Trustees' Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements of CPotential Trust operating as CPotential (the charity and the group) for the year to 31 December 2024. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity and the group comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity and the group’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the charity and the group qualify as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors Report) Regulations 2013 is not required for this charity. The reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report.
Structure, governance, and management
CPotential is a well-established charitable organisation, originally founded in 1963 as The Hornsey Trust for Handicapped Children. The charity was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (Company Number 05848363) and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. On 31 December 2008, the original trust was formally dissolved, with all assets transferred to the incorporated entity.
The charity is overseen by a Board of Trustees, who hold the authority to appoint and remove Trustees. The Board meets five times annually, with additional sub-committee meetings held throughout the year to support effective governance. The day-to-day management of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Leadership Team, which comprises the CEO, Manager of Clinical Services, Director of Resources, and Director of Finance. Two of these senior roles are part-time positions.
To strengthen financial governance and strategic oversight, the charity operates a Finance and Investment Committee. Chaired by Tim Hammett, its members include Chris Gilbert (Chair of Trustees), Brett Parker (Chief Executive Officer), and Agnieszka Kosacz (Director of Finance). The committee meets monthly to review financial performance and projections in detail and to make informed investment recommendations to the Board.
Trustee recruitment is conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure the Board maintains an appropriate balance of skills and experience. An open recruitment process is used, with a structured induction for new Trustees. This includes interviews with the CEO and Chair of Trustees, the opportunity to observe a Board meeting and charity activities, and access to key documents such as Board minutes and relevant guidance from the Charity Commission.
Objectives and activities
The Trustees consult the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when assessing our goals and planning future activities, ensuring alignment with our objectives. The Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
Our primary mission is to provide vital therapeutic services and holistic support to children, young people and their families/ caregivers grappling with movement disorders, including cerebral palsy. We seamlessly and holistically blend physical, occupational, and communication therapies into our work. Guided by the ethos that every child holds the potential to learn, thrive, and cultivate confidence, skills, and self-reliance, we dedicate ourselves to nurturing their mobility, motor skills, sensory perception, communication abilities, emotional wellbeing, problem-solving prowess, and self-sufficiency. Crucially, we integrate these skills into practical applications, fostering a path toward independence.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
In 2024 the charity fulfilled its aims and objectives by providing services as follows:
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy sessions promote movement, balance, and confidence through regular, structured activity. By strengthening muscles and joints, we help reinforce stability and improve positioning. Using evidence-based task raining, we make sessions engaging and motivating, encouraging meaningful repetition to enhance motor functions such as walking. We also offer personalized intensive physiotherapy tailored to both pre- and postSDR surgery, supporting each individual's unique journey to greater mobility and independence.
Iona’s mum “Our Physiotherapist was prepared and knew exactly what they were going to work on with my child. This intensive block was so beneficial, and everything was engaging for my child. I love her relationship with the therapist and how much she is encouraged!”
Upper Limb Therapy
We integrate Upper Limb Therapy, including Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) and Bimanual Skills Training, into many of our sessions to support the development of hand and arm function. Our tailored therapy packages focus on enhancing hand skills in children with motor disorders, helping them gain confidence and independence in everyday tasks.
Music Therapy
Thanks to the generous and ongoing support of The Amy Winehouse Foundation and BBC Children in Need, our Music Therapy service continues to make a powerful difference in the lives of the children we support. Music becomes a joyful and meaningful way for children to express themselves, nurturing their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Through creative exploration, children build confidence, strengthen self-esteem, and discover new ways to connect with others. As a therapeutic tool, music also offers a safe and supportive space to address behavioural and emotional challenges,helping each child grow and thrive.

Mohamed’s mum “We have really been enjoying the Nurturing Notes sessions. My son is vulnerable due to his prematurity, so we appreciate the small group size. Jess is a wonderful facilitator and she pays attention to each child in the group and keeps them all involved.”
Conductive Education : is a life-changing approach that empowers children to reach their full potential. By nurturing physical, cognitive, and social development all at once, it fosters greater independence and boosts self-esteem. This dynamic program enhances mobility, coordination, and motor skills, making everyday activities more accessible and enjoyable. Beyond skills development, it creates a supportive community, connecting children and families with others who share similar journeys. Through Conductive Education, children gain valuable social interaction skills, form lasting friendships, and experience the joy of growing stronger and more confident, all while having fun along the way.
