The breadth and depth of the services and programmes we deliver at Catch22 never fails to impress me. This year, Catch22 colleagues have delivered huge impact: supporting thousands of people to lead better lives, build resilience and fulfil their ambitions.

We’ve supported thousands of people furthest from the job market into jobs – with over 60% of those we place into work sustaining that employment beyond six months. We have designed programmes for specific cohorts (such as care experienced young people), and for specific industries (such as energy transition, digital and tech, and the cultural and creative sector).

We’ve helped young victims of exploitation, including County Lines, get their lives back on track, and recovered

Most of all I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all Catch22 staff for their ongoing committment and hard work. I hope you enjoy reading this review as much as I did.

New National County Lines support contract set to support hundreds of young victims

This month we announced our new Home offce contract to support hundreds of victims of exploitation from drug gangs through an expanded County Lines support service. The service operates in four priority locations of the country, where young people are often targeted – London, West Midlands, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

Catch22 is delivering a one-to-one specialist support service for young people under 25 – safely making contact with young people who have been referred by partners, such as police and children’s services, and work with them to exit their involvement in County Lines.

Our Patron, Princess Anne, awards Digital Edge participants

Participants on our Digital Edge programme – funded by Microsoft – which supports young people facing barriers to work into digital and tech careers, were presented with awards by HRH Princess Anne. The event was a celebration of the programme and the achievements of the young people who’ve participated over the last year.

9 Reform of youth employment – 1 year on In September 2021, Catch22 embarked in earnest on its mission to tackle youth unemployment and underemployment – by making it our Reform priority. In the last year, Catch22 employability programmes placed nearly 750 young people into work and many of those are still in work 6 months on. We’ve expanded many of our programmes, held several Employability Summits on diverse and inclusive workforces and held a roundtable series focussing on the topic of underemployment. Catch22 is also a member of the Youth Employment Group, which now comprises more than 200 organisations working in and around the youth employment space. We rounded off our activity by hosting fringe events at the Conservative and Labour ~~_~~ party conferences in the autumn. New pay and grading service to support our staff

As part of our commitment to our People, we launched our new pay and grading structure this month.

The new structure was introduced in line with our People Strategy ambitions to develop a Catch22 total reward offer that demonstrates that we value our people and that we can use as a lever to retain outstanding talent working across our Catch22 community. The revised pay structure enabled us to provide on an average a 6.5% increase for the majority of our employees and we put aside a £1.4 million investment to achieve this.

Catch22’s Tara Ward wins prestigious award for campaigning work for victims

Beacon’s Team Leader Tara Ward won the prestigious Saskia Jones Award at the Criminal Justice Alliance awards.

As well as her great work within the Beacon service and being an advocate for Catch22’s work externally, Tara successfully campaigned for a change to the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime. Thanks to her work, now in the case of homicide, wider relations to victims will receive support rather than just immediate family.

31 Child exploitation resource engages hundreds of schools There have been more than 1,200 downloads of Catch On - an education resource about child exploitation aimed at years 7 and 8 (ages 11-14). The resource contains a suite of options for a single lesson or a series of lessons exploring the topic of grooming and exploitation. There is also a separate handbook for parents and professionals. “It was very engaging and really enabled discussion. To be honest, we were a bit shocked at how much some of the kids knew about all this, although some were much less aware. It was definitely stories they could relate to and that encouraged them to reflect on their own experiences.” - Teacher

Across 10 days, we showcased where our Justice services deliver innovative models to support people involved in the criminal justice system. We shared how Catch22’s approach to topics like service design, lived experience, academic partnerships, and more is helping us make a real impact.

54 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

55

Catch22’s financial performance in 2022/23 was strong, although Restricted Funds fell during the year, this was expected due to expenditure of a significant grant (£2.8m) received in 2021/22 and the commencement of the winding down of the Catch22 Multi Academies Trust Ltd (MAT). Unrestricted Funds increased slightly and the overall strength in the balance sheet has been maintained.

Whilst grant income fell, due to the grant received in the previous year, our income from charitable activities increased by 4%, this growth has been driven by high retention rates of existing work and expansion of delivery on existing contracts together with new contracts in Justice and Young People, Families and Communities. Employability and Skills income fell due to the ending of the National Citizen Service contracts, and the transfer of our apprenticeship delivery to Simply One Stop Limited. As we highlighted last year, we were not able to grow our apprenticeship delivery to the scale required in order to deliver the impact we wanted and to ensure its financially sustainability, and therefore concluded that the interests of our apprentices and staff would be better served as part of a specialist learning provider.

with increasing complex contracts and service user need. Ensuring our corporate services are both effective and inefficient is a key focus for the next 18 months, as the closure of the MAT is finalised and we plan for the future.

