COMMUNITIES EMPOWERMENT NETWORK TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 CEN'S FOUNDERS The founders saw the process of challenging school exclusion as necessitatin8 the engagement of a team of advocates to deal with exclusion cases. but also as involving parents in analysing what was wrong with schools, practices and having the capacity, collectively, to challenge those practices and the government policies that enabled and validated them. The late Gerry Gemwn was the recently retired principal education officer at the Commission for Racial Equality. He helped to estsblish the Working Group Against Racism in Children's Resources and was their director when we got together to discuss the need for an entity such as CEN. Jimi Adefiranye was a councillor in the Borough of Lewisham who had a concern about leve15 of exclusion in that borough and the disproportionate number of black children being excluded from London's schools. The late John O'malley was a special educational needs consultsnt and a community activist. He had a concern about the high number of children with Special Educational Needs who were being excluded from school on account of their disruptive behaviour. as well as those who were being wrongly labelled, while their needs remained unidentified.

COMMUNITIES EMPOWERMENT NETWORK TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Commitment to High-Quality Training Since 2016. CEN has trained aspiring Education Advocates- many of them future lawyers- through a structured 3-module programme covering: Advocacy Safeguarding Case Management Although external volunteer training paused due to sector-wide funding pressures and 2 partner withdrawal, CEN used this period to re-evaluate and redesign its approach. The long-term plan is to establish an in-house, accredited training offer, creating a more resilient and scalable training pipeline that will support both CEN 2nd the broader advocacy ecosystem. Volunteer Engagement Despite training interruptions, CEN continued to deltver high-quality casework with a dedicated team of volunteers. Their contributions ensured children continued to receive expert support, even during capacity constraints. A refreshed. intern311y led volunteer strategy remains central to CEN'S future development. Funding Opportunities and Strategic Renewal Throughout 2024, CEN continued to explore diverse income opportunities. A crowdfunding campaign helped raise awareness and reinforced community support, while new philanthropic engagement presented a promising opportunity for transformational investment. In late 2024. a founder advised that 2 philanthropic foundation had signalled intent to support CEN at a significant level. Although this has not yeL evolved into a concrete offer, the scale of the proposal potentially £1.5m per year inspired CEN to create an ambitious, future-focused strategic plan, which includes the following elements..

GOING CONCERN As a part of its review of the charivs risk the Trustees assess whether the charity remains a going concern and will be able to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. The Trustees believe the risks currently in place put the charity at risk of not being 3 going concern and remaining in operational existence for at least 12 months into the future. As such they have started to take action to safeguard the funds of the charity and consider alternative options if continued trading is no longer viable. PUBLIC BENEFIT The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commi$5ion'5 general guidance on public benefit and publication by Charity Commission "Charities and Public Benefit". Since 1999, CEN has been helping parents whose children have been excluded or who are at risk of exclusion to navigate the increasingly legalistic world that exists once a child ha5 been placed into the indeterminate state that is exclusion. CEN'S charitsble purposes are to provide advice, support and representation to parents whose children are experiencing problems in school across London. 80°A of clients are BAMER.

The trustees have made this assessment in respect of the unlikelih¢)od of CEN remaining in operational existence for at least a period of one year f rom the date of approval of these accounts. The Trustees are cognisant of the risks that the charity is carrying such as the uncertainty of future funding and obtaining a minimum unrestricted reserve sufficiency. The trustees have concluded that there may additionally be other material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. Income recognition Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities1SOFAI on a receivable basis. when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity's 355ets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement. the income is probable and can be measured reliably. Income subject to temis and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been meL All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs. Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met. 12 Doc ID.. eOcQcc2caf62d087f5aa0744dcddbd8a5b4055ca

Liabilities arising from future fvnding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain. give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accountin8 year-end.
