YoLfng people today face growing pressures that can deeply affect their sense of self and wellbeing. Many need support to strengthen their emotional and mental health, to build and sustain healthy relationships with friends. family and teachers. and to develop a deeper understanding of who they are and what they can become. By walking alongside them in these areas, we help them not only to cope with life's challenges but to grow in confidence, resilience and hope for their future
According to a 2023 National Centre for Social Research report, 1 in 5 children and young people in England have a mental health problem. This situation is exacerbated by the reality that only l in 3 were able to access treatment in 2023 (Children's Commissioner for England). In simple terms, in a class of 30 students, 6 have a mental health problem, with only 2 being able to access the help and support they need. The remaining 4 students per classroom are left to find support themselves. In the case of a large secondary school with 1,500 students, this would mean around 200 students with mental health needs, being left in limbo. These are the young people that east to west work to support. The How In 2022, east to west marked its 25th Anniversary. Over the years our delivery has evolved, but our focus has remained constant. We have worked alongside Surrey Police, supported homeless housing provision, facilitated 24/7 prayer initiatives, engaged in detached youth work, provided university support, counselling, GP surgery partnerships, primary and secondary school support, and offered specialist work in hospitals with young people experiencing suicidal ideation and self-harm. We have also supported those temporarily or permanently excluded from education. Throughout all these expressions of our work, one 'golden thread, has remained unchanged: relationships. Our Relational Support Work model is rooted in the biblical account of the disciples walking to Emmaus. As they travelled, burdened by sadness, confusion, and uncertainty, Jesus met them on the road. He walked with them, listened deeply. and created space for their questions, grief, and hopes. In that shared journey, their load became lighter. This image captures the heart of Relational Support. We walk alongside children, young people, and families as they navigate the challenges of life-helping them feel heard, understood, and supported. Like the disciples, we want those we journey with to feel lighter and more equipped for the road ahead, knowing they are not facing it alone. Most importantly, we bring hope.
Over the years we have pioneered a relatlonal approach that places the needs and voices of those we serve at the centre of our support. We commit to journeying with children, young people, and families for as long as needed, helpin them develop the skills and confidence to understand and manage their challenges. Across a generation, nearly 40,000 childrery young people, and families have experienced hope through east to west. Today, our work-delivered through more than 80 projects by a team of 50+ operating across Surrey, Hampshire. Berkshire. and Greater London. This includes primary and secondary school support, our speclalist hospital work at St Peler's Hospital (Chertsey) with young people who have self-harmed or attempted to take their own lives, and our GP surgery partnerships. All of our practice is shaped by our Relational Support Work, early intervention, and Relational Counselling models. In the 2024125 academic year, east to west supported over 2,800 children, young people, and families-an increase of 750 from the previous year. We delivered more than 21,000 interventions, with 78% of those we journeyed with showing significant positive impact.
QONPAIIIONAIE IIIFIIII DIVOIED 111 INIEGRIII Fll NQONMUNITI east to west is not unique because of the programmes we deliver. Many organisations provide youth work to vulnerable, at-risk. homeless, or disengaged young people. Our distinctiveness is found instead in our heart. our spirit, and our attitude-summed up in one word" presence. Jesus taught: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... and love your neighbour as yourself." (Matthew 22.37-39). This call shapes the way we engage with every young person, school, and partner. is notf(xmd What sets us apart is not the fact that we offer 1.1 support or run small groups. but the presence we bring into each setting. Our approach flows from our relationship with God: a desire to embody His love, to be "salt and light" in the world (Matthew 5.13-16), and to show His character through our actions. This presence is reflected in our Ethos values-lntegrity, Compassionate, Devoted, Community, Selfless, and Fun. These values are love in action. Integrity ensures the young people we support know their needs are our priority. Compassionate means offering care without judgement. Devoted means going the extra mile, even when it is challenging. Community expresses our commitment to serving and blessing our schools and partners. Selfless calls us to put others before ourselves. Fun seeks to bring hope, wholeness, and enjoyment into the lives of the young people we meet.
The east to west team brings together a wide range of roles and responsibilities, all united by one purpose: bringing hope to young lives. Within our partner schools, we deliver support through five key roles.. Relational Support Worker's Relational Counsellor's (holding a minimum Level 4 BACP-accredited qualification) Early Intervention Co-ordinator's (Surrey Mindworks Partnership - Secondary schools) Early Intervention Practitioner's (Surrey Wellbeing Partnership- Primary schools) Family Link Worker (primary schools) Each group of practitioners is supported by a designated team lead, ensuring consistency, guidance, and high-quality practice within small, well-connected cohorts. In our hospital project, Relational Support Worker's and a committed team of volunteers provide evening sessions at St Peterfs Hospital, Chertsey. They support young people-and their families-who have been admitted following attempted suicide, self-harm andlor facing emotional crisis. The team also offers follow up support with young people and their families in their local community once discharged from St Peter's. This year we have also started supporting GP practices mirroring elements of both our school and hospital models within east Guildford Primary Care Network providing four main types of support Social Prescribing Triage Interventions Relational Support Work Relational Counsellor's Behind our frontline roles, a senior leadership and operations team provide dedicated support including finance, data, fundraising, partnership management, safeguarding, supervision, communications, HR, training and development, and pastoral support.

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 financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed. we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this oiher information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to ieport in this regard.

Responsibllttles of trustees As explained more fully in the Irustees, iesponsibilities statement, the trustees'lwho are also the direclofs of the charitable company 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 foi such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary lo enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity s ability to continue as 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic aliernative bul to do so. Audltorfs responsibilitles for the audlt of the flnancial statements 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 thal 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 delecl 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 useis taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, inclLJding fraud is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the charity, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to employmet7t and financial reporting legislalion and we considered the extent to which non- compliance might have a tnaterial effecl on the financial statements. We also considered those laws 8nd regulations thal have a direct impacl on the preparalion of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. We assessed the susceplibility of ihe charity's financial slatemenls lo material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occui, by making enquiries of management, considering the internal controls in place and discussion amongst the engagement team. 25
tlie Inember8 of The eartto we Il•' tinued We determined Ihat the principal risks were relaled to recognition of granl income. presenlation of separately disclosed items and management override of controls. In response to the risks identified we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to reviewing grant correspondence. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documenlalion. evalualing the internal controls. reviewing truslees, minules and identifying and testing journal entries. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulalions are from financial transactions. Ihe less likely it is that we would become aware of non<ompliance. Malerial misstalements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as ihey may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's webstte at- http//www.fic.org.uk.auditorsresponsibilities. This desciiption forms part of our auditor's report.