Jobs22, our joint venture with the Angus Knight Group, continues to perform well, and the intention to extend the Restart contracts for a further two years has been announced by the Department for Work and Pensions and commercial negotiations are underway. We are continuing to look for opportunities to expand Jobs22’s delivery in the employability and skills market and expect to begin receiving dividend income from 2023/24.

The value of our investment portfolio increased during the year, and we remain confident that the investment strategies adopted by our investment managers will deliver the total returns target of the portfolio over the medium to long term.

During the year we closed our event management and hire trading company, Community Links Trading Ltd t/a Links Events Solutions, which was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and despite the best efforts of its staff and directors a return to profitability could not be achieved.

Support costs have increased due to planned investment to both grow and further diversify our income streams and to meet the requirements of our operational teams, who are dealing

56

FUTURE PLANS

We continue to deliver our 3-year business strategy that was launched in September 2023 including one of three key guardrails; that of ensuring that the organisation is ‘financially stable and sustainable; one true to its social value DNA’. Catch22 remains well positioned financially and is meeting the requirements of this guardrail by being cash positive, meeting our Free Reserves policy requirements and generating a reinvestable unrestricted surplus.

We continue to work towards to rebrokering all the MAT academies to new trusts and winding-up the company, although the process has been delayed due to continued negotiations between the incoming trusts and the Department for Education and the local authorities. It is now anticipated that the re-brokering process will be complete by late Spring 2024, with the transfer of the remaining three academies.

We continue to be committed to the delivery of Education and will look to achieve this through the growth of our independent school provision, starting with the expansion of our delivery in Wales.

Due to the closure of the MAT we are likely to see a fall in income over the next couple of years, but we continue to seek to grow the organisation as we continue to believe that scale offers financial protection and allows us to continue to offer a platform to incubate social entrepreneurs and smaller organisations to develop their ideas and secure their future impact. We continue to think there are particularly growth opportunities for the organisation in Education, Justice, a new victim support contract has been secured in 2023/24, the expansion of our children’s home offer and further

corporate partnerships focussing on supporting corporate organisations to deliver social value.

We also continue to seek mergers and acquisitions with other organisations where they can increase impact and improve financial sustainability.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

The group’s financial performance for the year to 31 August 2023 is set out in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Movements in the Restricted Pension Funds and Restricted Fixed Asset Funds relate to the operations of the Catch22 Multi Academies Trust (MAT). The underlying financial performance of the group is therefore better represented by the movements on Restricted Funds, decrease of £2.9m (2022: increase of £2.1m) and Unrestricted Funds, increase of £0.2m (2022: increase of £4.0m).

Restricted Funds, mainly relate to grants received from corporate partners to deliver specific projects which by their nature are subject to variation year-onyear, and the day-to-day operations of the MAT. The operations of the MAT resulted in a decrease in Restricted Funds of £0.9m during the year (2022: £0.2m), due to increased funding pressure in the education sector and additional costs incurred on school improvement. The remaining decrease of £2.0m (2022: increase of £2.3m) relates to expenditure on projects where the funding was received in the previous year. For one project in particular, funding of £2.8m was received during the year ended 31 August 2022, of which over £1.2m was spent during this financial year.

57

The increase in Unrestricted Funds is after net exceptional items expenditure of £0.1m (2022: £nil). The exceptional expenditure related to the disposal of the group’s apprenticeship business during the year. The increase in Unrestricted Funds last year included the sale proceeds of the sale of some shares in Jobs22 amounting to £5.2m.

The group’s consolidated balance sheet remains strong, with Restricted Reserves of £3.3m (2022: £6.2m) and Unrestricted Reserves of £15.9m (2022: £15.7m). These reserves continue to provide a solid base for the future of the organisation and the trustees have designated some of these reserves for future projects, the amount of Designated Reserves at the year-end was £1.3m (2022: £1.1m) . The trustees continue to place importance on a strong balance sheet to protect the group from continued inflationary pressure and ongoing economic uncertainty which will inevitably need to pressure on public finances; whilst driving increased demand for our services.

paying particular attention to those that consume a disproportionate amount of resources from our support services or require significant additional support to maintain or improve quality. Where it is not financially viable for the group to continue to deliver services, we are proactive in taking

measures to restructure them to ensure their future viability, or reluctantly close them where necessary.

