The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

As in previous years the provision of media services was a major source of income, much of this work was performed in tandem with the direct charitable work.
## **Reserves policy**
The Reserves policy is to maintain sufficient reserves in order for the charity to meet its charitable objectives.
Many of the projects undertaken are fully funded and are treated as restricted fund activities. Over the duration of these projects it is anticipated that the restricted funds will be fully utilised and then the fund will close. If a fund is negative it is on the basis that future funding has been obtained to restore the restricted fund to a nil balance. Small deficits are funded from the unrestricted fund.
The unrestricted fund is used for working capital requirements. The trustees have no plans to build up the reserves, other than for working capital requirements. The trustees plan that the unrestricted reserves should equal approximately 6 months spending requirements.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The priorities for the 2025/26 financial year are:
1. Further develop our work in Immersive Storytelling and Heritage
2. Increase opportunities for Community Engagement, Skills and Inclusion in our projects
3. Forge new partnerships across the arts, heritage, health, education and digital innovation sectors and become a champion of this sector.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
When a vacancy arises a new trustee is searched for who will have the required skills, experience and expertise needed in order to strengthen the existing Board. All potential trustees have to complete a brief application form and are interviewed by the other board members.
## **Organisational structure**
The trustees of One to One Development Trust direct and oversee the charity. Board meetings are held 3 times a year, and are always attended by the Chief Executive, Judi Alston, who provides a report to the Board on past performance of the charity and of plans in hand for the subsequent period.

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of One to One Development Trust
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of One to One Development Trust ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, as there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Based on the adequacy of the charity's reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with their knowledge of the charity's ability to meet bills, payments and other liabilities as they fall due, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions**

## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost IT & media equipment - 33.3% on cost

2024-2025 has been marked by delivering on some very significant social impact projects like Streets of Change working with the homeless community and Powering Up working with young people and clinicians addressing inequalities in health. _https://onetoonedevelopment.org/portfolio/streets-ofchange/_
_Some of the workers involved in the Streets of Change film at the launch night_
Amid a worsening housing crisis in the UK, ‘Streets of Change’ a Virtual Reality experience and documentary film, in different ways, both expose the harsh reality of homelessness, where the average age of death is 46 for men and 42 for women. Streets of Change commissioned by West Northamptonshire Council launched in May 2024. The project has toured widely extensively since gaining great interest and traction helped by being featured on the BBC.
_Musician Callum Beattie after experiencing Streets of Change VR says “this should be seen in schools all over the UK”._
Significant screenings/events where Streets of Change was showcased were Local Government Association conference; International Network of Street Papers, and Merged Futures, Northampton where it won an award for Innovative Use of Technology. It featured at film festivals from Bolton UK to Pittsburgh US. A highlight of the project was when a local homeless charity and voluntary group invested in VR headsets as they saw the power of the project for breaking stereotypes, raising awareness and helping with fundraising.
## **"** _**Staggeringly brilliant and an important insight into rough sleeping, this is a VR film everyone should see."**_ **- Sarah Blitz, International Network of Street Papers**
**Powering Up** a project devised by Dr Guddi Singh a renowned writer, broadcaster and paediatrician, addressing health inequalities and exploring barriers faced by young people, engaging with young people and clinicians to co-produce solutions _. https://onetoonedevelopment.org/portfolio/poweringup/_
One to One joined the partnership as Creative Lead and worked closely on creating three films with young people in Wakefield, Birmingham and London – all areas of poverty and deprivation. In addition to the films, we produced an interactive Zine ( _https://go.onetoonedevelopment.org/zine_ ) and developed the branding and merch for the project.
Powering Up has received great interest including being featured several times in the international magazine for Paediatrics ‘Milestone’ and being a finalist as _Best National Pilot Project_ in the prestigious HSJ Patient Safety Awards, with a ceremony in Manchester.
The Horbury Tapestry - Working closely with our local communities is important, We started the year working with the Friends of Horbury Library on a digital preservation project of their local tapestry, we trained the group in new ways of digital preservation and helped them bring their tapestry project to audiences round the world. _https://horburytapestry.co.uk/_

