## **chair’s statement** 

We are reporting on a financial year when life as we know it, simply unraveled. Covid-19 hit Children Ahead, as it did people and organisations across the world, as a bolt from the blue. 

Liba, a single mother of three children, one with severe ADHD, had every reason to fall apart when lockdown was enforced. Living in a small two-bedroom apartment, with no other adult to share the burden of care with, had life heading towards disastrous. But Liba felt listened-to and understood in the remote parenting groups organised by Children Ahead, and gained practical, targeted strategies for staying sane and positive in face of crisis. 

Her son, Pini, got his own support package to help him cope. His therapist, herself working in challenging conditions during lockdown, helped plan a sensory diet that provided him with the right amount of stimulation, safely. Together with his mum she also prepared a visual timetable along with activity packages that would help the family maintain structure in the long, school-less days. 

‘What should have been a nightmare for us, actually turned out to be a turning point for our family’ Liba shares. ‘Until now, the family dynamics were such that Pini was the problem child who got lots of external input, but we didn’t know how to relate to him or help him at home. Lockdown and your direct support helped us channel Pini’s energy in positive ways, connected him to his sisters and reframed my role as a mother who can hold them all, guide them and help develop their resilience.’ 

In a matter of days, we were adapting a vibrant, faceto-face service working with hundreds of children and families, to the new and strange realities of selfisolation and social distancing. 


We are pleased to share Strengths Unmasked, our annual report and accounts for 2020, uncovering some of the most magnificent positive powers that come forth when pande/mic/monium strikes. 

Our funders and supporters came forward flexibly and intuitively to enable our staff to creatively and compassionately respond and adapt to arising needs, within Covid guidelines and restrictions. 

Throughout the chaos, Children Ahead remained a source of comfort, stability and healing for 505 children and 488 families.

## **COVID RESPONSE TIMELINE** 



14 

15 


Awareness about mental health and requests for support, have both been on the rise for several years running. Covid significantly accelerated demand. Contrary to dire predictions, mainstream children without a history of mental health problems generally did okay. However, those with existing mental health problems suffered alone. Many had their regular input called off or reduced and with other factors such as living conditions, finances and parental wellbeing in bad shape, deterioration was inevitable.

## **How are these children supported?** 

## Surprising Fact: **Some children with learning difficulties did** better **away from** school pressures. 

**• Child psychotherapy sessions** We use a range of modalities including EMDR, CBT, Arts & Music Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA), Systemic Psychotherapy and Person-Centred Approaches. 

## **• Whole-family wellbeing intervention** 

We give the entire family tools and practical exercises to support and strengthen their family wellbeing. 

**• Social and Emotional Skills groups** We teach the children, in groups of 3, how to build and use healthy 

relationship skills.

## **Speech & Language Service** 

Difficulties in speech, language or communication skills undercut the success of most social and educational experiences. Whether it’s the fear of joining class discussions, lacking the words to express their emotions or just missing the point in daily conversations, children with speech, language and communication challenges are left feeling out of the loop and alone. Covid and social distancing exacerbated these problems, particularly for those who were digitally unconnected and therefore excluded.

## **Occupational Therapy Service** 

Motor skills and sensory problems are a physical ‘offness’ that has children feeling awkward and uncomfortable in their own skin. Whether it’s clumsiness, lack of spatial awareness or needing less or more touch than their environment provides, occupational therapy can help with both regulation and integration. 

## **presenting problems:**

## **“ How are these children supported?** 

David has ADHD. Without his regular sport outlets he was releasing his frustration on my other kids. At times, my house felt unsafe. Then David’s OT created a ‘sensory diet’ for him. The full day schedule of home activities channeled his energy into positive things and literally allowed us to breathe again. 

- **Individual occupational therapy sessions** 

A sensory/motor skills difficulty, points to a muscle weakness that is the source of the difficulty. OT exercises target the core muscles to develop the child’s neurodevelopment, sensory-motor and cognitive skills. 

- **Sensory diets** 

Specifically in lockdown, with no schedule, therapists provided children with ‘sensory diets’ - a full day schedule that allowed for a variety of sensory activities. 

- **Motor Skills groups** 

Children receive individual targets in a group setting and together to breathe again. work on balance, endurance, coordination and posture.

## **Parent Resource Centre** 


Parents are Covid’s unsung heroes. Lockdown made them full-time educators, or at least full time virtual education coordinators, at the same time as being full-time housekeepers and breadwinners, and in-house wellbeing officers and counselors. For those with large families in tight quarters, the burden was even greater. Maintaining family-wide emotional equilibrium and positivity in face of illness, panic and sometimes loss of income, was a hard and thankless task. Children Ahead’s parenting support services have been a shoulder to lean on. A place to recharge and gain the validation and empowerment to continue giving. 

