FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charitable incorporated organisation is to advance the education of the public in the subject of skills to reach ones full potential.
Our world has changed dramatically in the last fifty years, and our children’s experience of growing up is different to any previous generation. There is an urgent need for all teenagers to be taught psychological fitness skills. Adolescence is a crucial developmental turning point, providing a particularly receptive time to learn in a lasting way.
Psychological fitness is a combination of mental resilience and emotional wellbeing, essential for empowering our nation’s young people. Our method combines well-founded theoretical concepts from years of sound research, shaped as a practical approach that can be taught in school and home through parents. We know with practice, psychological fitness can be taught and mastered for enhanced happiness, wellbeing and life skills.
Bounce Forward has been an independent charity since December 2016, originally under the name How to Thrive.
Financial Challenges
As the charity continues to rely on a small number of significant but infrequent donations, trustees have taken a prudent approach in recognising this position.
During the year, steps have been taken to strengthen financial resilience, including a significant reduction in fixed costs and a strategic focus on diversifying income through smaller, regular funding streams, although this remains challenging. The charity is also piloting partnership models to embed its approach within organisations operating at greater scale, enhancing both reach and sustainability.
Looking ahead, planned fundraising initiatives are expected to support improved income stability. The organisation continues to deliver meaningful outcomes and remains recognised for its expertise and impact at a national level.
Our Vision
A nation where positive mental health help citizens to live mentally and emotionally well so they thrive in life.
Our Mission
Is two-fold; to give school communities relevant and practical tools, skills and resources they need to build young people’s psychological fitness; and be leaders in transforming how we nurture and build psychological fitness.
Our Principles
-
Collaborate – we create partnerships with schools and engage communities to develop the psychological fitness of the adults of tomorrow.
-
• Young people are resourceful – being resourceful enables the young to bounce forward even in a challenging world. We want young people and their influencers to realise their capability to reach their full potential in life.
-
Be genuine – we are grounded in the real world and practical in our approach. If we aren't the right solution to your problem, we will tell
-
you.
-
Keep learning – we listen carefully, and we know we don't have all the answers.
The Value in what we do
-
Psychological fitness combines mental resilience and emotional wellbeing, key attributes needed for success in the 21st century.
-
We base our approach on solid research, theory and evidence.
-
We teach skills and strategies that work in the real world.
•The adults matter: their role is vital in helping children and young people to be psychologically healthy. •The personal development of young people is as important in society as academics.

What do we do?
There are three main aspects to our work - but all with the aim of shifting the narrative around mental health moving from downstream reactive, deficit model to upstream proactive, strength-based one. We are referred to as a mental health charity, but I see us as a movement driving a focus on psychological fitness.
Bounce Forward provides evidenced based teaching and learning tools and training for schools, from primary through to 6th form.
The teaching and learning is underpinned with sound theories and concepts around building mental resilience and emotional wellbeing. What we have done at Bounce Forward is turn that science into practical skills that can be taught, measured, and mastered - that are applicable and relevant to young people. Our main 'product' is Healthy Minds for secondary schools - the most evidenced based curriculum of its kind. All our teaching and learning resources and self-paced CPD for staff is FREE. Our charity partners include Carlsberg Britvic, Harry Kane Foundation, KJ Smith, Strategic PA Network, Big Change. We deliver projects with local authorities including Oldham, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Barking and Dagenham.
Bounce Forward works with the adults around children.
Parents : We have supported 25,000 parents since 2020 with our science backed courses, mostly funded by Local Authorities or through grants (Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust for eg) but also through our corporate partners (Carlsberg Britvic, Harry Kane Foundation) KJ Smith, Accenture). This work is what led to Routledge asking me and Voula to write the book Raise Resilience: teach your teenager well.
Education : providing professional development for educators in and around schools. So they not only understand the skills but can apply them to their own daily habits. An example being our offer for trainee teachers.
Organisations : as a charity we seek sponsorship for our schools-based work but in return deliver courses that benefit the workplace.
Partnership and collaboration
Bounce Forward works with delivery providers who have much greater scale to embed the Bounce Forward approach. For example, we work with PGL Beyond to deliver a blend of enrichment activities off site at their stunning centres around the country but also in and around school communities. We partner with Multi Academy Trusts to deliver on new government guidance, and we work with BounceTogether on safe use of AI to support schools with wellbeing as part of imporvement planning.
Our priorities for the next year:
• Pilot different models with partners to prove concept and impact of embedding Bounce Forward's approach • Expand our membership reach to schools supported by corporate partnerships and through partnership • Increase our profile through our partnership with the Harry Kane Foundation and others
- Work with local authorities and apply for grants to deliver targeted support.

Reserves policy

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the charitable incorporated organisation's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
(a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
(b) observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
(c) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
(d) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
(e) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable incorporated organisation will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable incorporated organisation and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) regulations and the provisions of the CIO's constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable incorporated organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
On behalf of the board of trustees on 01 June 2026.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Bounce Forward
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charitable incorporated organisation for the year ended 30 September 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 9 and comply with the trust deed and applicable law.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charitable incorporated organisation's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitable incorporated organisation's trustees consider that an audit is not required this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charitable incorporated organisation is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable incorporated organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

BOUNCE FORWARD Notes to the financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102).
The charitable incorporated organisation 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) General information
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), incorporated in England and Wales (charitable incorporated organisation registration number 1170591). The charitable incorporated organisation was incorporated on 06 December 2016. The charitable incorporated organisation communication address is: 210 High Street, Roydon, Essex, CM19 5EQ.
c) Going concern
The trustees acknowledge the deficit on the balance sheet at the year end and have looked in detail at the actual and future expected income and expenditure of the organisation for the next 12 months. The results have improved significantly in the 6 months post year end and the deficit has been reversed. The improvement in results is expected to continue for the next 12 months and the organisation will maintain the surplus position.
Therefore, at the time of approving these financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable incorporation organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
d) Income
Income is recognised when the charitable incorporated organisation 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.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charitable incorporated organisation has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charitable incorporated organisation is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charitable incorporated organisation that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charitable incorporated organisation has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charitable incorporated organisation, or the charitable incorporated organisation is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
e) Donations of gifts, services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charitable incorporated organisation 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 charitable incorporated organisation 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 charitable incorporated organisation which is the amount the charitable incorporated organisation 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.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
f) Interest receivable
-
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charitable incorporated organisation; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
-
g) Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charitable incorporated organisation. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charitable incorporated organisation 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 charitable incorporated organisation’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charitable incorporated organisation.
h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise of trading costs and the costs incurred by the charitable incorporated organisation in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services, exhibitions and other educational
-
● activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charitable incorporated organisation and their associated support costs.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
i) Allocation of support costs
- Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charitable incorporated organisation but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the trusts programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5.
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 charitable incorporated organisation 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 charitable incorporated organisation 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.
