SWINDON MENTORING AND SELF HELP YOUTH PROJECT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
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 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
A message from our Chair
Well, what a year it has been for SMASH and for all charities out there that are making their way through a new landscape post COVID. It has been a challenge to say the least, but one that I think we have risen to with huge grit and determination.
The team kept things going in a virtual world throughout the pandemic and managed to provide a fantastic service for the children, young people and their families of Swindon in those difficult times. Really not easy when our only contact was mostly via zoom. All credit to the team for adapting to this virtual world so admirably.
We said goodbye to some staff and hello to others, and now have a great composite of experienced and enthusiastic people who are helping us to make our way through a renewed period of sustainability and growth, under the leadership of our new CEO Andy Malcolm. Welcome on board Andy. We have developed and extended our partnerships with statutory services in Swindon, to the mutual benefit of us all. I would like to thank both Swindon Borough Council and the Office of the Police Commission for continuing to offer their support, and for including SMASH in their offer to children, young people and families. We also have the support of Building Bridges, Midcounties Co-op and Wiltshire Community Foundation, so a big huge thankyou to all our supportive partners, we couldn’t do it without you.
Having worked with children and young people throughout my career I know first-hand some of the challenges that they and their families have had and continue to face. And now with the rising cost of living, and fuel prices soaring we are witnessing even more complex problems and unprecedented challenge to families struggling to make ends meet. Unbelievably, child poverty is a real time problem, and one that we all need to acknowledge will adversely affect our children and young people and their life aspirations. How can it not?
As a charity, we can’t fix all these economic problems, but we can offer a listening ear and help and guidance to those children and young people who are struggling with emotional issues. We can also reach out to other charities in the sector in order to pool resources and offer more comprehensive solutions. Our professional mentoring is the basis of this solution focus, and to achieve this we ensure that we have well trained staff who can meet with and support our families on a regular basis. Our team are clinically supervised so that they have the opportunity to explore new approaches to helping our children and young people, but also are able to express their own individual concerns, through the medium of this supervision. I cannot praise them enough for the work that they do. They are amazing.
For now, we have suspended our volunteering programme, but are exploring new ways and opportunities to reintroduce volunteers in a safe and professional manner, so bear with us as we look to take this forward into the future. The team have lots of ides!!
Behind the scenes I have a fantastic team of Trustees who have helped to shape our strategy and ensure that the charity is fit for purpose. We sat and had fish and chips with the new team recently, which was a great opportunity to get to know each other face to face. All of the team have a Trustee buddy who they can speak to if they have any concerns or wish to raise any issues that concern them. Thankyou Trustees for your continued hard work and support. You are the engine that keeps us driving on.
For all of our supporters that continue to offer help and raise funds, we are very, very grateful. We don’t always know who you are but be assured we value your kindness and because of you, we can look to the future with renewed enthusiasm. For us at SMASH it’s about the children and young people and the help that we can provide, and its all of you that I have mentioned in this narrative that make this possible. So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, you are all champions.

SWINDON MENTORING AND SELF HELP YOUTH PROJECT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Objects and Activities
The objects for which the Charity is established are:
- The advancement of the education of children, young people and adults in the Swindon Borough Council and surrounding area through advice, counselling and mentoring in association with schools, colleges, other educational establishments, and the local community so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and that their conditions of life may be improved. 2. To provide relief by offering support and advice to parents/carers of such persons.
Public Benefit
In continuing to deliver our Strategic Plan and activities, the Board of Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard for public benefit. In particular, the Board of Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives they have set.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of Swindon Mentoring and Self Help Youth Project for the purposes of Company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires that the Board of Trustees must not approve financial statements for the financial year unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable Company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable Company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
All the current Trustees have taken all reasonable steps, which, to the best of their knowledge and belief they ought to have taken, to make themselves aware of any information needed by the Charity’s Independent Examiner for the purpose of completing the accounts and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information. The Trustees are not aware of any information which they understand would be relevant of which the Independent Examiner is unaware.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Vision
Our vision is for a society where young people’s struggles with their wellbeing are rare, brief and not repeated.
Mission
We work with young people to ensure they get the support they need, when they need it, without judgment.
