## Young people told us: 

_“I believe in myself more now.”_ 

_“I know how to control myself when I feel angry because when I got mad I used to take it out on teachers and I would sit down and scream at people."_ 

_“I feel proud of who I am.”_ 

_“Whenever I got sad, I used to break things, I used to hit things but since I joined this programme, I just sit on my bed and try to find a way to calm myself. I also look at my awesomeness cards"._ 

_"I used to shout at my mum a lot but ever since I have started coming here I stopped”._ 

_“Flourish has increased my confidence and helped me be kinder to myself. I used to self-harm before Flourish and Flourish has made me stop it. I feel comfortable being myself now, before I’d be too scared to be myself around my friends but Flourish has made me feel comfortable about who I am and be myself more around others. Going forward I am going to speak kind words over myself like I am useful and can do anything”._ 

_“Flourish has helped bring my confidence back up. I’ve loved the freedom I’ve been given to be myself. In primary school I had no friends. I used to get home and hit myself because I was sad and lonely. When I started Flourish I had hardly any friends but I’ve now made friends with all the people in this group”._ 

_“Whenever I feel unhappy or overwhelmed in lessons. I think of what I’ve learnt in Flourish and it makes me feel better. I’m going to challenge myself to speak more positively over myself”._ 

## **Development: Training and Capacity** 

In 2025 we delivered **7 accredited training events** , training **65 facilitators** , including: 

- Teachers and teaching assistants 

- Youth workers

_“This will not just influence my work life but also my personal life as well.”_ 

_“This has been the most inspiring 2 days, I cannot wait to get going and delivering the Flourish Project. The children I work with will get so much from it, thank you.”_ 

_“Thank you so much for all the hard work that has gone into this project. I am walking away inspired and ready to fight with the flourish team to equip as many young people as possible.”_ 

_“This is the best training that I have been on in terms of self-reflection and providing practical tools and advice to take forward into school to support the children I work with.

_TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT (incorporating Director’s Report)_ **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **Our Hub Network** 

As of the end of 2025, The Flourish Project operates through **71 active hubs** , broken down as follows: 

**41** Primary Schools – **58% of hubs** 

**18** Secondary Schools – **25% of hubs 11** Churches / Christian Organisations – **15% of hubs** 

**1** College – **2% of hubs** 

This diverse mix enables Flourish to support children across multiple stages of development and within trusted, familiar environments. 

## **Hub Retention and Sustainability** 

In 2025, **20 new hubs were onboarded** , supported through a mix of: 

- Grant funding 

- Direct payment by organisations and local businesses 

- Partial contributions toward training costs 

- Sponsorship 

With **71 active hubs** in total, this means **51 hubs** are retained from previous years, giving a hub retention rate of approximately **72%** . 

This high level of retention demonstrates that: 

- Organisations value the programme long-term 

- Flourish is being embedded into ongoing provision 

- The hub model delivers sustainable impact beyond initial funding 

## **Geographic Reach Across the UK** 


Our active hub network spans with the following distribution: 

**Wales:** 43 hubs — **61% of national activity England:** 22 hubs — **31% of national activity** 

`o` A significant proportion located within the **Midlands** 

**Scotland:** 6 hubs — **8% of national activity**

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 


_TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT (incorporating Director’s Report)_ 

## **Learning and Challenge** 

2025 has been a financially tougher year. Reduced grant income and rising operating costs required difficult but necessary decisions: 

- One staff role was made redundant 

- One fixed-term contract was not renewed 

Despite these pressures, programme delivery was sustained **.** Existing hubs were retained, and new organisations continued to invest in the programme—demonstrating both confidence in the model and its long-term resilience. 

## **Why This Matters** 

The Flourish Project is not a one-off intervention. It is a capacity-building model that: 

- Trains trusted adults 

- Embeds preventative wellbeing support locally in context with the community 

- Multiplies impact year on year 

- Reaches children before crisis point 

Even in a challenging year, Flourish continued to grow — reaching more children, training more adults, and sustaining a strong community network. 

## **Looking Ahead** 

As we move into 2026, our focus is on deepening impact while extending our reach to those most often excluded from early intervention and preventative support. We are committed to ensuring that the children and young people who are _hardest to reach are no longer left behind_ . 

Our priorities for 2026 are: 

- **Supporting retained hubs to deepen impact** Investing in our existing hubs to ensure quality, consistency, and long-term sustainability, enabling trusted adults to embed Flourish more deeply within their communities. 

- **Strengthening financial sustainability** Building a resilient funding model that supports growth without compromising quality, ensuring the programme remains accessible to schools and settings serving the most vulnerable young people. 

