Structure, governance and management

Constitution

The charity (Number 1148238) is a company limited by guarantee (Number 07962125), incorporated on 23rd February 2012 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is administered and led by a Board of Trustees, details of which are given on page 1.

Method of appointment of election of trustees

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees, who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Trustees are appointed to the Board of Trustees by an open recruitment process, inviting applications with appropriate skills, experience and/or qualifications. The successful applicants are invited to formal Interview in accordance with the Safer Recruitment procedures, (this is applied to all voluntary as well as paid positions within the organisation) with the Trustees prior to their appointment at a Board Meeting.

Polices adopted for the induction and training of trustees

All newly appointed Trustees meet with the Trustees and are introduced to the Centres of Operation. They meet with staff and are given a reading list of relevant documentation, policies, systems and procedures.

Organisational structure and decision making

The Board of Trustees are responsible for agreeing the strategic direction of the organisation, ratifying policy and ensuring compliance with internal governance and external regulations and legislation.

The Board of Trustees convenes regularly and where required for extraordinary meetings.

Day-to-day management of the organisation is delegated to the Chief Executive and thereafter to the Executive Team. The Executive Team is defined as the Chief Experience Officer, the Chief Operations Officer, and the chief Experience Officer.

The charity operates broadly in four areas: therapeutics, families, education, and business. Mental health is led by the Mental Health Lead; other Therapeutics is led by the Strategic Manager for SEND and Safeguarding; Families is led by the Families Lead; Education is led by Heads of Centre; Business is led by the Executive Team.

The charity has four centres in Devon and currently also works in the community using public buildings, and where appropriate makes visits to homes.

Health and safety

There is a trained Health and Safety Trustee and also a trained Health and Safety Lead who oversees all four centres.

Safeguarding

The organisation trains all staff to Group 2 level in Safeguarding (during induction and annually) and currently has 5 staff, including one ~~T~~ rustee, who are trained to Group 3 level in Safeguarding. There is also a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a Deputy. All staff and students receive training in the Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), Prevent Strategy and FGM.

Strategic report

Meeting needs of service users

The charity has seen a significant increase in the uptake of its services in the years 2020 to 2021. As a result, there has been significant recruitment of Teachers and Core Workers.

Continued Covid restrictions have meant that it has been necessary to be both flexible and creative in the management of provision, particularly where staff or students and their families have been infected. There has been a regular stream of variations of advice from Central Government, all of which has had to be sensitively rolled out to students, families and staff. Post the Covid Lockdown which began in March 2020, we encouraged full attendance by students and staff, although those who were classed as Extremely Clinically Vulnerable were afforded reasonable adjustments. Subsequent to the commencement of vaccinations on 8th December, 2020, as staff and students took their first and second vaccines, we continued to exercise robust infection control systems within our buildings and in social settings. Vaccines meant that those who contracted the infection appeared to weather the illness with more resistance than prior to vaccination.

Families workers and practitioners have again provided a reliable and consistent highway of communication between students and their families and through to all staff involved. There has been a new, more intense set of problems arising out of continued Covid restrictions, financial hardship, unemployment, furlough, business failure, families being forced together with no respite for prolonged periods of time, untreated illness, loneliness, isolation, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges.

Training and Development

We are seeing the complexity of student profiles becoming more intense and multi-faceted and as a consequence, we recognised the need for more specialised training. In particular, when we indicated that we wanted to recruit BACP/NCS Level 4 Qualified Counsellors, we have seen a number of existing staff with a well-proven track record and with a suitable character profile, ask to be considered for counselling training. Growing this expertise from within our own staff base has proved to be successful. Our plan is that where the organisation continues to expand, that every year one or two applications will be accepted from suitable staff to train for counselling.

Although we have a rich range of professional specialisms and qualifications within the families team, they are beginning to expand their range of specialist interventions through a progression of training in order to address the ever-growing and changing intervention and support needs being experienced by families.

Employees and volunteers

The Board of Trustees would like to record its appreciation of the commitment to the charity of all staff and volunteers.

Breakthrough Transformation Trust is committed to investing in staff development throughout all departments. The team provides professional and personal development courses throughout each year, both through internal training and external nationally recognised qualifications. Where appropriate, the charity also engages with external training suppliers to provide courses. This is particularly important for areas of high accountability such as Control and Restraint, First Aid, Fire Marshalling, Group 3 3 Safeguarding and Health and Safety.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2021

Breakthrough recognises its social and statutory duty to employ persons with additional needs and individuals on Government-assisted work schemes wherever possible and strategic planning is in place to assist in providing openings for these within the organisation.

