Objectives and activities
. Pollcles and oblectlves
The Reach Foundation exists to ensure that every child can enjoy a life ofchoice and opportunity. The Foundation
believes Ihat great schools are necessary but not sufficient to achieve this. Over the last ￿e1ve years we have
shown that schools can foster seamless pipelines of cradle to career support.
The Foundation calalyses action, cultivates leaders and connects people and institutions to foster the
development of cradle to career models of support for babies, children and young people.
Locally, in Feltham, the Foundation works in partnership with the local community, existing institutions and local
professionals to deliver an integrated pipeline of support for children and families that complements the work of
local schools. The Feltham Convening Partnership - a cross-sector community partnership to improve outcomes
for babies, children and young people - alongside our sister organisation, Reach Schools, represent our local
'cradle to careerf model.
The Foundation is now working nationally to cultivate, connect and catalyse leadership. This includes delivering
four regional leadership programmes. in Devon and Cornwall. the West Country. Yorkshire and the East of
England, an aspiring Trust leader programme, and a senes of institutional partnerships that are supporting the
' development of cradle to career models. In September 2024 Ihere were more than 50 of these partnerships all
around the country.
The Foundation continues to foster innovation to ensure babies, children and young people growing up in
cornmunities, which have been historically underserved or disadvantaged, are better supported. The programme
that launched lastyear, 'Languages forAII', is now up and running in the borough of Hounslow and the Foundation
is working on setting up a degree programme to support the nOn￿raduate workforce and accelerate their career
development.

b. Review of activities
Reach Foundation Feltham workstream highlights
The Foundation marked the end of our multi-year partnership with Save the Children UK in May 2024 by
celebrating the Feltham Early Learning Community's achievements with stakeholders and reflecting on
progress and the sustainability of the work
The charity esiablished and facilitated three Family Hubs, Parent Carer Panels {PCPs). which have met bi-
monthly across Ihe borough attracling a diverse range of parents including dads, young parents and those
for whom English is not their first language. Over the year, the families have contributed to service
improvements for Health Visiting, Talking Therapies and Speech and Language Therapies. Information
sharing is the other role of the PCPS, so they have received updates in early education funding changes,
local resources and activities for families.
Eight new Early Years educators started the Early Years Foundation Degree in September 2023, from
eight different local settings, and the same number of students successfully progressed to the 2nd year of
the courselLevel 5. We recruited seven SEND educators to start the Special Education Needs and
Inclusive Provision ISENIP) Foundation Degree In September 2024.
During July and August 2024, we delivered a wide range of accessible activities as part of our Summer
holiday transition programme for children and families, with over 250 attendances, and 22 families on
average per activity.
Feltham Convenlng Partnershlp (FCP) hlghllghts
Within our Primary Mental Health Cluster (PMHC), 90'h of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the
PMHC meetings were useful for their professional practice., 70'/o of members agreed or strongly agreed
thal the PMHC has strengthened their capacity to support the mental health needs of their school
community: and 70 /0 of members agreed or strongly agreed that they have connected with new people as
a result of attending the PMHC meetings (30°/o neither agreed nor disagreed).
From our Young Leaders & Researchers activity, 19 students successfully completed the FCP summer
programme and have already been invited to participate in national opportunities from September 2024.
Our Evaluation Partner, Kingston University, compiled an annual progress report (due for publication in
November 2024), that specifically focused on exploring different approaches to data sharing across UK
collective impact initiatives. The report included analysis from three case studies and a wider data review
conducted across seven schools in Feltham. There were three main recommendations for FCP on data
sharing. structure and governance, and wider impact.
School and Trust leadership development programmes
Recognising the crucial role played by school and Twst leaders in enabling all children to enjoy lives of
choice and opportunity, we placed significant energy in 2023124 towards growing our leadership
development offer. Having worked with a group of partner school Trusts to develop and trial the 'SW100'
{a leadership development model grounded in strong commitment to children experiencing disadvantage-
strong regional and local contextual understanding., and building relationships be￿een cohort members)
we are now set-up for national growth having launched the 'Yorks100' and 'West100' programmes and
preparing to launch the 'East100' in September 2024 .
We have also been able to build on learning from the 'SW100' to build LeadingTrusts- a programme for
aspiring school Trust CEOS. Like 'SW100', the inaugural programme cohort launched in the South West of
England with new cohorts to be recruited - a second in that area, and our first national cohort. These
new cohorts will continue to be locally rooted and nationally connected. We build strong relationships
be￿een participants and across the Iwo cohorts, such that they are set-up to become breakthrough Trust
CEOS.