## **Parenting training group:** 

With parenting and behaviour management strategies needed more than ever, we transferred our in-person groups to the virtual space. The programmes were delivered in a mix of group sessions where parents gained general behaviour-management strategies, and individual sessions where professionals helped parents nail the problems in the context of their family dynamics. 

## **“ Helpline:** 

**The phone parenting groups were a lifesaver. During lockdown when we were home all day, every day, without even being able to see my mother, who we used to visit daily (and who is my main parenting cheering squad), the Wednesday evening classes powered me through the week. I owe my family’s sanity to Didi.** 

Through our newly-launched helpline, parents were able to book a twenty minute consultation sessions with professionals for guidance around issues relating to: 

- **Children’s behaviour** 

- **Children’s social skills** 

- **Educational engagement levels** 

- **Emotional difficulties such as depression, anxieties and phobias** 

Professionals staffing the helpline included: psychotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and specialist teachers. 

Parents got targeted, actionable advice with strategies they could implement at home. Where necessary, they were also signposted and/or referred to other appropriate services that could support them.

## **No Internet Means:** 

## **Digital Hub** 

**Meir’s therapy intervention programme was put on hold as the phone sessions were not working too well. His parents were however reporting a relapse, with his anxiety back fullforce, impacting him and the entire family in a bad way. Using the digital hub we were able to safely resume art therapy and Meir was supported to relearn calming and regulation strategies that helped him cope.** 

Children Ahead Child Psychotherapist 

Pre-covid, Children Ahead services were all face-to-face. Overnight, the world turned virtual and we were suddenly in a position where over 85% of the children and parents we work with had no internet access. To a limited extent we could use phone sessions for holding and closure, but ultimately children needed a safe haven, physically and culturally, where they could have digital access and thereby engage in virtual therapy. And thus the digital hub was born. 

- **No online access to mainstream mental-health support services** 

- **No online support groups and forums** 

- **No virtual therapy sessions** 

## **Virtual Therapy Sessions** 

**Children with no digital access could use the hub for virtual therapy sessions with their therapist. All equipment is sterilised between uses and screens separate the children for both privacy and covid safety.**

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Trustees are happy to report continued development and expansion which resulted in turnover increased to £828,420. Securing funding to facilitate organisation running and growth was a test of endurance during the pandemic, and we are indebted to both our longstanding supporters who have stood behind us through the years, and the new funders who have enabled emergency Covid-response services. The year ended with a surplus of £26,597.The Trustees gratefully acknowledge that the outstanding impact and achievement of the organisation and our ability to adapt and thrive through Covid-19 are largely due to the substantial and generous support of the following charitable trusts and foundations: The Big Lottery Fund, The City Bridge Trust, BBC Children in Need, The Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation, Comic Relief, The Kirsh Foundation, Government Coronavirus Mental Health Response Fund (MIND) , LB Hackney, Delapage Ltd and other anonymous supporters and community donors. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity and safeguarding of its beneficiaries. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** 

D Goldberg, FCA DChA has been re-appointed as independent examiner for the ensuring year. 

## **SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS** 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees aim to hold free reserves at a level sufficient to protect services and ensure adequate cashflow for the organisation’s needs. The aspiration is for this to be at a level of at least 3 months (but no more than 12 months’) equivalent of the charity’s unrestricted operating costs. The Charity’s reserves have not yet reached that level, however, we note that at no time has there been a cashflow risk to the organisation. As at 31st July 2019 the organisation’s reserves have risen to £128,441. 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees believe that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. The charity was able to continue operating during the Covid-19 lockdown, with the commitment and support from funders and stakeholders who invest in our work. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption. 

## **APPROVAL** 

This report was approved by the trustees on 31 May 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**

## **1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note. 

The financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## Fund accounting 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditurewhich meets these criteria is charged to the fund. Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for thecharitable purposes. 

## Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is classified under the following headings: 

## Public Benefit entity 

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## Going Concern 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities and services undertakento further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

## Allocation of support costs 

## Judgements and key sources of uncertainty 

The trustees do not consider that there are any judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly tothat activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity,comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function (support costs), is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on the use by each activity of staff time or other overhead costs, of the amount attributable to each activity. Childrens Intervention 53% 

School Support and Training 11% Wohl Parents Resource Centre 25%

## **2. Income from Charitable Activities** 

## Financial instruments 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financingtransaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

## Debtors 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. 

## Creditors and provisions 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and theamount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors andprovisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any tradediscounts due. 

## Fixed assets 

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. 

## Depreciation 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life at a rate which the trustees assume to be most appropriate
