Khulisa Annual Report and Accounts 2023–2024
## **Foreword from the Chair of Trustees** Jean-Marc Morel Po
In the last year, we have seen school exclusions increase to 40 a day, and suspensions have risen to 140,000 a year. So many young people are losing out on their learning and on the chance for an education. This is disproportionately affecting the young people Khulisa work with, who are 32 times more likely to be labelled with a learning or behaviour problem and excluded from school. These young people, who have had traumatic experiences and faced various adversity are being let down by the systems that are set up to support them - at the very time when they need them the most. This is harrowing.
This is why Khulisa has spent the last year really focusing on how we can enhance our impact further.
focus on evaluation. We shared the results of our 2-year schools evaluation study that showed statistically significant changes for the young people in our programme. We also found promising changes related to attendance and engagement in education that we plan to cement and capture more of with our new strategy.
Our new strategy is focussed on developing young people’s social and emotional skills and their educational outcomes and sustaining these for a longer period of time, so that we ensure we don’t lose this generation of young people. We do this because we believe in young people’s right to lead a life filled with choice and opportunity.
We know that to deliver our next ambitious strategy, we need a strong and stable foundation. We are on our way to achieving this, having rebuilt our free-reserves to £258k in the last year. We’ve also increased the skills and expertise on the board, bringing in 3 new trustees with skills and experience in finance, education and marketing & communications.
Alongside strengthening our financial position and building our infrastructure and governance, we’ve also increased our
Over my 7 year tenure at Khulisa - this is what has always struck me about them - their unwavering commitment to learning and to always striving for increased impact and excellence in all that they do. As I finish my term as Chair in November 2024, I look forward to handing over a charity that has grown, professionalised and flourished. Khulisa is a special charity, a charity that has shown determination and grit in times of adversity, that has relentless passion and drive for achieving more for the young people we support. We need Khulisa to be making that transformational difference to young people, and to ensure we don’t lose the next generation. I look forward to continuing to watch Khulisa’s journey unfold, and have complete faith that they will continue to be successful.

Khulisa Annual Report and Accounts 2023–2024
## **Nature of Governing Document**
Khulisa is a limited company by guarantee (06210432), a registered charity
in England and Wales (1120562) and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The charity was incorporated in 2007, having originated in South Africa. The South African charity - Khulisa Social
Solutions - is a separate entity and licences Khulisa (UK) the use of their intellectual property for the purpose of programme delivery. Khulisa (UK) has a unique delivery model, blending therapeutic principles with creative arts in group settings.
## **Organisation**
## **Trustees**
Khulisa has a diverse Board of Trustees who bring a variety of expertise and livedexperience to their voluntary role as Board members. Trustees are appointed for a 3-year term with a limit of 2 consecutive terms served.
## **Staff**
As of March 31, 2024, Khulisa had 18 staff members (full and part-time) based in London and the North West and worked with a bank of circa 14 freelance facilitators. All programme delivery staff and freelancers are trained in Khulisa’s programme methodology and have their suitable qualifications assessed during the recruitment phase, which also includes a full enhanced DBS check.
## **Members**
Khulisa has reviewed its’ member base and revised its’ membership offer to better serve the needs of the charity. Khulisa offered all members the opportunity to either remain a member, apply to become a trustee, resign or support the charity in the role of an ambassador/Major Donor. This resulted in 3 members remaining, with whom we have kept in touch and involved in the work of the charity.
## **Recruitment, appointment and induction of Trustees**
Trustees are recruited through an open and transparent process, utilising social media, staff & Board networks and our website to spread the word of new opportunities. Applicants are required to submit a CV and suitable candidates are then interviewed by the Chair who will then make any other introductions as necessary. For example, prospective candidates may be introduced to other Board members, the CEO or members of the Senior Leadership Team.
Successful candidates can then be elected by a majority vote of the Trustees at any regular meeting. Inductions for new Trustees includes pairing them with a ‘buddy’ from the existing Board membership, guiding them through various legal and strategic information, independent safeguarding training and having introductory conversations with various Trustees, the CEO and the Senior Leadership Team.

