The Driver Youth Trust

Trustees’ Report

For the Year Ended 31 August 2022

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015) and update Bulletin 2 (effective 1 January 2019).

Structure, Governance and management

The Driver Youth Trust is a company limited by guarantee (company number: 09848958) and is registered as a charity (charity number: 1167893). The company was incorporated on 29th October 2015 and obtained charitable status on 28th June 2016. The original charity was constituted under a trust deed dated 17 July 2007. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29th October 2015. Having received the Charity Commission’s consent dated 24 February 2022 and 24 March 2022 as required under section 198 Charities Act 2011, a special resolution was duly passed by way of written resolution pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part 13 of the Companies Act 2006 adopting new articles of association as attached thereto, of the Company in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the existing articles of association.

The trust is controlled by the trustees. At the regular trustees’ meetings (held at least three times per year), the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management and performance.

Our mission

Driver Youth Trust's mission is to help young people who struggle to read and write.

We do this by:

Our vision

We want to be recognised for our distinctive impact in education as the leading organisation that enables teachers to better meet the needs of young people with literacy difficulties. To achieve this, DYT must be financially sustainable in order to secure our longevity and grow our reputation and influence to become the leading organisation for literacy difficulties.

Achievements and activities for the furtherance of the Trust’s aims

Driver Youth Trust’s vision is based on our experience of working with schools and knowledge that there is a group of learners in our schools who are consistently underperforming in literacy because of underlying difficulties that are not responsive to standard educational approaches. Overwhelmingly, these children are in mainstream schools.

There is consensus that teachers, equipped with the right knowledge and skills, are our greatest asset in overcoming literacy difficulties. Substantial evidence points to the quality of teaching as a critical determinant of outcomes for 'at risk' learners.

Programmes

Our work directly in schools was halted by covid related restrictions in 2019/20. Whilst restrictions eased over time, there was continued disruption in schools as a result of teachers having to cope with extraordinary

circumstances, further exacerbated by financial pressures. The Trust took the view that a blended learning offer would enhance the experience and convenience to our course participants whilst also ensuring that distance learning can help mitigate risks associated with school disruption.

DYT Learning Hub.

The Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS) referred to as the DYT Learning Hub (the Hub) went live at the beginning of the Autumn term, September 2021. It was designed to enable participants to purchase via the DYT website and access online professional development courses designed to improve practice for supporting learners with literacy difficulties.

The following 15 online courses were developed:

Driving Inclusion; The Strategic SENCo. A six-module course. This included 6 live sessions. The course included content written by external consultants in SEND and inclusion roles in Astrea and Bohunt MATs and live sessions hosted by four external experts, one DYT consultant and the CEO. The final live session was a roundtable with 8 external seats sold at £20 each. [There were 5 participants enrolled on the course.] Participants have logged into the course over 100 times and there has been a total of 56 hours of learning conducted.

Driving Inclusion; Creating Champions in Literacy. A six-module course. Three live sessions initially with an additional session added. [15 participants enrolled on the course.] Participants have logged into the course 192 times and there has been a total of 156 hours of learning conducted.

Quick Courses. Seven Quick Courses launched after Autumn half term. 45-60 minutes duration, selfpaced, self-directed learning for participants.

Action Courses . 4-5 hours duration

Webinars. A total of 9 webinars took place between September-December 2021.

Partnerships

In addition we have continued to work in partnership with teaching training organisations and school trusts on a variety of projects, including the Bohunt Educational Trust, City of London Academy Islington and the Suffolk TA network.

Quality Assurance and Literacy Difficulty Frameworks. To underpin the ecosystem and online offer work was undertaken on the creation of a Literacy Difficult Framework (an internal document that makes clear DYT’s position on literacy difficulties and its approach) and a Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) which has been developed with support from the Sheffield Institute of Education (SIOE) and draws on evidence and

research into QA of professional development for the Chartered College of Teachers.

Campaigning

The Trust continued to press the government and those decision makers across the sector to recognise the importance of addressing the needs of learners’ with literacy difficulties.

