The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report
with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 April 2022 to 31 August 2023. The trustees have adopted
the provisions of 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
(reland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The academic year of 2022-23 saw a major change to Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University in early 2023 with the
departure of CEO, Natasha Barley, after leading the charity for 10 years. Following this departure, Rose James, who had
deputised for the CEO for a number of years, was appointed as CEO in July 2023.
This report provides an overview of the work and achievements of Hull & East Yorkshire Children’s University over the past
academic year, showing the breadth and depth of work undertaken to support the most disadvantaged children in Hull and the
East Riding.

Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University was founded in 1996. tt was a long-term ambition for the charity to
expand its reach into the East Riding of Yorkshire and, in 2016, thanks to funding from the British Foreign Schools
Society, Awards for All and the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, we were able to do this, becoming Hull and East
Yorkshire Children’s University (or HEY CU for short). The charity aims to raise the confidence, self-esteem and
aspirations of young people living in areas of high deprivation by providing a diverse range of unique and exciting
experiences that take place outside the classroom.
Our learning experiences are designed to ignite dreams for the future by engaging, inspiring, and educating young
people. Whether it is a visit to a local business to learn about industry and the vast array of career opportunities
available to them, or taking part in one of our larger trips such as visiting London for a day with a tour of Parliament;
or having a Kip on a Ship aboard the HMS Belfast; or visiting Edinburgh, all our children leave these experiences
feeling happy, excited and with new aspirations to carry with them into adulthood. We motivate and inspire them to ~
succeed and reach their full potential. In the 2022/23 academic year 11,800 primary school children from the most 56
disadvantaged areas of Hull and East Yorkshire took part in a range of Children’s University experiences. o

The city of Hull was cruelly hit during World War 2 as the second most bombed city outside of London. 95% of houses were damaged and 150,000 people became homeless.

In the latest Legatum Institute Prosperity Index 2021, Hull is ranked as 373” for living conditions out of 379 meaning only six other towns have poorer living conditions. Hull is ranked 361* for health, 365" for economic quality, 367" for Social Capital and overall 350" out of 370 places to live. Put simply, Hull is ranked towards the very bottom of all places in the UK to live. The index states:

“Hull has never really recovered from the loss of its fishing industry, the loss of prosperity from the sea. This industry once guaranteed jobs and income for entire generations. Education did not matter in the fishing neighbourhoods; life came from the trawlers. Prosperity has long since left these communities, which were relocated on masse to sweeping council estates where poverty and deprivation took hold. Decades later and little has changed. Hull underdelivers significantly on prosperity in six of the seven pillars of the Index, marking a deepwoven pattern of deprivation that extends beyond economic circumstance. Almost all of Hull is deprived. The more prosperous suburbs like Cottingham, with their different perspective, lie outside the city boundaries. Schools drawonly from their immediate area. Children grow up knowing nothing but their estate. Life and ambition do not extend beyond the limits of the estate.”

In the 2019 Index of Multiple deprivation, Hull is ranked the fourth most deprived city in the country, and an unemployment rate of 6.6% compared to a national average of 3.9%. The 2019 IMD also shows that levels of deprivation in the city remain the same as they were in 2015, even though Hull was the City of Culture 2017 which was expected to greatly improve the economy in the city. Most families that were living in poverty in 2015, were still living in poverty in 2019. Nationally, Hull has the fourth highest level of children living in income deprived households at 29.8%. In 2015, 15,629 children in Hull were living below the poverty line but by 2019, this figure had increased to 18,515 which means that one in every three children in Hull is now living in poverty. The increase has been driven by a sharp rise in the number of children living in poverty despite one or more of their parents working.

Hull has one of the highest proportions of children in care in the country. According to the NSPCC (2022), over 60% of children in care are looked after due to abuse and neglect and children in care are 4 times more likely than their peers to have mental health difficulties. 35% of care leavers were not in education, employment or training at 19 compared to 15% of the general population.

The East Riding of Yorkshire is one of the largest geographical authority areas in the country covering 933 square miles, with a population of over 342,215 people.

