CHAIR’S FOREWORD
It is a pleasure to present to you our latest annual report in a year that has been one of both transition and celebration. As we mark 25 years of inclusive performing arts in Haringey, we reflect on our legacy with pride and look ahead with fresh leadership and bold ambition.
We said a fond farewell to Jim Shepley, who stepped down after 12 incredible years leading the charity. Jim’s passion, dedication, and vision have helped shape Haringey Shed into the creative and inclusive organisation it is today. We thank him deeply and wish him all the very best for the future.
I am excited to welcome Rachel Rand as our new incoming CEO and Executive Director. Rachel brings a wealth of experience in senior charity and business roles, including nearly a decade at the National Children’s Bureau charity, along with a deep-rooted commitment to the local community, opportunities for young people and inclusive practice. I’m genuinely excited about where we go next.
A heartfelt thank you must also go to the management team - Jessica Lovell and Ashling Foat. Jessica and Ashling's ongoing commitment and dedication in the past year have ensured our programmes continued and expanded for all our families and partners through this period of change.
As we celebrate twenty-five years of Haringey Shed, it is clear the heart of what we do remains unchanged. After a recent youth theatre show, an audience member shared:
"There’s nothing quite like Haringey Shed – it is joyful and totally unique. You leave feeling like the world’s a better place."
That spirit of joy, inclusion, and creativity continues to drive everything we do.
To all our supporters, partners, funders, and families - thank you. Haringey Shed is built on your belief in our young people. Here’s to the next 25 years.
Jonathan Jacob Chair of Trustees

Residential
In August, we took 20 young people to Hindleap Warren in West Sussex for 2 nights. The trip was generously subsidised by the Jack Petchey Foundation. With this funding, we get 2 nights and 6 activities. Activities included axe throwing, leap of faith, disc golf, high ropes, scavenger hunts and more. This trip is a highlight of Haringey Shed’s calendar and develops young people’s communication and social skills, confidence and teamwork in an accelerated way outside our usual performing arts programme.
‘ Thank you for your amazing Trip, [child’s name] was overwhelmed by the experience… in a fantastic way as he kept saying it was an amazing trip, thank you for making it possible for them.’ (Parent of residential trip participant)

Conor Hunt and Juliette Tive-Hive, joined the Board during the year bringing strong connections to Haringey communities, experience of youth programmes and professional experience of the creative arts. The Trustees have been actively seeking to broaden the skills, background and experience of the Board.

Fundraising Overview
The organisation has been actively engaged in fundraising activities, securing grants from various sources, trusts and foundations. The charity has successfully generated sufficient funds during the year, although multi-year funding remains the goal to achieve stronger stability.
The success of The Big Give campaign in 2025 sets a strong foundation for increased income generation through community fundraising.
Challenges and Future Directions
-
The organisation will continue to develop its strong links with local and regional voluntary sector and arts partners to provide the best opportunities for young people.
-
The organisation is also focused on developing the core team, following the appointment of a new CEO/Executive Director early in 2025, to ensure continued success and growth.
-
Haringey Shed is currently navigating the complexities of the Irish Centre lease, including CVS subsidy. A Voluntary Community Service (VCS) Subsidy from Haringey Council will be vital in managing the organisation’s core overheads.

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 our focus will continue to 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

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
GOING CONCERN
The Board has closely monitored the charity’s finances during the year to maintain the charity’s activity levels, turning a small budgeted deficit into a small surplus, driven but improved funding levels during the year. A breakeven budget has been set for 2025/26.
The activity for the year results in closing unrestricted funds totalling £183,410. A total of £169,027 of funding is confirmed for 2025/26. A 12-month budget projects a small deficit although there is confidence this can be successfully managed down again. If that is not possible the charity has sufficient reserves to cover the deficit. 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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.
