Trustees report
The trustees submit the annual report and the audited financial statements of Soulscape for the year ended 31 August 2023. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity Constitution and 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).
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the Charity are to empower young people to flourish and live full and positive lives, developing resilience towards the pressures that they face, discovering new ways to think and express themselves, so they are transformed and equipped to transform their world; and encourage and support the teaching and learning of Christian faith, values and spirituality in schools.
Soulscape is a charity committed to supporting young people’s physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. We work with schools, the young people themselves, and other stakeholders in a partnership of mutual respect, input and benefit. Rooted in and inspired by Christian values but serving those of all faiths and none, Soulscape’s approach is rooted in a conviction about the dignity and value of every young person, and that each young person should be the object of unconditional love and acceptance.
Soulscape brings real-life stories, and encourages young people to share their own, giving them space to hear and think about different opinions and perspectives. We use the creative arts to help young people express their true thoughts and feelings on the topics that most concern them. Through this active learning and empowerment, we aim to see young people transformed, resilient against the pressures around them, developing their own identities and living out their potential.

Purpose and aims
The charity works in partnership with schools to give young people the space they need to explore the issues that they have identified as affecting them.
The Pressure
Being a teenager has always been tough. But for today’s young people, peer pressure happens around the clock, bullying invades their own homes, and exam pressures at school have ratcheted up. With pressure to keep up appearances online, be available 24/7, perfect (and share) their bodies, get the best grades, think and say the ‘right’ thing, and support their families too, teenagers live with a huge amount of stress.
The Consequences
The Charity is seeing a mental health epidemic in our young people. The number of teenagers with mental health problems has doubled in the last 20 years. In 2018, more than a fifth of 14-year-old girls said they had self-harmed. And for those who do not become ill, there is little time and space at school or home to switch off, breathe, reflect, and form their own opinions and ideas – something that is a crucial part of adolescence.
Our aim is to create space
Young people don’t need yet another voice telling them what to think and do. Rather than pile more pressure onto them (“do these ten things to feel better”), the Charity believes in creating space away from it all. Space to reflect, to ask big questions, to explore what’s going on inside, and to creatively express their own ideas.
The Charity does this by:
-
Listening to young people’s ideas and requests about what they want to discuss, whether that be self-harm, pornography, or how to make good decisions.
-
Running workshops on these topics in their schools, where they can explore, debate, reflect and express themselves through the creative arts.
-
Helping schools in Berkshire to run an effective PSHE and RE curriculum.

Achievements and performance
During this past year we have experienced geo-political instability, the shocking evidence of the climate crisis and witnessed major international conflict. This has impacted everyone, particularly as we struggle with the lasting impacts of the pandemic and the worsening cost-of-living crisis.
It is therefore of no surprise that the mental health of young people has been massively impacted by all of this. It has becoming increasingly difficult for them to manage their relationships, employment and education since they are up against obstacles that make life feel uncertain and challenging.
Consequently, an unprecedented number of young people are being referred to mental health services, and many are not receiving the help they need. The pressure is even greater for those young people with a pre-existing mental health problem or racialized and marginalized groups.
The NHS has reported that:
-
Last year's saw an increasing demand for mental health support, with recordhigh numbers of children and young people struggling with their mental health.
-
Almost 4 million 7-24 year olds in England have a probable or possible mental health disorder.
-
New emergency referrals to crisis care teams for 0-18 year olds were higher in March 2023 than any other point since records began, at 1,102.
-
Overall, new emergency referrals to crisis care teams for children aged 18 and under were up 10% from the year before, to 9,640.
-
There were 494,415 open referrals to children and young people's mental health services in December 2022 - the highest since records began.
We have seen the impact of this on young people’s mental health as we work with them in Berkshire schools. With the demand on mental health services in Berkshire reaching crisis point (Berkshire Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service having a waiting time of more than two years) it has never been more important for Soulscape to provide Tier 1 early intervention and prevention services for young people and to promote their wellbeing.

Early intervention is so very important for young people but with dwindling school budgets and universal service cuts, coupled with the demand to show positive outcomes in pupil attainment, schools feel overwhelmed by the growing mental health needs of their students and a gap has arisen – a gap that is met by Soulscape.
Soulscape staff and volunteers are ideally place and well equipped to identify and provide effective early support for young people who are at risk of poor outcomes, and to either provide the support they need or signpost to other services.
During this year we have had the privilege of working with 4,700 young people in 30 schools delivering 10 projects, REAL, Revive, Object, Mind The Gap, More inside Out, Care, Pause, Mentoring, The Lounge and Reading Festival.
==> picture [164 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
REAL stands for Relationships, Esteem, Aspirations, and Lifestyle. These workshops allow space for students to reflect and think through for themselves the areas of relationships, self-esteem, sex education to consider life choices. Through story discussion and reflection, they explore skills for building strong and positive relationships

