Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	1) The advancement of education in the severely deprived UK regions without distinction of age, sex, religion, political, or other opinion. By such charitable educational activities as the trustees think fit. 2) The prevention or relief of poverty by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self-sufficient who have not been able to gain this from mainstream education or have chosen a path of crime. 3) The preservation and protection of young people (ages 4-19) who have not been able to find a future in mainstream education or have chosen a path of crime.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	Innovation To Inspire Trust works closely in collaboration with a recognised motor vehicle training provider to help enhance and reach its objects as stated in its governance, this helps more young people aged 13 – 25 who come from deprived backgrounds or have learning difficulties that limit them from achieving a sustainable future, who are at risk of becoming homeless or turning to a life of crime and social isolation. These young people are in the category that is described most at risk and those who are not in

employment, training or education. Often their background is set by; the breakdown in family relationships, low esteem and inability to cope with social exclusion and often with little confidence. Based on the charity's objective there was a decision to acquire adequate premises and funding to open an Innovative Education Centre. Our three workshops have proven to be a wonderful practical space and now has the capacity to increase the number of vulnerable learners it can support and has been the backbone to support the expansion of the “Skills To Employment” Post 16 programme. Our focus for this year was to deliver on our promises with the progression of the Post 16 motor vehicle programme, incorporating add on qualifications such as Functional Skills, Personal Social Development (PSD) and Employsbility Skills that aid the transition into Employment.

We are working very closely with all parties and have consultations with the local Leicestershire County Council and also a Special Educational needs College to continue giving opportunities to learners with an EHCP. The implementation of the Post 16 motor vehicle mechanics course for learners with an (Educational Health Care Plan) incorporates a highly recognised qualification with the IMI (Institute of the Motor Industry). We are working well with the Colleges and with the Special Educational College, registering all the learners successfully and growing the Post 16 motor vehicle programme.

Our groups are split into four cohort groups, the ratio has worked very well and gives learners the bespoke programme they need to be able to achieve their goals and future ambitions. We created a completely bespoke timetable to be able to run the Post 16 motor vehicle provision for learners with an EHCP.

		We will continue to recruit learners from our Alternative programme for learners which have an EHCP. Our Post 16 motor vehicle provision will also continue to work with the Special Schools around Leicestershire. Meetings are held quarterly along with consultation being completed weekly with staff and open days for tours and discussions with Learner’s parents, Schools and the Local Authority. To help continue to provide an outstanding post 16 programme it was clear we needed to keep investing in the purchasing of new equipment and remove the old broken tools to help facilitate learning and the growing number of learners. The main costs were sundries and paying utilities within the workshops due to the amount of learners using the equipment each week. The equipment bought is lasting very well and these costs are absorbed by the provision rather than the charity. We are pleased to say that we have delivered on our promises and achieved learner success with qualifications being taken and achieved on our Post 16 Motor Vehicle programme. This is a monumental achievement when considering all the adversities that were encountered over the last year. This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and the support of many people who have truly shownthe most extraordinary acts of human kindness, forethought and compassion to help learners achieve their full aspirations.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Innovation To Inspire Trust is in its ninth financial year. The financial position of the charity is strong, this is largely due to the fact that the lease has been offered to the charity by EMH Homes at a peppercorn rate and any similar overheads such as utilities, business rates and council tax is partly covered by the training provision that supports the charity.