As a result of actions taken over recent years including the sale of some of the shares in Jobs22, the group’s cash position remains strong with cash at bank and in hand of £7.7m £2022: £9.2m). The fall during the year largely reflects the reduction in Restricted Reserves outlined above. The group is not using any of its overdraft or working capital facilities and during the year the mortgage on its London headquarters was fully repaid.

The group continues to take a ‘balanced portfolio’ approach across its diversified income streams, with some services contributing a greater amount to the cost of support services than others. However, we continually review the financial viability of all our services,

58

Total income for the year to 31 August 2023 was

compared with

for the previous year.

In the previous year voluntary income included £0.3m of pension liabilities transferred to another academy trust on the re-brokering of the Everitt Academy from the MAT. After adjusting for this ‘one-off’ income amounts, income for the previous year is £54.5m.

T therefore there was a small decrease in income for year ended 31 August 2023 of

59

Donations, legacies, and grants were 9% of income excluding ‘one-offs’ (2022: 15%). The fall is primarily due to a grant of £2.8m received in the previous financial year for a project which will continue to be delivered through to January 2024.

Income from charitable activities rose by 4.6% to £47.8m (2022: £45.7m). The rise is due to new and expanded delivery in our Justice delivery through our Commissioned Rehabilitative Services, and new services in our Young People Families and Communities delivery, primarily related to supporting

victims of county lines and a full year of operation of our first children’s home. This is offset by our National Citizen Service contracts coming to end in our Employability and Skills strategic hub and the disposal of our apprenticeship business.

Trading income fell to £351k (2022: £517k) due to the planned closure of Community Links Trading during the year.

Investments income grew to £404k (2022: £209k) largely as a result of rising interest rates.

60

61

SUPPORT COSTS

Support costs increased by 10% during the year to £5.4m (2022: £4.9m), partly due to inflationary pressure but also some continued strengthening of the support teams and IT infrastructure. Support costs are 10% of income excluding the ‘one-off’ amounts relating to the MAT (2022: 9%).

Our business plan sets out that our corporate functions have an important role to play as an ‘integrator’ and that they will play a stronger role in delivering our operational activities going forward. During the year ended 31 August 2024 we have carried out a review, with some external professional support secured through our relationship with The Social Business Trust, of the quality, capacity and structure of our corporate services and plan to introduce a new operating model and new technology enabled ways of working. Our aim is to enhance our support functions to ensure that they efficiently enable Catch22’s operational hubs to excel.

NET GAINS/LOSS ON INVESTMENT ASSETS

The net gain on investments during the year was £0.3m (2022: net loss £0.7m) and at 31 August 2023, after withdrawals, the portfolio was valued at £10.9m (2022: £10.6m), in addition, income earned from the portfolio was £0.2m (2022: £0.2m).

was executed during the year ended 31 August 2024. The portfolios are diversified both in terms of asset classes and global markets and is invested with a focus on sustainability.

INVESTMENTS

All investments were acquired within the Trustees’ powers. The portfolio is held in general funds and is managed in accordance with an Investment Policy, which sets out the objectives of the fund, considers risk and liquidity requirements and sets out how the fund should be managed including the Board’s expectations around ethical and sustainable investment. The objective of the general fund is to provide a regular flow of income to support the daily activity of Catch22 and in addition, to achieve a level of capital growth which will preserve the real value of the fund over time and provide a capital fund for investment in approved development projects within Catch22.

Our investment portfolio is managed by firms of professional investment managers. The Trustees consider the performance of those managers and the investment portfolios they manage to be satisfactory and that our underlying investments are sound.

The trustees are satisfied with this investment performance, given the context of the performance of global markets. During the year, the trustees decided that to mitigate risk and maximise opportunities that half of the portfolio should be managed by another financial institution, this change

62

RESERVES

The Finance Growth and External Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, conducts an annual review of the level of unrestricted reserves in the general fund by considering risks associated with the various income streams, expenditure plans and balance sheet items.

The level of Free Reserves that should be maintained by the organisation is determined by balancing two competing objectives. On the one hand ensuring we have maximum and prompt use of resources to deliver real impact for service users and realise our reform ambitions and, on the other hand, ensuring we have adequate resources to continue to deliver our services through periods of financial challenge and uncertainty, and can be here for our beneficiaries over the medium and long term.