The Board of Directors extend deep gratitude to the Telecommunications Company EE, Plymouth Centre, for the highly valued help and support they have given, both in terms of allowing corporate volunteers to attend Cannamore Farm, where they have worked tirelessly on estates projects and on helping to maintain the grounds.

Our supporters in the community

In addition to the help mentioned in the previous paragraph, the charity has during the period in question, received regular donations from two independent supporters. There have also been a number of oneoff donations. We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has participated in this support.

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

In setting objectives and planning activities for the year, the Trustees gave careful consideration to ensuring that the charity's activities are to the public benefit, having due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

1.Delivery of excellent practice to those whom we serve through therapeutics, families work, education, and within the community - through measurement, reflective practice, and completion of inspections and audits.

2.Provision of excellent value for money for commissioners, providing a high-quality service, where the quality of teaching and learning, of therapeutic interventions, of assessment, progression and transition, and every aspect of the service is monitored through a Quality of Provision process which will undergo root and branch restructuring now and be developed throughout the next academic year.

3.A new centre was purchased in North Devon (Feb 2021) to continue the provision currently in place via the rental facilities. This new property, Lilcott Farm, is strategically placed in Atherington, and is ideally suited to cover a catchment area stretching from; Okehampton to the south, Tiverton to the southeast, Barnstaple to the north, Bideford to the north-west and Torrington to the west. Lilcott Farm is a working small-holding and the plans are to develop it as a successful farm shop and butchery providing work experience to learners across several disciplines.

4.In Newton Abbot, a rental property has been sourced to extend our capacity for learners. This is centre is located in the town centre, close the mainline railway station. This is providing additional accommodation for a specialism in therapeutics, therapeutic education. This centre will focus on becoming life- and employment-/further-/higher education-ready and prepared.

5.The charity continues to develop its strategic plans to take into account the rapid rate of commissioning; to analyse the type of up-scaling which will be required to continue growing the organisation in a safe and sustainable manner.

6.To analyse trends in our market sector, research potential competitors, and liaise with stakeholders. Use this data to inform forward planning.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2021

a. The continued build and of log cabins at Cannamore Farm centre to increase learner capacity. These have proved to be very successful and the learners are finding the new spaces excellent areas to work in

h. Regarding site maintenance, in order to ensure that the toilet facilities were working properly and as a result of a previous septic tank fault, a new Sewage Treatment Plant was required at Cannamore Farm at a cost of £31,500

Financial review

The results for the year are shown on page 15. The total income for the year is £2,888,648 (2020: £2,171,146) and the total expenditure is £2,500,251 (2020: £1,933,450) which gives a net movement of funds of £388,397 (2020: £237,696). The unrestricted fund balance at 31 August 2021 is £1,580,911.

The principal source of funding is via Element 3, which is the funding required over and above the place funding to enable a child with high needs to participate in education and learning and covers education, health, and care. The majority is commissioned by Devon County Council.

Reserves policy

Reserves are required in order that the charity is protected against future events, known and unknown and is able to maximise future opportunities and weather any future challenges that could possibly arise.

The charity has a long-term commitment to participant service users and it requires long-term plans. The charity's short-term commitment is up to 1 term; medium-term commitment to be up to 2 terms and long-term commitment to be 3 terms or longer (many courses for post-16 require at least two years to complete the syllabus.

Where it is deemed correct and right to place an individual within our service, it is usual that the Devon County Council 0-25 Special Educational Needs Team, together with, or independent from Devon County Council Children or Adult Social Services will commit to educate them for at least the remainder of that Academic Year, and usually beyond that time. Some young people are commissioned to be with the charity for full weeks, and some for part of the week, but the same principle normally applies. Therefore, there is some stability of income during the Academic Year.

Year ended 31 August 2021

The benefit of a Reserves Policy is:

To assist in strategic planning, for example, considering how new projects or activities will be funded To inform the budget process, for example, is it a balanced budget, or do reserves need to be drawn down or built up?

To inform the budget and risk management process by identifying any uncertainty in future income streams

To demonstrate to beneficiaries, donors, funders and the wider public that the charity is being protected from future challenges and changes in economic circumstances

Guiding principles to justify the level of reserves and their use:

To protect and sustain the charity's activities should income or expenditure become seriously out of line with expectations

To have a level of funds available to support the payment of mortgages and staff wages in the event of having to downsize the services of the charity while seeking further funding

To have a sufficient level of funds available to support new long term charitable initiatives in their launch phase and before fundraising support can be fully realised.

