Client baseltarget audience
Children, young people (CYP), and adults with complex rnental heallh conditions and those
struggling to fit in with mainstream education.
Approximately 65 % of our client beneficiaries are CYP aged 5-25 experiencing autistic
spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, learning disabilities, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, domestic abuse,
anxiety and eating disorders, speechlreading andlor hearing impairments, depression and
social isolation; 20 /0 are adults aged 2540 with the same conditions and 15 % are people
aged over 40.
Northamptonshire has the highest pr8val8nce of diagnosed depression in England, 38%
higher th8n the national average, and Hospital admissions for severe mental health issues
gr88tly exce8d the national 8V8rage too with massiv8 waiting lists of referrals for tr88tment.
CYP fmm Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities are often disproportionately 8ffected.
Children and Young People - main target clientele
We particularly target and take referrals for CYP who are 'not in Education, Employment or
Training (NEET), living in care orwith parents dealing with substance-abuse, electively home-
schooled, identified as having intellectual disabilities (SEND), being physically challenged, and
those from low-incorne households andlor who have lrttle or no opportunities to engage in
creative activities and opportunities through not having ICT equipment accessible to them and
home environments conducive to engaging in musical, artistic and cultural artistic creativity.
These CYP are often vulnerable and lonely individuals, disconnected even isolated from their
communities and wider society, and consequentially at risk of being groomed and lured into
involvement in criminal activity. Often living in areas of the town with poor unemployment rates,
l Northamptonshlre County Council- 2016 data/sourceP

their life expectancy outcomes are significantly poorer than average, and they are at much
higher risk of suicide. These issues have been exacerbated by the impact of the pandemic
and its aftemiath and dealing with the complex and often demanding needs involved is
immensely costly for the NHS and negatively impactful on the economy.

Forecast
In the financial years 2021122 and 2022123 it was deliberate policy to use the Charity's
reserves to fund the cost of moving into our current premises and carrying out essential repair
work, supported largely with th8 SUPPOrt of volunteers. We also had to accept increased
inflationary pressures on financing our operations and our account8 for these years therefore
showed a planned operating deficit in our in-year income and expenditure
In 2023124 we had an outturn credit balance of £10078 in income over expenditure which was
used to restore a Reserve capable of funding two months of operating costs. The aim over the
financial years following 2024125 (during which we are forecasting a breakeven budget
outturn) is to increase the reserve as a safety buffer sufficient to cover at least three - six
months of running costs.

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The truslees consider that

that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject lo an audit under charity law and is
elwJible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine Ihe account5 under section 145{1) of the Act..
follow th8 procedures lald down In the general Directions given by the Charty
Commission (under sectlon 145(5)(b) of the Act, as amended; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity

and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consKleration
of any unusual items or disclosures of the accounts and seeking explanations from you as
trustaes 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 lo
whether the accoun18 present a 'true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.

In connection wrth my examination. no matter has come to my attention,.