REvive is a programme that supports the RE Curriculum, creating space for students to explore new ideas for themselves. Soulscape aims to challenge, surprise, inform & empower students to think independently, running drop down days, for whole year groups, where Christians share their stories and what motivates them, putting their faith into action, looking at the issues of poverty, prison ministry, persecution, Christian pilgrimage, evangelism, the world church, etc… Soulscape also organises walking tours, where young people can visit local churches to hear about their beliefs, history and community engagement.
MIND THE GAP (MTG) is a transition project helping year 6 to make a happy journey to secondary school. Teams go into Primary Schools and meet with Year 6 pupils. They talk about how to make friends, run team building activities and talk to the students about what to expect when starting Secondary School. Staff run parent's evenings as part of MTG with the aim of helping parents of Year 6 pupils appreciate the challenges and opportunities faced by starting Secondary School
Object explores the issues around pornography through theatre and peer led discussion. The thought-provoking theatre presentation tours secondary school to examine the issues raised by the increasing and instant availability of pornographic images on the internet and the damaging effects this may have in young people's lives and relationships.

CARE stands for Creation, Awareness, Recycling and Educating. It is a creative project addressing the anxiety and passion that young people have about climate change and the environment and putting them to good use. In collaboration with a local artist, the Charity uses creative art to help young people express their worries and passions and to make a difference by educating the people around them.
FUSE is all about being part of a community. It’s a project for Year 5 and up, where we explore what it means to be kind to and care for ourselves and others within a community. Feeling part of a good community is important for young people for many reasons. We think it’s important that young people raised in an individualistic culture and encouraged to focus on their own personal goals and dreams also have space to consider what it means to exist in a community – something bigger than just themselves. We’d like to see our young people grow up understanding the balance between
More Inside Out was created to support young people, focusing on their wellbeing and enabling them to express themselves through art without necessarily having to find the words. Art is widely recognised as a therapeutic process across a range of mental health needs as well as a means of building a sense of community. The aim is to work with Year 6 students who will be transitioning to Secondary School and need a boost of selfconfidence, may struggle with anxieties, have a fear of failure and/or struggle to express themselves.

The Lounge is a space within school to “come as you are” and step away from the pressure. The Lounge is run by our trained volunteers and Soulscape staff, who are on hand to chat with any student who wants to talk. It’s a space to share what’s on your mind, process what you’re feeling, or just to take some time out from the pressure and relax.
==> picture [189 x 89] intentionally omitted <==
Soulscape’s volunteer mentors work with students in primary and secondary schools. It’s an opportunity for young people to be supported one-on-one, prioritise their mental wellbeing and personal development, and talk through whatever is on their mind before it becomes a bigger problem.

PAUSE is Soulscape’s interactive prayer space for young people at school. Carving out space during the busy school day for personal reflection and prayer, it invites young people of all faiths and none to think about what and who is important in their lives. There are opportunities to remember people loved and lost, opportunities to explore hopes and dreams and opportunities to recognise and let go of regrets. PAUSE is primarily a space for personal exploration, time to ‘be’, an opportunity to stop looking at the clock

Festival Republic have introduced AIR Hubs to Reading Festival. The purpose of the AIR Huns is to provide Assistance, Information and Response to those attending the festival, running 24 hours a day for 6 days. Soulscape was approached by Festival Republic to run one of these Hubs due to its reputation with young people’s wellbeing

CAKE is Care And Kindness in Education. Teachers spend a lot of time with young people and are often under a lot of pressure in their role. Food is something that brings people together and on cake day in schools, staff enjoy gathering together in the staff room. Our teams of bakers produce wonderful homemade bakes to deliver to the schools. A practical way to show kindness, letting staff know they’re appreciated.
This year we continue to collaborate with Reading College where some of their Y12 & Y13 students supported delivery of our More Inside Out project, using art to work with Y6 students who might find transition to secondary school more challenging.
We were also invited by Kingston University to support their Creative Project Management course by being a client to which they could pitch a project. We were in good company with other potential clients, the BBC and the Government. This was an enriching experience for both the students and Soulscape.
During the Spring we were pleased to partner with Reading University through their internship scheme to work with a fundraiser. Fundraising is an area where we need support, and it was good to be working with Reading University.
Also during the Spring, we were honored to be visited by The Mayor of Wokingham, Cllr Caroline Smith, who was able to meet our core team and learn of the work and impact of Soulscape.
We were invited to speak at the Youth in Mind Berkshire Conference 2023 in June, where we were able to share about the impact of our work with young people in schools. It is noteworthy that Soulscape is now considered an authority when discussing young people’s wellbeing.
This year, our CEO and Operations Manager successfully completed the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and

our Operations Manager continue to successfully complete the Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Theory.
Our CEO and Operations Manager remain active in local advisory groups, Wokingham SACRE (the Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education); Community and Faith Sector Steering Group – Children, Young People and Families; and Chaplaincy And Schools work Around Reading
We continue to outsource our communication to FRESH01, a digital agency, who meet all of the charities marketing, social media, website, publishing and other needs.
We have maintained our twice termly vlogs (starting during the COVID pandemic and as a direct result of lockdown) to our supporters to maintain engagement. This is a position action that has flowed from the pandemic and is one that we are likely to maintain going forward.
Feedback from Staff and Students
Feedback is received from students and staff to enable the trustees to shape the work of the Charity in accordance with its purposes and resources.

