Bransholme Cluster Programme Launched
In 2021, we launched our pilot 'cluster" programme in North Hull with the
support of the University OF Hull and this has proved extremely successful. The
changes that have been reported in the children that have taken part have been
remarkable and having the chance to experience multiple Hull and East
Yorkshire Children's University trips has created opportunities For the children to
learn new skills that they may not have learnt in school: discover talents that
they didn't realise they had and see places that they would have never had the
chance to see.
Thanks to a significant business donation, 2023 saw the launch of our second
cluster style programrne, this time in the Bransholme area OF Hull.
Bransholrne is one of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in Hull
and we wanted to build upon the success OF our other cluster to ensure that
children in this area experience as much as possible in one year. The cluster
forrnat is a more intensive programrne, with Year 5 children each attending 4
OF our experiences in one academic year.
Tripg are uJh8t we all remember from our
school d8yg.' If uje truly utilige them for the
benefits they hold. the long-lastin9 effects
Could be transformative.

HEY CU Children's Board
At HEY CU, we understand the importance of children's voices and
are committed to Finding ways to increase participation. One way
we do this is through our Children's Board of Trustees: an elected
group OF local schoolchildren, representing different areas OF Hull.
After meeting with the Deputy Lord Mayor For lunch at the
Guildhall. the children were introduced to the idea OF how they can
use their voices to make a change. They trialled our Spurn Point
experience alongside staff from the Matthew Good Foundation, who
had funded several OF these experiences across the academic year
and fed back their thoughts
The biggest responsibility came in March, when the Children's
Board invited our business partners and other representatives to
say thank you. 'Kids Say Thanks, was extremely successful: there
was not a dry eye in the room!
The children have even recorded a podcast at INIT Creative,
docurnenting their journey, which you can check out on our
YouTube channel! They are looking Forward to retaining their
positions for their Final year of primary school, having even more
of an influence on the experiences of the children we serve.

Tim's Surprise
Designed to honour the memory OF our founder, John Buttrick's, son, Tirn's Surprise
aims to bring an extra bit OF sparkle to the lives of children who have experienced
significant adversity. This could be (but certainly not limited to) bereavement, serious
illness, considerable caring responsibilities etc.
Primary schools were asked to nominate a child, whom they felt deserving of
something a bit special; we are delighted to announce that we managed to surprise
all thirty nominated children across Hull and East Yorkshire with thanks to some very
special companies, charities and individuals. Tailored to their specific interests, they
have been on trains, had art and craft sessions, pamper parties and football training
sessions, seen behind-the~scenes in some OF Hull's most historic and important
buildings, and much rnorel

Social Return on Investment
The Social Return on Investment (SROI)
method shows the value OF the social,
environmental and economic irnpact that has
been created by an organisation and is able
to show that value in financial terms. This
makes it possible to weigh social benefit
against the cost of investment.
The SROI methodology uses a spreadsheet
analysis called an Impact Map. Inputs,
outputs and outcomes are entered into the
map. The relationship between these
components is sometimes known as the
'theory of change, and shows how the
intervention makes a diFFerence.
Other information - indicators, quantity,
value (known as proxies) is also entered into
the map. Formulae calculate the final value in
monetary terms.

Background
Children in the care system are some of the most vulnerable in our
society, and they have oFten experienced significant trauma and
neglect. Children looked after are more likely to have low educational
attainment, mental health problems, and behavioural difficulties. They
re also more likely to become involved in crime and substance abuse.

Letterbox Club
Many children looked after have not had the early
exposure to books that other children may have
had, they are often reluctant readers and behind
their peers in reading ability.

The Letterbox programme aims to promote a love
of reading with high interest accessible books
whilst allowing children to irnprove and develop
their reading skills in a safe, secure environment.

To monitor progress, the children on the programme are assessed in
January and June OF each year using a standardised reading test. A
child's reading attainment can improve by up to 12 months in their First
6 months on the programme. This is due to specific targeted
intervention. The impact is that children become more confident and
engaged in the classroorn as they are able to access all areas ot the
curriculum. Reading accuracy and comprehension improves and children
develop a love of independent reading. One child on this year's
programme is now his school's Reading Ambassador!

CLA Learning Experiences
The CLA programme delivers experiences during half term periods,
including some weekends and evenings, to a maximum OF 12 children at a
time. This ensures we can support and nurture each individual child
throughout the experiences. With a special Focus on the social and
emotional development, we provide children with the extr(1 SUPVUI t Iieeded
to Flourish in each environment. Working closely alongside proFÈssionals,
we provide the stepping-stones to raise children's confidence levels,
motivation, teamwork and the ability to try new things.
We aim to support the development OF trhp.sp
children to give them essential skills needed
for everyday liFe. Our experiences are delivered
by our trained Learning Experience Leads and
are supported by a bank OF trained volunteers
from various backgrounds.