Khulisa Annual Report and Accounts 2023–2024
## **Pay policy**
The Board oversees CEO salary. They also oversee salary banding across the organisation with this being discussed in detail via the People and Culture Sub Committee. Specific salaries at all other levels are set by the CEO and Senior Leadership Team. Khulisa leads a performance management process annually based on performance and the financial health of the organisation.
Cross-organisation salary change recommendations are made to the board (with a requirement that 50% of the board are present to approve). These salary increase levels are based on Khulisa’s Pay & Remuneration Policy which set out salary banding for different levels of seniority (bench marked to equivalent sized charities).
## **Related parties and cooperation with partners**
Our Trustees conduct their role without any remuneration nor benefit from the charity. Any reasonable expenses that they incur while performing their role as a Trustee are reimbursed, provided they fall within the expense policy.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have decided on the level of reserves that the charity ought to have. Unrestricted funds are needed to:
- Provide funds which can be designated to specific projects to enable these projects to be undertaken at short notice; and
- To cover administration, fundraising and support costs without which the charity could not function
The Trustees consider that, as a medium term goal, it would be prudent that unrestricted funds should be sufficient to cover:
- 3 months administration, fundraising and support costs
- A pool equal to 10% of the average charitable expenditure over the preceding years from which funds can be designated to specific projects and meet our contractual obligations
Khulisa’s current target was to create a reserve fund of £285k based on £1,140 target expenditure for 2023/24. Unrestricted general funds at 31 March 2024 were £258k.
As can be seen on pages 14-16 (Risk Management) and page 41 (Financial Review) the Trustees and Leadership Team have a robust plan in place to regenerate reserves.
In order to reach young people, parents & carers and professionals who are most in need of our programmes, we work in partnership with schools and local authorities in London and the North West.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also directors of Khulisa for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ 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. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements 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 Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
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 Trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware
## and
- the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. 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.
- 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 charitable company will continue in operation.

## **Activities of Public Benefit**
## **The public benefits we aim to deliver through our work are:**
- Providing young people at risk of exclusion with social and emotional wellbeing programmes and support that helps them to self-regulate, relate and reason
- Improving the life chances of young people at risk of social and/or school exclusion by improving their wellbeing and their school attendance and attainment
- Building more nurturing communities of adults around young people
Trustees have paid due regard to their public benefit duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 when deciding what activities the charity should undertake. In the reporting year, these decisions were taken in the context of (1) a national decline in mental health among young people, parents & carers and teaching staff; and (2) a national school attendance crisis in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our adaptive programme model is designed to adapt to the needs in the space, making it well-suited to respond to these changing needs.

## Letter from **the CEO**
**Jodie Wickers,** Chief Executive Officer
As I sit down to write this, I am remembering the moment I was told I was excluded from school. I felt shame, so much shame. I felt invisible, could they not see what was going on? I felt alone. They asked why my behaviour had escalated, but I didn’t have the words to tell them. I didn’t have relationships I could trust. I was already shrouded in shame, I didn’t have the strength or the skills to explain. It was hard to think about what this meant for my future, every day was survival.
Sometimes, being a charity CEO feels a bit like fighting for survival; having to face down huge challenges and holding the worry ‘will we be okay?’. I often find myself using some of the coping techniques from the Khulisa programme! Regulating myself, doing a body scan, rationalising, not letting myself slide into a shame or/and fear mentality. Reminding myself that if you’re brave enough to look outside of yourself and share - there are always people who will help.
My main takeaway from this year is a sense of pride. We have utilised the support and expertise of the team and those around us, and we have successfully followed our rebuild plan and invested in our free reserves, increasing them to £258k and ensuring we lay strong and sustainable foundations for Khulisa’s future. So I want
to start by shining a light on the hard work
and determination of the team and our supporters in helping us do this. And to reiterate for each and every one of us, that it’s only by asking for support, and being willing to take it, that we can really move forward.
We’ve secured over £1.2m income, stepping over the £1m mark for the first time in Khulisa’s history! This has been with our most diverse income portfolio as we’ve started to develop both our corporate offer and school sales model.
I’m proud of this - because this is what will mean that we can support more young people and for longer - and for me, that’s what this is all about. Our increased financial security has enabled us to dream bigger for the role we can play in supporting young people and we have put that straight into action. We have worked with Impetus and EY Parthenon to develop a 3-year strategy for Khulisa. This centres on enhancing our core programme so we can drive forward increased impact for our young people. Alongside supporting them to develop their social and emotional skills and wellbeing, we will now be supporting