There are pockets of severe deprivation in Hornsea, Withernsea and especially Bridlington and Goole, where there are some of the highest levels of poverty in England with extreme economic and social problems, featuring low incomes, high unemployment, poor health, and low educational achievement. According to the Department for Work And Pensions (2021) 17% of children (9,407), live in poverty in the East Riding. Seaside resorts which used to be thriving are now amongst the poorest in the country with deprivation levels of nearly 27%.

Coastal and rural communities also face social isolation and lack of mobility limiting children’s life experiences and aspirations. Children living in poverty rarely leave their immediate community. They are less likely to travel out of their area or take holidays and have very little access to social and personal development opportunities, therefore have little knowledge of the world beyond the streets in which they live.

These children seldom get access to learning or development opportunities that support their wider education or ambition, and as a result grow up with a narrow view of the world and their fit within it. This can often lead to a cycle of unemployment and poverty.

Poverty impacts on what families can spend and most of the poorest families cannot afford to cover basic essentials, let alone send their children to out of school activities or other social development activities. Children in Hull, Goole, Bridlington and Withernsea often grow up knowing nothing but their estate and significant numbers rarely experience life beyond the deprived community in which they live. For families living in poverty, a trip toa museum for example, stretches the household budget and is therefore usually at the bottom of the list of priorities. These children do not get access to the social development and learning opportunities that children from more affluent areas of the country take for granted. As a result, they grow up with a reduced or narrow view of the world and their fit within it which contributes to the lack of aspiration and ambition across the city and perpetuates the cycle for another generation.

According to the Drawing my Future report published in January 2018:

“The Northeast has the best primary schools in the country, yet the region has the lowest adult employment rate.” Children’s Commissioner, Growing up North report

Children can only aspire to what they know exists. When no one in the family goes out to work, how can children begin to understand that getting an education that leads to employment is normal and the thing to do? We give children a glimpse of the wider world to show them opportunities that they do not know exist. Our charity widens access to education outside of the classroom to fire up ambition, motivation, and aspiration for their long-term future.

The long-term impact of what we do is to increase the children’s learning, emotional wellbeing, social interactions, and physical development alongside the increase in their knowledge and understanding of the wider world and the opportunities it has on offer. This will reduce the disadvantage they face.

The DfES report ‘Every Experience Matters’ states every experience provided for children in the world beyond the classroom has significant benefits for children’s learning, emotional wellbeing, social interactions, physical development and responses to their world. It also states that without these opportunities and experiences children are significantly disadvantaged.

We offer children learning opportunities outside of the classroom, learning by personal discovery in context and in practical ways with others, to develop a better understanding of the world and how they may fit into it. Children are able to see what the world has to offer and the opportunities that are available and understand howa better education leads to better employment, which leads to a better quality of[life][and][standard][of][living.][This][will][lead][to] increased motivation and aspiration to achieve greater educational achievement and long-term prospects.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 which 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

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the 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:

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

We complete an annual skills audit to make sure there are no gaps in the expertise of the Board. We have an ongoing focus of improving diversity on our Board and within our team. Each new trustee is issued with a handbook which details their duties and obligations and are closely supported by their colleagues through induction. Additional optional training for trustees is provided by Rollits LLP. All trustees are DBS checked.

Pay and renumeration

Annual pay reviews are conducted by the trustees and the CEO and are benchmarked using points of reference such as the NJC Scales and the Annual Charity Jobs Salary Report.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The trustees undertake a detailed risk review in which they consider the risks to which the charity is exposed and they have systems and procedures to manage this. The trustees have put in place a risk register which sets out key risks.

Finances and sources of funding

As most of our work is carried out in line with the school academic year, The Trustees took the decision to realign our financial reporting to reflect the school academic. Therefore, this report reflects a 17-month period from 1 April 2022 to 31 August 2023.

All future reports and accounts will run from 1°* September to 31° August each year.

The Trustees feel that the financial position of the charity is considered to be good at this point. Reporting income and expenditure covering a 17-month period shows an increase in both income and expenditure. In addition, we were very grateful to receive a generous donation in this period which has increased our reserves to 11 months of expenditure.

However, we have grown significantly over the past five years and have a much bigger team, so, considering the current economic climate, the Trustees are particularly mindful of the need to contain the risk that our charity cannot meet the payments to which it is committed, including significant redundancy costs should our income decline. Maintaining a good level of reserves ensures stability as we continue to grow.

