## **Achievements and Performance** 

This year we have begun to see the devastating aftermath the pandemic and restrictions have had on families and young people across our region, but there has also been some hope in the continued community spirit we have seen. 

It has been an incredibly tough year for our colleagues in partner schools, with noticeable changes in behaviour across all key stages, as ‘normal service’ has been expected to resume, with judgements made against our young people and schools based on data, with the disruption only widening the gaps on attainment and progress. 

Despite the pressure, there have been many positives, one of those being the return of the arts and live theatre, including our very own WYMT. 

The introduction of the Senior Mental Health Lead role in schools by the DfE has seen a renewed interest in interventions and training to ensure all schools are better supporting their staff, children and families. 

We have also been able to see the impact from the Fore grant received last year, in terms of our own training and development as an organisation. As ever the Trustees are extremely grateful for the continued support, encouragement and recognition we receive. 

Recognising the success of our ongoing relationship with Donnington Wood Juniors, we have been successful in winning a bid to work with 16 of the Primary schools in the North Cluster of Telford with a focus on school improvement and reducing the need for exclusions and alternative provision. This contract will run for one year and work began after Easter with the first wave of schools. 

Earlier in the year we helped our longest standing Partner school, Milking Bank Primary, achieve the Wellbeing Award for Schools, based on the evidence compiled of their work to promote positive mental health over recent years. We could not be more proud of the whole team there! 

Whilst concentrating on using the Fore Grant to impact our organisational structure, we have been fortunate to receive some smaller grants to support specific projects, from Wolverhampton Council and the Arnold Clark Community Fund. 

## **Work In Schools** 

This year we have gained some new partner schools in Dudley and Sandwell, as well as returning to delivering ad hoc workshops and focus days, including increasing our work with secondary schools. We look forward to building on these relationships in the coming year. 

We have worked closely to support parents with behaviours and concerns seen at home, being involved in Early Help support and running joint parent and child sessions in some schools. 

It has been great to see a shift in our long term partner schools to upskilling staff and refining their in schools provisions to ensure that positive mental health and well-being is central to their ethos, proven by Milking Bank being awarded the Wellbeing for Schools Award and our work with Donnington Wood to lead on the Telford Cluster project.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 6 April 2022 (Continued)** 

This year, thanks in part to the grant received from The Fore we have been able to support Rachel, one of our long serving volunteers in achieving her Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification, now working in schools as specialist SEMH support. She has also completed her Arts Award Advisor training and trialled accrediting our interventions with this qualification to add even more value to the work and combining our passion for well-being and the arts. Congratulations to her on all her hard work! 

## **Training** 

The return to face to face training has been much welcomed, especially with the nature of the courses we deliver. Whilst it has not been without difficulties; such as ongoing battles with staff absence and also a real drive for schools to return to life pre pandemic, impacting on the time people have been released for CPD, this year has seen us extend our training offer with the DfE approved training for Senior Mental Health Leads, which we lead our first cohort of Primary Leads through successfully over the course of this year. Congratulations to them for their hard work and commitment in this challenging role! 

We have extended our reach with our MHFA England training in Mental Health First Aid skills, delivering to cohorts of students studying at Post-16 and have established a working relationship with Walsall Studio School’s Health and Social Care department. Similarly we have delivered more training to Parent’s in Telford, as part of the cluster project. 

This year we have all delivered more of our in house courses for staff inset in our partner schools and beyond. Our most popular training has been about supporting emotional development needs in the classroom, supported by live in class coaching. Other popular training has been for lunch time staff on how to actively engage pupils to reduce their behaviour incidents. 

One of the highlights was delivering our Introduction to DBT Skills training to over 500 staff from the Manor Multi Academy Trust, at their annual conference, which this year focused on supporting teachers own mental health and wellbeing. 

## **The Arts** 

It has been great to finally see the return of the arts in schools and live theatre professionally and at a community level. This year our wonderful Youth Theatre, WYMT, staged two productions and welcomed a cohort of Junior members, extending our reach to primary age children across Wolverhampton for our amateur premiere of Matilda the musical. 

Our cast of over forty 8-18 year olds met for two weeks over August, as restrictions around social distancing were lifted. They rehearsed intensively for two weeks, with half the cast missing part of the second week due to an outbreak of COVID. However, we utilized digital technology to ensure the cast could still rehearse, delayed our opening night slightly and added in a matinee performance. We had a sold out run, so despite our initial reservations about being one of the first companies to return, it was obvious audiences were more than ready to escape reality and join us for this fabulous story.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 6 April 2022 (Continued)** 

Thanks to funding from the council Youth Opportunities fund, we were able to produce and perform a Halloween themed showcase in October half term. This ensured we could keep the interest of new members, as well as find time to nurture their talents further. This fun performance saw an array of Spook-tacular Halloween favourites, mixed with classic musical and pop favourites. There was singing, dancing and even some of our talented cast showing us their musicianship with live recitals and accompaniment. 

This year also saw us encouraging schools to ensure the arts made a welcomed return, accrediting some of our intervention programmes with the introductory Arts Award at Explore and Discover Levels! 

## **Financial Review** 

The Charity receives donations which are then utilised in achieving the objects of the Charity. 

During the year ended 6 April 2022 the Charity received donations and income amounting to £45,964 (2021 - £50,129), £55,625 (2021 - £39,310) was spent in pursuit of the Charity’s objectives. At 6 April 2022 £4,242 (2021 - £13,903) was held in Unrestricted Funds and £2,313 (2021 - £2,313) held in Restricted Funds. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees consider that the funds within the Charity should be at a level to cover operational costs for at least 5 months. 

The reserves are needed to bridge the funding gap between spending on the Charity’s overheads and the receipt of new funds. 

The reserves include cash at bank.   The Trustees monitor the cash levels on a regular basis.

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to Charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that year.  In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to:- 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included on the Charity’s website.
