2025-27 s￿tegy, ensuring continued cfrproduotion of services with young people and d¢eper impact
across London and the UK.
Looking Ahead
At the ¢nd of the reporting period, Hope for the Young had developed a new strategic plan for 2025-
27, setting an ambitious direction for the organisation. Our strategy focused on three priorities..
Impn¥ving serylc¢ quality by increasing capacity in mentoring and grants. streamlining
internal processes. improving user experience, and furt])¢r embedding youth participation and
lived experience in de¢ision-makin8.
Expanding advocacy alld grant provision through diversified and targeted funding streams,
additional funding rounds, and the redesign of advocacy services to provide more holistic,
longer-temi support.
st￿ngthenIng organisational sustainability by enhancing monitoring and evaluatioll
frameworks, iiivesting in staff and volunteer development. and diversifying income to reduce
reliance on short-temi funding and increas¢ long-terni resilience.
These priorities r¢fle¢t our commitrfteiit to d¢livering responsive, liigh-quality support to young people
seeking sanctuary, while maintaining organisational stability.
Update Since the Reporting Period
Sinc¢ the end of the reporting period, th¢ extemal operating environment has become significantly inore
challenging. Political polarisation and increased ai)ti-migrant rhetori¢ ￿]d protests have Coincided with
tigjitening funthaising landscape, and w¢ were not successful in securing funding from some major
applications.
In addition. several multi-year grants are due to end in early 2026, inereasing financial uncertainty. As
a resulL we have noi been able to progress all areas of our Slrategy at the pace originally planned. Our
focus during this period has been on protccting service quality. safeguarding vultterable young people,
and ¢llsuring that future growth is sustainable. Due to high waiting lists for both mentoring and grants,
we are prioritising the continuation of Core frontline services while ￿efullY managing expenditur¢.
In addressing these risks, we have also strengthened internal systems and governance, including
enhanced financial plallning and scenario modelling tighter cost controls, and more frequenl strategi¢
oversight by trustees. These measures ¢nsur¢ resources att directed where they will have the greatest
impact and maintain our wsition as a tnJst¢d and reliable partner.
We remain comtnitted to the Ion8-term goals of our strategy and continue to adapt our delivery plans to
ensure Hope for the Young remains sustainable and responsive to the needs of young peopl¢.

experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. The estimates and underlyingi assumptions are r¢view¢d on an ongoing basis. Revisions lo

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Di￿tionS given by the Charity

comparison of the accouiits presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any uiiusual
items or dis¢losur¢s in tlie accounts and seeking explanations from you as Irust¢es Concerning any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all thc evidence that would be required in an audit
nd consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'lrue and fair view. and the
report is limited to those matters set out in the next ststsment.
