TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

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 memorandum and articles of association, 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 published in October 2019.

Objectives and activities

NFS Mediation Limited (“the Charity”) currently provides a range of high-quality diverse mediation and restorative services in Southampton, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Wiltshire and South West England. Services are delivered by a team of qualified employees and trained community-based volunteer mediators and restorative practitioners.

All income generated during the reporting period derived from commissioned mediation, assessment, restorative, coaching, and hoarding support services provided under contractual agreements with a range of partner organisations. A small proportion of income was also generated through ad hoc service sales. This income enables the Charity to sustain and develop our staff and volunteers, deliver services free at the point of use to residents in Southampton and referred service users throughout our operating region, and promote the broader adoption of mediation and restorative practices across our operational areas.

The Charity did not receive any grant funding this reporting period.

The trustees have actively adhered to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Charity objects are:

Achievements and performance

Despite ongoing challenges within the sector, the Charity has delivered strongly against its charitable objectives and provided significant success throughout this reporting period. Our innovative approach and agility to respond to contracted customer need continue to bring us stability and success.

Governance has remained robust throughout the year. Trustees have continued to review and strengthen governance frameworks, update internal policies to ensure compliance with new legislation, and make certain all services are risk assessed to safeguard our volunteers, staff, and service users. The Charity’s Governance Handbook is being fully updated and will be completed during the coming year, while continuing to operate under our three-year strategic plan 2024-27.

Three trustees stepped down from the Trustee Board during this year—two long serving trustees - our former Chair, Michael Joseph and mediator/trustee, Mike Tyler - left us at our AGM in November, and Stephen Smith stepped down in January. The Charity would like to thank all for their service and the skills and strategic expertise and oversight they brought to the Charity.

The Board remains committed to leading a safe, well-governed organisation. Continuous professional development remains a priority, with trustees, staff and volunteers completing training in sexual harassment, safeguarding vulnerable adults, equality and diversity, neurodiversity, trauma-informed practice, lone working, conflict coaching, and mental health awareness.

NFS MEDIATION LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The year began with the launch of our new contracted Psychological Support for Hoarders service for Southampton City Council (SCC) housing tenants and residents referred through Adult Social Services departments in Southampton.

This service grew out of Landlord Tenant Mediation and has now evolved into a groundbreaking model of delivering cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) approaches in the middle of hoards in people’s homes to create safer and more sustainable homes. Linked to this we established a monthly Peer Support Group whose success is said to be life changing by a number of the group members. We are pleased that this much needed service is continuing during 2025/6 with potential for further one plus one annual extensions. The success and achievement of this service reflects our capacity to deliver complex, sensitive work.

The Charity’s core service remains the provision of our Mediation Assessment Service to reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and neighbour disputes. We have continued to adapt this service within a dynamic and evolving commissioning environment, responding to housing provider mergers and structural changes. This self-designed service is now approaching its 25th year and has been the service on which the Charity has built and grown. We currently deliver this service to SCC as the first step in SCC Housing’s anti-social behaviour procedure. We also deliver to other local authorities and a number of housing providers under contract. The resilience of this service has stood the test of time and reflects the Charity’s reputation for innovation, quality and successful delivery.

This year also marked the third year of a successful partnership with Abri Housing Association, further expanding our geographical reach and enabling conflict resolution services free at the point of access. A new coaching service for Abri has also been well received. Additional services delivered this year included:

Public Benefit

In 2024–25, across our services, the Charity supported over 587 restorative cases, representing 1,141 households and directly engaging 1,775 individuals. Of cases closed with a Mediation/No Further Action outcome, 93% did not return to the referrer within a six month period.

We serve many individuals facing compounding vulnerabilities, including mental health, developmental needs, trauma and physical challenges. Many of our customers have limited access to support networks. At the heart of our service is time: giving individuals space to be heard and validated, with many being signposted to other appropriate support services and networks. Some of the issues include poverty, hunger, and lack of heat, water or access to healthcare. As well as improving disputes and communication the above associated benefits from our services remains our most impactful intervention. Given the size of our Charity and the breadth of our operating area, our impact is substantial. Despite economic constraints, our value-for-money, independent services remain a critical asset to our business partners.

Future Plans

We are working to our 2024–2027 Strategic Plan. Priorities include:

We remain committed to sustaining excellence while adapting to an increasingly complex service delivery environment.

We continue to look to improve and invest in all of our existing services to develop new initiatives for our customers in an ever changing and increasingly challenging environment of diminishing resources as well as individual hardship and isolation for many to whom we provide our services.

To achieve our strategic aims our future plans include staff and volunteer recruitment building greater resilience within our staff and volunteer base to support rising service demand, particularly focusing on services with lengthier service delivery models.

In addition we will be bringing a sharper focus to our workplace mediation service and CPD training delivery team developing a more specialist team in each service for more effective and consistent delivery.

Investment in the continuous professional and personal development of our staff and volunteers remains a

central plank in the ongoing development of the Charity.

We move into the future from a strong and stable platform with the experience to grow and traverse the currents of change in an ever shifting social and business environment.

Financial review

The company has had another satisfactory year recording net income of £43,620 (2024: £6,342). Income from Charitable Activities increased by £79,017, while expenditure rose by £42,687, largely due to new Hoarding Support Service contract and increased staff expenses, rent and insurance increases.

Last year the Board raised the Charity’s reserve policy from three to four months of annualised income. As at 31 March 2025, reserves stood at £230,170, significantly exceeding the stated policy but deemed appropriate given future investment plans, continuing uncertainty about future contract renewals, and increases in potential local economic fluctuations within which the Charity operates.

Total income for the year to 31 March 2025: £375,639 Reserves held at 31 March 2025: £230,170

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), 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 issued in October 2019, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and applicable charity and company law. 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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 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.

Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees for specific purposes. Restricted funds are to be used with the specific purposes specified by the donors. All other funds are unrestricted general income funds.

Transfers are made between funds when adequate justification and supporting evidence is provided.

1.4 Incoming resources

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. Income is stated net of VAT.

Grants from local authorities and similar organisations have been included as contracts for services where applicable but as donations where the money is given with greater freedom of use.

Income received for future periods is deferred until those periods.

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 can be measured reliably and receipt is probable. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

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.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred and is stated net of VAT where applicable.

The cost of charitable activities includes all costs incurred in delivering the charitable company's principal objectives and governance costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company.

1.6 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.

1.7 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.

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.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.8 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.

1.9 Retirement benefits

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

1.10 Debtors

Trade debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

1.11 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 the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts 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.
