TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AS AT 31 JULY 2020

INCLUSION VENTURES LIMITED

The background of the Board of Trustees

There has been no change to the Board of Trustees during this financial year, which has helped to helped to maintain a stable management structure.

Our purpose and Aims

The ethos we work from remains, “Turning Exclusion into Inclusion”. The four main themes of IV remain:

Education/Employment – this element of our work continues to be an area of development and a vision that IV can increase the opportunities available to children and young people that we serve during a time when there are limited services to fully meet their needs. Through a range of partnership working, events and activities, IV intends to widen the YP’s experiences to create pathways and aspirations to lead them into living fulfilling lives. Where the benefits of education and working are appreciated and valued, especially when the mainstream systems have not always been able to provide the right stimulus to develop the individual fully. IV intends to facilitate the YP to recognise their potential and support them to achieve their desired outcomes.

Very recently, one YP has secured permanent employment, having undertaken 4 previous work experience placement through the Unity Enterprise’s Experience Labs, in which IV supported the YP to travel to and by attending the awards events. IV has also supplied a bike to this YP so that they are able to travel independently to work. This particular example of partnership working and facilitating a YP to attend a work placement and activity brings our vision to life.

Additionally, IV secured funding for 12 YP (aged 14 to 16 year olds) to attend a week long Firebreaks course at the Clacton Fire Station, developing some key transferrable skills that can be further developed for eventual employment.

Physical Health – encouraging the YP we serve continues to be a challenge, as they do not always appreciate the benefits of physical activity to their general health and wellbeing. IV promotes health eating and physical activity and has been fortunate to secure funding from Active Essex to increase the number of activities provided with the introduction of a new role to the team, a Sports and Outdoor Activities Lead. New sports and activities have been introduced to the existing delivery. It was necessary for the Team to adapt how activities we delivered due to the Covid-19 pandemic striking in March 2020. Whilst many organisations diverted their working to online activities, trying to “Get the Nation Moving”, we were very aware that many of the YP we work with have limited or no regular Internet access.

Therefore, it was decided that we could provide 1:1 bike rides, following the Government guidelines, in order to encourage the YP to undertake regular exercise with our trusted members of staff. This was particularly important to not only ensure their physical health was being maintained but also their overall wellbeing was being monitored, as we are aware that a high percentage of our YP are living in homes where domestic violence is prevalent and there is general neglect for their welfare.

As lockdown was lifted, we have been able to run outdoor sessions, during which the YP have been able to exercise safely and they have been provided with healthy drinks and snacks. It has been unfortunate that we have not been able to take groups on outdoor adventures, on planned residential trips, due to the pandemic, but these will take place in the coming months. They will become an important opportunity for YP to experience personal and physical challenges and will develop a wide knowledge and understanding of the world beyond their immediate localities.

Funding has also been gained to provide small groups of YP to participate in swimming lessons, a life skill which is particularly relevant given our location by the Sea.

Emotional Resilience – there continues to be strong, supportive relationships formed between the YP and Team IV, which creates a safe environment for YP to explore their emotions and feelings with trusted members of the Team. From this foundation a number of strands of support are offered, including identifying a key worker, 1:1 mentoring and individual therapy. Again, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has meant that the work we undertake has needed to be modified or adapted to ensure the best safe practice for all concerned.

We have planned a number of additional elements to this work, including small group sessions lead by the therapists to offer support in coming to terms with the impact pandemic has had on the YP and their families. This work will be funded by the 3 year grant awarded by BBC Children in Need.

Community Cohesion – throughout the year IV has increased its partnership working with organisations that equally seek to support the communities we work with. These organisations stem from statutory, voluntary and community based sectors, all sharing the same aims, to work with the communities to meet their needs and to provide new and exciting opportunities for the residence.

On completion of the purchase and refurbishment of our own premises in Jaywick, we anticipate that we will be able to support and host more events that will further enhance the integration of various elements of the community. It will be a base for other organisations to work from, improving accessibility for those who require their services in their own neighbourhood.

