documentation and
enquiries with management.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our
audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing
journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk
of material misstatement due to fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporknng Council's website. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
19

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with
Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken 50 that we
might state to the charitable 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 anyone other than the charitable company's members as a body,
for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial slaternents have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities-.
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 IFRS 102) - (Charities SORP FRS
102) (effective 1 January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitsble 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 othe￿ise slated in the relevant accoLtnting policy
or note.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting dale that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the Carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next reporting period.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the
income have been mel, 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 tunds, 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.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the charity is aware that probate has
been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(sl to the charity that
a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in
part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of
the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is
aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a
treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income
recognition are met.
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. In accordance with the Charities SORP {FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the
trustees, annual report for more information about their contribution.
on receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of
the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facililies
of equivalent economic benefit on the open market,- a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in
the period of receipt.
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.
Fund accounting
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these
criteria is charged to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable
purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