These experiences can help children to
develop their social skills and confidence,
and to build resilience. The CLA programme
is also a valuable opportunity For children
with care experience to make new friends
and to develop positive relationships with
adults. These relationships can help
children to Feel safe and supported, and to
believe in themselves.

Case Studies
Child A, who was new to the learnin9 experiences, was feeling
opprehensive about ottending. Having the confidence to ottend her
first experience was a huge borrier to overcome. On her first
experience, o visit to Forest School, she asked lots of questions on the
walk down to the woods and was not sure whot to expect. With little
experience of the outdoors, she was worried obout the mud, the
insects, ond was unsure how she would fill her time and moke
friends. As the doy unfolded, Child A began to overcome her initial
worries with the support of the other children and the HEY CU team.
She followed the lead of the other children os they explored the area
and begon immersing herself in the octivities. This was the first time
Child A hod ever ployed with mud, yet ofter some encourogement,
the doy was filled with laughter ond exploration os Child A
experimented with mud, water ond other natural materials. Child A
spent time being present and explored the orea looking for signs of
eorly spring. She was foscinated by the freshly sprouted grass ond
osked if she could lay down on it. She laid on the grass and wotched
os the blue sky emerged from behind the clouds, she said 'This is the
greatest doy ever. I feel so relaxedl,

Looking Ahead
Evaluation- In line with our new ACE Objectives, we will be revamping our
evaluation system, Focusing on both short time and long term impact. In the
short term, we will be aiming to take a more intensive approach and tracking
change over time. In the long term, we will be looking more closely at our
lasting impact when young people are in the final years OF education.
Eco experiences- We will open our own ECO classroom where we can
deliver a range of environmental and sustainability focused
experiences. These experiences will also Focus on "green careers" and
the paths to achieve them. We will introduce a new "Eco 8adge" for
our corporate supporters to involve them in this new line OF
experiences.
Added value to our experiences/quality- It is important to evaluate our experiences and
look at ways in which we can further the learning aFter an experience has taken place.
We will bring on a Learning Experience Manager who will expand our experience
programme and increase our oFferinR by creating content to be used back at school
after an experience has Finished
Propelling platform For children's voices- We strongly believe in giving children a "seat
at the table" and listening to their ideas and thoughts about the future. Our Children's
Board will continue into il's third year and the current cohort will spend a second year
as members. The first year focused on the reasons why it is important for children to
have a voice and a platforrn. The second year will focus on opportunities for the
children to use their voices to rnake a change.

Financial Review and Reserves Policy
In the last financial year, the Charity made the decision to align our financial
statements year end with that of the academic year end, because of this, last
st
accounting year reflects a 17-month period from l April 2022 to 31" August
2023. The charity's income and expenditure for this financial year is for a 12
month period, so this should be noted when comparing figures next to the
previous financial year.
Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University was a recipient of a substantial
donation in 2023. The donation has enabled the delivery of new projects. To
deliver the new projects, the Trustees have agreed to draw down from the charity's
reserves resulting from the donation. This is included in annual budgets and
designated funds.
The Trustees feel that the financial position of the Charity is considered to be
good at this point. Although making a deficit in the year of £36,411, they feel they
can explain this due to the planned use of reserves as above,
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.
The current level of reserves held within the Charity is £1,100,919 which is broken
into free reserves of £667,658, designated reserves of £300,000 and restricted
reserves of £133,261.
The last 12 months have given the Charity time to assess where best to allocate
reserves, to have the greatest impact on the children that they work with and allow
them to carry out work in line with our strategic plan. Whilst these reserves are
unrestricted, the Trustees felt it was important to ringfence some of these funds.
As many members of staff have been with the charity for a number of years,
redundancy costs would be high if the charity were to experience a significant
drop in funding. Therefore, the Trustees have ringfenced some reserves with this in
mind.

Following this, the Trustees agreed to allocate £300,000 of our current
unrestricted reserves as designated reserves for the following areas:
-school experiences
-children Looked After Programme
-core costs
We are comfortable that cash and deposit balances are maintained to be
able to meet outgoings and grant obligations from time to time.
The reserves policy is reviewed on an annual basis by the Trustees and the
CEO.
Principle Funding Sources
Our principle funding sources are made up from schools, fundraising
with local business partners, charitable educational activities and
fundraising activities, as well as grants, trusts and private philanthropic
donations.
