Action East Devon Limited
Trustees, Report
Year Ended 31 March 2024
Statement from the Chair
In my statement last year, the financial challenges facing Action East Devon were a cause for concern. Whilst
those challenges remain, I very much think of this year as having been one of opportunities. At the outset I must
make special mention of, and wholeheartedly thank, Orchard Fundraising for their unwavering support and
inspiration. We were extremely fortunate to be chosen by Orchard to benefit from their pro-bono expertise. With
their guidance we now have a tightly focused and informed fundraising strategy that brings out our achievements
and impact and is consequently so much more successful than had been the case previously. We have been
very SUC￿$sful with bids submitted over the past few months and have a strong pipeline of bids awaiting
consideration, all of which gives us a solid foundation on which to build.
I must also thank our staff and volunteers for the fantastic work they do to support our young people, and without
whom we would not be the great organisation that we are. Our admin assistant and CEO both left towards the
end of 2023. 1 am a great believer in change presenting opportunity. and with the need to effect the changes I
alluded to last year, Trustees took time to consider what staffing roles the charity actually needed. This resulted
in our deciding that. while we did not need to recruit for the admin role, we did recruit a significantly revised
Charity Manager role to replace the CEO role. and the suc￿Ssful candidate took up post in March.
Our focus on young people sharpened as we concentrated our activities on our"
Headlight (peer support group work) service in Axminster, Ottery St. Mary and Seaton, and
(1-2-1) School Mentoring Service in Honiton. Sidmouth and Axe Valley schools.
In 2023-24. we held 112 peer support group sessions, provided 471 hours of one-to-one sessions and helped
134 young people. And we have a waiting list for referrals. The young people themselves tell us- -Headlight is
a safe place where I can talk things through without being judged and make new friends."
'1 like learning about
different ways of tackling things." "It has helped me build my confidence."
The one area of constancy has been the make-up of our Board of Trustees. where we have had no changes.
This has facilitated consistent monitoring. understanding of issues and decision making. As part of our revised
structure. Trustees have been very active in bid writing. attending events where we showcase our work and
connecting with partners old and prospective.
I, along with the Board, truly believe that we are a stronger organisation for having fa￿d up to and met the
challenges of the last year. and together we look forward to the future with confidence.

Chair of the Board of Trustees

Trustees, Report
Year Ended 31 March 2024
The Board of Trustees presents the report and financial statements for Action East Devon, for the year ending
31 March 2024. which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Director's Report and Financial
Statements for the purposes of the Companies Act.
Action East Devon is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.
The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 (and any subsequent amendments), with the
Companies Act 2006, with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the charitable company, and with
the Statement of Recommended Practi￿ (SORP) for charities preparing their Financial Statements in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
Objectives and Activities
Action East Devon is an independent charitable body and company limited by guarantee incorporated in 2009.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association set out the govemance structures and aims of the organisation.
Trustees are volunteers from the community and act as Directors for the purposes of company law. Trustees
are reimbursed expenses. but do not receive any remuneration. The governance of the charity pays due regard
to the rules, regulations and good practice recommendations from the Charity Commission. and, where
appropriate, to the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Trustees have also considered an assessment of
practice against the Charity Governance Code for smaller charities.
The Board of Trustees ensure that all work of the organisation accords with the Objects of the charity..
The promotion of any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community, principally but not
exclusively East Devon, the charitable purposes being the advancement of education, the protection of
health, and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness.
To promote and organise co-operation in achievement of the above purposes.
The Trustees also ensure that public benefil is provided through the delivery of outreach projects and services
which directly meet the needs of the most vulnerable people in our society. enabling them to achieve a range
of health and wellbeing outcomes.
The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives, in planning future activities and in setting policy for the year.
The charity's outreach projects and services are delivered in local communities where there is a need and are
free to ensure maximum accessibility to those in need. The following sections outline our work, achievements
and challenges during 2023124.

Achievements and Performance
Projects and services
Throughout 2023124 Action East Devon continued its journey building on the reorganisations of the previous
years. Change is a constant feature. and this year has seen its fair share both internally and across our area of
activity.
Action East Devon has been acutely aware of the growing numbers of children and young people with mental
heallh issues. A report from the CQC on the state of health care in England 2023124 identifies a 290/0 increase
in children and young people in contact with mental health service beiween 2022 and 2024 but only 110/0
receiving an interaction with the statulory services. As the same report notes, wilh waiting times for the statutory
services highly variable being able to get the right mental health care as early as possible can have a significant
impact on the person's future.
There is national concern about children and young people's mental health issues now impacting school
attendance. Data from NHS Digital shows that children with a mental health problem were seven times more
likely to have missed 15 days in school compared to those without a mental health problem.
Action East Devon believes its work with schools and colleges and other agencies:
Addresses both national and local concerns over children and young people's mental health
Reduces some of the pressures on the statutory serVI￿S and are in some cases better suited to the
wishes and needs of children and young people
Has a positive impact on the future prospects of children and young people in East Devon
Internally, our CEO'S departure created an opportunity to consider roles and responsibilities, the outcome being
the greater involvement of Trustees and creation of the Charity Manager role. And we decided to stop the
Children and Families Service and focus on direct support to young people.
It was unfortunate that our fundraising efforts in the previous year did not raise the funds hoped for and this
necessitated continued use of reserves to enable service delivery to continue. So fundraising was the prime
activity for Trustees, and the support from Orchard Fundraising enabled us to renew relationships with previous
funders and develop new ones. resulting in bids being submitted to a wide range of local and national funders.
Headlight
Headlight, peer support group work supplemented by 1-2-1 mentoring work where requested, remains Action
East Devon's principal service which we deliver in Ottery Sl Mary and Axminster. Since lasl summer, we have
also delivered our Headlight service in Sealon for Re.'Store, a local community group. However. primarily
because of space restrictions, we just offered peer support group work. One of our tenets is early intervention
and recognising the need to engage with a younger age range, our relationship with Re=Store enabled us to trial
offering our support to young people aged 11 and up. This increased the number of young people supported
and paved the way for this to be part of our revised strategy.
Reflecting the national picture, we have continued to see young people presenting a wider range of challenges
and it is clear that the effects of Covid lockdowns are continuing to be felt and are likely to continue for some
time. In 2023, the NHS estimated that one in five children and young people in England aged eight to 25 were
likely to have a mental health disorder. Anxiety and depression are common. though other disorders are also
on the rise. The universal use of smartphones and the social media young people access are thought to play
their part here. Local mental health services for young people are hugely overstretched. with waits for NHS
services now between 18 months and two years. One peer support group attendee told us that she was finally
getting an assessment after a wait of 22 months.