Sophia’s mum “Will (in Conductive Education) has really helped Sophia overall, not just with walking, but with standing, balance and coordination, all while having nice conversations with her. Will also encouraged us to use Makaton sign language at home to enable Sophia to explain things herself. He is also the first person to try tripod sticks for Sophia, and a pure joy to see her trying her best walking with them.”
Occupational Therapy : is a dynamic, evidence-based practice that combines scientific precision with motivational strategies to help children and young people overcome barriers and achieve functional independence. Through tailored interventions rooted in developmental neuroscience and task analysis, OT empowers individuals to master complex motor, cognitive, and sensory skills essential for everyday success. Whether refining bilateral coordination for tool use or implementing sensory-motor strategies to regulate behavior and attention, therapists use structured, goal-driven activities to drive measurable progress. This technical yet nurturing approach builds confidence, resilience, and autonomy—equipping each child not only to meet developmental milestones but to thrive in home, school, and community environments.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Halle’s mum “Our sessions at CPotential are helping Halle to improve her overall development, and we are eager to see what she achieves in the months to come. Going to CPotential means that Halle has a safe and welcoming environment, that we as a family can learn new exercises to help her become more independent.
Galileo Whole Body Vibration Therapy : An innovative vibration therapy using the full range of vibration platform, tilt table and dumbbells, each plays a vital role in our physiotherapy sessions. The children loved the sensory feedback that vibration gives alongside key benefits to boost a child’s mobility and independence: reduces spasticity, improves motor function, improves muscle control, improves balance, improves circulation, builds bone density.
Mollii Suit Assessment and Fitting is an assistive technology that helps relieve spasticity and improves muscle control.
Speech and Language Therapy is a highly specialised and empowering intervention that supports children with complex needs, including those with cerebral palsy, in developing essential communication and feeding skills. Grounded in the science of language development and neuromotor function, therapy sessions are tailored to each child’s unique profile, targeting speech clarity, language understanding, expressive communication, and safe swallowing. Therapists use evidence-based methods such as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), oral-motor exercises, and play-based interaction to unlock each child’s potential. This approach not only enhances communication confidence and social participation but also strengthens cognitive and emotional development—giving children the voice and tools they need to connect meaningfully with the world around them.
Maia’s mum, Ana “One of my most memorable days at CPotential, in our journey with Maia, was that after many speech and language therapy sessions and a lot of effort, she said ‘Dad’ for the first time!”

What our families have said about out intensive therapy blocks.
“Khari was definitely more stable and stronger by the end of the last session of our intensive block. It was a great learning experience for us as a whole family. Khari’s mum
“This was the first 2 week intensive we've done at CPotential and it was brilliant. Lola made such good progress in week 2, and we were impressed with how closely Manthan and Sakshi (Physiotherapists) worked together to ensure Lola was working on the same skills. It's lovely that the therapists really know Lola now which makes therapy a lot easier. We'll be back! Lola’s mum
“The whole week was amazing, but seeing Stanley tackle the parallel bars climbing over boxes underneath and then trying to climb the stairs, he really made me proud! Everyone at CPotential is always friendly and welcoming and so very professional. Sessions were well focussed and clear objectives were set. There were fun sessions, but changes made to keep challenging Stanley, which is just what he needed. I only wish we’d come to CPotential years ago, as we’ve reached higher goals here than anywhere else. I guess once you know better, then you can do better. Looking to the future not the past.” Stanley’s mum
Financial review
Finance and Investment Overview
The Finance and Investment Committee continued to provide diligent and strategic oversight of the charity’s financial performance throughout the year. Through regular review of monthly management accounts, and the implementation of enhanced tools such as trend analysis and scenario planning, the Committee ensured that CPotential remained well-positioneld to navigate financial challenges and plan effectively for the future.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Income
Total reported income for the year reached £875,938 (2024), compared to £601,620 in 2023—an increase of £274,318, largely attributed to the successful sale of a property. Excluding this exceptional item, underlying income stood at £581,066. While this reflects a modest year-on-year decrease, it occurred within the context of external uncertainty linked to Haringey Council’s during the recapitalisation process. Encouragingly, early indicators for 2025 show strong momentum, with income projected to rise to £800,000—reflecting renewed confidence and growth in our funding streams.
All income generated has been directed toward delivering the charity’s core objectives and further developing a strategic, sustainable business plan designed to enhance long-term impact for our beneficiaries.
