## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Description of the charity's trusts**
**Type of governing documents:** Constitution adopted 01/10/14.
**Trustee selection method:** Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting held in April.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objects of the organisation are to act as a resource for young women aged up to 25 living in Tyne and Wear by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities, in particular but not exclusively to address issues concerned with alcohol and substance misuse and sexual health as a means of:
(a) advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;
(b) advancing education;
(c) providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.
## **Achievement and Performance**
During the course of this financial year Bright Futures have continued to develop and deliver a range of programmes with a wide range of outcomes including our bespoke prevention and education programmes, social action and community projects, young mums and mums to be groups and intensive support programme, volunteering projects and detached youth work. We have continued to recruit and support volunteers to work with us in a variety of ways including face to face work with young women, the planning of positive social activities and administration tasks. Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and many have approached the organisation to volunteer as they have often themselves benefited from the work of Bright Futures and would like to give something back.
All young people are encouraged to play an integral part in the planning and development of Bright Futures activities. We continue to consult with children, young people, parents/carers, staff and board members regularly through group forums and meetings, feedback and surveys. This consultation has helped to shape the new ways we have delivered our services and will continue to influence our delivery moving forward.
Bright Futures continue to work strategically and use our learning and experiences to influence policy and practice to tackle the disadvantages, injustices and inequalities facing young women, providing them with a platform to use their voices to drive long term change. Over the last 13 years Bright Futures have forged significant relationships with key strategic partners including local and national government, social care services, local authorities, police, researchers and alliances to share our own findings and good practice to create a long-term fairer future for young women effected by a range of issues and inequalities. We have continued to develop and build on these relationships over the last year, particularly to raise awareness of the significant impact the ongoing cost of living crisis is having on the young women and their families that we support.
Please see a brief summary of the projects we have delivered below.
## **Sexual Assault and Exploitation**
Bright Futures have continued to deliver a range of interventions aimed at preventing and addressing child sexual exploitation across Tyne and Wear. We have continued to
deliver education sessions, school assemblies, street based outreach work, parents and carers support and one to one support to young women.
We continue to see an increase in the numbers of referrals that we receive for a range of support including referrals for young women who have been affected by issues relating to child sexual exploitation. We know that our role within the community continues to play a key role in supporting young women at the earliest opportunity and ensuring action is taken to prevent, protect and safeguard.
## **Social Action Programmes**
We have continued to work alongside groups of young women in developing and delivering a wide range of social action projects which tackle and raise awareness of issues which are important to them within their communities and as young women.
These projects reflect all of the #iwill 6 principles which define great social action:
Reflective- We recognise the valuable contribution that young people do and can make to the communities in which they live and actively involve young women in the planning, delivery and evaluation of this project in order to identify success and also learn and improve. Regular consultation takes place ensuring we continue to meet the needs of the young women involved and also to ensure that young people are aware of the wider social impact of their activities.
Challenging - These projects develop the ambitions of young women involved. We engage young women in accessible and enjoyable weekly activities within their communities and utilise their engagement in these activities to inspire them to become further involved in other social action projects.
Youth-Led – All social action projects project are developed by our young women and actively encourage more young women to continue to be involved in the planning, delivery and monitoring ensuring it addresses and tackles issues that are important to them.
Progressive - The young women engaged are supported to access our other programmes which meet their needs including our Employment Project, Young Mums Groups as well as accessing other volunteering opportunities.
Embedded - We continue to ensure that social action becomes embedded into the lives of those we engage with by providing weekly activities ensuring attendance becomes a habit and social action is integrated into their consciousness now and in the future.
Our social action programmes have continued to go from strength to strength throughout this year with young people developing large numbers of social action projects within their communities. Examples include the continuation of our Girls Standing Up programme empowering young women to stand up and raise awareness across their communities in tackling issues which they have identified impact on their lives including period dignity, safety in public places and issues relating to Violence Against Women and Girls.
## **Health and Wellbeing**
Bright Futures have continued to deliver a range of services aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of young women, we know that South Tyneside continues to be within the worst 10% of local authority areas in the Index of Multiple Deprivation Health and Disability which measures the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life through poor physical or mental health. Our services continue to encourage young women to take more care of their mental, emotional and physical health including weekly fitness sessions, healthy cooking classes and our issue based work around a range of health issues including self-care, period poverty, sexual health and substance misuse. This year we launched our new mental health support programme ‘She Leads’ supporting young women aged 16-25.
## **Mini Ambassadors**
The Mini Ambassador Programme has continued to be delivered to children up to the age of 11 in the Cleadon Park area of South Tyneside. Over the last year the project has continued to engage girls in a range of projects giving them better physical and emotional health, new skills and opportunities to have fun.
We have continued to deliver a range of intergenerational, environmental, health and community projects including multi-cultural activities, seasonal projects and activities, poetry and arts projects, cooking, science, relaxation and wellbeing techniques.
We have continued to provide a wide range of educational opportunities for children around a range of life skills impacting upon their safety, health and wellbeing including hygiene, obesity, bullying, online and e-safety, healthy relationships, antisocial behaviour and crime.
We have continued to provide opportunities for older young women to become Peer Leaders. They have continued to be instrumental in supporting the development and delivery of activities, engaging with younger children and being positive role models. Increasing their own self-esteem and confidence and gaining practical skills and experience to move forward in further education, training and employment.
This project has continued to have an impact on community cohesion helping to create safer and stronger communities working together to overcome local problems and breaking down barriers between generations .
## **Young Mums and Mums to Be Groups**
Bright Futures have continued to develop and deliver our Young Mum and Mums to Be Groups which have been established for the last 12 years across two highly deprived areas of South Tyneside. Groups continue to be delivered in local Children’s Centres and other community-based venues and are open to all young women aged 14-25 and their children. The groups engage both mums and their children who suffer multiple disadvantages including poverty and deprivation, isolation, poor health and wellbeing which all impact upon their ability to meet their own and their children’s
day to day needs and continue to provide practical support to young mums around housing, benefits, budgeting, employment, domestic abuse and mental health as well as providing support specific to the needs of their children including healthy cooking, first aid and parenting skills.
## **Employment, Education and Training Support Project**
Bright Futures have continued to develop its Employment, Education and Training Support Project and in the last year we have continued to develop and deliver our intensive employment support programme. Through our experience of delivering employment support to young women we know that there are root causes to many young women’s unemployment which include low self-esteem, mental health issues, substance misuse, homelessness, exploitation, trafficking, criminal records, previous low educational attainment and being young mums to address this we continue to develop and deliver programmes which allows us to be able to provide a more intensive support to address these issues.
## **Financial Review**
Our main source of income this year has been grant funds which totalled £471,410, of which, £467,160 was restricted. Spending on charitable activities and generating funds was 99% of total expenditure for 2025, this highlights our commitment to utilising the income to where it is most beneficial to our aims and objectives.
At the year end Bright Futures had £335,386 cash and cash equivalents with a split of £115,000 unrestricted and £220,386 restricted. The amounts held will allow Bright Futures to continue providing their vital services for several months if all funding comes to a standstill.
The coming year will see Bright Futures build on the work that we have already successfully delivered in improving young women's health and wellbeing, providing them with a brighter future. The aim of this work is to increase the reach of Bright Futures.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** Charity Name **members of** Bright Futures NE **On accounts for the** 31[st] March 2025 **Charity no** 1157578 **year ended (if any) Set out on pages** Document CC17a pages 1 and 2 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions **examiner’s statement** given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
- **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- **examiner's statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