them to achieve better engagement and attendance in education. We will also be capturing longer term outcomes; helping us understand both the immediate impact and long-term impact our programme has.
This new programme will more than triple the support hours to young people. Building on the success of our parent/ carer pilots, our new programme will also provide direct support to our young people’s parents/carers; creating circles of containment, safety and support, changing the environment and strengthening the relationships they have with key adults in their life to support them to sustain their outcomes. As the programme is longer and more complex, there is a highly intentional temporary drop in the number of young people we reach, with us reaching 262 this year - but as we grow, this will rise back up. We are comfortable with this - because we want to be an organisation that focuses on depth of impact, long-term outcomes and truly transformative change for young people in the most under-resourced communities.
Another core element of our new strategy is centering and amplifying young people’s voices. We will platform young people and create opportunities to share their story, their way. They will shape our programme design, our recruitment, and be key decision makers in developing our policy and influencing strategy and communications strategy. At the time of publishing (December 2024) I am beyond delighted that we are really starting to see this come into fruition, having already appointed and trained over 20 Young Influencers.
introduced us to their networks and provided useful advice and support.
It’s this hope and belief that always keeps me going and that has helped us succeed in the last year - doing it with others, and doing it together.
And the most important thing of all? Is that the young people we work with have been part of this transformational change, they’ve seen and felt us respond to them and their feedback and they know and feel important, as they absolutely are.
Here’s to the year ahead, in community with the young people we serve.
“Building on the success of our parent/carer pilots, our new programme will also provide direct support to our young people’s parents/carers; creating circles of containment, safety and support.”
Jodie Wickers, CEO of Khulisa
The last year has also seen our team grow; we’ve welcomed new staff and new board members. We’ve also been privileged to work with exceptional funders and individuals, who have supported us and provided important critique as we developed our new strategy, generously given us funding and/or

## **Risk Management**
Risk management planning is part of Trustees’ annual planning cycle in collaboration with the Executive Leadership Team who form a risk management plan on which they report quarterly to the Board. Internal controls manage key risks such as financial management and these are periodically reviewed by Trustees, or reviewed when changes in risk or legislation occur.
## **The key risks for Khulisa are:**

## **Risk**
**Financial** - the charity fails to generate enough income to sustain it’s planned level of work or to rebuild its reserves
## **Mitigation**
Internal financial controls are monitored quarterly by a Finance Sub-Group of the Board, and the Board at large.
Annual budget cycles and quarterly decision making includes pre-emptive pivot plans to be used if needed.
Management accounts and income analysis informs full year re forecasts and allows pivot plans to be adopted.
A rolling 12 month cash flow forecast keeps management attention on our outlook.
We have increased our focus on higher value bids and have identified income opportunities from Corporates.
Key focus on income diversification including Corporate and Major Donor income and planning toward a partpaid model for schools.
**Impact** - risks of not meeting our reach targets could adversely affect future fundraising
We have intensified our programme and updated our theory of change to reflect the longer lasting and deeper outcomes we expect this to deliver.
We increased flexibility by hiring new facilitators to support a school sales strategy which is central to our plans going forward.
Our data suggests that young people’s feeling of wellbeing has remained the same but there was significant improvement in their resilience and emotional regulation during the year.
We have started to capture school attendance and attainment data and will monitor these alongside the outcomes we evaluate.
We have expanded our participant profile in line with feedback from young people and schools and supported schools to improve referral pathways.

## **Risk**
**Legal** - the charity fails to comply with GDPR, HR or Fundraising regulation and laws
## **Mitigation**
The Finance and the People & Culture Sub Groups of the Board have these highly legislated business functions within their remit to scrutinise and the Leadership Team provides quarterly updates to these groups, just prior to quarterly Board meetings. Live and emerging risks or legal changes are shared via a risk management framework with robust version control to monitor risk/management change over time. We have extended the use of the risk register to include the whole management team.
We have improved system access controls and purchased additional licences for staff.
We have also provided cyber awareness training to all staff and Trustees.