Expenditure
We are pleased to report that overall expenditure was carefully managed and remained broadly stable year on year, at £1,055,656 in 2024 compared to £1,018,849 in 2023. This includes an increase of £90,819 in rent costs, demonstrating our ability to absorb rising operational costs while continuing to prioritise service delivery and operational efficiency.
Financial Position
The charity recorded a significant improvement in its financial position, with the annual deficit reduced to (£179,718) in 2024 from (£593,197) in 2023. This positive shift is largely due to the one-off income from the property sale, and it reflects both our proactive financial management and our commitment to building a more sustainable future for CPotential.
Fundraising Income
Our fundraising income was reduced. This was due to the aforementioned details in the recapitalisation £268,142 (2024) v £336,256 (2023) However, encouragingly we are on target to achieve £448,000 of fundraising in 2025.
Recapitalisation
In the 2023 accounts, the Trustees reported that the completion of the charity’s recapitalisation was delayed due to planning issues with Haringey Council. While we had anticipated finalising this process by the end of 2023, it was ultimately concluded in early 2024. These unforeseen delays—coupled with a challenging commercial property market shaped by rising interest rates—unfortunately impacted the final sale value. The property, originally expected to sell for £1.85 million, was ultimately sold for £1.45 million.
We can now confirm that, following continued delays from Haringey Council, the sale was successfully completed in March 2024. While this brought much-needed closure to a prolonged process, the extended period of uncertainty significantly disrupted our fundraising efforts during the year and placed additional strain on financial planning.
Despite these challenges, the completion of the sale marks a turning point. It allows us to move forward with greater clarity and renewed focus on long-term sustainability. With the recapitalisation now behind us, we are confident in our ability to rebuild momentum, strengthen income streams, and continue delivering vital services to children and young people with complex needs. The Trustees remain committed to ensuring that CPotential emerges from this period with greater resilience and an ambitious, forward-looking strategy.
Bearing the above in mind, and after making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees are confident that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence. For this reason, it is considered appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies in Note 1 to the Accounts.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Plans for 2025 and beyond
Our decision to expand our service capacity continues to prove advantageous. We maintain our confidence that our income will grow, and our losses will decrease throughout 2025 and beyond. Our projections indicate that we are on track to reach an underlying breakeven by 2026.
-
In 2025, we will persist in monitoring our progress and strive to achieve the following objectives:
-
Attain financial break-even by the fiscal year 2026
-
Triple the number of in-house interventions or referrals by 2026
-
Triple the number of individuals we empower by 2026
-
Continue to enhance and diversify the skills and expertise of the Board and the Executive Team
We will continue to develop our strategy to generate growth:
-
Exploring additional areas where our services are needed
-
Developing new fundraising streams that can support our work
-
Pushing forward with our multidisciplinary integrated therapies and embedding impact measures
-
Continuing to introduce innovative technologies and effective soft support services that are interconnected.
Risk management
Trustees consider a risk assessment register at every meeting, and this is regularly updated and reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team. This constitutes a regular review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. AII of these risks are identified and placed on the register. Where appropriate, systems or procedures are established to manage the risks the charity faces.
The culture of the charity is that risk management systems are absorbed into the organisation's daily operations through regular discussion by the Senior Leadership Team and through our policies and procedures. Internal control risks are minimized by the implementation of procedures for the authorization of all financial transactions and projects. Procedures are also in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety and wellbeing of staff, children, and visitors to the charity.
Investment policy
A specialist Trustee investment subcommittee examines the best use of our reserves and develops an investment policy which reflects our needs.
The Investment & Finance Committee is responsible for and ensures that regular reporting procedures are in operation to monitor the performance of all investment related affairs of the Charity.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have determined a reserves policy in the light of the need to maintain a secure and predictable provision of services to young people with disabilities. Specifically, the policy is to seek to maintain sufficient free reserves to allow the charity to cope with seasonal variations in cash flow and with the types of unexpected expenditure and non-receipt of budgeted income that can typically occur in a charity of our type and size. Having analysed the risks of such eventualities occurring, the Trustees believe that a general reserve of minimum of 2 months budgeted total expenditure for the current year is appropriate. This equates to minimum cash reserves of £120,000. With recapitalisation this amount will be met.
Over the next 24 months, our strategy and business plan will allow us to secure sustainable and effective services; fundraising activity and designated reserves will be used to facilitate the growth of new resources, people, and equipment.