The trustees assess the risks that the charity is exposed to on a regular basis and determine a range for Free Reserves considering these risks. The principal risks include:

• an unexpected change in the level of our income;

• the need to maintain services over the short term if funding streams reduce;

• the likelihood of unexpected expenditure; and

• working capital requirements.

In determining the Free Reserves trustees also consider future plans for Catch22 and the need to protect vulnerable participants staff and volunteers in the unlikely event of unplanned closure of some of its services.

Whilst this process cannot come up with a precise figure for Free Reserves, after taking these factors into consideration the trustees believe that the appropriate level for Free Reserves is between £3.7m and £5.9m for the group.

Free Reserves are those that are freely available at the trustees’ discretion to help manage financial variability i.e., Unrestricted Reserves excluding fixed assets and bank borrowing secured against those fixed assets.

At 31 August 2023 the group’s total reserves amounted to £52.8m (2022: £55.2m) of which £37.0m was restricted (2022: £39.5m) and £15.9m was unrestricted (2022: £15.7m). Of the unrestricted amount trustees have committed £1.3m (2022: £1.1m) over the next 2/3 years to support the delivery of the organisation’s business strategy. These designated reserves will fund projects to support the use of data and analytics to evidence and improve impact; improve the environmental sustainability of the organisation; grow its reach to more participants; develop and capture the social value delivered by the organisation; and ensure the organisation’s support services are fit for purpose.

Of the remaining unrestricted reserves £8.9m (2022: £9.0m) is deemed to be Free Reserves. This is above the policy range (£3.7m to £5.9m) set by the trustees, but they continue to consider it prudent, given the current inflationary pressure in the economy, the continuing impact of the cost-of-living crisis on our staff and service users and the impact of current economic uncertainty on future public spending to hold free reserves more than the current maximum amount set out under the reserves policy, whilst they explore further ways to invest the reserves to improve impact, the organisation’s infrastructure and financial sustainability.

63 FINANCIAL RISKS Liquidity risk The group’s objective is to maintain a balance between cash balances and long-term investments. The group’s policy on liquidity risk is to ensure there are sufficient cash balances to meet the day-to-day needs of the organisation while investing surplus balances in fixed asset investments. ~~=~~ Market risk The group’s exposure to market risk arises primarily from the group’s fixed asset investments. The group’s policy is to utilise the services of professional investment managers to manage the fixed asset investments. Performance of these investments and therefore the investment managers is reviewed every month by the senior management team. The Finance, Growth and External Audit Committee have been appointed by the Board to oversee the performance of our investment managers. — Credit risk The group is mainly exposed to credit risk in relation to money due from commissioners in relation to its delivery of services. The vast majority of these commissioners have proved to be extremely credit worthy. Nevertheless, we operate a proactive credit control system designed to ensure payment is received quickly and that problems are identified as early as possible, and the appropriate action is taken. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

Foreign exchange risk The group does not have any significant exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Other risks

The impact of increasing inflation has been considered on the group’s future plans and budgeting processes, and the potential impact of this coupled with restrictions on future government spending, will continue to be a risk into the year-ending 31 August 2024 and beyond.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

FORMATION AND STRUCTURE OF THE CHARITY

Catch22 was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 28 April 2008. It was registered as a charity on 19 May 2008.

Its objectives, as stated in its memorandum of association, are: ‘to promote opportunities for the development, education and support of young people in need to lead purposeful, stable and fulfilled lives and to promote safer, crime free communities for the benefit of the public.’

We have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2). In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set, taking account of the available guidance on public benefit.

The trustees are satisfied that Catch22 has aims and objectives and carries out activities that are for the public benefit in that the support provided to individuals, families and communities directly benefits each of those groups and therefore the wider public.

Catch22 is the sole trustee of The Royal Philanthropic Society incorporating the Rainer Foundation and is the sole member of The Crime Concern Trust Limited. Both are charities. The Rainer Foundation has released its permanent endowment and is now dormant. Crime Concern is also now dormant.

Catch22 holds 100% of the share capital of Catch22 Social Enterprise Limited – dormant.

Catch22 owns 100% of Pupil Parent Partnership Limited, a company limited by guarantee – dormant.

Catch22 also owns 100% of Catch22 Social Enterprise Solutions Limited – does not trade but holds 49.49% of the membership of Public Services Lab LLP, a partnership focussed on delivering public service reform in the Liverpool City region.