Level of Reserves to meet policy objectives:

To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen, the Board of Trustees has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that all charitable activities can continue for a period of three months. The main concerns are to ensure: that staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding, and that as a last resort, beneficiaries are supported to move on to other services. It has been calculated that reserves of £535,000 are sufficient to cover staff wages plus our mortgage commitment for 3 months. This reserve would be made up in the ratio 1 part cash reserves and 2 parts equity from property owned by the charity.

It is anticipated that should such an event take place, during the period of grace provided by the existence of reserves, that the activities of the charity may be re-designed.

If strategic cash reserves fall below £100,000 that would trigger an immediate review of income and expenditure to ensure no further cash loss.

Strategic considerations on the level of reserves:

To support long term strategic objectives and improve the charity's overall financial security, in the event of the negative impact of any financial challenges, the Board of Trustees have agreed to review reserves annually, streamlining expenditure, and not detracting from the quality, quantity or nature of the service.

Investment policy and performance

The charity is investing in the upgrading and development of its properties so that there is more room for the demand which it is experiencing for its services. Reserves were, during the accounting year ending 31st August 2021, held in an accessible bank account where the interest rate was <0.5%. Funds were required to be held in an account with quick, penalty-free availability in order that we should be able to purchase and install safety features at Brocks Farm. Future investments will be strategically planned after consultation with financial advisors

Attitude to risk:

Breakthrough Transformation Trust relies on its income from commissioners to support operating costs.

The key risks to the long-term sustainability of the charity are:

(i) changes in Government policy regarding non-registered Alternative Provision

(ii) changes in Central Government or Local Government regulations which would adversely affect a funding stream

(iii) ensuring that Element 3 Funding costs are accurately calculated

(iv) catastrophic mishandling of funds or fraud

(v) a catastrophic safeguarding or health and safety breach, which would call into question the trustworthiness and competence of the charity

(vi) a catastrophic global event such as a pandemic which may result in a range of irreversible staffing deficits; loss of students through sickness or a long period of time whereby college would be closed and therapeutic education and families work adversely affected.

Strict measures are in place so that Trustees work together with Accountants, Auditors and external advisers to mitigate financial risks.

Strict measures are in place so that there are sufficient members of staff and directors who can ensure safeguarding and health and safety are maintained to the highest possible standards, to review and analyse data and to train, refresh and improve facilities and resources accordingly.

Time Horizon

The Board of Trustees of Breakthrough Transformation Trust have the intention that the charity should exist into perpetuity and that investments and funds should be handled wisely so that it can both develop and consolidate reliably. Therefore, it is intended to adopt a long-term investment time horizon.

Reviewing and Reporting

The Trustees will regularly consider whether there is a need to revise its Policy Statement and keep under review the arrangements under which finances are invested.

The charity has now grown to the point at which, subject to income remaining in the current regions, a yearly Audit is required.

Events after the end of the reporting period

Particulars of events after the reporting date are detailed in note 25 to the financial statements.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Breakthrough - Transformation Trust

Year ended 31 August 2021

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Breakthrough - Transformation Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Breakthrough - Transformation Trust (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2021

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

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

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Consolidation

The charity is not required to prepare consolidated accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, and has taken advantage of the option not to prepare consolidated financial statements contained in Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 on the basis that the charity and its subsidiary undertakings comprise a small group.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Incoming resources

All income is 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:

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:

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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 1% straight line Plant and machinery - 25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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.

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

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.

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.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

Breakthrough - Transformation Trust is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not

have a share capital.

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required, not exceeding £1, to the assets of the charitable company in the event of it being wound up whilst a member, or within one year after ceasing to be a member.

25. Post balance sheet events

There have been no events in the subsequent period that will require an adjustment to the balances reported in the statement of financial position of these financial statements dated 31 August 2021.

However, the continued impact of the global Coronavirus outbreak that was declared a world health emergency by the World Health Organisation in January 2020 should be noted. In March 2020, November 2020, and again in January 2021, the UK government implemented travel restrictions and other guidance in an attempt to reduce the spread of the virus, which has impacted, and continues to impact, the UK economy significantly. The financial impact of this developing situation in the subsequent period will be reflected in the financial statements of the corresponding subsequent period.

Breakthrough Transformation Trust have and will continue to evaluate the management actions to mitigate the impact on the charity. The charity has adopted initiatives to safeguard the health of its people and actions aimed at maintaining operational activity.

26. Related parties

Three of the trustees and a number of their family members were employed by the charity, some of which are at a senior management level. The trustees' remuneration, pension contributions and other benefits amounted to £156,162 (2020 - £148,822). The three trustees remunerated for their employment with the charity were Mrs D Dugdall, Mr A Dugdall and Mr P Reynolds.