We are comfortable that cash and deposit balances are maintained to be able to meet outgoings and grant obligations from time to time. The charity has a reserves policy which is reviewed on an annual basis. The reserves policy will be reviewed again next year and will once again reflect a normal 12 months of delivery and income and expenditure. At that point, we anticipate that reserves will have fallen back to around 9 months.

Principal funding sources:

Grants and trusts, corporate partnerships and community and events fundraising.

Corporat Grants Trusts Community

Grants and Trusts: £244,244 Corporate Partnerships and donations: £1,230,427 Community and events: £50,000

Fvaluating€ ota ImPactoOnTt

We ask all children engaged in Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University experiences to complete a questionnaire to evaluate the immediate impact of learning, personal development and wellbeing which relate to our five concepts described later in this report. Teachers also complete questionnaires at the end of our experiences.

Selection of Schools
Schools are identified using the following information sources; Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI),
number of free school meals, and rural/coastal isolation. The IDACI index reports what percentage of children
attending schools are growing up in the 20% most deprived postal codes in the UK. During the 2022/23 academic
year we took 11,830 children on 319 different experiences from 67 schools in Hull and the East Riding. Any additional
engagement with schools has not been included in the numbers for this academic year.
Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University delivers experiences that aim to broaden horizons, raise aspirations and
ignite dreams for underprivileged children, Our experiences are designed with the support of our experienced staff
who also have qualified teacher status, so always ensure that the experiences are educational and have links to the
national curriculum.
Our experiences are all categorised within our five concepts of learning: HEYCU

As part of our Careers and Opportunities concept, we have developed “HEY CU in the future” as one ofthe aims in our strategic plan is to expand our business experiences. HEY CU in the Future allows our business supporters to welcome children into their business premises and deliver an experience around their company; including “activity” stations themed around specific departments in the company. Many of the children we work have very little knowledge of the world of work, so we aim to expose them to different career paths at the earliest age possible.

Specific objectives for HEY CU in the Future experiences include:

We havea tried and tested format for all of our HEY CU in the Future experience which we adapt to each business so that we can create engaging activities focused around their company. Full classes of children rotate through a carousel of activities which each look at a different department of the business. They learn about the job roles at the company and do hands-on activities which give them an idea of what it is like to work there. These include interviewing candidates with HR, design activities with Marketing, pitches with Sales and crunching numbers with Finance. When possible, the children have a tour of the offices so they can see what the company does.

Some of the new HEY CU in the Future experiences added for 22-23:

In June 2023 we worked alongside the Hull KR Foundation to bring over 500 primary aged children to the Humber Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) event. This is the second Humber STEM STEM event that has taken place at Sewell Group Craven Park. The children took part in hands on STEM experiences and linked with a range of over 20 different businesses. The aim of the the event was to give children the chance to learn about as many different career opportunities as possible in one day, allowing us to expand our careers education aims as set out in our strategic plan.

A child from this year's event said: " My favourite part has been meeting people in STEM and learning about different companies where | could work when | am older”.

Following the success of our Book Vending Machine pilot in partnership with the Chaloner Children’s Charity, we rolled out another 15 machines to schools in the most disadvantaged areas of Hull and the East Riding, along with over 3000 books. This most recent roll-out attracted the attention of the national press, with The Times featuring the story both in print and on their radio station. A further 15 machines will have been delivered to schools by the end of the 2023/24 academic year, bringing the total to 30.

One of the aims of our strategic plan is to implement the “voice of the child” more in our work, so in the Autumn of 2022, we put together the very first HEY Children’s University Children’s Board of Trustees. We tasked our Children’s Board of Trustees with planning an event for the spring of 2023, which would let our partners know where their sponsorship goes and the difference that it makes. The children (who are from several different schools that we work with) were asked to plan the whole event, from designing posters, name badges, choosing the buffet and organising all of the content. They named the event “The Kids Say Thanks”. Representatives from our partner companies were invited to attend and the children all stood up and delivered their best speeches, poems and memories about the experiences that they have had thanks to the partner donations. The children were all absolutely fantastic and even did a bit of networking too! To hear what our work means to them was so moving and they encouraged companies to continue to support our work so that we are able to give these experiences to more children.