## An Introduction from our
## **Head of Evidence and Impact** Zaynab Osman
As Head of Evidence and Impact, I am delighted to share some of the headlines from an impactful year for Khulisa.
## **The increasing challenge**
The past year has presented significant challenges for young people, with a notable decline in their overall wellbeing nationally. A recent study by The Children’s Society (2023) **[1]** highlighted that the average wellbeing of children aged 10 - 15 in the UK has been on the decline since 2009 - a worrying statistic.
There is also a concerning trend in the decline of life satisfaction for UK children (OECD, 2023) **[2]** , with 25% of UK students reporting they are not satisfied with life. This is the lowest rating of all EU countries and significantly higher than the OECD average of 18%. This trend, exacerbated by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the urgent need for support services that prioritise young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
## **Khulisa’s response**
In response to this pressing need, Khulisa has continued to deliver vital support services to young people, enhancing our programme to align with young people’s increasing needs. Our evidence-based programmes are designed to address the unique challenges faced by underserved young people, equipping them with the social and emotional learning tools they need to build resilience, improve their emotional wellbeing and stay in school.

Compared to the national average of England in 23/24 where **51%** of young people in schools were male and **49%** were female.
**We are using the terms male and female to reflect the DfE data so that we can report against their data set for the purpose of benchmarking. We recognise that gender exists on a vast spectrum and that therefore these terms are limiting and may feel harmful to some young people. In our programmes and in all our work with young people we refer to young people by their chosen pronouns and gender identities without exception or judgement.

*We are using the term ‘disadvantage here to reflect the language in the DfE data set being referred to. However, we acknowledge that this language can be labelling and suggest an inherent deficit in young people. On the contrary, Khulisa knows that young people are full of potential and power and experience disadvantage at the hands of a system which is not fit to meet their needs.

**Our pilot Face It 2.0 programme demonstrated sustained positive impact, with the majority of young people reporting that they continued to use learned coping skills six months post programme.** We conducted a pilot of our longer more intensive **Face It 2.0 programme** in **October 2023** . We have been tracking outcomes of the 11 young people who took part in the pilot over a longer period of time and learned that the majority of those who completed the programme (attending over 50% of sessions or more) demonstrated sustained use of the learned coping skills after six months.
Studies have shown that it often takes repeated exposure and practise for new habits to become ingrained. In the context of our programme, we have observed that:

## Case Study
## **Young Person’s Story**
Meet Amber, who has completed our Face It programme and generously shared some of their personal takeaways and memories.
These are their actual words, but we’ve changed their name to protect their identity.
## **My favourite memory from the Khulisa programme is…**
Discussions, and art and drawing. For example, when drawing the body map. We drew an outline of a person and wrote the emotions we can feel when we are sad, hurt or angry.
## **My biggest takeaway or lesson from the programme is…**
The trigger game, I learnt to trust others, focus and accept defeat without giving up. When doing the role plays, we thought about different types of violence and what they look like in different situations.
## **Something I have enjoyed about my 1:1s after the programme is…**
I have enjoyed going into detail and being able to talk about my problems 1:1. I like when we had to pick the ‘all about me’ cards in the first session and answer them and think about how I am doing in school.
## **My main takeaway from the programme is…**
After Khulisa I've felt that I've been more confident and also I've been taking time to take care of myself physically and mentally. I've been able to identify better what my reactions are when I'm angry or upset and been learning about myself more.

## Khulisa x **SAFE London**
The SAFE (Support, Attend, Fulfil, Exceed) initiative is a nationwide programme aimed at supporting vulnerable young people by improving wellbeing, behaviour, school attendance, and engagement. Through collaboration with local secondary schools and community partners, SAFE delivers evidence-based interventions that foster safer, more inclusive environments for young people. Khulisa was selected to partner with SAFE in two boroughs; Southwark and Lambeth, enabling us to bring our unique approach to learning social and emotional skills to the forefront of this critical work.
We secured this partnership by aligning with SAFE’s objectives and demonstrating a commitment to youth-centred, therapeutic programming. Following a successful application, we engaged in collaborative planning with SAFE task force teams to establish shared goals and define each partner’s role. Together, we delivered tailored interventions, centred on our flagship programme, “Face It,” which uses therapeutic approaches and creative methods, to address the underlying causes of challenging behaviours and disengagement from school.
Throughout this partnership, we successfully delivered **19** “Face It” programmes, positively impacting **183** young people. Key highlights included significant improvements in emotional regulation, resilience, and overall wellbeing, with many young people exceeding national benchmarks in these areas. Beyond quantitative measures, the programme fostered stronger self-awareness, safer learning environments, and a sense of belonging. With one young person sharing;
## **“I learnt how to interact with other people better and ask questions instead of assuming. I feel more confident.”**
The success of these programmes reflects the strength of our partnership working, in which we play to the relative strengths of each partner. The insights and feedback gained from this collaboration are guiding us as we evolve Face It toward longer lasting impact for young people.
Faye Hussain, Lead Commissioner, Newham SAFE Taskforce, had this to say about working with Khulisa;
“Working with Khulisa on the SAFE initiative has been transformative for both our schools and the young people we serve. Khulisa’s tailored approach through the ‘Face It’ programme has been invaluable in helping our students develop essential social and emotional skills. Their team’s commitment, collaboration, and unique methods have created lasting positive changes, including improved attendance, and more positive behaviour. This partnership truly exemplifies the power of collaboration in making a meaningful difference.”

