Progress report for AGM 18th November 2025

Since our last AGM (2/10/24) we have:

• Continued to meet our charitable aims and strive for our further stability and growth. We have been able to prepare for growth in our capacity by welcoming our Operations and Clinical Lead Sami Goulding, made possible by the hard work of the team including Ellie, Pete and the Board in fundraising and sustainability planning. We have moved into new and larger premises at Exeter Library which is more suitable for our wide age range from 5 to 25, with accessible rooms and now our own 1:1 and group rooms as a base for our work. We have been delighted to grow our therapy team and welcome new therapists, expanding our offer of creative therapies.

• We have navigated some challenging clinical and financial times with the reductions to the Adoption Support Fund having a negative impact of some of the most vulnerable young people and families we support. We should feel proud of how we have worked together to reflect on and implement strategies to try and reduce these negative effects as well as advocate for change.

• We continue to grow relationships and partnerships with other voluntary sector, NHS and schools partners, predominately through the Family Minds Partnership and this has been recognised by further commissioned of our Progressions arts therapy programme, now being delivered in it’s second iteration in Honiton and Exeter.

• We worked with 74 children and young people providing either one to one arts therapy sessions, a place in an arts therapy group or a place on a therapeutic arts project. This number is slightly lower than last year and is a reflection of how we have worked more intensively with some young people with more complex needs for longer periods (e.g. By Your Side), as well as gaps in therapy due to ASF funding pauses and no RAMM photography groups in last year.

• Key projects with CYP this year have been our core arts therapy service, By Your Side arts therapy programme for young people more at risk of suicidal thoughts, and our first regular arts activity group the Young Arts Club for those aged 8-12 and experiencing difficulties with mental health, social relationships and/or transitions.

• Our fantastic creative therapists continue to work with a diverse group of children and young people and we are offering art, music, drama, dance movement psychotherapy and now play therapy also.

• We have benefited from working with our Fundraising Officer Ellie and together we have brought in new grants including for core funding from the Postcode Lottery as well as some project specific funding and donations for businesses.

• We continue to provide purchased arts therapy through adoption services and local authorities and this is an important part of us reaching more young people as well as meeting our overheads. We wish to strive towards growing and sustaining our earned income streams and are exploring options including offering paid for therapy groups via Devon’s Family Hubs triage pathway and also projects through the Prevent team.

• • We would like to grow our professional training offerings and have submitted a proposal to Devon to deliver further Anxiety & Me skills sharing and resource training or school staff.

• Sincere thanks must go to the generosity and skills of our Trustees as well as our development and admin team who make sure all is in order and we are planning for sustainability as well as growth. We welcomed Zara this year as a new Trustee who brings with her a wealth of experience and insights and has been supporting Laura with social media and youth representation. We would like to thank Matt who stepped down as Trustee after a committed and helpful period in this role.

Our aims for the year ahead include:

• To review our Board targets and continue to strive towards these.

• To continue to raise grant funds for our arts therapy service for those on lower incomes and especially those who are struggling to get the help they need.

• Growing our reach to help more children, young people and families, including a firm presence in East Devon.

• Building sustainable income streams with a broad range of customers as well as continuing to raise grants and donations.

• Developing our evaluation and impact reporting and to explore research options with Exeter University and/or other potential partners.

• Increasing our co-designing of projects with young people and families and to continue offering more groups as well as 1:1 programmes.

• Continuing to build on how we support and develop our staff team, to sustain quality and capacity.

• To continue to explore how we can support the whole family more to further develop positive outcomes.

• To continue to pursue partnership working and relationship building with a view to larger bids for grants and/or to become purchased by local authorities and/or NHS.

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:

Charitable Incorporated Organisation No: 1170692 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended 31 March 2025

Accounting Policies Statement of Compliance 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)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The Charity 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 note(s).

Going Concern The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Resources Expended All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable Activities Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support Costs Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Tangible Fixed Assets Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Fixtures & Fittings 25% pa straight line

Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Trade Creditors Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Funds Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Cash and Cash Equivalent Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful life of that assist as follows:
