Achievements and performance in the year
Young People Helped
A total of 2798 young people were reached by Mary’s in 2023/4 through individual and group sessions. 277 young people were intensively mentored on the Core Cohort violence reduction programme. Mary’s core offer for young people allocated a caseworker included 24/7 phone support, one to one mentoring; and support for mental health, housing and any other issues being raised in the young person’s life. The Core Cohort intervention has the entry criteria of a young person having a risk or existing involvement in the criminal justice system or risk or existing exclusion from education.
Mary’s young people came nearly exclusively from households in poverty (97%), and all were affected by violence or exploitation. 98% of Mary’s young people this year were affected by exclusion from school. Some form of special educational need was common (81%), as was having a social worker (52%). 25% were affected by domestic violence, 22% were affected by homelessness, and 8% of our young people were young carers.
Education
In the 2023/4 year Mary’s achieved 549 episodes of a young person being assisted back into education.

St Mary’s Centre Community Trust Annual report and financial statements
Year ended 31 March 2024
277 mental health interventions were achieved including 126 interventions to reduce anxiety. The You Can programme for mental health was undertaken over 6 hours across 6 weeks and delivered to 152 young people in a variety of settings including Pupil Referral Units. The You Can programme was accredited by external accreditation agency OCN.
Violence Interruption
Impactful and highly valuable violence interruption was achieved throughout the year. 63 violent altercations were addressed, including 9 episodes of domestic violence and 36 fights. 41 weapons were directly amnestied from young people and 94 knives were collected in the knife bin (only part year data is available due to change of bin supplier). 17 episodes of exploitation were handled, including 7 episodes of county lines and 8 episodes of grooming.
Prisons
42 days of gang diversion courses were held in prisons through the Crossroads Program, run in 8 prisons in England in the year. 20 individuals were supported in prison through long term mentoring.
Evidence
Mary’s published evidence reports on its Core Cohort violence reduction program from the year 20192021 showing significant impacts on the three scales of before and after assessment: aggression, mental wellbeing and self esteem. These factors are known to link to propensity to serious youth violence. Mary’s achieved a 39% decrease in aggression, a 59% increase in wellbeing, and a 49% increase in self esteem. The You Can programme evaluation found 97% of young people felt more confident to have conversations about mental health and wellbeing and 75% were more aware of different coping skills. The full evidence reports are available on our website.

St Mary’s Centre Community Trust is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital, exempt under Section 30 of the Companies Act, number 05754092, and a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1122054.

The Board delegates responsibility for consideration of certain areas of the governance to the following committees: Finance Committee, Safeguarding Committee, Fundraising Committee, and Building Committee. Committees meet at least quarterly and make recommendations to the Board.
Mary’s has an Internal Financial Controls policy.

Trustees are voluntary and are not paid. Staff pay levels are reviewed annually by the Board, taking into account performance and benchmarking.
Risk management
The process of identifying the major risks to which the Company is exposed, as identified by the Officers and Trustees, continues. The Officers and Trustees are committed to continuing this review of risks identified, and to making sure that their systems established to mitigate those risks are improved, where necessary.
Future Plans
Mary’s Trustees agreed a long term plan for the period 2024-2029. This strategy comprises of four main work areas: Violence Interruption and Knife Bins, Mentoring and Education, Prison Work, and Evidence. Each work area has a goal for the period and core aims. The full document is available on Mary’s website.
Building works
Mary’s is committed to improving the accommodation in which it is working. Mary’s is pursuing a plan to renovate and extend accommodation to facilitate greater volume of mentoring, groupwork and learning sessions and improved office space. The charity has therefore raised money including at a fundraising event in November 2023 for the renovation and building works and is actively pursuing the capital project to improve the facilities.
Financial results
During the current financial year the Charity achieved a surplus of £175,574 (2023: £36,083). This resulted in total reserves increasing in the year to £556,828 (2023: £381,254).
The Trustees are satisfied with the financial performance of the Charity throughout the year.
Of the total reserves held at year end £170,175 (2023: £35,737) were unrestricted as to use, with restricted reserves being £386,653 (2023: £345,517).
Reserves policy
Mary’s reserve policy is to hold reserves amounting to operational expenditure of the previous financial year.
Statement of board of trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
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 excess of income over expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material
Charity number 1122054 Company number 05754092

St Mary’s Centre Community Trust Annual report and financial statements
Year ended 31 March 2024
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and,
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue its activities.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and 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 have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect 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 UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. In addition, the trustees confirm that they are happy that content of the annual review in pages 5 to 8 of this document meet the requirements of both the Trustees’ Annual Report under charity law and the Directors’ Report under company law.
They also confirm that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014.

Independent examiner’s report
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Mary’s Centre Community Trust (charity number 1143406, company number 05079495) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 11 to 26.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) nor under Part 16 of the 2006 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under
-
section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and,
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006
-
Act; or,
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or,
• the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or,
Charity number 1122054 Company number 05754092

St Mary’s Centre Community Trust Annual report and financial statements

• the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and 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.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), including Update Bulletin 1, and the Companies Act 2006.
The effect of any event relating to the year ended 31 March 2024, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 March 2024 and the results for the year ended on that date.
The functional currency of the Charity is GBP and amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
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.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There are no material uncertainties that impact this assessment, and the wider economic environment has had no material impact on this assessment.
Legal status
St Mary’s Centre Community Trust is a charitable company registered in England & Wales and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member. The registered address is Elsworthy Road, Primrose Hill, London, NW3 3DJ.
Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise of 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 note 11 of the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 11 of the financial statements.
Income
Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable.

Year ended 31 March 2024
St Mary’s Centre Community Trust Annual report and financial statements
1. Accounting policies (continued from previous page)
Income (continued from previous page)
Grant income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless the grant relates to a future period, in which case it is deferred.
Income from charitable activities is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period or event, in which case it is deferred.
Other income consists of amounts received for investment income whcih is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.
Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated proportionate to total direct costs allocated to each project area, as outlined in note 5 of the financial statements.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets comprise fixtures, fittings, and equipment. All items over £500 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their residual value, over their useful life, on the following basis:
Computer equipment 5 years staight line Knife bins 10 years straight line
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values, but are not held for investment purposes.
Debtors and prepayments
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is applied. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Creditors and accruals
Creditors are recognised where the Charity 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.
Critical estimates and judgements
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The treatment of tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.

City Bridge Trust
Mary’s received money through the Explore Fund at City Bridge Trust which addresses issues affecting systemic inequality. The research being undertaken by Mary’s is to ascertain the value of professional supervision for the Serious Youth Violence workforce.
Food Vouchers
Mary’s held a specific online campaign to raise money for the distribution of food vouchers to young people. These support Mary’s food support scheme for young people in deprived circumstances, with a particular focus on support in holiday periods.
Hadley Trust
Mary’s set up a ‘Satellite Service’ in Hackney which aimed to increase the reach of Mary’s traditional violence reduction work grounded in person-centred care, practical support and mentoring. This was to reach 40 young people in Hackney the 2023/4 year experiencing a risk of school exclusion, vulnerability or risk of engagement in youth violence. The purpose of the grant was also to establish the potential of a satellite model of working for application in other locations.