Achlevements and performance (contlnued)
Cradle to Career Partnership
Over the course of 2023124, we supported 18 Cradle to Career Partners to make substantial progress in
the development of their Cradle to Career models of support. The partners worked to increase the
educational coherence, relationships coherence and local system coherence of their offer to children in
their communities. This has led to partners seeing significant improvement in multiple areas of school life,
from numbers of children accessing high quality nursery education to improved attendance.
We also re-designed the structure of our support based on feedback from partners In order to make the
programme more accessible for a wider range of partners.
We then recruited an additional 30 schools or groups of schools to join the Cradle to Career in September
2024, creating an overall partnership of around 60 partners across the country, from Middlesbrough in the
North East to Newquay in the South West.

c. Fundraising activities and income generation
We have not undertaken any direct fundraising from the general public. Our funding is primarily derived from
income that is earned from delivering our programmes, grants from Trusts and Foundations, our partnership with

Flnaneial review

After making appropriate enquiries, the Truslees have a reasonable expectation thai the Charity has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt
the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going
concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves pollcy
The Trustees consider the level of reserves on a regular basis and are satisfied these are sufficient as at 31
August 2024. The level of reserves shown at year end within these financial statements reflects the approach to
income recognition and accruals accounting that is followed by charilable entities, It includes funds that have
been received during the 2023124 financial year, to be put towards expendilure on planned core activities within
the upcoming financial period, and therefore a portion of these reserves is designated to be spent in 2024125.
c. Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertalntles
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular, those related to the
operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE REACH FOUNDATION
ICONTINUED
Oplnion
We have audited the financial statements of The Reach Foundation (the 'Charity'> for the year ended 31 August
2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and
the related notes, including accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard
102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, {Uniled Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 August 2024 and of its incoming
resources and applicaiion of resources, including lis income and expenditure for the year then ended.,
have been properly prepared in accordan￿ with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
and
have been prepared in accordance with the reqU1￿MentS of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those Stsndards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit
of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom,
including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Concluslon8 relatlng to golng concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees. use of the going concern basis of
accounting in.the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as
going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the
relevant sects'ons of this report.
Other Informatlon
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements
and our Auditor's Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contsined within the
Annual Report, Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the
extent othe￿iSe explicitly stated in our report. we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material
misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the fjnancial
statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we a￿ required to report by exception
Page 14

THE REACH FOUNDATION
IA Company Limited by Guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE REACH FOUNDATION
(CONTINUED)
We have nothing to report in respect of the following malters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion-
the information given in the Trustees, Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial
statements; or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounts'ng records and retums., or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responslbilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the Trustees (who are also the Directors
of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements
and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Truslees determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from rnaterial misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial staternents, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations. or
have no realistic allernative but to do so.
Audltor responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements
We h8ve been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Page 14

THE REACH FOUNDATION
(A Company Llmited by Guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE REACH FOUNDATION
(CONTINUED)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misslatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of delecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the entity operates in, focusing on
those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements.,
Enquiry of management to identify any instances of known Of suspected instances of fraud.,
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.,
Enquiry of management about any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations:
Performing auditwork over the risk ofmanagement override ofcontrols, including Ihe testing ofjournal entries
and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions
oulside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias:
Reviewing minutes of meetings of Ihose charged with governance., and
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limilations of an audil, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulalion. This risk
increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected
in the financial slatemenis, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is
also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional
concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This descriplion forms part of our
Auditor's Report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
Charity's Trustees those rnatters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's Report and for no other purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity
and its Members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
General information
The Reach Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered with the Charity
Commission (Charity Registered Number.. 1129683) and the Registrar of Companies (Company
Registered Number. 06546261) in England and Wales.
The address of the registered office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial
stalements.
The nature of the Charity's operations and principal activities are detailed within the Trustees Report.
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 othep4vise stated.
Accountlng pollcie8
2.1 Basls of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS
102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities., Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financlal Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial Statements have been presenied in pounds sterling, which is also the functional currency
of the Charity and are rounded to the nearest pound.
2.2 Going ¢oncern
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any
material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of
the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessmenl in respect of a period
of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have
concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a
going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the
financial statements.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of
income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant
funds on the Balan￿ Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its
recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Vthere entitlement occurs before
income is received, the income is accrued.

Accounting policles (contlnued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit
to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs
of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs
involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocaled directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are
not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis Consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the
Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amounl after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.6 Cash at bank and In hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity
of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlemenl, and the amount
of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Vvhere
the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.8 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Financial Instruments
The Charity does not have a material holding in complex financial instruments. The Charity only holds
basic Financial Instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows..
Debtors- trade and other debtors (including accrued income) are basic financial instruments and are
debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 11. Prepayments are not financial
instruments.
Cash at bank- is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured al face value.
Liabililies- trade creditors, accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instrumenls, and
are measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 12. Taxation and social security are not included
in the financial instruments disclosure. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as in
the cash settlement has already taken place and there is simply an obligation to deliver charitable
services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
2.10 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.11 Penslons
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the
amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
2.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordan￿ with specific restrictions imposed by
donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and
administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted
fund is set out in the notes to the financial siatements. The level of reserves shown at year end within
these financial statements reflects the approach to income recognilion and accruals accounting that
is followed by charitable entities. It includes funds that have been received during the 2023124
financial year, to be put towards expenditure on planned core activities within the upcoming financial
period, and therefore a portion of these reserves is designated to be spent in 2024125.