This has included a number of stakeholder engagements, and written responses to government on literacy, special educational needs and school accountability, particularly in light of ongoing reviews and consultations in these areas. In addition, the Trust’s team have spoken at a number of educational conferences and events, produced articles and opinion pieces in the sector press and continued to expand its digital communications.

Sponsoring projects and initiatives, providing scholarships

In line with its new strategy the Trust has not made any further grant giving in this operating year.

Restructure 31[st] March 2022

The Driver Youth Trust is reliant on the income and gains generated from an endowment. Over the past four years the DYTs expenditure has exceeded the income generated by the endowment, and revenue from selling the courses on the Hub. The Trustees had agreed to this expenditure for a period of time, to facilitate the investment in teacher training, first in schools and then on-line, but were clear that this was not sustainable in the long term.

Over the past three years, the Covid pandemic has had a huge impact on our work and opportunity for income. It also greatly reduced the value of the endowment. Whilst the decision to establish on-line training was made in good faith, to extend reach, nationally and internationally, to meet the new challenges and opportunities offered by Covid – not being able to get into schools and the rise in the use of online delivery - and ultimately to develop income that would make this work sustainable, Covid and the ‘new normal’ in schools has affected this endeavour. Costs of developing the courses increased dramatically and the expected demand from schools and teachers was well below our estimations.

The Trustees have a duty of care to preserve the funds and mission of the Trust, to support those young people who struggle with literacy difficulties and to ensure the sustainability of the Charity going forward. In light of this and the above, and with the support of an external consultant, they undertook a strategic review of the charity, its services, and market opportunities. During this review they considered all options for moving forward, including: closure of the Charity, becoming a grant-giving body once more, allying with another charity and scaling down the operation. Following this review, they took the difficult decision to cease developing and marketing our online training offer in order to significantly reduce costs, and to close down the office and reduce staff numbers, a process which was completed by the end of the summer term.

The Driver Youth Trust

Trustees’ Report

For the Year Ended 31 August 2022

The Trustees do not want to close down the charity and are keen for Driver Youth Trust to continue to support children with literacy difficulties. They recognize that they have a respected reputation, committed consultant teachers, useful resources and most of all, a good set of courses that can be used to support teachers at this difficult time, making a difference to the children we represent.

They therefore decided to scale back the charity’s cost structure, to protect the endowment, and to focus on making the completed courses available within the education sector, as a free resource, possibly distributing them through other charities. This will also allow the Trustees time to reflect and decide the best way forward in the long term. This approach ensures that the Charity will be able to continue to deliver its charitable aims over the short, medium and longer term, whilst at the same time protecting the endowment to ensure the sustainability of the Charity.

Looking Forward

The Trustees are pursuing an exciting proposal with Kingston University’s Education Department that will see DYT develop resources and courses used not only to train teachers, but across the University, ensuring that lecturers know how to support existing students who struggle with literacy. The ability to leverage this training across other teacher-training hubs is considerable. A longitudinal study, evidencing impact, will also be undertaken.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in setting the grant making policy.

The charity’s aims are intended to benefit the public generally and people in poverty are not excluded from the opportunity to benefit.

Investment Policy

As in the previous year the trustees have delegated authority to James Hambro to manage investments for the Charity in accordance with the investment policy laid down by the trustees. The performance of the portfolio is monitored on a regular basis, including quarterly reports to the trustees. The trustees have continued their investment policy of holding funds in a mix of fixed interest security and equities.

Financial Review

Income for the year amounted to £50,097 (2021: £37,394) and comprised income arising from the charity's investments and fees for the Drive for Literacy programme. Charitable expenditure in the year totalled £588,911 (2021: £562,852).

Given the availability of the expendable endowment fund, the Trustees do not consider that the charity needs to maintain any significant free reserves although they recognise that such reserves will arise from time to time. As at 31 August 2022 free reserves were £94,933 (2021: £156,925).

The Driver Youth Trust Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2022

1 Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

b) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

d) Donations of gifts, services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

f) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

11

The Driver Youth Trust Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued)

g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

All expenditure is inclusive of VAT.

h) Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance and governance costs which support the Trust's charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.

i) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

˜ Plant and Machinery 33% straight line basis

j) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

l) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

m) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