**46% Pupil Premium**
**Ofsted Feb 2023 - Good**
## **Will Berridge,** Assistant Head Teacher at Park View School says **;**
**IDACI* rating - 5 most disadvantaged**
## **Spotlight on our partnership with Park View School**
Khulisa has partnered with Park View School in Haringey **since 2019** and since **schools reopened in 2021** , we’ve delivered 12 transformative “ **Face It** ” programmes, empowering **117 young people** with tools for resilience and growth.
Our partnership with Park View continues to inspire change and create lasting positive outcomes. Impact Highlights from our latest programme delivery include
## **96%** of young people used coping skills learnt on the programme
## **68%** of young people had improved resilience
*IDACI means ‘Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index’ (IDACI) 2019. The deprivation of a provider is based on the mean of the deprivation indices associated with the home postcodes of the pupils attending the school rather than the location of the school itself. The schools are divided into five equal groups (quintiles), from ‘most deprived’ (quintile 5) to ‘least deprived’ (quintile 1)
“Park View School has worked closely with Khulisa for many years to support the evolving emotional needs of our students. Together, we support young people’s emotional wellbeing, providing the tools they need to thrive in and out of the classroom. Through Khulisa’s support, we’ve seen improvements in both attendance and attainment, reflecting the lasting impact of this work.
One memorable success was with a student who had often been disengaged who, during the programme, smiled around school for the first time, fully engaged in Khulisa’s sessions and found a renewed sense of connection. Another standout was a student who typically resists interventions and struggles with engagement. Despite her usual reluctance, she shared how much she enjoyed the programme, which was a huge step forward.
These experiences are just a glimpse of the positive impact Khulisa has had on our students. We’re excited to see this partnership continue to support and uplift young people in meaningful ways”

## Meet a **Senior Programme Manager**
**Tasha,** JNC Youth and Community Worker & Trainee Integrative Therapist
## **What’s your role and how long have you worked at Khulisa?**
I’m a Senior Programme Manager and I’ve been at Khulisa 3.5 years
**What’s your go-to creative activity in the young person programme and why is it so effective?**
Role plays! Literally - role plays can be used to embed the learning for ANY programme material:
_What triggers you, and what happens in your body when you’re triggered?_
Role play to embed it.
_What are the different levels of violence?_
Role play to show me that you understand the effects of emotional violence (which is so often underestimated)
_Want to be a criminologist in the future?_
Role play the interview for the job!
You can literally use it for anything, and the young people become so creative showcasing the depths to what they have understood of it.
**The programme is becoming more intensive and now works with parents, carers and teachers too. What are you most excited about in this new programme?**
Making more of a difference in the life of the young people we serve.
We hear a lot from the young people themselves about how the adults in their life have the power to affect them, so it will be great getting everyone speaking the same language. With the Trauma Training, I’m excited to see how teachers will move towards a trauma-informed way of working. We need teachers to create nurturing environments that keep young people regulated and ready to connect with each other and learn.
With the parenting programme, I am excited about demystifying the confusing world of the teenage brain. Parenthood does not come with a manual so I am hopeful that this knowledge will help to make small differences within the homes of the young people we serve. I am just excited to see everyone more prepared, educated and equipped to help shape the future of the next generation.

