Objectives and activities

Caramel Rock Limited
Trustees' Annual Report (continued) Year ended 30 November 2023
Objectives and activities (continued)
a. Objectives
Caramel Rock's objectives include supporting young people and their families, providing skills, experience and qualifications, and improving young people's confidence, motivation and ambition in order to help them develop positive opportunities in their lives.
We specifically use fashion as a means to engage with young people because of the interest it holds for so many young people, as well as the fact that it provides significant and relevant opportunities for employment in the London retail sector.
Another key objective for Caramel Rock is changing the relationship that young people have with fashion, encouraging awareness and understanding of 'fast fashion' and how fashion can be more sustainable.
We believe that young people hold the key to change, as they are the next generation of consumers, retailers, and business leaders.
Aims:
Skill Development: Provide participants with opportunities to develop practical skills related to various aspects of fashion design, such as sketching, pattern-making, sewing, garment construction, styling, or textile manipulation.
Creativity and Innovation: Foster creativity and innovation by encouraging participants to explore new ideas, experiment with different materials, and develop their unique design aesthetic.
Experience: As an arts training provider we aim to help young people in disadvantaged circumstances that may not have the right support or guidance and help them to connect with industry professionals, gain experience and receive the qualification they need to achieve their future career.
Support: one to one support for young people and their communities to build self-awareness and confidence to progress on their future journey.
We aim to advance the education for disadvantaged young people in the fashion and creative arts sector to a superior level.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives.
To achieve these aims Caramel Rock have a strategy to embed Sustainability and awareness of the circular fashion economy. The Sustainability Project builds knowledge of the circular fashion economy to the next generation to work in the sector.
We have a strong belief in shaping our future leaders and therefore we offer, in every course, a personal development scheme, as well as helping young people, it is also our mission to provide people (children and young adults) with the knowledge and expertise of the fashion industry, to help them form a solid foundation for a brighter future.
Our goals are also reached through organising and implementing our own Caramel Rock Fashion Show and other events.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives. Fashion and Creative Arts
Fashion and Creative Arts
As a fashion and arts charity, we use creative arts as a tool to instil confidence and skills to those that are passionate about pursuing a career in this sector or for those that show true potential. Not only is fashion a profitable market but also the creative industry builds life skills by encouraging individuals to think creatively and solve problems efficiently. Our academy promotes creative (career?) pathways such as fashion, the arts and dance and develops individuals and local people through opportunities of work experience within the sector.
Caramel Rock delivers our objectives by providing one on one support with young people and their families, an accredited BTEC vocational diploma level 1 and 2 in fashion and clothing, portfolio and CV development and work experience placements.
Education
At Caramel Rock we believe that everybody has the right to education. Everybody has the right to be empowered, inspired and given an opportunity to uncover their highest potential in life. For us education is power, it's a tool that can improve and sharpen lives but most importantly we use it to close the fashion technical skills gap in the Fashion sector. Our passion for both educating people and advancing the local community enables us to enrich the lives of individuals and encourage them to come together with a shared vision and one voice to advance their community. Our education programme includes BTEC Vocational Diploma Levels 1 and in fashion and clothing, workshops and events.
Job Training
As a fashion and arts academy, our students are trying to increase future prospects in the fashion and arts sector. We are passionate about seeking ways to increase job training for young people. Fashion is considered a leading industry in terms of employing young people from the age of 18-30 which we are proud of and want to do our part by bringing opportunities to people. Many of our young pupils have successfully completed and have gained further experience and work in the fashion industry. We only aim to further this and provide our services for a wider population of young people without jobs or the right connections to land them into employment within the fashion sector. This is embedded into the delivery of all of our programmes and activities. Job training includes placements and internships with businesses such as ASOS and local fashion brands and businesses.
Strengthening Communities
We believe that the community is at the very heart of what we do. We encourage local people to work together to not only strengthen the community but increase individual engagement and involvement in the lives of others. Much of our work is geared towards inspiring the community to work together and take an interest in what is going on around them. We help to prompt conversation between the young and the elderly. By instigating dialogue between parents and children, teenagers, and elderly we hope to create a bond between local people in the community and increase richness to the community. Activities such as workshops, events, fashion shows, pop up shops cover the scope of our offer in strengthening communities. We promote and celebrate diversity and inclusion within the community, fostering respect, empathy, and understanding across different cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic groups. Our programmes empower by providing leadership development opportunities through our youth committee, enabling community members to take initiative, collaborate effectively, and drive positive change within their neighbourhoods or organisations.

