And a bank of volunteers in the schools’ team, detached team, and Rehoboth team.
JAC is extremely grateful for the on-going work and commitment of its staff and volunteers. During 2023/24 volunteers have contributed over 8809 hours of voluntary mentoring, stables & gardening and back-office support, valued at over £150,025 based on the median gross hourly rate for full-time workers of between £16 & £25 per hour (depending on the job). An additional 23,000 hours of paid employment means JAC has been able to meet its objectives and provide a valued service to the community.
NETWORKING AND LIAISON WITH OTHER AGENCIES
JAC values networking with other agencies taking an active role in community and strategic planning and partnership. Partnership working with Social Care and SEND in Wokingham, Bracknell and Reading continues to grow as JAC is a recognised and valued Alternative Provision for children and young people with additional needs and Post 16 provision. Likewise, good relationships with schools and parents continue to develop as JAC provides support through services at Rehoboth and the JAC in a Box shop. JAC continues to work with churches, voluntary and statutory agencies, and community groups for the well-being of our children and young people.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT, NIGEL PRESTON
In writing this report I’m very pleased to state that JAC as an organisation continues in good health. You’ll see the detail of the year in the sections to follow but let me review 23/24 from the trustees’ point of view.
I must begin with people and say that we have been operating around our maximum intake of young people throughout the year, both in Rehoboth and at JAC in a Box. We are also working with a small but increasing group of post 16-year-old students. In addition, we also have a small team of volunteers mentoring students in one of our local secondary schools.
Through contact with individual young people, and through some of them bravely speaking at public sessions, it is very clear that we are making a profound difference in many individual and family lives. I’m always sad that our services are so necessary as it means so many young people are struggling, but I am proud that we can help in making positive change.
This wonderful work is only possible through the commitment, skills and, often, great patience, of our brilliant group of staff and volunteers. No year seems to pass without a certain amount of change in our personnel and this year has been no exception. But God has blessed us with excellent candidates coming forward and through the willingness of staff and volunteers we have covered

vacancies as they have arisen. I’m sure most of those reading this report will already know that Naomi gave birth to a baby girl in November, we wish the family much blessing in the future.
From a governance point of view there have been no issues, and I’m pleased to say that we have been able to consolidate some of our policy work using expert consultants. Financially this has again been a good year; you will see that we have produced a healthy surplus which we are in the process of investing in additional facilities in Rehoboth.
I want to take the opportunity to thank all those individuals, organisations and churches who have supported us in terms of time, materials or financially; without that support we could not offer the vital services we do. It has been wonderful to be in Rehoboth when local companies have sent groups of volunteers to help with the maintenance and development of the site.
I can also report that a generous donor provided the money for the huge new marquee which arrived in early summer. As well as its use by our young people we have already used it to hold two very successful public meetings and as a base for corporate volunteer days.
There have been issues with both the planning authority and with the lease on the land at Rehoboth. Again, both these matters are in the process of being resolved, but some of these issues do prove to be something of a test of our faith.
We have now been operating for 26 years and as trustees we want to honour God who we believe has enabled JAC to go from strength to strength and to honour the vision and vitality of Yvonne and Sam Milligan in constantly driving us forward.
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REPORT, SAM MILLIGAN
A Message from Sam: Growing, Strengthening, and Expanding Our Impact
First and foremost, I want to pay tribute to our incredible staff, trustees, and volunteers. Their commitment and readiness to go the extra mile are what make JAC the caring and professional charity it is today. While much of JAC’s work happens at Rehoboth, with an average of 130 young people attending each week, it’s important to remember that our dedicated staff and volunteers are making a difference in other places as well. The Schools’ Team in Maiden Erlegh School provide essential services every Friday, tirelessly working to support children and young people. Similarly, the JAC in a Box team at the shop are seeing increasing numbers of young people coming to the training hub, where they reconnect with the community and gain skills for employment in a safe, supportive environment. If you haven’t visited the shop yet, it’s a unique and welcoming place that stands out in Wokingham town.
Though our team is growing, we remain small, meaning every change has a significant impact. The urgent need for additional staff to cover sickness, annual leave, and unforeseen events underscores the dedication and energy it takes to sustain our work. We’ve been fortunate to engage more companies in corporate volunteer days doing gardening and general maintenance at Rehoboth, bringing invaluable support that keeps our site welcoming for all who come through our gates.