## **What’s the best and the hardest thing about delivering the programme in mainstream secondary schools?**
The best thing is connecting with young people. I thrive on these moments and interactions. Young people are so amazing, insightful, intelligent and clued up - more than we give them credit. I love learning from them and challenging them.
The hardest thing is getting schools to understand the way we work. We often get questions or challenges on why we do the things we do; e.g., “Why can young people keep their coats on in sessions?” (though we tell them once they leave the room, traditional school rules apply). Well, we like to give them autonomy over their own bodies/regulate their own temperature. This may clash with traditional school rules outside of our sessions, but young people are so much more likely to be able to follow this rule day to day once they’ve learned first on our programme how to self-regulate when rules they dislike are in place. Our programme reduces so-called ‘behaviour incidents’ precisely because we give young people autonomy while they are learning this skill.
**What’s the simplest way you would explain Bruce Perry’s 3 Rs (Regulate, Relate, Reason), and why is this such an important skill to have?**
Regulated people build better relationships, have better health prospects, make better decisions, have improved performance and have better mental health.
If you are not regulated, then you simply cannot function effectively. Without regulation we cannot tap into our higherlevel brain functions; e.g., reason, logic,
reflect, learn, process, think and then plan. Have you ever tried to do something that requires deep thought when you do not feel safe or grounded?
You probably didn’t do a great job.
Bruce Perry’s 3 Rs is such an easy framework to remind people of the little steps to learning and developing as a person. It is an important skill to have as we know that being unregulated means prolonged exposure to stress, which leads to people who are easily triggered, overreact to situations and have emotional outbursts, which triggers the automatic way to perceived threat - fight, flight, freeze responses - which can often lead to behaviours we later regret or can be harmful. It is impossible to relate to and reason with a person who is not regulated in a survival response.

## **Our Influencing**
At Khulisa, we’ve always believed in the power of evaluation to ensure the highest quality and most impactful support for young people. Our journey in influencing educational policy and practice reflects this commitment, focusing on understanding the nuanced challenges in schools today and collaborating with umbrella bodies, policymakers, researchers, and communities. This work may be in its infancy, but we’re proud of the influence we’ve had with our small but mighty team and the vision we’ve built to mature our advocacy and influencing work.
## **Here’s what we’ve been up to...**
## Influencing policy makers
In April 2023, we responded to the Department for Education's inquiry into teacher retention and recruitment, advocating for policy changes that prioritise teacher wellbeing. We also engaged in key discussions through roundtables with the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on school exclusions. These events provided platforms to share insights from our work with vulnerable students, emphasising the need for inclusive policies that address mental health and behavioural needs in school settings.
Winning a Fair Education Alliance Scaling award
We were awarded the FEA Scaling Award, a two-year investment in our strategic and leadership development. This support enhances our capacity to share best practice in promoting wellbeing in schools, marking a significant milestone in amplifying our policy impact.

## school attendance crisis
TI stoned 11 In September 1 2023, Khulisa - in ‘ ’ partnership with Public First, SchoolListening to, and learning from, parents in the Home Support, and attendance crisis Impetus - released groundbreaking Pusuichiasr, ® ne 1 khulisa SHS“ research highlighting the alarming decline in school attendance, exacerbated by the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis.
“My eldest - she was playing football, she was well into her sport, confident, outgoing, and then we were put on lockdown. Now she gets herself worked up about situations. And then obviously, because she gets herself worked up, then she’s getting headaches, stomach aches, she feels sick. So she misses school due to it now.”- **Female, Manchester, social group E, children aged 5, 6 and 11**
Under-served young people are more likely to be absent. In **2022-2023** , **37.9%** of under-served pupils were persistently absent, compared to **16.7%** of their peers with access to services and support.
“Attendance and absence have gone through the roof, and I can’t see what the government are doing about it. They’re not really doing - they’ve left the schools and head teachers to deal with it, and then you get parents that are really angry and then obviously, they back off because don’t want to – so we’re fighting for our kids.”- **Female, Manchester, children aged 5 and 10**
Parents told us that they’d noticed a big rise in anxiety, in both their own children and in their peers. This was reflected in additional ‘mental health days’ where children were too tired, stressed or anxious to attend school. Like the young people we’re supporting, these issues are felt most acutely in communities where services and access to services has historically been lacking.
“My son’s mental health went bad. So now he’s having therapy. They do some therapy in school and things like that. It’s not enough.”- **Female, Manchester, children aged 5 and 10**
Our CEO, Jodie Wickers, shared key insights from this report, offering recommendations for policymakers to address attendance challenges.
“The idea that every school day matters, once a cornerstone of the parent-school relationship, has been abandoned. And this is a shift with significant implications for both education and student wellbeing.” **- Jodie Wickers, CEO**
This is problematic because poor school attendance leads to lower academic achievements across all ages. Missing out on school also means missing out on opportunities for support: Regular school attendance provides broader social, health, and civic benefits, with school-based interventions like Khulisa’s supporting struggling students.
The report gained extensive media coverage, reaching a broad audience through outlets like _LBC_ , _The Guardian_ , _ITV_ , _Sky News_ , and _The Telegraph_ .