School Mentoring Services
We have delivered our School Mentoring Service in Sidmoulh. Honilon and Axe Valley Colleges. School
Mentoring is 1-2-1 mentoring carried out on school premises during the school day. We work closely wilh Ihe
school inclusion team who balance the benefit our service delivers against the loss of schoolwork time and who
refer young people to our 45 minutes, once a fortnight, sessions. We also have the use of a dedicated meeting
room at each school and where appropriate offer wrap around support such as Team around the family (TAF)
meetings and further signposting for parents and families (as indeed we do within our Headlight service). Our
School Mentoring Services are delivered in Sidmouth College and Honiton College with work being done to
bring the service to Axe Valley in Axminster in late 2023.
We are extremely grateful to the Honiton League of Friends and Sid Valley Help for their continued support of
our service in Honiton and Sidmouth. We are also grateful to the variety offunders. including East Devon District,
Axminster Town and Devon County Councils for their support of our Axminster Se￿ICe.
We are currently at our full capacity {10 in each school) of young people supported through our School
Mentoring. We conduct regular reviews with both the young people and the school to ensure that they are
moved forward when appropriate and the space given to another child. Some of the young people tell us that
they only come into school for their Action East Devon meeting but are then often happy to stay in school
afterwards thus increasing their educational engagement.
The Future
Following the changes to roles and responsibilities we took the opportunity to review our strategy with our staff,
volunteers and Youth Voice. Collectively, we determined that during Ihe period 2024- 2027 we would..
Expand our Headlight reach by creating peer support groups in towns, probably Honiton and
Sidmouth
Further expand our Headlight reach by opening our Servi￿ in all locations to young people aged 11
and over
This follows the successful expansion at Seaton. and also enables us to support young people as they
move from junior school to senior school
Maintain our School Mentoring provision where we can fully fund the seNice from local funders
We currently have 7 volunteers (excluding Trustees) and expect to increase this numberto 11 to support
our expansion plans
Influencing decision makers to make the right changes ihat better supports those Ihat need it. Two
recent examples of this took place when=
MP Richard Foord visited Axminster Headlight, and the young people made plain their need for
trusted, independent. support outside school (Lib Dem policy waslis for more school-based
support), and
Our young people attended a hustings event in June with local parliamentary candidates

Trustees, Report
Year Ended 31 March 2024
Financial Review
The total income for the year was £102.233 of which £91,490 was restricted. After transfers, there was an
unrestricted deficit (designated and undesignated) of £33,303 and a restricted deficit of £24,426 for the year,
giving an overall deficit of £57,729.
Total funds carried forward were £68.007 of which £16,357 was restricted. These restricted funds relate to grant
monies paid in advance for project delivery during 2024125.
Reserves Policy
The existing Funding Deficits and Project Development designated fund now stands at £13,480. all of which is
budgeted for use in 2024125. This is intended to cover funding shortfalls and lo look at alternative ways of
fundraising for projects that are essential to the charity's objectives.
In addition to these designated funds, the charity holds £37,728 in free reserves (excluding fixed assets), which
the Trustees consider to be an appropriate level to provide for a controlled close of the charity, should this arise.
The Reserves policy is kept under active review and so the target reserves figure is likely to change over time.
Structure, Management and Governance
Governing Document
Action East Devon Limited was incorporated on 1 October 2009 (company number 07035905), became a
registered charity on 2 March (charity number 1134611). and commenced activities on 1 April 2010. The new
company took over from the former charitable company, East Devon Voluntary Support Agency, and all assets
were transferred to the incorporated charity. The Trustees are also Directors for the purposes of company law.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association of Action East Devon set out governance structures and aims of
the organisation. They describe the operating framework. detailing the Objects, Powers, Membership and
Honorary Officers, and outline the protocols for the operation of the Board of Trustees and the Annual General
Meeting. The Memorandum and Articles of Association provide information and guidance to ensure that the
Trustees are fulfilling their obligations under company and charity law, ensuring that the organisation is
accountable and transparent to those it serves.
Trustee Recruitment. Induction and Training
Action East Devon continually reviews the composition of its Board of Trustees to ensure members. skills meet
the needs of the organisation, service users and the local community.
All potential new Trustees are interviewed and given the opportunity to observe a Board meeting before being
formally invited to become a Trustee and Director. Induction provides information about Trustee and Directors,
roles and responsibilities as part of a meeting with the Chair of the Board and the Charity Manager to further
their understanding of the work of the organisation.
Governance
Practice in previous years has been for the Board of Trustees to meet four times a year with an Annual General
Meeting held at an appropriate date in Autumn. However. this year the Board decided more frequent meetings
were necessary to enable the Board to closely monitor the financial position and take swift, informed decisions
where necessary.
The Charity Manager and Finance Manager prepare and deliver reports to the Board. Risk is kept under active
review by the Trustees as are all policies.