The Work of Inclusion Ventures

Relationships with other organisations continue to be strengthened in order to meet and deliver our key objectives. The Team is being constantly developed and strengthened with the addition of a few key roles; a Child and Family Worker and a Sports and Outdoor Activities Lead have been the latest recruits. Providing staff with opportunities to develop their existing skills not only gives them the chance to enhance themselves as individuals but also to bring knowledge and understanding of what IV can offer those we serve.

The Activities and Services that Inclusion Ventures offer are free at the point of delivery for all the young people, but to develop a sense of value, voluntary contributions are requested. The following activities were being provided prior to the Covid-19 situation arising:

The Activities and Services that Inclusion Ventures offer are free at the point of delivery for all the young people, but to develop a sense of value, voluntary contributions are requested. The following activities are provided:

Weekly drop-in sessions – 15 sessions held in a number of venues in the areas that IV serves for 7 to 19 year olds, generally spilt into 2 distinct age groups. We continuously monitor the sessions to maintain harmonious group dynamics.

INCLUSION VENTURES LIMITED

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AS AT 31 JULY 2020

Each session aims to deliver 4 elements

This is an area that has been proved to be much need and valued by the yp, with staff offering the opportunity, during the most challenging of times (Covid-19 lockdown), the chance for yp to speak openly about their feelings of isolation and fear of not knowing how to respond. It has also increased the strength of the messages being conveyed to the public regarding safe behaviour during unsure times.

• Catering for YP – in a number of sessions YP are shown how to cook a variety of healthy, nutritious meals and are provided with the recipes posted on Facebook each week to share with their family.

During Covid-19 we prepared a few healthy snacks in our Base and took them along to provisessions for the yp to enjoy and taste. All drinks and snack had to be provided in disposable cups and bowls to meet the Governments guidelines but this is adds to the financial cost and impact on the environment. We shall always look at ways to minimise both and encourage the yp to recycle and reuse once it is considered safe to do so.

• Community Café – we continue with our twice weekly, free-of-charge, café for the Jaywick community’s senior residents. This provides them with a hot meal produced on site by our staff, alongside any YP who is on work placement. It facilitates inclusion and cohesion between the generations, working to reduce isolation amongst this vulnerable age group.

Covid prevented this from continuing safely from mid-March 2020 but will be reinstated as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.

Unfortunately due to pandemic this year’s summer programme has been greatly reduced but it will remain an important part of our delivery plan in the future for all school breaks.

• Bike Kitchens – weekly sessions based in both Clacton and Jaywick have proved to be highly successful in teaching and empowering YP to repair their own bikes and those of other family members. From March to October IV staff, who have completed the Bile Leaders training, take YP on a bike ride every Saturday, providing an additional opportunity to undertake some physical recreation and gain road safety awareness. It provides children with independence. We have been delighted to have received the major part of the funding needed Colchester Catalyst, along with 3 other funders, to purchase a Trishaw. A power assisted trike in reverse which has a seat at the front. IV bike kitchen volunteer, and principal lead, has developed a link with a Jaywick based dementia home and has organised a weekly outing for one of the residents to be cycled along the seafront, to “feel the wind in their hair”, on occasions cycled by a YP. Another opportunity for inter-generational links and community cohesion.

• Outreach – there has been a need, particularly during the pandemic, to increase the levels of outreach, with staff positioned on the streets of the localities to catch up with YP known to IV and the communities at large, to enquire as to their wellbeing and to gauge the need for any intervention or referral to another organisation.

• Staff training and development – the work undertaken by IV is both difficult and challenging, we therefore try to equip staff with the skills necessary to do the job. The following is a list of training opportunities made available to staff over the past year;

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AS AT 31 JULY 2020

Overview of the year

It was hoped that IV would be able to report that it has purchased and developed its own premises but this has been delayed by several factors, including the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, it is with confidence that we can say that we expect to have our own premises in Jaywick during this coming financial year, with funds having already been secured from a few key funding streams.

With the security of sufficient funding, we have been able to have another stable year, providing a springboard for the coming year in which we will be better placed to instigate some key areas of development.