As part of our partnership with Northern Gas Networks (NGN), 1,118 children across 12 schools took part in Carbon Monoxide Awareness Sessions. Children in Key Stage 2 were visited by the NGN camper van and learned that you can’t smell, see, taste, hear or touch this “silent killer” The children also learned that certain appliances in the home need to be checked regularly by engineers to ensure that carbon monoxide isn’t leaking into the air.

Hull and East Yorkshire Children’s University currently has 158 active volunteers. In 2022 we moved over to a Volunteer Management system called Better Impact. The system has allowed us to create a calendar of opportunities for our volunteers to sign up to themselves as well as creating their own profile. Through this system we can track how active volunteers are and easily manage training and DBS checks.

It is important to us that we make our volunteers feel valued and appreciated as we could not deliver our experiences without their support.

For National Volunteer Week 2023 we put on an event in the grounds of the University of Hull to celebrate our volunteers. We had lawn games, music, food and awards for volunteers who had been nominated for special recognition by their peers. We have also implemented volunteer catch-ups which allow them to share their thoughts and help them to feel valued and appreciated.

Volunteer Case Study

“A friend told me about the Children’s University and after retiring from 43 years in education it appealed to me, | previously taught in quite deprived schools. The overall message of widening children’s horizons is one close to my heart.

| have had some amazing experiences alongside hundreds of children of various ages; the excursions to the many varied and contrasting places | feel, give as much to the adults on the day as they do to the children. | know | get enormous satisfaction from every visit no matter where it is to. The main reason I think is because | see children facing and overcoming some huge challenges. For example, one child on a day trip to London conquered going away without parents, first time on a train, first time on the tube, their escalators and visiting London, first time on the London Eye even though they were scared of heights, first time ona boat trip, first time seeing a live show in the theatre- the list can be endless but can’t really be measured except for the look on their faces and their chatter with friends. Every day visit is a day of first times and achievement of challenges. What is not to enjoy as one of the lucky volunteers witnessing all of this.

My own personal highlights have been visits to Opera House and theatre, trips on the river cruise and London Eye, local businesses, Bempton, Parliament, and the farm. I've enjoyed the more local ones too-the ambassadors and trawling.

There are approximately 200 primary aged children and 260 secondary aged children looked after by Hull City Council. These children are some of the most vulnerable in our society, and they have often experienced significant trauma and neglect. We deliver our CLA experience programme that provides children looked after with opportunities to participate in enriching and stimulating experiences during the school holidays. These experiences can help children to develop their skills and confidence, and to build resilience. They also give the children the opportunity to make new friends.

This academic year, 76 Children Looked After came on our experiences. We also worked with a further 158 Children Looked After through our Letterbox and Step Up Move On programmes. We aim to work with 250 Children Looked After annually by 2025.

“KW” joined the CLA learning experiences in early 2022 and was working with another member of the team on the Letterbox reading programme. A was 9 years and went into foster care during lockdown 2020. During the first half term experiences, A displayed some controlling behaviour towards staff and other children. A did not take direction or instructions well and wanted to do things in her own way, which was not always the safest or most appropriate way. A regularly upset other children through her language and actions and would not accept responsibility, always blaming others. A had little resilience and could not ‘bounce back’ once she had been spoken to about her behaviour. These are common behaviours from children who have experienced neglect, due to having little control in the past, they try to contro! new and overwhelming situations.

Over the course of a number of experiences, the expectations for behaviour and language were clearly set out for A. Staff ensured that information was ‘pre-loaded’ to A, so that she knew what to expect and when. A frequently attended experiences, and sometimes repeated similar activities to create a strong bond with staff and to provide a safe starting point for future, larger experiences. Positive reinforcement was used to encourage expected behaviour and she was given extra responsibility on experiences such as looking after tickets, helping children to their seats on the bus or at the theatre, explaining tasks to children new to the programme. These extra responsibilities, positive encouragement and relationships with staff helped A to feel safe and valued and over time, positive changes in A's behaviour was evident.

A now attends a range of experiences and is a complete joy to have on the programme. She understands the boundaries that we have set and shows a willingness to learn and improve. She is beginning to understand that the adults around her believe in her and want the very best for her. A has made new friends, looks after younger children and uses positive language and actions when working with others. She is very helpful and praises others for their achievements.