Working closely with artists and supporting them in their creative practice is also important to us, and January brought a new project with previous collaborator Clare Currie, on her new one woman show Cold Snap exploring mental health and resilience.
Throughout the year we have embraced opportunities to showcase our work at relevant events taking part in several strategic conversations across the cultural and digital sectors about the intersection of arts, heritage, health and technology reinforcing our role as a respected voice for inclusive creative practice in film, games and XR technologies.
CEO, Judi Alston was a panellist at Develop–Brighton, Europe’s biggest conference and expo for game developers where she presented to a large audience about ‘ _Tips and Insights on Narrative Design from Leading Writers_ ’. Later in the year Judi presented at the New Creative Technologies Day, Sheffield organised by Game Republic on ‘ _Using technology to tell stories for social change_ ’ to an audience of over 200 attendees. These opportunities have been useful as platforms for showing our work to potential new funders or collaborators, as well as engaging with young people new to the industry who we aim to support.
_Judi presenting in Sheffield_
We were delighted that our work was recognised at GaMaYo largest ever games development event held at WX Wakefield where we were awarded a _Special Commendation_ in the Community Player Award. This accolade was really important to our team in recognising our work in supporting young people in the industry.

Later in the year, members of our young team supported by a Board Member and volunteer facilitated a stall at another games conference also held at WX in Wakefield. This was a great opportunity for members of our team, a volunteer and board member who wouldn’t normally run an event like this, to come together, take the lead and demo our latest work to over 1,000 visitors over the weekend. It was very successful, and a model we hope to replicate again.
Our team and Board all game together in November at Aesthetica Film Festival to celebrate two games made with young people, Our Earth Your Choice and Play Your Way into Production being selected for the festival Games Lab, in addition our significant VR film Streets of Change about street homelessness was showcased in the VR Lab.
_An important team day out at Aesthetica Film Festival_
Judi spoke on a panel at the festival which led to an invitation and bursary from Carnegie Mellon University to take Streets of Change to the Sona Immersive Storytelling Festival in Pittsburgh, US in March 2025. Digital Director Andy Campbell and CEO Judi Alston made the trip, delivered a presentation at the Festival and won the **Award for Social Impact in Immersive Storytelling** for Streets of Change. A great link was made for potential international collaboration particularly around the heritage of the coal and steel industries. Something we will pursue in 2025/26.
Started in 2023-2024, Revealed – Pit Camp a VR experience commemorating the 1984/85 Miners Strike and the changing coalfield communities has continued to engage intergenerational audiences throughout the year. Bringing people together celebrating and exploring their local heritage is key to our aims. We were delighted to be awarded funding from Wakefield Council to develop the project further into a large scale projection work. Revealed – Triptych which included film, graphics, augmented reality and a new game called Rollerbird. Revealed - Triptych was part of the celebrations of Wakefield’s newest cultural building WX and ran for three weeks gaining the attention of over 26,623 visitors. ( _figures supplied by Wakefield Council_ ).
_Revealed – Triptych at WX Wakefield_
Our latest projects: Roman Castleford Uncovered - working closely with community groups and the museum to digitally reinterpret Castleford’s Roman heritage, and following the very successful Streets of Change film, we have begun a new project with Change Grow Live working with people who have been in the depths of addiction and are now on a journey of recovery. We look forward to working on these projects in the new financial year, drawing on what we have learnt over the year and being open to new possibilities.
As well as delivering projects, we have also been updating our policies and streamlining internal workflows especially for reporting. We hope that these new systems will pave the way for more effective ways of working in 2025/2026. We have also sought specialist advice in fundraising and marketing.
The challenges of fundraising are still very real in our sector, we hope that with careful management, we can continue to steer through the issues that are faced by all small charities without ongoing guaranteed financial support.
