CHAIR OF TRUSTEE’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
On behalf of all of the Trustees I would like to thank the many funders who have generously provided the means for us to develop and deliver our important work during the 2020 - 2021 financial year. A year that has had many challenges due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic.
We knew as we entered into the 2020-21 financial year it was looking like it would be a year of unprecedented uncertainty and it certainly has been. We are all grateful and proud that our staff and volunteers have worked over and above what was expected of them to ensure that our services have continued to be delivered to the high standard.
I can also report that we were able to successfully adapt and expand our work to offer much needed online wellbeing support to people of all ages that needed extra help to get them through the difficult days of 2020.
This year has also been a success for our small charity’s sustainability plans. We have once again been able to increase our income by 36.6% compared to last year. This increase in funding, much of it COVID-19 emergency funding has helped us to support many people at a time when it was really needed.
We will be working with all of our funders and sponsors to deliver their ambitions for our communities in 2021-22. Our unique training programmes will continue to support vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in our local communities to manage their emotional health and wellbeing.

TRANSFORM TRAINING LTD
REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Summary of achievements
Transform Training Ltd is a registered charity that delivers evidence-based programmes and training to support vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in our local communities alongside supporting parents/carers and training and equipping youth professional workers. Our expertise is in emotional education and all of our activity promotes emotional literacy, emotional resilience and emotional intelligence. We transform lives by helping people to see that they can take control of their reactions by using emotional literacy and by becoming emotionally resilient. We believe that every young person deserves to have the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. Our specialist emotional education trainers deliver our bespoke programmes in schools, in the community and to other organisations, companies and individuals.
Our two main programmes are Breakaway, which works with young people aged between 14 and 25 years who have a learning disability and Transforming Life Chances (TLC) which works with young people aged between 13 and 19 years who have challenging behaviour and are involved in or at risk of criminal or sexual exploitation, violence or drugs misuse. This programme was previously known as the YPDP but was renamed in 2020 to be more reflective of the work we carry out.
The past year has presented many challenges for us and we have had to adapt our usual work to meet the very special circumstances that the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has created for us. We have met these challenges by adapting our work, creating new opportunities and working collaboratively with a number of partner organisations.
We have been able to benefit from specific pandemic related funding and offer our support to a wider range of beneficiaries. We have done this through targeted online wellbeing support programmes that have focused on the emotional resilience needed to make good choices during the pandemic to keep everyone safe.
In addition to this throughout the time of the coronavirus lockdowns we provided food parcels, packed lunches and welfare packs to young people who were isolated. We helped young people to access the internet in order to remain connected with education and friendship groups and we provided support and advice to parents and carers who were finding it difficult to keep their teenage children safe during the lockdowns.
We have not been able to deliver our Schools Emotional Education programme (SEED) during the past year because the Schools have been closed or not accepting external providers on site because of Covid security. We have delivered some specific support to the children of key workers and children with special educational needs on school premises as part of our TLC programme Covid response.
During the last year 711 people have benefited from our work. We have provided targeted one-to-one support to 229 individual young people; of these 67 were young people with learning disabilities. We have delivered online employability training to 16 people over the age of 16 years. A total number of 403 people, including young people, parents and carers and professional frontline staff have taken part in our online wellbeing workshops. We have trained and have been assisted by 63 volunteers.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
OF TRANSFORM TRAINING LTD
COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
I report on the Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions 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 you as 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 examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
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.