Catch22 also owns 100% of Include, a company limited by guarantee - dormant.

Catch22 also owns 100% of Catch22 Multi Academies Trust Limited, a company limited by guarantee – advances education in the United Kingdom. This is achieved through the operation of alternative provision and specialist schools for those young people either excluded or at risk of exclusion from mainstream provision.

Catch22 also owns 100% of Community Links Trust Limited, a company limited by guarantee – charitable objectives include providing such information, advice and assistance, as is charitable, to groups and individuals. Currently delivers regulated advice services on behalf of the group.

Catch22 also owns 100% of Community Links Trading Limited - events management, production services and storage with any profits generated gifted to Catch 22 Charity Limited. Ceased trading in February 2023 and is windingup its affairs.

Catch22 also owns 100% of Ripplez CIC, a company limited by guarantee – no longer operating, winding-up its affairs.

Please see note 12 for disclosure of activities and performance of each subsidiary.

GOVERNANCE

Safeguarding

Catch22 is a diverse and dispersed organisation supporting some very vulnerable service users and we recognise that safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone. We are committed to ensuring that all staff are appropriately trained, including all operational staff receiving NOCN endorsed training, to ensure they are aware of the signs to look for. Catch22 has a dedicated Safeguarding team, responsible for ensuring policies and procedures are in place and offering safeguarding advice and training to services. The Assistant Director of Safeguarding reports into the Chief Officers Group and regularly reports to the Board of Trustees. The role is focussed on continuous improvement of our safeguarding practice.

In January 2024 the trustees appoint an Independent Safeguarding Trustee to be a member of the Governance, Risk and Internal Audit Committee, who will provide additional support and advice to trustees regarding safeguarding matters. This role, along with the Assistant Director of Safeguarding and other operational leaders, is a member of our Safeguarding Forum who meet regularly to discuss emerging trends, the effectiveness of our safeguarding practice and to share learning.

Each Catch22 service has a DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) and a Deputy DSL. These positions have received additional training and, where appropriate, training from their LCSP (Local Children’s Safeguarding Partnership) in order to fulfil these roles.

would expect given the nature of our work, primarily made up of disclosures made by the vulnerable young people and adults that we work with. Where appropriate these were escalated to the relevant safeguarding authority.

We have an IT platform for safeguarding incident reporting and management to improve communication and reduce the bureaucratic burden, both at the point of reporting and in the administration of monitoring, following-up actions, and trend analysis so that more resources can be focussed on keeping our service users safe.

Modern Slavery

Catch22 has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to endeavour to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.

We are also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our approach to tackling modern slavery throughout our supply chains, consistent with our disclosure obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We expect the same high standards from all of our contractors, suppliers and other business partners, and as part of our contracting processes, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced, compulsory or trafficked labour, or anyone held in slavery or servitude, whether adults or children. We also expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.

Over this financial year, there were various safeguarding incidents, as we

TRUSTEE BOARD AND COMMITTEES

The board of trustees are aware of its duty under Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in a way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely, as an organisation that exists to deliver public benefit, to promote the success of the charitable group to achieve its charitable purposes, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:

• a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,

• b) the interests of the company's employees,

• c) the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others,

• d) the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment,

• e) the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and

• f) the need to act fairly between members of the company.

On joining the board of trustees, a new trustees will be briefed on their duties, which are partly fulfilled through the governance structure set out below, including the delegation of day-to-day decision making to the Chief Officer Group. Trustees are also provided with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission ‘The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do’ and The Charity Governance Code.

All trustees embrace our vision to build a strong society, where everyone has good people around them, a purpose, and a good place to live and promote our organisational values to ensure:

we are compassionate – we care about people, supporting them to move forward

we empower others – we give people the knowledge, skills and opportunities to thrive

we are collaborative – we do things with people, not to them

we are curious – we explore, innovate and challenge to improve what we do.

The trustees consider that they have fulfilled their obligations under Section 172, as evidenced throughout this report.

An external governance review took place during the year and whilst the review evidenced strong governance practice is in place, the recommendations for further improvement are currently being implemented and progress is overseen by the Governance, Risk and Internal Audit Committee.

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

The Trustee board meets six times a year and has established three committees to which certain functions are delegated. These are: the Finance, Growth and External Audit Committee; the Governance, Risk and Internal Audit Committee; and the People and Performance Committee.