Addressing Our Growing Needs: A Crossroads Moment for JAC
Over our 26-year journey, JAC has encountered many crossroads, and we’re now at another pivotal juncture. I begin this year’s report by revisiting a key theme from last year: the urgent need for more staff and space. The demand for our services, especially in post-16 SEN education, is growing, but we remain committed to maintaining our one-on-one mentoring sessions. With our 13-acre site at Rehoboth feeling increasingly stretched, especially with our programmes experiencing year-on-year growth, we are constantly considering how to meet the rising demand and how to make room for more children. We find ourselves asking: What do we do next? How do we do it? And when?
Then, last November, the Rehoboth centre faced a potential crisis when our landlord considered invoking a 10-year break clause in our lease. Any potential changes in our lease could have forced us to relocate within three to five years. Although the landlord ultimately decided to maintain the current arrangement, the event underscored our vulnerability. Our service supports numerous children and young people, and we have our horses and other animals, that depend on us. The uncertainty of our situation sent shockwaves through the entire organization.
In response, rather than retreating, we began envisioning a secure, expanded future. This led us to seek guidance from the Lord and explore options for increased space and resources. Together with our trustees and senior management, we set out on an exploratory journey to expand our resources, secure property, and strengthen our foundation for future generations. A guiding source of encouragement has been Isaiah 54:2-3 (Amplified Version):
“ Enlarge the site of your tent [to make room for more children]; stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not spare them; lengthen your tent ropes and make your pegs (stakes) firm [in the ground]. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; and your descendants will take possession of nations and will inhabit deserted cities .”
We know we cannot help everyone, but with the continued support of our community, local businesses, and others, maybe even some we haven’t met yet, we believe we can “ make room for more children .” We are excited to see what this next chapter holds and grateful for the journey ahead, hoping you will continue to walk with us and share the vision with those you know as well.

INCOMING RESOURCES
The bulk of incoming resources were used to cover the cost of delivering 1:1 and group sessions. The grounds of Rehoboth continue to be developed and improved with the help of volunteer labour. The development plans for the admin loft space and new reception area have not progressed further due to lack of time, and the small animal enclosure and workshops are 2/3 completed.
A general breakdown of income shows five main funding streams –
| JACPot 16.8% of total general income |
The JACPot funding initiative supports the general work of JAC and to enable expansion of work with a distinctively Christian emphasis. The JACPot consists of regular monthly income and one-off donations from churches and individuals. £104,691 was received through the JACPot fund showing a very slight decrease on thepreviousyear’s £106,476. |
|---|---|
| Grants, Trusts and Companies 1.5% of total general income |
There was Grant, Trusts and Companies income of £9,500 compared to £46,114 the previous year, showing a large decrease. This funding stream is generated through fundraising applications and is sometimes restricted for a specific piece of work– there is no guarantee that this income will be secured fromyear toyear. |
| Project work 77.9% of total general income |
Project work income comes from ‘paid for services’ to schools and statutory organisations, one-off project grants related to our Equine and Small Animal Assisted Learning project and Rehoboth activities. Income for project work was £484,785 compared to £453,003 in thepreviousyear,an increase of 7%. |
| Fundraising Events & other Income 3% of totalgeneral income |
£18,857 generated from rental income and other activities showing a slight decrease on the previous year’s £20,617. |