Trustees' Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Remuneration of senior staff policy
Our policy is to seek to pay key staff at a level that is competitive in the employment market to be able to attract and retain high quality personnel who will contribute to the expansion and strategic direction of the charity. The Trustees approve the salaries budget for each calendar year before the start of the year. The Chair of Trustees decides any changes in the Chief Executive’s salary based on a review of performance against the objectives set for the foregoing period and available budget. The Chief Executive approves the salaries of other key staff considering, their performance, current market rates and available budget.
Related parties and connected organisations
There are no issues regarding related parties and connected organisations.
Guarantees
Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantors at 31 December 2024 was 10. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charitable company.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report 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 . 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 Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Chair of Trustees' Letter For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
Accompanying the 2024 Annual Accounts for CPotential Trust
Dear Supporters and Stakeholders,
It is with great pride that I present the 2024 Annual Accounts for CPotential Trust. Over the past year, we have made significant progress in delivering our mission, supported by the dedication of our team, the resilience of our beneficiaries, and the generosity of our supporters. Despite a challenging external environment, we have successfully strengthened our services, expanded our reach, and enhanced our financial sustainability.
The Trustees are pleased to report the successful conclusion of the recapitalisation process through the sale of surplus property assets. While this process, as reported last year, involved considerable delays and costs, its completion in 2024 has enabled us to refocus on what matters most—delivering life-changing services. As a result, we are proud to have achieved a 18% increase in the number of sessions our clients attended during the year.
After navigating these complex challenges, the charity remains firmly on track to meet its sustainability target for 2026. This achievement is a testament to the diligence of our skilled service teams, our management, and the unwavering support of our donors and partners, to whom we express our heartfelt thanks.
The needs of the children and families we support continue to grow, and we remain fully committed to meeting those needs, driving innovation, and exploring new ways to deliver holistic, impactful services. Together, we are building a stronger future for every child we serve.
Sincerely,
Ge a Christopher Gilbert Chair of Trustees, CPotential

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
1. General information
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
CPotential Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees have assessed the charity’s current and projected financial position and, despite the challenges faced by many in the sector, are confident that the charity remains a going concern.
This confidence is based on:
-
Expenditure Management: The charity has implemented efficiency measures and technology solutions resulting in projected cost savings in 2025 compared to 2024.
-
Growth in Beneficiary Services: The number of beneficiaries using our services continues to increase year on year, strengthening the charity’s impact and profile.
-
Fundraising Performance: Enhanced fundraising activities and increased recognition have resulted in a projected rise in fundraising income in 2025 compared to 2024.
These positive trends are expected to continue into 2026, supported by ongoing growth in beneficiary numbers and services delivered.
In consequence, the trustees have prepared the financial statement on a going concern basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Voluntary income received by way of donations are included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Intangible income is recognised as an incoming resource where the provider of the service has incurred a financial cost. Volunteer time is not included in the financial statements.
Income from the sales of goods is accounted for when the goods are sold.
Grants are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.
Nursery, school and special care fees shown in the statement of financial activities are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees received in advance are included in creditors as deferred income.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
2.4 Expenditure
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the basis of the full-time equivalent number of staff working in each activity.
Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity's activities.
The costs of generating funds relate to the cost incurred by the group and charity in raising funds for the charitable work.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Governance Grants
Grants that become receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the company are recognised as income in the period in which it becomes receivable on an accruals basis and recognised immediately in profit and loss.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Freehold land and buildings | - | 2% |
|---|---|---|
| Building improvements | - | 5% |
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% |
| Furniture and equipment | - | 33% |
2.8 Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
2.9 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.11 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.12 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.13 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
2.14 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purpose.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of support costs.

In the year ended 31 December 2023 an investment of £Nil, after historic impairment, and an intercompany loan of £175,968 had been written off due to the subsidiary, CPotential Trading, being put into voluntary liquidation in October 2023. The intercompany loan originated in 2016, following a strategic restructuring of the trading division. Over the subsequent six years, multiple initiatives were undertaken to enhance the subsidiary's market presence, sales figures and reduction of overheads. Nonetheless, the subsidiary's performance was adversely impacted by the post-pandemic challenges facing the high street retail sector, notably the competition from online retailers.

The carrying amount of the property, and other fixed assets included within the sale, at the date of sale was £1,016,733. The profit on disposal resulted in a gain of £294,872, after legal fees and present value adjustments. This profit has been recognised in the statement of financial activities in the year ended 31 December 2024.
Simultaneously, the company entered into a lease agreement to lease back the property for a term of 15 years. The lease has been classified as an operating lease under FRS 102, as the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred to the buyer/lessor.
