TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

Our charity’s objectives are as set out in the Articles of Association:

“To relieve the mental and physical sickness of persons resident in the United Kingdom, in particular children and young people suffering from bereavement or loss or a serious health crisis of a family member by the provision of workshops and support.

“To advance the education of professionals working with children and young people suffering from bereavement, loss or the serious illness of a family member by the provision of training.”

The following quotation is pertinent to the setting of our aims and objectives; “Children who experience three or more stressful life events, such as family bereavements, divorce or serious illness are significantly more likely to develop emotional and behavioural disorders” (Source: The Office for National Statistics 21st October 2008).

Main Objectives for the Year July 2023-June 2024

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and the summary of the main activities for the year are:

  1. Expand the financial scope of the charity to ensure diversification and source income from alternative and sustainable streams.

  2. Further develop our blended service to effectively support 5–25-year-olds with a range of options for digital and face-to-face engagement via home or school.

  3. Continue promoting and expanding throughout Herefordshire and beyond with a focus on reciprocal partnerships with schools, hospitals, and St Michael's Hospice.

  4. Continued development of an effective management structure including Trustees, the Youth Management Team, and Senior Staff.

  5. Development of existing workforce and recruitment of experienced and qualified staff to meet the growing demands for the Hope service.

  6. To continue to develop operational systems, policies and procedures to ensure the safeguarding of service users and staff.

Volunteers contribute to the work of the charity supporting by fundraising, but also in administration, publicity, marketing and support at youth sessions and activities. All members of staff also volunteer on a regular basis. The Youth Management Team (Y-Team) are all volunteers and are a significant part of the organisation.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Achievements and performance

Significant achievements this year include:

Procurement of significant funding for allocated provision and core costs from a range of sources including HCC Safer Communities Fund, Postcode Lottery and the Brailsford Trust.

Translation of key information documentation into Polish.

Development of bespoke practical support tools for use with young people in session.

Ongoing consultancy regarding the script for illness and bereavement-based storylines in BBC's EastEnders.

Continued provision of regular sessions delivered by the frontline team to young people across Herefordshire being accessed by growing numbers - 513 children and young people accessed support over this financial year, including 191 accessing for the first time.

Increased involvement with schools with 2 members of staff predominantly working 1-1 with pupils in school time.

Provision of, on average, 133 one-to-ones each month, online and face-to-face, for young people to share worries and work on coping strategies.

Peer support remains key to our offer and this year the Team have delivered 80 youth sessions, 22 activity days/ small group projects and one summer residential, in venues across Herefordshire and online.

Both the Youth Management Team and Advisory Team continue to thrive.

Financial review

The employment of a part time fundraiser has resulted in increased funding as well as early exploration of alternative income streams for the future. The Hope Team has worked hard to host fundraisers and engage with potential funders in person. Funding has been forthcoming from many sources, allowing our valuable delivery to work fully throughout the year. The year’s total income was £297,753, and we ended the year with a profit of £28,368. Our investment reserves now stand at £90,000. and this sum will shortly be moved to a more accessible account, to allow access for business expansion if required.

Funding sources

We are grateful to all the funders, large and small who have supported our charity throughout the year. Funding for the Charity sector remains challenging but our sources have been outstanding in supporting our work. The National Lottery Community Fund has continued to be our largest donor but this has added to by Children in Need, and monies from many other charitable trusts, coupled with individual and local group donations and fundraising events have been exceptional.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees continue to manage the investment cautiously and the investment represents approximately six months’ reserves. During the year it was agreed to turn the investment into a cash reserve removing the funds from mainly property bonds given the downturn in the property market. This cash reserve will be transferred to an interest earning saving account with a national bank managing ethical and socially responsible funds shortly.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOPE'S CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLES SUPPORT SERVICES

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hope's Children & Young Peoples Support Services (the charity) for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Hope's Children & Young Peoples Support Services is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Overross House, Ross Park, Ross-On-Wye, Herefordshire, HR9 7US, England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 allocated 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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and equipment 25% on cost
Computers 25% on cost
App 25% on cost

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

HOPE'S CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLES SUPPORT SERVICES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