Values
These values inform everything we do at Smash, guiding our decision making and justifying our approach:
-
x We put you first
-
x Caring is our motivation
-
x We’re generously collaborative
-
x We speak up when things aren’t right
How we work
-
x We work with young people aged 9-19 years old who experiencing difficulties with their wellbeing
-
x We provide one to one and group mentoring over a 12-week period, providing a safe, nurturing space and practical advice and guidance
-
x We are based in Swindon, rooted in the town and an integral part of the community
-
x We take a tailored, structured, holistic approach to move young people from crisis to independence
-
x We work with local partners, combine resources and expertise to provide multi-disciplinary support that reduces young people’s recurring dependence on services
-
x We are a small team of passionate and committed staff and volunteers; we pride ourselves on changing young people’s lives for the better
-
x We are an independent organisation, entirely dependent on voluntary funding
We have three main strands to our work:
-
x Wellbeing Mentoring Project – to support young people with emerging concerns with their holisitic wellbeing through early intervention mentoring and support.
-
x NEET Mentoring Project – to support young people currently not in education, employment or training, or at risk of becoming so, through one-to-one mentoring, advice, guidance and support.
-
x ATLAS Group Mentoring Project – to support young people with emerging or established concerns with their wellbeing through peer to peer facilitated support groups offering community, support and guidance.
Strategic objectives
In 2021-22, we continued with our five-year strategic plan for 2017-2021. This identified four strategic priorities:
-
x Continue to deliver and develop our mentoring
-
x Develop Sustainable funding
-
x Improve our marketing
-
x Develop our roles, responsibilities and reporting
Achievements and Performance
53 young people struggling with their wellbeing accessed our services in 2021-22
100% were new to our service and we saw a significant increase in young people with complex needs, with around 25% now reaching the threshold for CaMHs and TaMHs intervention. Feedback from these young people confirms that we are providing vital practical and emotional support to young people with nowhere else to turn.
Staff provided advice, support, signposting and referrals to other specialist agencies during the year. Agencies include STEP Swindon, Iprovfit, and many others.
We undertook some significant recruitment, filling 5 positions, including recruiting a new CEO in November 2021. These new roles will see a significant uplift in the number of young people accessing our service in 2022-23.

SWINDON MENTORING AND SELF HELP YOUTH PROJECT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
This year 9 young people we worked with moved into secure education, employment or training outcomes. Our team helped them find work or education through partnerships with the Council and other providers. This is one of the most important steps for a young person and yet one of the most challenging, often due to low confidence, lack of opportunities for work experience and a decreasing number of entry level job roles in Swindon.
Volunteers
We continue to have paused our volunteer mentoring offer, with a review planned for early in the next financial year to discern how we utilise volunteering in our service offer most effectively going forward. We hope that our volunteers can continue to bring valuable skills and energy to our service, with their rich life experience enabling us to support young people in a greater range of ways.
All volunteers are recruited through an application form and interview, with reference checks and Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) checks before commencement of their role.
Structure, Governance and Management
Commencement of Activities
Swindon Mentoring and Self Help Youth Project was established by constitution dated 1 July 1999 and registered on 02 February 2005 with the Charities Commission. On 31 December 2002, a Company limited by guarantee was incorporated with the same name as the Charity.
Governing Document
Swindon Mentoring and Self Help Youth Project is a Company limited by guarantee (04626164) and a registered Charity (1107900). It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, revised in 2005 and 2019. The members of the Company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the Company being wound up, the liability in respect of guarantee is £1 per member.
Method and Appointment of Trustees
The management of the Board of Trustees is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. All Trustees are provided with training and the Charity complies with the Code of Good Governance.
Unless specific skills are headhunted using existing networks, vacancies for Trustees are publicly advertised on the website and via local online channels. The advertisement contains information about the role and skills and qualities required. The application pack includes information about the organisation, a job description and a person specification.
Applications are reviewed by the board, including the CEO. Interviews for prospective Trustees are conducted by the Chair, CEO and one other trustee. All new Trustees are required to sign a declaration that they are not disqualified from acting as a Director/Trustee and that they will devote the necessary time and effort in their position. Disclosure and Barring Service checks are carried out on all new Trustees before appointment.
Induction and Training of Trustees
Following a review of our induction process, all newly appointed Trustees will receive a comprehensive information pack upon starting containing a copy of the governing document, previous Board of Trustees and Committee minutes, a copy of the three-year strategy, operational plans and fundraising strategy, the latest management accounts, and staff structure. New Trustees are also encouraged to spend time with the staff team, observing front-line delivery where possible.
All Trustees will be provided with ongoing training and information to keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date and relevant.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Organisational Structure and Decision Making
The Board of Trustees meets monthly. The CEO is appointed by Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the Charity and to implement the Charity’s strategic plan.
The day-to-day running of the Charity and leadership of the staff team is delegated to the CEO. The CEO meets for regular supervision sessions with the chair and is accountable to the Board of Trustees for the performance of agreed strategic implementation plans.
The remuneration of the CEO is set by the Board of Trustees, with the remuneration of other staff being advised by the CEO. The board annually review staff salaries for cost of living increases. An independent HR service is utilised to conduct a thorough salary benchmarking exercise with comparable organisations locally when significant changes to staff roles take place.
Swindon Mentoring and Self Help Youth Project is committed to attracting, recruiting and training experienced, professional staff who will deliver the best outcomes for young people.
Delivery of Swindon Mentoring and Self Help Youth Project’s charitable vision and strategic plan is primarily dependent on our key management personnel and staff costs are the largest single element of our charitable expenditure.
Risk Management
The Board of Trustees has a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed. To undertake this duty, we maintain a risk register, which is overseen by the senior staff and board. The board will start to review this risk register quarterly and make adjustments as needed, communicating any actions required to those involved. Our principal risks, at the end of the year, are summarised below:
-
x Funding:
-
Unable to demonstrate outcomes to funders including demonstrating the ‘added value’
-
Reliance on EU funding with residual Brexit uncertainty
-
Staff capacity running to standstill in fundraising and lacking capacity to innovate
-
x Compliance:
-
Not complying with Charity regulations
-
Not complying with GDPR
-
Not complying with health and safety
-
Not complying with Safeguarding duties (adults and children and young people)
-
Lapse in insurance
-
x External:
-
Funding cuts in partner agencies, particularly local authority funding
-
Lack of leadership / change in stance of partner organisations
-
Additional restrictions arising from Covid or similar pandemic
-
Building failure
-
Fraud or criminal acts
-
IT security breach (hacking, DDOS attack, ransomware etc)
-
x Finance and fundraising:
-
Outcome reporting challenges
-
Compassion fatigue
-
Capacity in the team

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
x Operations and staffing:
-
Demand outstrips supply
-
Service unable to meet the complex needs of the client group
-
Serious incidents endangering staff, clients, property and reputation
-
Pandemic prevents service operating
-
Building failure prevents the service from running
-
Not being able to recruit staff / volunteers
-
Safeguarding procedures not robustly followed for our volunteers
Since the last reporting period, we have adopted a more detailed risk register format and strengthened the link between the register and the main board. We now focus more on identifying root causes, robust mitigation measures and appropriate responses.
Financial Review
For 2021 the board of Trustees agreed an operational expenditure budget of £150,000.
The Pandemic continued to affect aspects of the delivery of our operations and like most organisations we needed to make adaptations to how we worked and delivered services. This resulted in some expenditure being delayed due to staff turnover and the recruitment of a new CEO. We incurred small operational losses on unrestricted income of £13,215 and on restricted income of £2,624, and at year end held £90,349 of total unrestricted funds (including designated funds) and a total of £42,952 in restricted funds.
Fundraising Review
Fundraising in 2021 took a bit of a back seat as we focussed on staffing and reenergising our projects. The recruitment of a new CEO will lead to an increase in fundraising activity into the next financial year, but income this year continued to be dominated by our two main funding streams – our partnership with Building Bridges and Swindon Borough Council.
We are also very grateful for the income secured through our existing Trusts, Foundations and business relationships, some of whom kindly pledged further support to help us through this difficult time. We give our warmest thanks to the Mid-counties Co-op team, Wiltshire Community Foundation and Children in Need.
We express our sincere appreciation to every single person who supported us with monthly giving or one-off donations; those who gave in memory of a loved one or pledged a legacy, and to all the community organisations and companies who generously raised vital funds to ensure that we could continue our life-changing work with young people.
Reserves Policy
At the end of the financial year, The Board of Trustees has agreed an amendment to the reserves policy which makes provision for Unrestricted General Reserves to be held in within an operating window of 3-6 months of core operating costs, with a further £20,000 designated to cover future closure and related costs. This is considered an appropriate sum.
As at the end of the 2021 financial year, the Board of Trustees have included all the year-end designations and general fund in its assessment of the adequacy of the overall reserves to maintain operations. The Board of Trustees regularly monitors the adequacy of funds.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Investment Policy
The Board of Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of the Charity and to the reserves policy, has agreed an investment policy which keeps available funds in current and interest bearing accounts with total balances with each financial institution no greater than that covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) limit. The exception to this being the Charity’s main operational clearing bank where funds up to a total of £200,000 may be retained subject to tiered maturity profiles.