RESOURCES INCOME AND EXPENDITURE
This year ended on 31 March 2024 expenditure was £560,086 an increase of 22.12%. Incoming resources for the year were £622,114 a decrease of just under 1% on the previous year.
EXPECTATIONS AND PROJECTIONS
Project Work income from referrals and other activities shows an increase of 7% on last year reflecting a steady intake of post-16 SEN placements and mentoring sessions. Our specialist post-16 education programme in equine studies was complemented by the addition of the Animal Welfare course as a new option last year for SEN students struggling to access mainstream services. There is a high demand for our limited spaces, therefore the charity is looking to increase capacity for next year.
As always, we need more mentors to run more sessional work, the demand continues to increase but we are limited by the number of mentors and space on site for sessions to run.
We continue to need more subscribers to our JACPot giving scheme to help cover core costs and to increase our bursary fund. The Journey to Independence House continues to provide a young family who moved in at the end of 2019 with a safe and stable home environment for mum and 2 young children.
The projections for 2024/25 show an income of £671k with expenditure of £620k.
KEY RISKS
The key risk factors for the Charity would be:
-
A significant reduction in referrals or post-16 placements, nearly 78% of our income is generated through ‘paid for services’. There is a staff cost attached to these services; therefore, the risk could be managed in part by reducing staff overheads. The preferred risk management is to continue networking to raise our profile and offer to schools and Local Authorities, feedback successful outcomes to schools and parents and promote the excellent service we provide in bridging the gap in provision for emotional and behavioural support in schools and in the community – offering a service that is accessible to all. Continued monitoring of our pricing structure is necessary to ensure our services are covering the bulk of costs whilst still accessible to those in need.
-
Loss of key staff or volunteers – risk addressed by ensuring staff and volunteers feel valued, receive appropriate training and supervision, and see themselves as an integral part of building God’s Kingdom here on earth, in the event of such loss of staff, JAC’s recruitment policy recommends a re-evaluation of the situation followed by re-structuring or recruiting as necessary. Lead a recruitment campaign to recruit and train new sessional workers and volunteers.
-
Potential costs arising from continued development or maintenance of the Rehoboth site that would need to be funded by JAC, management of this risk would be to ensure there are ‘earmarked funds’ for this type of expenditure and where needed a fundraising campaign to meet the cost of any large development which then only progresses when funding has been secured or pledged.
10
Just Around the Corner (JAC) Ltd
- Cessation of our lease agreement which would mean looking for other property to run our services. Our existing lease has very good terms, therefore any move would be costly due to high price of land and building costs. The Charity needs to invest surplus funds into a ‘Property Fund’.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted free (General) reserves, those funds not tied up in fixed assets, designated or restricted funds, at a level equivalent to six months normal expenditure less the regular incoming support from the JACPot. This would allow JAC to continue to operate in periods when grants or other funding is not available.
Our current level of normal outgoings (excluding restricted expenditure and depreciation) is £265,936 per six months. Regular JACPot funding, minus restricted JACPot giving, currently runs at £17,423 per six months, making a reserve target of £248,513.
On 31st March 2024 our unrestricted general reserves are £384,107, meeting our reserve target, and allows for potential investment at Rehoboth and the Property Fund.
The trustees are satisfied that the Charity’s assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations.
SHARE CAPITAL
The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital.
TRUSTEE INDEMNITY COVER
Trustee indemnity insurance cover is provided by the Ansvar Commercial Combined Insurance policy.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Each of the trustees at the time when this report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as he/she is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity's independent examiner is unaware, and
-
that he/she has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a trustee to be aware of any information needed by the Independent Examiner in connection with preparing his/her report and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
A resolution proposing the re-appointment of Nigel Gough as independent examiner of the Charity’s accounts and associated matters was agreed at the Annual General Meeting on 14 November 2023.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Charity 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 Charity at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
METHOD OF PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS

Just Around the Corner(JAC) Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 March 2024
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
When donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
Grants and donations to fund expenditure on construction of fixed assets have been recognised in the SOFA on receipt as restricted funds.
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activity at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Investment income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Resources expended
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Actiities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT, which cannot be recovered.
All expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading they have been allocated on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Salary costs included within the cost of charitable activities have not been allocated to either Fund Generating or Governance costs. Recognising that some time is spent on these activities, the vast majority of staff time is spent on charitable activities, and the value of time that might be allocated elsewhere is not material.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and shown at cost.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Leasehold Buildings | - 10 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | - 4 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | - 4 years |
| Plant and machinery | - 4 years |

Just Around the Corner(JAC) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
Fund Accounting
Funds held by the charity are either:
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds available for the use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance to the general objectives of the charity
Restricted funds - these are funds that 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 a particular restricted purpose.
Further explanations of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements
