AMENDED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS' FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2022
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2022.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 3 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company limited by guarantee.
The charity is governed by a board of trustees as listed on page 3. Potential new trustees are nominated by existing trustees.
The trustees have considered the principal risks facing the charity and have put in place systems and controls to mitigate them.
Safeguarding policies have been updated in the light of Covid-19.
The trustees have engaged with Hodwell Associates as part of a funded programme from City Trust to increase trustee numbers.
Objectives and Activities
Reverse The Trend Foundation works with children, young people, families and communities across the UK to improve physical, emotional and nutritional health. There is a particular focus on mental health in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Reverse The Trend Foundation recognises the importance of a systematic and multi-sector approach to tackling childhood obesity and mental health. We combine the best business practices with the science of behavioural change and apply this focus into all of our initiatives. We create evidence-based and evidence-gathering programmes.
In setting the objectives and activities for the year, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
We delivered our 12-week Neuronimo programme to 283,000 young people with a set of published outcomes and evaluation.
We extended our resources and inclusiveness by creating animations, closed captions and video content for our programmes.
We created a 12-week Neuronimo At Home programme for parents and care-givers to access. To date over 33,000 registrations have completed Neuronimo At Home.
We ran a week long online programme during Children’s Mental Health week which was attended by over 100,000 young people.
We delivered throughout London, N. Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Cambridge, Essex and Southampton.
We redesigned our University-led Randomised Control Trial to a multi-centre trial in light of Covid-19. Four centres in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will now run the same Study Protocol allowing for cohort changes due to Covid-19. Public health continue to support the RCT along with local authorities. Recruitment to the trial will begin in Autumn 2022.
We have seen an increase of 62% in enquiries from members of the public to access our services.
Collaborations
We continue to work with government agencies to implement our programmes. We work closely with Public Health, Department of Education, Department of Health, The Education Authority, Directors of Education in Wales, SafeFood, SHINE Network in Scotland and Local government throughout the UK. We continue our relationship with CIVA and AHSN’s throughout England.
Our UK Randomised control Trial with our Academic Partners is due to recruit in Autumn 2022.
Technology
We continue to work with Microsoft’s Non Profit programme and to comply with GDPR regulations.

AMENDED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS' (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2022
We have registered with ICO for data compliance.
We have engaged with an Internet Safety provider to provide an NCSC certified IT check. We have updated our website to include added virus protection and information.
We have upgraded our systems and tightened security around all online work.
We have been using a Learning Management System to deliver both online and in person programmes.
Programmes
We continue to create age-appropriate materials and programmes to accommodate children and young people aged 4-18 years old. We have developed and extended our programmes based on evaluation and feedback. Due to the success and appetite for our 12-week programme we are designing a year-round programme.
We have stripped back our programmes to create a minimum baseline of good mental health for children and young people. With only 5% of NHS budgets spent on prevention, we renew our pledge to reverse the trend of childhood obesity and poor mental health.
We have created extensive mental health materials to work alongside our physical and nutritional health programmes. We have endeavoured to maximise inclusivity with our programmes and work, providing translations of work and hard copies where online access is not available.
We have developed a Neuronimo At Home programme for parents are care-givers.
We have adapted the programme and delivered to 10,390 SEND young people.
We have delivered the programme to 6,872 ESL young people.
Reach
We have continued to extend our reach to Cape Town, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
Staff
Our anticipated staff recruitment in 2020 was placed on hold due to deferred funding. We continue to use our Ambassadors on a self-employed basis and outsource our production teams. We aim to recruit permanent staff in line with the expansion of the programme and RCT in 2022/2023.
Volunteers
We continue to work with a total of 28 volunteers.
COVID-19 impact and Cost of Living
As a charity we have continued to be greatly impacted by COVID-19 and the looming cost of living crisis. Our young people have been impacted in both their mental and physical health through and post pandemic. A looming cost of living crisis combined with an energy crisis will further impact both mental and physical health. Cold homes will have an impact as will reduced spending capacity due to rising costs of day-to day bills. Parental stress will impact greatly and we anticipate an increase in demand for services as seen during Covid-19.
Financial Review
The charity has made efforts this year to secure outside funding and continued in this year to put in place the foundations needed to build reserves. We piloted a small charge for our programme as a diversification of income source which was well received and we plan to continue.
The trustees are confident that the ongoing works in getting the structure and procedures in place alongside anticipated contracts will in the future lead to a financially sound basis for the charity.
Reserves
The charity has reached and maintained its 5 months reserves by generating unrestricted surpluses after a previous drop in reserves due to an unprecedented increase of service coupled with a delay in funding due to Covid-19.
Accountants
Castle View Accounting were appointed as accountants to the charitable company.