This academic year, our Letterbox Club Programme reached 98 Children Looked After across 39 schools in Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire and Grimsby. Our Letterbox roles are funded by Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, North East Lincolnshire Council and the University of Hull,

HEY CU work in conjunction with the Letterbox Club at the Book Trust to deliver this unique free reading programme for Children Looked After who require extra support to improve their reading ability, comprehension and confidence. Every month, each child will receive a free parcel of books and games which our co-ordinators will then utilise in the one-to-one reading sessions. These sessions are delivered fortnightly in schools and last for 45 minutes to an hour. We work with children from year 3 to year 7. The Letterbox Club is more than just a reading programme. It’s an opportunity to develop a life-long love of reading, learn new skills.

Children who live in the most isolated rural areas have the opportunity to have their Letterbox sessions inside our vintage VW camper van which we converted into a mobile classroom in 2021, thanks to funding from Northern Gas Networks. This was in response to the difficulties of finding a suitable space to do the sessions inside some of the smaller rural schools.

The Letterbox Club also offers free, bespoke learning experiences to Children Looked After. These experiences can include theatre trips, children’s festivals, writing workshops, arts and crafts sessions to name a few.

“) started the Letterbox programme in 2022, he was in year 3 and performing roughly 2 years below where he should be. He had recently been taken into care and had misseda lot of school. Due to this, he was extremely shy and anxious at the start and his behaviour in class was challenging. J could not write his own name and did not know all the letters of the alphabet. He struggled to read the simplest of books and would often refuse to try but he loved being read to and would follow the words with me as | read. We started working on the 100 high frequency words which he should have learnt in year 1, we did lots of games and activities and within 6 months he knew all of the words. We moved on to simple texts with repetitive words and story lines and as we read them together, he began asking to read a sentence on his own. This progressed further until he would only ask me to read when he didn’t know a word. | taught him how to use syllables to help him read longer words and he quickly picked up this skill. He absolutely adores books now! J is currently in year 4 and working around a year behind in reading. He has made excellent progress in his time on the programme and school have reported that he is managing his emotions better and his behaviour has improved dramatically as he is now able to access work in the classroom. “Amy Mercer, Senior Letterbox Coordinator

Step Up Move On is a programme that is designed to support Children Looked After throughout their secondary and higher education to help build confidence, self-esteem and support them to achieve their future aspirations. We deliver the programme in partnership with The University of Hull to tailor each session to help the young people on the programme to consider trying new experiences and inspire them to discover new opportunities.

Children begin the programme in Year 7 and attend at least three sessions a year: two at the University of Hull and one at another college or educational establishment. Each academic year, the students then move up through the programme, developing new strengths and skills to help support their studies and well-being. In year 10 the programme begins to focus more on individual interests, and we offer industry days or work experience opportunities. When the young people reach Year 11, they receive support to help them on their chosen college or career pathways. Once they have left school, students are able to have the opportunity to mentor the younger children beginning the programme and continue to receive our support with their transition to university and beyond.

| : ‘@4 S a 4 eis XS . In 2022, using a two-year grant from the Angus Memorial Trust, we were able to employ a part-time Arts Therapist to expand our support for Children Looked After. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a mode of expression and communication. Art therapists use art as a medium to address emotional issues which may be confusing and distressing. Arts therapies for children provides valuable tailored support to help children express themselves safely through sensory based therapy which, is a form of non-verbal communication. For children who may not be able to articulate thoughts, sensations, emotions, or perceptions, it is one way to convey what may be difficult to express with words. For children who have faced trauma, it provides a way to “tell without talking” when they are unable or afraid to speak about specific events or feelings. The Art Therapist has worked with 10 children who were referred by either a Designated Teacher or a social worker, and each of them have received 22 hours of art therapy.

Helping Hands Hardship Project

The cost-of-living crisis meant that many families were faced with the impossible choice between heating their homes or putting food on the table. As a charity that raises the aspirations of children, we are uniquely placed within the school communities across Hull to support families who are living in poverty. We made the decision to partner with Hull City Council, local businesses and other supporters to implement a scheme that will help families with their food and energy costs during these difficult times.

