## **Trustees' report (including directors' report) Year ended 31 March 2025** 

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 to the statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association.. the Companies Acts 2002, and "Accounting and reporting by charities : Statement of recommended Practice" applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK (FRS 102)" effective January 1st 2019. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charitable objectives of Heads Up Leicester Ltd ("HUL") as set out in the objects contained in the charitable company's memorandum of association, are to: 

"Educate families and the public in better standards of child care, the importance of sound relations between parents and children for the maintenance and enrichment of family life, and good interpersonal communication between adults and children particularly, though not exclusively within families, and to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education and welfare of families and their members being in need by reason of their circumstances or their physical emotional or spiritual state." 

The charity has been providing support and positive parenting to families since 1990. The trustees have referred to the guidance of the Charity Commissioners on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives, and in planning  future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

## **Achievements and performance - 2024/25 at a glance** 

During 2024/25, HUL supported more than 1,120 children, young people, and their parents/ carers. We achieved this through delivering 63 groups and workshops, 80 young people's mental health sessions delivered one to one, 5 different weekly therapeutic playgroups (230 sessions), and 31 families received telephone support in their baby's first year. 

The charity has continued to offer Early Intervention Mental health support for young people aged 8-18 years via one- to-one support and groupwork, including support to parents and carers. As a Reducing Parental Conflict delivery partner for the City and County Councils, we provided a series of "Getting on better" online workshops for parents. Our Early Years work expanded again last year to include Tots Talking in addition to the antenatal education and therapeutic playgroup offer to universal families and teen parents, those with perinatal mental health needs or families where English is an additional language; and our family telephone support service. 

We partnered with local health and voluntary sector organisations to improve access to children's vaccinations in a key area of Leicester via the local immunisation Street teams project. HUL is proud to work alongside NHS, Local authority and voluntary sector organisation on a number of collaborative projects, which has further strengthened our role as system partners. 

## **Financial review** 

The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. In summary, HUL showed a surplus of income over expenditure for 2024/25 of £157k, and held unrestricted funds of £229k at the year end. 

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on reserves and consider it prudent to hold a general reserve equivalent to 3 months ongoing expenditure, which would be £109k based on 2024/25 turnover. The actual unrestricted reserves at 31/3/25 comfortably met this target (£229k).

## **Heads Up Leicester Limited Company limited by guarantee** 

## **Trustees' report (including directors' report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025** 

The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to: 

- Settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction 

- Ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment 

- Pay in accordance with the company's contractual and legal obligations. 

## **Funds held as custodian trustee** 

The charity's investment policy is to hold any reserves in the bank on deposit, or in a specific accounts held at a building society. 

## **Structure governance and management** 

HUL was incorporated as a private company limited by guarantee and a registered charity on December 2nd 2008, under its former name of Centre for Fun and Families. The name was changed to Heads Up Leicester on September 29th 2023 to better reflect the work of the charity. 

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 each in the event of a winding up. At each AGM, one third of the Trustees (or if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3) the number nearest to one third must retire from office. The Trustees to retire by rotation are those who have been longest in office since their last appointment. Trustees are eligible for re-election following the expiry of their term of office. 

HUL has an organisational structure headed by the Chief Executive Officer, supported by a project manager and Finance Officer. The Board meets six times a year and holds an annual "awayday" where strategic issues are considered in depth. There are regular meetings of the Finance Committee (which considers monthly management accounts including forecast outcomes for the year and the cash flow position. The Safeguarding Committee meets as required, as well as specific "task and finish group" meetings of Trustees and senior staff to deal with HR, and Health and Safety issues. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements show a level on unrestricted reserves of £229k at March 31st 2025. This represents 49% of the charity's planned expenditure for 2025/26. The budget for 2025/26 shows a balanced position, with the level of budgeted income secured at the date of signing the accounts. The Trustees are therefore confident that the charity is a going concern for accounting purposes, being able to meet its financial obligations within 12 months from the signing of the accounts.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Heads Up Leicester Limited Year ended 31 March 2025** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Heads Up Leicester Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

## **Independent examinder's statement** 

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ACCA, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1     accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2     the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3     the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- 4     the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **Heads Up Leicester Limited Company limited by guarantee** 

## **Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. Charity information** 

Heads Up Leicester Limited is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Grove Community Hub, Cort Crescent, Braunstone, Leicestershire, LE3 1QZ. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## **Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the board in furtherance of the general activities of the charity. 

Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. 

## **Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **Heads Up Leicester Limited Company limited by guarantee** 

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. 

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts. Investment income is included when receivable. 

## **Resources expended** 

Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 

Charitable expenditure comprises these costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination and grant audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. 

## **Operating leases** 

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.  The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

The gain or loss on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £100 are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Fittings fixtures and equipment - 25% straight line 

If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates. 

**Page 9** 



## **Heads Up Leicester Limited Company limited by guarantee** 

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of replacement cost and cost. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Basic financial assets and liabilities, which include debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivables or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. 

## **Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an exense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