## Commitment to
## Long-Term evidence
In September 2023 we were pleased to embark upon an ambitious pilot RCT in partnership with The Lab, funded by Stuart Roden and the Youth Endowment Fund.
During the pilot RCT we were pleased to support 29 young people across 4 programmes. We took the difficult decision to withdraw from the evaluation six months later after careful consideration with the Lab and in consultation with schools and young people. We had encountered some challenges including: schools’ capacity to fulfil the reporting requirements and some hesitance from young people, parents and carers to participate in this trial. Our primary interest, in making this decision, was to listen to young people and their families and recognise the limitations schools currently had in partnering with us under the conditions of an RCT.
We published our two-year evaluation with ImpactEd on our flagship programme, Face It, assessing its impact on social and emotional skills and wellbeing among young people in London and Manchester. Results showed significant improvements in wellbeing, resilience, self-regulation, and coping skills. This evidence will guide our continued advocacy as we engage heads and policymakers, furthering our long-term commitment to influencing educational policy through research and collaboration to benefit students and educators alike.
**Watch our CEO and Head of Impact discuss the results of our schools research report here** bit.ly/KhulisaDiscussReport
We look forward to the publication of the full RCT findings in January 2025, which will include data contributed by Khulisa, and remain committed to rigorous evaluation and learning.

## Spotlight on **Trauma Training**
The transition to adolescence and to secondary school can be especially challenging for young people with an experience of trauma or adversity. This often places them at an increased risk of exclusion, social isolation or poor mental health. Teachers and pastoral teams are under significant pressure to drive up attendance and attainment despite reduced budgets. It’s no wonder that educators are struggling to effectively look after their own wellbeing in this context! Yet they are the very frontline of support, when trauma-experienced young people need help to stay in the classroom and get the education they deserve.
We took feedback from teachers in our Whole School Approach; the very earliest iteration of our more systemic work with adults around the young person. In these 1-hour twilight sessions, we equipped educators with trauma training theory to prepare them for supporting triggered and dysregulated young people. Educators told us that whilst they recognised the importance of being familiar with the theory, they often struggled to translate this into practice, particularly within whole classroom environments.
Based on this feedback, we have now enhanced our staff trauma-training programme. The programme now focuses on building staff awareness of applied
trauma-informed practice; equipping them with essential knowledge and strategies for effective methods to be used within the classroom, whilst recognising the importance of their own self-care.
Our new offer introduces theory and encourages reflective practice and experiential learning. This approach enables educators to go deeper into thinking about where they may have their own responses. It also allows them to recognise, regulate and process this so that they are in the best possible position to support and coregulate their students to trauma responses through informed principles and positive healing relationships.
“Teachers and pastoral teams are under significant pressure to drive up attendance and attainment despite reduced budgets. It’s no wonder that educators are struggling to effectively look after their own wellbeing in this context!”

## What’s next
## **for Khulisa?**
The last year has been a difficult one for the sector, and we have needed to focus on building and investing in our stability. We are now ready to move forward with the core goals of our 2024-27 strategy:
Moving Programme Development toward deeper, longer lasting outcomes via Face It 2.0
Building our Youth Voice strand, so that young people are front and centre of our decisions and our work
Strengthening our Partnership working with Schools
Stabilising and investing in our infrastructure.
## **Programme Development**
standard. This means we’re working with fewer young people than last year and that our path to growth will be intentionally gradual. The growth we want is sustained growth - where we are embedded in schools and communities, and where the young people on our programme are set up with social and emotional skills which endure long beyond our programme and into their promising lives ahead.
This might seem like a bold choice at a time where (1) funding in the charity sector is under more pressure than ever; and (2) intensive interventions ask for a greater commitment of funders. However, we believe this pressure calls for a collaborative response focused on the growing needs of a crisis in national school attendance and a national decline in young people’s wellbeing.
We need funders and partners who will stand with us to achieve lasting change for young people and for the long-term public gain. If you would like to support Khulisa’s work to set young people up with the social and emotional skills they need for life, please contact **info@khulisa.co.uk** and we would love to discuss how you can help.
In collaboration with both young people and schools, we took the decision to intensify our programme, more than tripling its duration, breadth and depth. In addition, we also introduced new outcome measures, such as self-awareness, relationships and engagement in school.
Why? Because our new strategy is about “= sustained and deeper outcomes.
It’s less about growing reach in competition with our peers, and more about doing what we do to an excellent

## **Youth Voice**
Our vision for Youth Voice places young people at the heart of Khulisa’s decisionmaking, ensuring their influence shapes every aspect of our inward- and outwardfacing work.
Adapting to young people’s feedback has been baked into our programme design since its inception and now we want to give them opportunities to learn and to shape both the work we do and the education world around them.
Over the next 3 years, this approach will see young people leading as influencers, interviewers, and co-creators across various projects. For example, Young Interviewers will help recruit staff, bringing unique insights to the process, while the Young Influencers programme will drive campaigns and creative initiatives. This strategy began with youth-led evaluations and continues to evolve based on feedback from the young people themselves.
Our asset-based approach recognises young people as experts in their own experiences and as innately powerful individuals with the capacity for strong social and emotional skills.
## **Partnership working with schools**
We’ve worked in mainstream schools since 2011. These schools are central to our new strategy, which targets economically marginalised young people in mainstream secondary education who are failed by a system which isn’t setting them up to thrive.
We’re shifting to a part-paid for model with schools, with the aims of (1) making our newer intensive work more sustainable and (2) professionalising our relationships with the education sector. We source match-funders for our school partnerships, so that schools never need to pay the full costs but always get the full impact.
Our model and impact measurements are grounded firmly in young people’s outcomes while also providing schools the data and evidence they need for meeting both National Pupil Premium Strategy best practice and evidence in readiness for OFSTED inspections. This has been streamlined by our use of ImpactEd software, making data reporting seamless for all of our school partners.
Whether it’s through shaping services, leading advocacy campaigns, or influencing policies - young people will play a central role in driving change across the charity. Creativity will be a key tool in amplifying their voices, ensuring that Khulisa remains an inclusive space where young people feel empowered to lead with purpose. Our long-term vision is for Khulisa to be at the forefront of influencing both policy and practice in mainstream education, and thus we are building a movement of young people who can be central to this work.

Khulisa Annual Report and Accounts 2023–2024
**Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of: Khulisa** (A Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a share capital)
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Khulisa (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the 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 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 our 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 directors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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
We have nothing to report in this regard.

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.
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
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.
- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance about actual and potential litigation or claims and the identification of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness; and assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias.
- Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
- Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampling in material audit areas.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ending 31 March 2023**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **a) Basis of accounting**
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **b) Company status**
Khulisa is a private company, registered in England and Wales, limited by guarantee, has no share capital and is also a registered charity. In the event of the Company
being wound up, each member is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. The address of the registered office is given in the Reference and Administrative Information on page 2.
## **c) Capital items & depreciation**
Office equipment and fixtures and fittings are depreciated using the straight line method over four years. Other Project assets are depreciated over the life of the project, (normally three years) apart from project assets that are fully grant funded, which are written off in the year of purchase. Capital items have a minimum purchase cost of £500.
## **d) Income**
Items of income are recognised in the Statement of financial Activities (SOFA) when all of the following criteria are met:
- the charity is entitled to the funds;
- any performance conditions have been met;
- there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
- the amount can be measured reliably.
The company received government support through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which is accounted for on the accruals basis.

Khulisa Annual Report and Accounts 2023–2024
## **e) Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Expenditure on raising funds includes those costs incurred on attracting donations and grant funding.
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.
Expenditure is allocated under the principal categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Direct costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, support costs are allocated on an appropriate basis, e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage.
## **f) Fund accounting**
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors, or by appeals for specific projects, and the purpose and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which are set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the Trustees.
The general fund comprises the accumulated surpluses on the SOFA less any funds designated for specific purposes by the Trustees.
## **g) Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity’s pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. In addition to ongoing Governance costs, oneoff costs incurred in connection with building governance capacity are included within Charitable Activities and are in part matched by specific funding.