- **Expanding access to underserved and high-risk communities** Extending our reach to children and young people who face compounded disadvantage, including **young offenders** . This includes those in alternative provision, residential settings, secure schools, and youth custody environments—young people who are often labelled “hard to reach” but are hardly _ever reached_ .

_(incorporating Director’s Report)_ 

- **Reaching the unreachable** 

   - By adapting and piloting Flourish within youth justice contexts, we aim to provide preventative, strengths-based support to young people. Expanding into these settings represents a critical opportunity to intervene, rebuild self-worth, and support positive identity formation. 

- **Continuing to evidence impact with robust data** 

   - Strengthening our evaluation framework to capture meaningful outcomes across mainstream, alternative, and secure settings—ensuring our evidence reflects both scale _and_ depth of impact, particularly with the most complex cohorts. 

Together, these priorities reflect our commitment not only to growth, but to equity—ensuring that Flourish reaches those who need it most, not just those who can access it most easily.

_TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT (incorporating Director’s Report)_ 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY** 

The Trustees have reviewed the financial performance of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. An annual budget is set at the beginning of each financial year, with actual performance monitored against this budget on a quarterly basis by the Trustees. This approach enables timely oversight of income and expenditure and supports effective financial control and reserves management. 

In the prior financial year, the charity reported a surplus of approximately £30,000. During the year ended 31 December 2025, the charity reported a deficit of £51,858. This was primarily due to a combination of reduced grant income compared to previous years and planned one-off investment costs, including expenditure associated with the charity’s rebrand and the development of a new website. 

In response to this position, the Trustees undertook a review of the charity’s cost base and, at the end of 2025, made the difficult decision to reduce staffing levels, resulting in the redundancy. These actions were taken to protect the charity’s financial stability and ensure its continued operation. 

Following the financial controls and cost-saving measures implemented at the end of 2025, the Trustees believe the charity is appropriately positioned to meet its ongoing liabilities as they fall due. The Trustees are confident that, subject to income being realised in line with forecasts, the charity will be able to operate within its available resources and cover its costs during the 2026 financial year. 

## _Financial Review_ 

As of 31 December 2025, the charity held total reserves of £50,591 (2024: £102,809), of which £5,973 was restricted (2024: £13,381), and £8,312 was designated for specific projects (2024: £7,656). Free reserves, being unrestricted funds less fixed assets, were £36,666 (2024: £79,890). The Trustees are satisfied that the current level of free reserves meets the charity’s reserves policy and provides a stable foundation for future growth. 

## _Reserves Policy_ 

The Proton Foundation’s reserves policy forms part of our financial procedure manual and is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees. Reserves are the portion of the charity’s unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend on any of the charity’s purposes. Our reserves policy ensures that the charity maintains sufficient free reserves to support ongoing operations and manage financial risks. 

The purposes of our reserves are: 

- To provide a level of working capital that ensures the continuity of our core activities. 

- To provide funding for unexpected opportunities that align with the charity’s objectives. 

- To cover risks such as unforeseen expenditure or unanticipated loss of income. 

The Board of Trustees regularly reviews these criteria in line with the Proton Foundation’s strategic plan and annual objectives. Based on this review, the Trustees determine the target level of free reserves required to

## safeguard the charity’s financial stability. 

From time to time, the Trustees may designate funds from free reserves to cover significant project costs or the replacement of major assets. 

The Proton Foundation aims to maintain free reserves equivalent to 3-6 months of operating expenditure to ensure financial resilience and continuity of our charitable work. 

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT** 

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

- 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 charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts 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** 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value where considered necessary.  The trustees have reason to believe, at the date of signing the accounts, that the going concern basis remains appropriate. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

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 accounts. 

Transfers are made between funds when adequate justification and supporting evidence is provided. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations and legacies receivable are accounted for where there is entitlement, sufficient certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured reliably.  In the case of unsolicited donations this is usually only when received. All other income is accounted for under the accruals concept.  No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.  Donated capital items are included within the financial statements at their current value at the time of donation.  Income received for future periods is deferred until those periods.

**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** (continued) **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** (continued) 

## **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 use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **1.6 Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **1.7 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. 

## **1.8 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 FRS102 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. 

## **1.9 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. 

## **1.10 Retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operated a defined contribution scheme under auto-enrolment.  Contributions payable are charged to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are payable. 

## **1.11 Leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases, including lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

**PROTON FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** (continued) **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** (continued) 

## **1.12 Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful economic lives at the following annual rates: 

Office fixtures & fittings 25% of cost Computer equipment 33.33% of cost 

## **1.13 Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.  Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement value. 

## **1.14 Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. 

## **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.