Financial Review:

The Deputy Project Director is also responsible for overseeing and managing the financial aspect of the organisation. This facilitates monitoring, forward planning and reporting of the financial status of the charity at any given time, supporting the decision making process when deciding on activities to be offered within the whole organisation.

Restricted funding requires additional reporting to be undertaken and provided to individual funders. Where an underspend is incurred, a proposal is made to the funder to utilise the surplus money in a creative way in order to fulfil the restrictions of the initial funding proposal and to increase the delivery offer for our beneficiaries.

Reserves Policy and Risk Management:

The current Reserve Fund is £30000, which has been set aside through unrestricted funding. However, the end of year balance remains well above the desired reserve figure.

The Annual Accounts are checked and verified by Community 360 accountants and are made available for public viewing through both the Charities Commission and Companies House.

Key Risks:

Staff recruitment will be based on explicit terms of employment and/or contract, linked to relevant funding, thus reducing the risk of redundancy costs. However, this will be moderated by ongoing funding bids to secure further funding for successful projects. The use of premises, for sessions and for administration purposes, continues to be a source of financial concern and to overcome this IV would ideally like to secure more permanent bases in both of the locations it serves. In doing so greater flexibility can be achieved, allowing us to respond to the needs of our beneficiaries as and when it is necessary. IV is constantly endeavouring to respond to the requests made by the beneficiaries, through the youth forums and during regular sessions, to offer a service that is both proactive and reactive.

INCLUSION VENTURES LIMITED

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AS AT 31 JULY 2020

Low staffing levels have meant that, when there are periods of sickness, all staff are called upon to ensure sessions are not under-staffed. As a consequence, staff wages fluctuate to meet the demand. Inclusion Ventures is an employer which strives to maintain the well-being of its staff team, including volunteers. The Sick Pay Policy has been reviewed by Trustees and has been increased to help provide peace of mind when staff are absent from work due to illness or injury. Due to the nature of our work, supporting some vulnerable children, young people and their families, it is important that staff are fit for work, physically, emotional and mentally. IV further supports its staff by working collaboratively with the team to adjust work patterns and be flexible to meet any requests, where it is practicable to do so.

IV is at present trying to develop a similar positive relationship with our local social care agency as we have established with the police. This is in response to an increased need to report our safeguarding issues to social care.

Future Plans:

Delays in securing our own property, coupled with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, have meant many of the plans we had made for this last financial year have had to be put on hold, whilst we adapt our normal work practices to meet the Government guidelines.

However, we envisaged that the purchase and start of the refurbishment will not be too long away. A number of exciting trips will run as soon as it is safe to do so.

All that was included in last year’s report remains in our plans

DECLARATIONS:

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the Inclusion Ventures for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and UK Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the 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; state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Cash flow

The financial statements do not include a cash flow statement because the charity, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under Financial Reporting Standard 1 "Cash flow statements".

1.2 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor, or contained in the terms of a grant.

1.3 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:-

Voluntary income is received by way of grants and donations and is included in full when receivable. Unrestricted grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the Charity, are recognised when the Charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Restricted grants are recognised on receipt. Gift Aid recoveries on donations from individuals are recognised in the same period as the donation.

Any donated services and facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers (including the Directors) has not been included in these financial statements.

Client contributions and investment income are included when received.

1.4 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes non-recoverable VAT, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them and attract funding to sustain them. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirement of the Charitable Company. This includes the preparation and examination of this annual report and financial statements, and a small portion of staff time on the strategic focus of the Company and servicing Directors meetings.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided by the Company to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets by equal installments over their expected useful lives, as follows:-

Furniture and fittings 15% of cost p.a. Computer equipment 25% of cost p.a.

1.7 Taxation

The Company is a Charity within the meaning of section 506(1) of the Taxes Act 1988. Accordingly it is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received within categories covered by section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied to exclusively Charitable purposes.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

I report on the accounts of Inclusion Ventures Limited for the year ended 31st July 2020 which are set out on pages 8 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed. The charities gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Association of Accounting Technicians.

It is my responsibility to:

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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.
