Success:
To measure the SuC￿$S of the adult services, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Health
Wellbeing Scale IWEMWEBI was used and it comprises 14 statementF that are scored from
1 to 5, with higher figures reflecting better self-reported wellbeing. In teims of findings, Table
1 below highlights the average pr& and poSt-well￿ng scores for all ccunselling clients and
shows that post-counselling, self-reported well-being increased by 11.6 (41.70A). For
perspective, it is universally accepted that a score increase of 3 points s considered
significant and therefore. counselling support has increased wellbeing by roughly 4x that
benchmark.

ort:
Child A aged 12, was already attending our wellbeing group on a weel-ly basis but presented
as disengaged and on occasion was loose tempered. This led to an eriquiry with mum over
the phone and an eventual re-assessment wtth the intention of 8-weeks of 1..1 support. It
was highlighted that child A would benefit from support around self-coiifidence. ability to
express themselves. social interactions, and managing emotions. Angar and anxiety in
particular was something child A struggled with, often getting into verbal altercations or
experienGing panic attacks when facing ￿rtain social situations.
To find solutions to this, work wth child A ￿ntered around self-help techniques to èstablish
which ones could feel relevant and be effective for child A. From this viork Child A has added
the following techniques to their toolkit.. Using wrrting to express emotions, listening to music,

of COn￿rn) on our Link Together 1..1 outcome questionnaire post SUPPi)rt going from a score
of 2 out of 5 to 4 out of 5 {refer to graph 1 below).
Overall, child A now displays much more confidently in the wellbeing gioup, being chattier

Financial Review
Financial position at 31 March 2025
Our income for this financial year is £361,338, an increase of £32,13019.8%) from th8
previous financial year (2023124: £329,208). This reflects an increase cf £25,355 in
unrestricted income, and an increase in income of £6.775 on restricted furKled projects.
Expenditure for project and service delivery was £360,(K)8, an inuease of £53,244 {17.40h}
compared to the previous financial year {2023124.' £306.764} This reflects a £28,660
increase in unrestricted fund expenditures and a £24,584 increase in r6&stricted fund
experKlilures on project and Servi￿ dèlivery.
As of 31 March 2025, our statement of financial activit￿$ shi)ws a surplus of £6.661 on
unrestricted funds and a deficil of £5.331 on restricted funds, resulting n an overall surplus
of £1,330 (2023124. overall surplus of £22,444).
Total reserves at 31 March 2025 amounted to £159,826 (2023124.. £153,496). Of these.
£90,406 were restricted funds to ￿ spent in 202&26 This leaves a balan￿ of £69.421 in
the fomi of unrestricted funds, £17,415 of vthich is hekl in fixed assets and £52,006 held in
cash reserves.
Reserves Pollcy
The Trustees have set a target for free reserves equivalent to three months. operating costs
plus any additional known liabilibes and potential cessation costs. As of 31 March 2025, the
charity held £52,006 in unrestricied cash reserves, 42.20A short of the I"eserves target of
£90,000. To bridge this gap, Tnjstees and Senior Management continLie to implement Full-
Cost Recovery IFCR) across all projects. ensuring all indirect staffing <ind overheads are
appropriately covered by project funds, rather than relying on free reseNes.
This strategy aligns wth the charity's Reserves Policy, which is regulaily reviewed to
address polential liabilities and comply with Charity Commission guidelines. Unrestricted
fundraising and the implementation of FCR are ex￿cted to strengther the organisation's
financial stability. helping to meet fLrture operational needs and achieve the reserve target.
Funds materially in deficit
As of 31 March 2025, there were two restricted funds in deficit. These were the 'North
Yorkshire Coast Better Outcomes Partnership - Tuming Tides Seryice with a deficit of -£583
and 'Woodsmith Foundation - Catalyst Fund, with a deficit of -£3,237. There were no other
funds (restricted or unrestricted) which Y￿re materially in deficit.
Going concern position
At the time of approving the financial statements. the Trustees have a reasonable
expectation that the thartty has adequate reSoUr￿S (both restricted aiid unrestricted) to
continue in operational existen￿ for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue lo
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

examine the accounts under section 145 ofthe 2011 Act:
follow the procedures laid down in the general [AreC￿n$ gNen by the Comrnission under section
145{5llbl of the 2011 Act- and
state ¥thelher particular matters have come lo my attention.
Basls of independent examinerfs report
My examination was Carr￿ in aCCOTdance with the general Direclions given by-he Charity ComnNssion. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the d)arity and a comparison of the acco(Jnts
piesented wth those records. It also indudes consideration of any unusual items tsi disdosures in the accounts.
and seeking explanations from you as ttustees conceming any such mattets. The p ocedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be ￿qUired in an audrt and consequently no opin on Is given as to whether the
accounts present a'true and fair vievK and the re￿>rt is fimrted to those matter5 set out in the statement below.
Independ¢nt examlnerfs statement
In connection v*th my examination. no matter has come to my attention".
which gives me reasonable (xuse to believe that. in any materi81 respeci, the requirements..
to keep accotjnting record$ in accxsrdance wth Sed1￿ of the 2011 Ad.. and
to prepare awunts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements ol the 2011 Act
have not been met.. or
to which, In my opinion, attent¥)n should be dravm in orderto enable a proper Jnderstanding ofthe accounts
to be feached.