Plans for the future
We remain confident about the effectiveness of our projects and the need within schools for delivery of the same. That said, we continue with our full review of each project to ensure that it remains relevant. To help us achieve this, we will continue with our young people’s forums, a space where we can ask young people what worries them and discuss the charities’ response through our projects.
Our Lounge project has particular traction with schools due to the nature of the session being akin to group mentoring and we see this as an area of growth. Also, building relationships with churches to help meet our need for volunteers and funding to support growth.
Following very warm responses from Reading schools, we intend to extend our reach by delivering projects in Reading, establishing ourselves as a Berkshire wide charity. We continue to raise awareness of Soulscape and the work that we do, being part of the conversation when young people’s wellbeing is discussed in Berkshire.
We have built strong relationships with other charities both locally and nationally and intend to continue to do this.
Finally, we plan to build financial resilience but exploring alternative funding streams through business, local authority funding and grants.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. The public benefit of the Charity’s activities is defined in our objectives (see above) and these are achieved principally by supporting local schools in helping students to deal with life pressures e.g. stress at school, bullying, sexual
Soulscape Annual Report & Financial Statements 22/23
13
pressures and drugs. The Charity also supports the Religious Education curriculum in schools to both advance the Christian faith and education. All services are delivered (where appropriate) from a Christian moral and spiritual perspective.
The Charity receives feedback from students and staff of the schools it visits in the Wokingham area to enable it to create new activities and to update/tailor current workshops/clubs/activities to keep them relevant.
Financial Review
The Charity’s bank balance decreased during the year from an opening balance of £29.0k to close the year at £20.0k, this represents 2.6 months of costs and is above our target of holding at least two months of operating costs.
Net of receipts (payments) showed an outflow of £8.9k compared to an inflow in the previous year of £13.8k. Net Income (Net Receipts adjusted for accruals and prepayments) showed a deficit of £4.5k, which is a decrease of £14.6k over the £10.1k surplus achieved in the previous year.
Compared to the previous year, Gross income reduced by £11.1k mainly due to the ending of £6k of restricted income from the previous year, and the ending of £6.8k of a Government DWP employee subsidy. Total Expenditure increased by £3.5k of which £5.1k was an increase in Personnel costs due to the addition of a part-time Lounge and Mentoring Leader, and a reduction of £1.5k in other costs.
The increase in staff allowed a continuation of growth in our delivery capability. We are still looking to fill a role for fundraising.
Remuneration policy for key management personnel
The trustees have identified the charity’s CEO and Operations Manager as the key management personnel of the charity. Executive pay is determined by the Trustees, with decisions about executive pay being informed by comparison to salaries within the sector, and subject to a “value for money” test. Salaries are reviewed annually.
Investment policy
The Charity has power to do anything which is calculated to further its Objects or is conducive or incidental to doing so. In particular, the CIO has power to: deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager and arrange for the investments or other property of the CIO to be held in the name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees of a trust are permitted to do by
Soulscape Annual Report & Financial Statements 22/23
14
the Trustee Act 2000; and do anything else within the law which is incidental and conducive to the Objects.
Fundraising policy
The Charity does engage in public fundraising (through volunteers and commercial participators) but does not use professional fundraisers. We monitor the relevant fundraising regulations and codes to ensure compliance, if relevant. During the year there was no non-compliance of these regulations and codes and the Charity received no complaints relating to its fundraising practice.
Reserves policy and going concern
The Charity has agreed to maintain a liquid balance of income equal to at least two months of salary expenditure to meet its commitments and provide stability in the event of any deterioration in voluntary giving.
Risk
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified by the Trustees and procedures established to mitigate these risks are monitored and reviewed regularly and have been recorded in the risk register. We minimise finance risk by the preparation and monitoring of budgets; strategic risk by the maintenance of good practice in delivery of our services; and operational risk and regulation compliance risk through the regular review of activities and the use of professional advisers, where appropriate.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
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 charity’s financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principals in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
Soulscape Annual Report & Financial Statements 22/23
15
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice 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 business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Independent Auditor
Ian Phillips was appointed as the charity’s auditor during the period and has expressed his willingness to act in that capacity.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Soulscape
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and
That an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section L44 of the Charities Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. lt also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair' view and the report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