Mentoring and Enrichment
At Caramel Rock we are passionate about seeing this generation work towards their dreams. We are enthusiastic about mentoring and instilling confidence in those that intend to develop their lives, or even start up their own business. We have a keen interest in helping to nurture and prepare individuals into their desired dreams and although we specialise in the creative industries we have mentored people who have gone on to do many other things. Our support is to ensure our beneficiaries gain a better understanding of how they can develop their skills and most importantly how they can contribute to society. We provide monthly mentoring sessions to support the development of each of those aged 30 and below in their career development and aspirations. The mentoring monthly sessions cover skills development and identify areas for improvement or skill development and create learning opportunities such as workshops, training sessions, or hands-on experiences. The programme includes feedback and reflection and provides constructive feedback on mentee's performance, projects, or behaviours, and encourages self-reflection to promote continuous learning and growth.
Objectives and activities
d. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit.
Caramel Rock works with industry experts in varied fields to progress its work. We are committed to developing the next generation of creative's by giving people the opportunity to access resources, courses, opportunities, and gain working experience in the creative arts.
We work with young people and adults as well as vulnerable people and help them get back into employment or training by equipping them with the skills they need through the creative arts. We use fashion as a creative means to engage with people. Some students may just want to gain some experience or have a platform to showcase their work within the industry; this is something we also provide.
We also work with young people with disabilities and aim to engage them in our activities , so that they can discover their own passion. We believe that every person has a talent and a purpose, and we set out to show a wide range of people their ability and potential to succeed. We are a Christian organisation that stands on Christian values.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
Caramel Rock is a dynamic youth focused charity that uses the engaging mediums of fashion and creative arts to improve education, employment and social inclusion opportunities for disadvantaged young people living within the London Borough of Newham and neighbouring areas such as Tower Hamlets, the City and Docklands.
Pathways through Education: Formed as a Charity (registration number 1137133) our creative projects look to provide pathways back into education, employment, or training for NEET (not in employment, education or training) young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are disengaged from formal learning environments. We work with over 250 young people each year through a team of 4 staff and 12 volunteers. Our success and retention rates are as follows:
- 80% achieve full qualification and complete programme engagement.70% progress into employment or training in the 6-month post programme
We follow up with all participants within the 6 months window to confirm they are still engaged within the workplace or further training post the support Caramel Rock has provided.
Engagement and Participation: The youth activities organised under Caramel Rock have successfully engaged young people from diverse backgrounds. Attendance rates have been consistently high,

Trustees' Annual Report (continued) Year ended 30 November 2023
Financial review (continued)
a. Reserves policy
Caramel Rock is currently dependent on sub-contract from educational institutions such as colleges and schools as well as grants and trust funding (source of income) to sustain its activities, as earned income alone would not allow Caramel Rock to continue operating.
This means that if there were to be a gap in Caramel Rock (source of debtor) it is likely that Caramel Rock would have to close.
To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the Caramel Rock board has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 3 months.
The main concerns of the board are to ensure:
-
that staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding.
-
that members/service users are supported to move on to other services.
Currently funding has been secured until the end of each academic year, but if difficulties were to arise then, it has been calculated those reserves of £30,000 must be built to continue running for at least 3 months.
The calculations include staff salaries, pensions, and payments to HMRC, rent, basic office running costs and other expenses as well as an allowance for redundancy payments to eligible staff should the organisation be forced to close.
If service delivery to vulnerable clients is a key factor, reserves may also take into account costs of moving users on to alternative services or a period of wind-down services over 3 months.
The reserves should be built up from the unrestricted (earned) income. The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored every 3 months by Caramel Rock (staff or board member) This policy should be reviewed yearly and whenever there are significant changes in staff hours or numbers.
b. Deficit
The cumulative deficit in the Charity's unrestricted fund balance is largely attributable to the capacity building activities it has been carrying out since moving to its new premises in 2018. Related expenditures have been mainly financed by a social investment fund loan awarded to the Charity. The Trustees are committed to ensuring the future financial stability of the Charity and plan to leverage the improved capacity to eliminate this deficit by 2023/24 financial year through sustained fundraising activities and attracting additional contract income.
c. Financial results
The net income for the year amounted to £39,196 (2022: £7,561). No corporation tax is expected to arise on the results for the period.

3. Accounting policies
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Caramel Rock Limited Notes to the Financial
Statements (continued) Year ended 30 November 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments, if any, are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Contingent liabilities arise as a result of past events when (i) it is not pobable that there will be an outflow of resources or that the amount cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date or (ii) when the existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the company’s control.Contingent liabilities are disclosed In the financial statements unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote.
4. Limited by guarantee. The company is limited by guarantee and does not contain any share capital.
