CHAIR’S FOREWORD
It has been a real honour to serve as the Chair of this amazing charity, which has gone from strength to strength over the past year. I am delighted to share our latest report with you, highlighting the incredible achievements and milestones we've reached. Our "Dare to Dream" programme of events, shows, and activities has truly been remarkable, bringing together our creative projects and showcasing the talents of our young people.
This year, we have worked with more professional theatre companies and practitioners, as well as community partners, than ever before. Their collaboration has breathed new life into Haringey Shed, infusing it with fresh, innovative ideas. Haringey Shed has been, and always will be, a creative safe haven for young people in Tottenham, Haringey, and North London. Our wide range of activities, performance opportunities, social and volunteer experiences, and outreach initiatives have firmly embedded us into the fabric of the community.
We are particularly excited about our collaboration with colleagues across the community as we prepare for the forthcoming London Borough of Culture in 2027. The plans in store promise to be extraordinary, and we can’t wait to see how they unfold. This partnership underscores our commitment to fostering creativity and inclusion, ensuring that the arts remain accessible to all. Equally, the team are shaping up plans for our forthcoming 25th Anniversary in 2025.
As is often the case with small charities, none of the work we do and the impact we make in Haringey would be possible without the support of our funders. I want to take a moment to thank the funding bodies, trusts, and organisations that support our mission of creating inclusive and safe environments for young people. Your generosity and belief in our vision are deeply appreciated.
Attending the recent youth theatre show was a poignant reminder of why we do what we do. I spoke with a mother who shared how important Haringey Shed is to her family. Her daughter eagerly looks forward to coming to Shed each week, finding joy and a sense of belonging here. This sentiment is echoed by so many others in our community, highlighting the vital role we play in the lives of young people and their families.
We hope you enjoy our annual report and thank you for your continued support. Whatever the future holds, I am confident that with a group of hardworking individuals, a cohort of creative young people, and the support of our amazing partners and funders, Haringey Shed will continue to deliver outstanding, creative, and much-needed work in Haringey. Together, we will keep fostering creativity and inclusivity in everything we do.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
Reaching Out: Expanding Our Impact
Haringey Shed's commitment extends beyond our core performing arts programmes. This year, we actively reached out to engage new audiences and address specific community needs through our outreach initiatives.
Inclusive Work with Schools : We believe that the arts have the power to enrich lives and foster understanding. This year, we continued to expand and develop collaborative projects with local schools, aiming to create inclusive and engaging experiences for all students. These projects provided opportunities for self-expression, exploration of identity, and celebration of diversity within the school environment.
Storytime with Haringey Shed : Funded by Haringey Council, this programme brought interactive storytelling sessions to libraries across Haringey during October half-term. Celebrating Black History Month, we used children's books by Black authors to spark conversations about diversity and inclusion.
Home Educating Families : Recognising the unique needs of home-schooled children, we developed bespoke full-day sessions, including an introduction to filmmaking workshop, to provide enriching and engaging experiences.
Safer Neighbourhood Project: In collaboration with MOPAC, we delivered a drama project within secondary schools in Haringey. This project tackled the important theme of healthy relationships, aiming to prevent hate crime, reaching 250 young people.
Pathways to Success (P2S): This programme empowers our dedicated volunteers with disabilities by offering them opportunities to develop their skills and gain experience. P2S volunteers meet weekly, participate in local exhibitions and events, and hone their presentation skills, becoming valuable assets to both Haringey Shed and the wider community.
Beyond the Stage: Adventures and Mental Wellness at Our Annual Residential
Our annual residential trip remains a highlight for our young people, and this year was no different! We took 20 participants on an exciting journey to London Youth's Hindleap Warren Outdoor Adventure Centre in Sussex. Laughter and a few triumphant tears filled the air as they challenged themselves and conquered their fears. This year, we placed a special emphasis on mental well-being, incorporating engaging activities that sparked open discussions and explorations of mental health. This holistic approach aims to foster personal growth and create a lasting impact on our young participants.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
Kidstime: Breaking the Stigma of Mental Illness
Haringey Shed's Kidstime programme provided vital support for 28 families experiencing enduring mental illness. We understand the importance of building trust and overcoming initial hesitation, which is why our co-ordinator invests time in one-on-one sessions and phone calls to create a welcoming environment.
This year, we're proud to report a strong core of 10 families who consistently participated in our workshops. These families not only benefited from the therapeutic activities but also forged connections with others facing similar challenges.
Kidstime's commitment extends beyond the programme space. In August, we facilitated a family summer trip to Whipsnade Zoo. The outing provided a valuable opportunity for families to bond, create lasting memories, and experience the joy of being together in a supportive community.
Collaboration: Partnerships that Empower
Haringey Shed wouldn't be what it is today without the support of our incredible collaborators.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
STATEMENT ON PUBLIC BENEFIT
The objectives and activities, and achievement and performance sections of this report clearly set out the activities which the charity undertakes for the public benefit. The Directors confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Directors have reviewed the major and financial risks that impact on the work of the charity. The systems that have been established enable the directors to review and take necessary steps to lessen these risks. The Directors consider the following to be the principal risks that the charity faces:
-
Major loss of income from funders – risk mitigated by maintaining good donor stewardship procedures, developing and building an effective fundraising plan and monitoring of finances, policy on increased reserves levels.
-
Reputational damage – risk mitigated by regular communications and reports both internally and externally, plus a regular review of all programmes.
-
Increased operational costs due to economic crisis (including energy costs) – mitigated by short term tenancy, no direct supply contracts, access to free reserves to cover short term fluctuations.
-
Loss of premises – risk mitigated by maintaining good links with local authority and voluntary sector landlords within the borough.
FUTURE PLANS
Looking ahead, we're committed to building upon our existing work in performing arts. This will allow us to continue making a positive impact on the community and fulfilling our mission of improving young people's lives. This year, as we approach our 25th anniversary, our focus will be on:
….. developing youth voice within the organisation and encouraging young people to contribute their ideas to shaping their local community
….. working with new partners to broaden our offer to young people
….. continuing to shine a light on mental health and well-being, to provide young people with tools to make them more resilient
….. broadening the diversity of the leadership to be more inclusive, broaden the skills and the knowledge base and to reflect the diversity of young people and families we work with
GOING CONCERN
The Board has closely monitored the charity’s finances during the year to maintain the charity’s activity levels, manage the forecast deficit down by improving funding levels during the year. The activity for the year results in closing unrestricted funds totalling £163,096. A total of £136,296 of funding confirmed for 2024/25. A 12-month budget projects a manageable deficit, which will draw on the charity’s reserves, unless additional funding is secured. The Trustees have maintained their conservative reserves policy in light of this. Cash-flow forecasts are prepared bi-monthly to keep abreast of the financial situation. The budget has been prepared in anticipation that the charity will deliver activities similar to level to previous years. Therefore, based on all the evidence available to them, the Trustees believe the Charity is a going concern for the foreseeable future.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
b. Income
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Voluntary income including donations and gifts are included in full in the SOFA when receivable.
The charity receives grants in respect of its activities. Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Other income includes income earned from fundraising events and activities to raise funds for the charity and membership subscriptions. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income is included when receivable.
c. Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

d. Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
e.
Funds accounting
Unrestricted general funds are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Directors.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restriction arises when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The Directors have designated certain funds for specific purposes. These are set out in note 13.
f.
Tangible fixed assets
All assets costing over £1,000 are capitalised. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% straight line Computer Equipment - 25% reducing balance IT Equipment - 25% straight line
g. Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
h. Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
i. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 9 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment and note 1f for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.
There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
