TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
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 31st March 20 21 . 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 201 9 ).
Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The Objects for which the Company is established are to promote social regeneration by providing relief , in particular but not exclusively to , children, young people and their families who are resident or employed across the Humber Sub-Region who have need because of age, mental or physical disability, poverty or addiction. In particular, but not so as to limit the generality of the foregoing to provide combinations of early years education, play work, youth work, community sports, family support and health advice, learning and employment services.
The vision and beliefs and Key priorities
Our vision is: Communities where children and young people thrive
Our purpose is: To create environments and deliver activities that enable children and young people to identify and realise both their aspirations and their potential.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Our main activities are described below and focus on the objectives for which Child Dynamix was created in 2005 including changes to these objectives in 2014. The services provided to children, young people and their families are for the most part free and all are open and accessible to all. Where there are fees to be charged there are opportunities for those unable to afford these fees to access the service via other funding streams i.e. local authority/social services, two-year-old funding and early year's education grants . I n addition to this the charity now receives pupil premium for children in need within its Childcare settings. The trustees considered the Charity Commission ' s guidance on Public benefit when planning and developing the charit y's activities at all of its meetings. For specific activities , funding is sought in partnership with the young person or group to enable them to achieve their aspirations. The Corporate Social Responsibility policy is embedded across the charity, this explains the way in which the charity supports other small community organisations, and takes a responsible approach to the environment.

Achievements and performance
Who used and benefited from our services:
Community Day Nurseries:
We have three day nurseries, two in East Hull (CDCN Preston Road and CDCN Savoy Road) and one in West Hull (CDCN Boulevard). Our day nurseries are engaging and stimulating learning environments for the children who attend. They play a key role in supporting families to access employment and learning opportunities.
2020 saw the beginning of significant challenges brought by Covid19 to our youngest children and their families. Our nurseries played a critical part in supporting key workers to continue to work and support vulnerable children in incredibly challenging times.
Childcare received national focus as the need for quality, flexible childcare was a critical factor in the national and local effort. During April to July 2020 only vulnerable children and children of key workers were entitled to attend nursery settings. Across the three nurseries, 230 key worker families including 236 children were entitled to access their nursery in the first lockdown. 42% used our settings. Our teams worked tirelessly to provide a safe environment and minimise the impact that restrictions had on the children. Members of staff went beyond providing ‘typical’ childcare to ensure children and their families had the support they needed. Funding from the National Lottery allowed us to transfer two nursery workers into family support roles. This was a critical change to support families to access foodbanks, food parcels and activity packs. When children did not attend, additional ‘welfare’ checks were made to ensure children and their families remained connected to their nursery and for staff to offer additional help where necessary.
Throughout this period, the nursery teams continued to monitor children’s learning and development to ensure we minimised the impact of restrictions upon their outcomes. Analysis in October 2020 demonstrated that many children were not at age related expectations for learning and development. Many had been absent from their nursery for much of the year. With close observation, and implementation of an exciting and appropriate curriculum, alongside more consistent attendance, this is improving.
Across April 2020 – March 2021, there were 366 children on roll, with 14% of those children identified as having an additional need or disability. We supported 31 families to access 30-hour funding enabling them to access childcare to meet their needs.

Community services and activities: (children, young people and families)
Over the course of the year Child Dynamix staff and volunteers have worked with 1989 children and young people and 880 adults/carers in communities across Hull. We support our beneficiaries through:
-
Little Stars Children’s centre sits in the Early Help provision within the city of Hull. The team provides family support and a range of services for local families including parenting support, understanding children’s behaviour with courses to help with parenting, child safety, infant feeding, budgeting, cooking and providing healthy meals, accessing early education funded nursery places and promotes parents' understanding of early childhood development. In this team we have a member of staff dedicated to supporting expectant mothers and their families until the baby is 18 months. Throughout the pandemic and national restrictions, the team has continued to provide all services to children and their families. They have taken some novel approaches, including online stay and play sessions and garden visits. They adapted their ways of working to ensure continuous support to parents to enable them to make the changes needed to improve outcomes for their children. The team approach of working closely with other professionals was a real strength in tackling the challenges that Covid brought. Their connections with Woodland School to joint-visit local families and conduct welfare checks was a strong local piece of work. The team is now responding to unprecedented numbers of referrals and requests for support as families continue to feel the impact of Covid on their lives.
-
Our Parent Mentor service, part of HeadStart Hull, is housed in our Boulevard setting and supports families across the city. With training and support, the service enables parents with children aged 10 – 16 years to support other parents. This has brought many benefits to both the Mentor and parent; support predominantly focusses on the emotional health and well-being of their young person. Over the year this team has worked with a reduced number of volunteers as the volunteer has had to prioritise the needs of their own family, particularly when children were home-schooled. The team has found that in some cases parents have been reluctant to have their case closed, because they feel the long-term pressure of Covid upon their family and, especially, young person. The team has delivered online parenting courses and used virtual and telephone support alongside garden visits to ensure they remain connected to those in need.
-
From The Hut Youth Centre we provide a range of services for the community and young people. The building's fantastic facilities include: a teaching kitchen with rise and fall worktops and accessible cooker, IT suite, dance and craft rooms. The facilities are available through sessions delivered by the team or for use by the community. The teams provide a range of services including one to one support, small group work and larger sessions with as many as 40 young people on a Friday night. The team also works in local community spaces, schools and sport fields to offer the widest variety of activities. Again, the team went to great lengths to ensure it could meet varying needs and stay connected to local children and young people. When schools were closed many young people lost contact with trusted adults and the team members recognised that they needed to work differently to stay connected. As restrictions changed, we were able to rely on outdoor activities to engage and help respond to the increasing demand for support, particularly around emotional health and wellbeing.
Young people
-
Youth Commissioned Work - The youth team continues to deliver our commissioned youth provision across East Hull. The team works from The Hut, Eastmount Recreation Centre, Shelley Avenue and parks and open spaces across the area. Our commissioned partners, Maximum Life Youth Project and St. Stephens Neighbourhood Centre support with the delivery in the Greatfield and Ings communities.
-
Youth in Nature - Youth in Nature is a partnership project with Probe and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. The project focusses on the local environment as well as providing young people with new skills, knowledge and experiences. This is a citywide project, however significant investment has been made in a local area, specifically ‘The Lozenge’, which will be used as an extended delivery space for The Hut team.

Awards
-
Headtstart Hull Mark of Excellence - In April 2020 we received our certificate recognising the work of our HeadStart Hull Parent Peer Mentor service within the broader HeadStart partnership. The HeadStart Hull Mark of Excellence was awarded to the team of staff and volunteers. Catherine Pepper, Community Policy and Practice Officer, Headstart Hull commented:
-
“It has been a pleasure to meet with you and hear your passion for helping parents and families across Hull, and I have been particularly impressed by how you and your staff and volunteers go the extra mile to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable families in the city. Meeting with volunteers and service users gave me a real understanding of how the service can and does transform lives.”
-
Each year our Youth service is independently assessed for the Investors in Children Award. A representative from Investors in Children attends our sessions and talks to children and young people about the opportunities they are able to access and the Voice and Influence they have over the service. The team has been informed that it will receive a special award recognising that it has achieved Investors in Children for 10 consecutive years.
Surveys and feedback
We regularly carry out stakeholder surveys, evaluations and seek feedback to help us understand the impact the charity has had,
“I really, really enjoyed doing the course online. Face to face I would be more withheld and not share my thoughts and ideas. I’ve been talking about doing this course since my daughter had trouble at school with her anxiety because there wasn’t enough time to attend in real life. You have reached out to people who may not have been able to attend” (Volunteer feedback – Mentor Training March 2021)
“The techniques from Talking Teens works with my oldest child. I really enjoyed it on Zoom and I felt so much more confident and felt like I attended because it was online. I was in my own home and felt like I contributed more with not going in a room with people I don’t know. ‘I honestly don’t know what I would do without Child Dynamix, Liz has helped me so much and gets the ball rolling with agencies and gets things done. I tell the police and all my friends to refer to this service” (Volunteer feedback – Mentor Training March 2021)
Our family support service provide a wide range of help including support to expectant mothers and received this feedback: "I had a bit of PND about 6 months after giving birth, the support given by [worker] helped me see it through and made me get the correct help I needed. Offered more help and made sure I was better" (Parent feedback LSCC October 2020)
The support has been amazing. The only way I got through the first baby hurdles was with the support I received. No request that I asked for was I made to feel stupid or pointless or silly. Always met with enthusiasm even when I had none myself to give. I always left feeling much better and understood more and a happier, more confident parent. Thank you (Parent feedback LSCC October 2020)

“the updates I receive whilst he is at nursery are fantastic. I feel he is included in all activities and is exposed to new things” (Nursery parent feedback – February 2021)
“my son is very reserved and doesn’t like going with people other than me and his dad and they give him the time and patience to come out of himself and he now loves going to nursery” (Nursery parent feedback – February 2021)
Volunteering at Child Dynamix
Child Dynamix is the proud holder of the Investor in Volunteering standard, which was successfully renewed in April 2018. As of March 2021, we have 56 volunteers registered with the charity, representing 44% of our workforce. 70% of our volunteers are mentors, this is the largest number we have ever had within one specific service area. In the 12 months to March 2021, volunteers in the charity gave 881 hours of their time. Whilst this is a drop in time given from the previous year, it is representative of the reduced volunteer hours given due to Covid. In many ways, the data masks the significantly increased hours given by our Trustees, also volunteers. They met and engaged regularly as a group or individually with particular members of staff to navigate the various challenges Covid brought to the charity.
Charity events and fundraising
Unfortunately, Covid halted many of the events and fundraising activities that we would normally have. Restrictions meant many were unable to take part, and staff time was prioritised to critical areas of delivery to ensure we met the needs of our beneficiaries. As restrictions change, especially in the coming financial year, we expect to hold events but they are likely to be different from those in our usual events calendar. The Hull Run For All is postponed until 2022 due to Covid and public realm work taking place in the city centre.
Financial review
In comparison to previous years income, taking in to account the impact of Covid 19 on operations, additional funds were sourced to support the central functions of the charity totalling over £140,000. These funds supported core salaries, home working equipment and the costs of adjusting buildings and activities to meet social distancing guidance. The charity saw a loss of income through its childcare provision, events and room hire services and accessed the furlough scheme accordingly as it navigated its way through the financial year and the restrictions imposed. Any surplus made is used to further the charitable activities and or retain services should external causes have a detrimental effect on operations in the future.
Investment policy and objectives
Under the Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish.

Reserves policy
Child Dynamix reserves following our twelfth year of operations stand at £ 827,019.
Of this figure £775,346 are unrestricted reserves and £51,673 are restricted reserves. A breakdown of the £51,673 restricted fund balances carried forward is shown in note 18 on page 32.
The Trustees of Child Dynamix aim to secure a minimum cash reserve of £230,000 which represents 17% of the Charit y's average turnover (10 years). Close monitoring of the reserves is essential in helping us meet the demands of our strategic plan over the next three to five years. The target reserves amount of £230,000 has been calculated based on continuity planning taking account of the Charit y's liabilities. This reserve also provides the Charity's cash flow.
First and foremost, the Charity needs reserves to provide working capital to support its day to day operations, which is vital when waiting for invoices to be paid. Some contracts can be paid in arrears leaving the Charity to cover general revenue costs for up to two months. Furthermore, many new funding streams are issued on a payment by results basis, which might split funding by as much as 50% which also then requires the Charity to hold funds to cover the full costs until final payment is made. The Trustees would also consider proposals from the Charity's Officers to create seed funding for development of new vital services, and finally the Trustees may be asked to consider extending individuals or team contracts for interim periods of no more than 3 months to bridge gaps where new funding has been secured but a gap is created between funding streams.
The Trustees have provision for the appointment of a Finance Trustee who, under the Articles of Association (reviewed 2014) has responsibility for monitoring and reviewing the agreed steps the charity has taken to establish and or maintain the reserves and for any proposals for using reserves. The responsibility, should the Charity face closure, will impact on the whole Trustee group, including the Finance Trustee, who would work with the Chief Executive Officer and senior leadership team.
The level of reserves set by the Trustees (see above) where possible, are grown through our Social Enterprise activities, which have three to five year financial plans. The reserves development and maintenance forms part of the general management accounting the Charity carries out, which takes place weekly, monthly and quarterly at differing levels. The Head of Finance and Human Resources creates actual to projected reports on a quarterly basis to the Finance committee and then on to the Board.

Future plans
Child Dynamix knows that to enable children and young people to thrive we need to support the whole family unit. Our themes of work: early years and childcare, family support and services for children and young people offer both universal and targeted support. Levels and intensity of support differ depending on the presenting needs, but we recognise the many strengths children, young people and their families have. We see these as a positive starting point to enable people to make long-lasting change with support from our staff and volunteers.
As we enter a new financial year, we will see how many of the restrictions that have dominated 2020 are lifted and further expose the impact they have had on our communities. We are already seeing high levels of referrals coming into our services and recognise our plans must tackle the issues our beneficiaries are presenting. These include emotional and mental health, domestic violence, missed learning opportunities and unemployment. We know through our own analysis that our youngest children are not at age related expectations, which is a key focus for the coming year.
The next financial year sees the end of our successful Youth in Nature project which will be a significant loss to our service delivery. The project has had strong outcomes for young people with poor mental health and would be a key area of support as we emerge from lockdown. We continue to source funding to continue this area of work.
We also see the recommissioning of our Parent Mentor service and are hopeful that this contract can be retained and extended to children from 5 years. This strong citywide project has wide-ranging outcomes for both parents, mentors and young people.