Each committee meets at least four times a year and reports back to the Trustee Board.

The committees monitor progress against goals and targets that flow from the strategic plan set by the Trustee board.

Catch22 complies with ‘Good Governance: A Code for the Voluntary and Community Sector’ issued by the

67

Governance Code Steering Group.

There is a scheme of delegation in place which sets out what matters are reserved for the trustee board and what is delegated to the chief executive and senior management.

Matters reserved for the board include (among others):

• Setting the charity’s strategy;

• Approval of the organisational business plan and annual budget;

• Approval of any changes to the group structure;

• Appointment of the chief executive

Matters delegated to the chief executive include (among others):

• Establishing joint working arrangements;

• Development of new services;

• Tenders for new contracts (with a value of up to £10m);

• Appointment of the executive management team

VALUING OUR TRUSTEES – RECRUITMENT, INDUCTION AND ONGOING TRAINING

The People and Performance Committee oversees the recruitment of Trustees and undertakes a periodic skills audit of the Board. Applications for Trusteeship are sought through open advertisement, use of a specialist agencies and personal contacts. Applicants are assessed against a trustee job description and shortlisted candidates are interviewed

by a panel of Trustees and appointed by the Trustee Board. Trustees are normally appointed for three years and may be reappointed for a further three years subject to agreement of the Board. A further three-year period is available if it is considered to be in the best interest of Board stability. The chair is also appointed for 3 years.

New Trustees are provided with induction meetings with key staff and are given a detailed governance pack. Arrangements are made for Trustees to visit Catch22’s projects and services. Trustees receive information newsletters, presentations on aspects of Catch22’s work and on matters affecting the voluntary sector.

Catch22 expects all those involved in its governance to make a reasonable commitment to ongoing development and training. This may involve away days, service visits, presentations and other internal functions as well as opportunities to attend relevant external events such as seminars, courses and conferences.

Catch22 also circulates publications of general interest and provides access to magazines, articles, newsletters, policy briefings and other documents of more specialist interest

SETTING PAY AND REMUNERATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

Setting Pay and Remuneration of key management personnel is the responsibility of the People and Performance Committee. In setting pay and remuneration, they consider performance management information and relevant benchmarks within the

sector.

68

ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR PEOPLE

We recognise that our people, both staff and volunteers, are key to the success of the organisation and to delivering the impact we seek for our beneficiaries. We engage with our people through a variety of channels to keep them informed, seek their views, encourage their involvement and develop common awareness. These channels include, amongst others:

• regular service visits by the Chief Officer Group and trustees,

• a monthly question & answer session with the Chief Office Group,

• an annual staff conference which trustees attend,

• a monthly newsletter, supported with information on our intranet,

• weekly email communication from the Chief Executive,

• an annual staff survey and regular pulse surverys

Information gathered by the senior leadership team is fed back to trustees via reports submitted to and discussions held at the People and Performance Committee.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

We recognise that relationships with business stakeholders are key to our success and long-term sustainability. Strong, collaborative relationships with our commissioners and funders enabled us to work with them during the pandemic to find new ways of supporting our beneficiaries and to respond to their changing needs. These relationships are also key to securing ongoing funding.

We also seek to engage with the wider sector through professional bodies and

interest groups to both seek and share best practice and collaborate on finding solutions to shared challenges.

We value all our suppliers and look to identify our key suppliers and put multiyear contracts in place and adopt a partnership approach to the relationship where any concerns are worked through together to find mutually beneficial solutions. We also have several small subcontractor organisations who deliver services on our behalf, and we adopt a supportive approach to contract management and help them to build their capacity.

We have also used our platform to incubate several fledging social enterprises focussed on delivering better social outcome and reforming public services.

ENVIRONMENT

We recognise the importance of minimising our impact on the environment and that environmental issues are a significant concern for both our people and those we support.

In April 2023, we recruited a Sustainability Coordinator as a dedicated resource to develop our environmental strategy. Since then, we have been working with suppliers and internal teams to develop initiatives that can help us minimise our environmental footprint and improve environmental reporting. Some of the initiatives include:

• Introducing new processes to improve data quality and quantity to feed into our Carbon Reduction Plan. This will allow us to measure our carbon footprint more accurately and establish a more holistic approach to reducing carbon emissions,

69

• Working with suppliers to improve environmental reporting and align processes towards becoming Net Zero,

• Working with Business Development to identify premises improvement funding opportunities, with a focus on sustainability,

• Identified and shortlisted software providers to analyse our carbon emissions, for better quality reporting,

• Encouraging environmentally friendly behaviours and Sustainable Travel by offering our employees the Cycle to work and Low Emissions Car salary sacrifice schemes.

