REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
This year we have successfully transitioned to our additional educational space at Base 51.
The new space consists of a classroom area, ICT suite and purpose built studio and vocal booth. There are also additional rooms that are being utilised as office space.
We also have access to break out areas upstairs with access to a pool table and games consoles and an enclosed outdoor area with a basketball net, table tennis and mini climbing wall.
Upstairs there are gym facilities, a shower and laundry room a dance studios and a small commercial kitchen that is used for school lunches.
This year has been particularly busy for us. We have seen 33 young people through our doors ending the year with 22 young people on roll and we have received referrals from 8 different schools this academic year.
We unfortunately lost our Maths and English teacher just before Christmas and subsequently struggled to recruit a replacements. These post were then filled internally. We have welcome 1 new staff member this year and will also be welcoming another member to the team in September. Increasing our capacity whilst maintaining standards has been our mission this year and we have made so gains towards achieving this.
We have been able to offer a more bespoke timetable for some learners, including 121 provision at the Gregory Boulevard Site.
Our mentoring programs, which receive invaluable support from the Violence Reduction Unit, have demonstrated unwavering commitment to assisting a significant number of vulnerable young adults who are at risk. In this ever-evolving landscape, each new day brings its unique set of challenges for both our dedicated staff and the young individuals we serve. Despite these challenges, our commitment to making a positive impact remains steadfast.
Furthermore, our sustained efforts have been made possible through the continuous backing of the Reaching Communities Fund. With this crucial support, we've managed to maintain and expand our community engagement activities. As part of our ongoing mission to foster positive change in the community, we have introduced a new and exciting Healthy Living Program into our array of activities.
The Healthy Living Program is designed to encourage and empower community families to access a variety of health and wellness initiatives that are readily available to them. By offering resources and guidance, we aim to inspire these families to adopt a healthier lifestyle, not only for themselves but for the well-being of the entire family unit. This holistic approach aligns with our broader vision of nurturing healthier and more vibrant communities, ensuring that our impact extends beyond individual assistance to the betterment of the entire community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The statement of financial activities indicates net income for the year ended 31st March 2023 of £25,739 and total funds of £243,133 at that date, £2,551 of which is restricted.
The Trustees are actively seeking further funding to enable the Charity to continue to provide its program of activities.
In line with Charity Commission recommendations, the Trustees have set the minimum level of reserves at an amount sufficient to cover all normal operating expenses for a six month period.