CHILD DYNAMIX
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees, who are also the directors of Child Dynamix for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities 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 operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.
In so far as the T rustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and - the T rustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILD DYNAMIX
Opinion
We have audited the accounts of Child Dynamix for the year ended 31 March 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activity, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2020 and the charity's surplus or deficit 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
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. 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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve 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 sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILD DYNAMIX
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 contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. O ur 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 th is gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves . 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 our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the directors' report) for the financial year for
-
which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report (incorporating directors' report) has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report (incorporating the directors' report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the s tatement of trustees' r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

CHILD DYNAMIX
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILD DYNAMIX
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 (UK) 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.
Irregularities, including Fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and its management.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), and discussed with the directors and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
-
We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financial statements reporting framework (FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK;
-
We considered the nature of the industry, the control environment and business performance, including the key drivers for management’s remuneration;
-
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit;
-
We considered the procedures and controls that the company has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud; and how senior management monitors those programmes and controls.
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included: testing manual journals; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; performing analytical procedures; and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILD DYNAMIX
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website as: https:// www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-forauditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Child Dynamix is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 95 Preston Road, Hull, East Yorkshire, HU9 3QB, United Kingdom.
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.
1.1 Accounting convention
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 201 9 )', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
Shortly before the end of the previous financial year the UK Government's measures to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic were announced, and these are still ongoing.
The nurseries all had to close for a time during the first UK lockdown, and were operating at reduced capacity for a period ending July 2020. The capacity in the nurseries is now back up to levels recorded before the pandemic.
The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CRJS) has assisted with cash flow, and as time progressed fewer and fewer staff were furloughed. No employees have been furloughed since 31 st March 2021.
The pandemic has changed all aspects of service delivery which Child Dynamix offers but the charitable company was able to deliver throughout the resulting lockdowns, altering services and revising ways of working. This meant staff could continue to support vulnerable children and young people from home, only coming onsite for specific tasks and conducting home/garden visits when safe to do so.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the charitable company has revised cash flows and budgets and extended these for a longer time period. Assumptions used reflect the impact of COVID-19 and analysis on current circumstances.
Based on their forecasts the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to contend with the continuing uncertainties that may arise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charitable company.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charitable company has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Resources expended
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.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings 2% on cost Leasehold land and buildings over the period of the lease Fixtures and fittings 50% on cost, 25% on cost and 20% on cost Motor vehicles 25% on reducing balance

(Continued)
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are measured at cost.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charitable company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10 Financial instruments
The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.13 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
Useful life of fixed assets
The charitable company estimates the useful economic lives of fixed assets based in the expected period of use of the asset in operating the charitable company.
Carrying value of freehold property
The charitable company owns one property and this is stated at cost with depreciation being charged based on the useful economic life of the asset. The trustees review the carrying value of the property on an annual basis, in light of the condition of the property and the operating performance of the nursery.

Sleep Easy - This is a YMCA led annual fundraising event . It takes place during the last weekend in January each year when volunteers sleep rough for one night in makeshift dens and raise funds through sponsorship. Child Dynamix has partnered with YMCA Grimsby for the past 5 years and has received funding that supports young people facing homelessness.

Whats Your Game - We deliver this project as a partner to Sanctuary Housing who secured the funding through Sport England Fami lies Fund. The Community Facilitator works within the Sanctuary Housing area engaging and supporting families and the general community to become more physically active.
Postcode Community Trust - This funding provides community based physical activity classes. Classes include Clubbercise, Parent and Tots Dance and Early Years Gymnastics.
Reaching Communities - This funding allowed us to recruit our ‘Events and Facilities Coordinator’. This role will focus on maximizing income generation for The Hut through room hire and fundraising opportunities.
The National Lottery Coronavirus Community Support - This fund allowed us to purchase equipment for long term working from home arrangements, develop our website and online presence, production of online parenting courses, cycles, part fund salaries in response to increase in demand and core posts at risk. It also allowed us to invest in a web based HR software system and IT equipment. This fund enabled us to adapt our ways of working to continue to meet the needs of our service users at the time and in the future.
Power 2 Change - This fund allowed us to adapt our work spaces to meet covid regulations and guidance. Additional resources were purchased for use in our childcare settings and part funded salaries at risk.
Ernest Cook - Ernest Cook has funded our Green Influencers Project for two years, commencing December 2020. The Green Influencers scheme encourages young people aged 10 – 14 years old across Hull to create meaningful connections with their natural environment and implement long-lasting change in their communities. This project is running across the city in local schools and youth centres, the project creates the opportunity to work with and learn from Green Influencers locally and across the country.
Julia and Hans Rausing Trust - This fund part funded core salaries that were at risk due to reduced trading income for a period of 6 months. The funding has been invaluable to the team being able to make the necessary changes to its operations and having a full complement of core staff to support the wider charity services as it has navigated its way through uncertain times.