• Establishing a Sustainability Champions network to allow collaboration and raise awareness across different areas of our organisation,

• Engaging contractors with high standard environmental credentials to roll out new waste and recycling services at sites where have control of waste collection. This also includes raising awareness and educating our staff to waste less and recycle more through active engagement.

Our consumption and emissions for 2022/23 were as follows:

ENERGY TYPE	CONSUMPTION	EMISSIONS
Gas	2,208,621 KWh	404 tCO2e
Electricity	748,002 KWh	155 tCO2e
Transport *	836,701 miles	224 tCO2e
Total Emissions		783 tCO2e

Intensity ratio per £m/turnover **

14.6 tCO2e

*Transport includes employee mileage claims, car hires, long-term vehicles leases and owned vehicles

** Turnover excludes MAT land & buildings transferred (2021/22 intensity ratio 11.9 tCO2e)

Our intensity ratio has increased due to increased use of buildings and more business travel following the transition in ways of working following the Covid-19 pandemic, but we are confident that the measures we are putting in place will reduce both our total emissions and the intensity ratio in the future.

70

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

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 are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

• 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.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 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 Group and charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Group for that period.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent

Financial statements are published on the Charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements, which may vary from legislation in other jurisdictions. The maintenance and integrity of the Charity’s website is the responsibility of the Trustees. The Trustees’ responsibility also extends to the ongoing integrity of the financial

• 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 the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained therein.

• inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.

71

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have in place a robust risk management process, which includes their overall risk appetite and their risk appetite specific to different risk categories. The process identifies the types of risks the charity faces, prioritises them in terms of likelihood of occurrence and potential impact, identifies the means of managing these risks and monitors how they are managed. Development and review of the risk management arrangements are the responsibility of the Governance, Risk and Internal Audit Committee who meet quarterly and review the risk register. The Chief Officer Group are responsible for managing risk across the organisation and receive regular updates from the Head of Governance and Risk at their monthly meetings on key risks, and they ensure that appropriate mitigating action is taken.

The internal audit programme is agreed annually with the Governance, Risk and Internal Audit Committee and focuses on the key areas of risk within the organisation. Audit findings and progress on implementing actions is reported quarterly to the committee.

The key risks identified by Catch22 at the end of 2023/24, which are largely unchanged from the previous year, together with the actions taken or intended to be taken in response to these risks are as follows:

RISK

MITIGATING ACTIONS

Failure to keep our service users safe.

Loss of income due to public sector spending cuts because of the macro-economic climate, in addition to rising costs due to inflationary pressure and the need to support staff through the continuing cost-ofliving crisis.

Established policies and procedures with clear training and staff competency expectations embedded throughout the organisation, monitored through regular supervisions and internal audit, overseen by Assistant Director of Safeguarding. Designated safeguarding leads appointed in all our services. Safeguarding incident management systems in place across the organisation Risk Forum established to quickly identify concerns and trends and implement mitigating action and Safeguarding Forum in place to share best practice.

Continued focus of resources in our business development and partnerships teams, maintaining our diversified income streams, keeping our quality high to secure repeat business and our costs competitive to ensure that our cost basis is sustainable over the longer-term. We also continue to be focussed on building and maintaining strong commissioner and funder relationships, securing an increased proportion of voluntary grant income and developing income streams from trading activity along with ensuring our support teams are appropriately structured and deliver value for money. Financial performance, future forecasts and our income pipeline is regularly monitored by the Finance, Growth and External Audit Committee.

RISK 7

Loss of commercially sensitive information through the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Increased likelihood of Local Authorities (LAs) going into section 114 measures (where forecast income is insufficient to meet forecast expenditure) resulting in LA’s looking to exit existing delivery contracts.

MITIGATING ACTIONS

Catch22 have created an AI working group, have updated existing policies and handbooks to advise of correct use of information, including issuing guidance around advocated systems to use – Copilot.

Assessment of at-risk Local Authorities within our delivery portfolio to understand and quantify organisational risk. Proactive conversations being had with LA leads on all existing contracts with particular focus on those contracts due to be retendered in the short-term and LAs where section 114 measures are already in place.