We identified that working poor families were particularly struggling to make ends meet as they are not in receipt of benefits. Therefore, we decided to offer support purely to working poor families that local schools referred to us. We asked schools what they felt that families needed, and they told us that anything to help with heating bills and food costs would really make a difference. We offered families £250 each towards either food, energy or split between both. In addition to this, we offered families new winter coats for their children, slow cookers for more economical cooking and energy saving lightbulbs.

We called the project the Helping Hands Hardship Fund and, together with the council, we raised a total of £112,000 thanks the support of 11 donors.

This year saw the pilot of the ‘Therapy Dog Project for Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire’ which was delivered in partnership with Underdog International. The project was funded by Alex DeWinton, who connected the two charities together to explore working together. The objective of the pilot was to place therapy dogs in schools which identified children who may benefit from therapy of this kind. HEY CU recruited volunteers and their dogs to sign up to the programme and Underdog International trained and placed the volunteers in schools. The pilot was a success, with 5 schools benefitting from therapy dog visits. Underdog International will be taking the project forward now that it has been launched in Hull.

“There is a little boy who Rebecca and Paddy the dog sees who is an ‘elective mute’ but he actually went back to get his teacher to tell her to come and see Paddy!”

New Website

After feedback from our stakeholder audit in 2021, some stakeholders commented that we could have a better website. Therefore, a key objective of our strategic plan was to create a new website that achieved the following:

-Better explains what we do -Is easier to navigate -Helps increase funding by making it simpler to danate and shows where donations go -Gives information about each experience and allows schools to request experiences

In October 2022 we launched our brand-new website and we fee! we have been successful in achieving the above aims. We have also received great feedback from our stakeholders.

This Christmas, Santa and his HEY CU elves delivered presents and a special festive breakfast to 463 children who attend schools in the most disadvantaged areas of Hull. Our “Breakfast with Santa” is a scheme exclusive to our corporate partners who fund the presents and come along on the day to surprise the children with them. Our elves were also very busy doing our “Doorstep Elves” Christmas drop offs for 20 families who had been nominated by local schools. These families were going to struggle to have a Christmas this year, so our elves brought «O them the ingredients for Christmas dinner and presents for all of the children.

dress as they took on Hull’s highest office block, the K2 Building, with a 200ft decent- it certainly isn’t for the

Spectators witnessed Luke, Spiderman, Superwoman and some of Santa’s elves making their way down the
side of the building from the Skygarden terrace on the 13th floor. The heavy rain added an extra challenge for
the abseilers, but all 12 of them made it down to the safety of the 2nd floor base where their friends and

The Way forward

We know that it can take just one experience to change the course of a child’s future and we are committed to providing as many different opportunities as possible for underprivileged children in Hull and East Yorkshire. We aim to have an impact for generations to come, as broadening horizons for children now will mean that they will also know what is out there for when they have their own children. We have some very exciting plans for the next academic year which include:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University (the 'charitable company’) for the period ended 31 August 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

[n our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditors’ 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 Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of[the][Independent][Auditors][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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.] We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the 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][Report][of][the][Trustees.] We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 trom branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns, or - certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement ofTrustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation ofthe 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. 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 ofusers taken on the basis of[these][financial][statements.] We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

Audit response to risks identified

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in relation to revenue deferrals. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK). we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, UK Corporate Governance Code and local tax legislation.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

Audit response to risks identified

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

L. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the 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) (effective | January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

Income received for services provided is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Cash donations, gifts and legacies are included in full in the income and expenditure account as they are received, Any significant non-cash donations are included in the income and expenditure account at the trustees’ estimate of their market value when received. The value of voluntary help is not included in the accounts.

Grants and other funding of a revenue nature are deferred and released to the income and expenditure account over the period to which they relate.

Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on an accruals basis.

Expenditure

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 the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Motor vehicles - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on reducing balance

Taxation

Fund accounting Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of[the][trustees.] Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of[the][nature][and][purpose][of][ each][fund][is][included][in][the][notes][to][the][financial][statements.] Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.

1ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the Charity's best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results ultimately differ from these estimates. The Charity docs not consider there to be any material estimates and judgements.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other debtors and creditors, are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
