The Matthew Hackney Foundation

for the Year Ended 30 November 2022

Report of the Trustees

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

(1) The relief of sickness and the preservation of health among children and young people living in Surrey, suffering from asthma, arthritis and allergies by the provision of funds to organisations that support such children and young people, the provision of counselling to such children and young people and raising awareness of allergies and asthma.

(2) To advance in life and help children and young people living in Surrey through:

(a) The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare designed to improve their conditions of life.

(b) Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible adults.

Significant activities

The Matthew Hackney Foundation is a charity that provides funded and part funded, confidential support and counselling for children and young people in need of support for their mental wellbeing, within their school environment or in a safe private space outside of school hours. We have helped significantly more children and young people this year.

The counselling is delivered by part & fully qualified counsellors, contracted counsellors, having previously been fully checked and vetted. Some counsellors are volunteers and some are paid at a pre agreed rate, depending on funding and need.

We have worked with 10 volunteer counsellors who deliver sessions on our behalf. In return we offer fully funded supervision and support as well as some training. The board agreed to part fund two volunteer counsellors with their level 5 training, providing they continue volunteering for the charity for a further 18 months.

Our volunteer counsellors have delivered 630 counselling sessions to approximately 126 children and young people within 25 local schools.

We also have worked with 10 paid counsellors who have delivered 1273 counselling sessions to approximately 463 children and young people.

Budgets and planning have begun to deliver workshops to parents/carers to help them support their children and young people with their mental health and regular fund raising activities have increased.

Public benefit

The trustees have worked to ensure that the activities of The Matthew Hackney Foundation have been for the benefit of the public.

We believe that helping children and young people with their mental well-being and resilience will enable them to have the best possible chances to be the strong, resilient, independent and thriving adults that they and our society deserves.. The counselling has had an impact on the lives service users in a variety of ways; many of the children and young people who would not normally have access to the help they need, we have helped give them the tools they need to help them with their needs both now and in the future; Their learning has been positively affected as well as their mental wellbeing; they have improved relationships with their peers and important people within their lives and they have learned the positive impact of counselling and help reduce the stigma around mental illness in the future.

Report of the Trustees

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Volunteers

The Matthew Hackney Foundation has 10 registered trustees and 10 volunteers who deliver counselling to children & young people in schools. The charity also has 10 volunteers who help out at fundraising events. Penny Hackney, the founder, carries out many of the day to day administration and management duties with pre agreed payment of £20 per hour on a contracted basis. This has been approved by the trustees and the charity commission. Our lead Counsellor, Lisa Jones, also carries out some voluntary administration per month.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Our charitable activities are wholly carried out to help support the mental wellbeing of children and young people locally in Surrey as described previously. These are carried out in two separate areas of Surrey, surrounding Byfleet and Banstead, within a maximum of 25 schools covered by twelve counsellors.

Internal and external factors

The internal factors that have an impact on the Matthew Hackney Foundation are firstly the trustees and volunteers that ensure the charity runs effectively and grows if possible. All of them also work elsewhere so their time is limited although they have a wide variety of skills and attributes that will ensure the charity thrives. They also have a very strong commitment to the charity and it's overall aims and vision. Our charity is reasonably well known in the local vicinity (Byfleet) and as such fundraising activities are well supported, as well as sponsored fundraising events.

The external factors affecting The Matthew Hackney Foundation are similar to that of many third sector organisations. The global pandemic effected our fundraising events, however, more importantly had a major impact on everyone's mental health, especially children and young people.

The growing awareness of the importance of supporting mental wellbeing, particularly by celebrity ambassadors, could be beneficial for local support for the Matthew Hackney Foundation, but could also work negatively with support/donations given to larger, more well known charities. The charity has no direct competitors locally, nor are there any other charities locally that offer a similar service, however, lessons can be learned from similar charities who operate further afield.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

All funds so far have been raised through donations and fund-raising activities. The main fundraising activity is our annual winter ball held in early November which raises a huge proportion of our working capital. This was able to go ahead in November 2021 with reduced numbers, the golf day went well and we had some great donations through our online line donation platform.

The Matthew Hackney Foundation also secured grants from the Byfleet United charity(For supporting the population of the ancient parish of Byfleet).

Reserves policy

The Matthew Hackney Foundation aims for reserves of approximately 6 months running costs, estimated to be in the region of £6000.00 to ensure any unforeseen circumstances can be met.

FUTURE PLANS

The Matthew Hackney foundation aims to continue supporting children and young people within the current localities. The charity can deliver this aim using funds carried forward and will continue and increase it's fundraising activities and continue to apply for funding from any relevant source in order to support more children and young people.

The Matthew Hackney Foundation plans to increase fundraising in order to continue early intervention and extend the service to provide support to parents/carers for their children and young people's mental wellbeing. We plan to deliver support within workshops that will be learner driven, encouraging families and communities to help each other with their well being, reducing the stigma around mental illness and giving the whole family support.

We plan to increase the team of volunteer counsellors to support more children and young people, more often within their schools.

The Matthew Hackney foundation Plans to engage specialist Trustee/s that can help us with charity law and finance and gain advice from specialists regarding the charities governing document and status.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Matthew Hackney Foundation generally has recruited Trustees organically, as with our Volunteers, some of which will become trustees when their training and development is completed. The charity also plans to advertise and recruit some further trustees to support its planned growth.

Organisational structure

As a small charity, we have a linear structure with Penny Hackney leading the trustees and volunteers.

Related parties

The Matthew Hackney Foundation has an agreement with each school and counsellor detailing what the charity offers and what is expected of the end user.
