## **Trustees’ Report**
## 1. **Message from the Chair and Chief Executive**
We are writing this annual report at a time of considerable economic uncertainty, with the world reeling from the actions being taken by the new US administration, and a very real risk of global recession. In the UK, the Labour government elected last July was already facing a hugely difficult task of delivering improvements in the lives of UK citizens, hemmed in as it is by commitments made on tax and its fiscal rules.
The charity sector in the UK is being impacted by the wider economic environment, with rising costs of wages, energy and insurance. Recruitment and retention of skilled staff continues to be a challenge. This has left many charities, large and small, facing significant cuts or even complete closure of their services. Yet the services provided by charities are more in demand than ever. Grant funding is also more in demand than ever before, with trusts and foundations closing temporarily to deal with overwhelming numbers of applications or closing their doors entirely to new applicants.
YEF’s membership and the services we provide to members have continued to grow this year. We now have 98 members, supporting up to 64,000 children and young people through a wide array of targeted and universal services for children from birth, all the way up to the age of 25. Our members are still characterised by their targeted and needs-led approach to service delivery: 88% of our members are small charities; and 85% are led by and for the communities they serve. Once again, our grassroots groups are digging deep, and finding creative and innovative ways to continue delivering, despite the national picture.
For YEF, this was the first year of delivery of our new strategy, in which we made several commitments to support the groups providing essential services to Ealing’s children, young people, and families.
We have increased our focus on training and development, delivering a programme of eight training, workshops and events focused both on organisational development and sustainability, and on developing individual practitioners. This included our first professional youth work qualifications at level 1 and 2. This year, 216 people from 41 organisations accessed our training and workshops, an increase of 105% on the previous year.
We made good on our promise to increase funding for the sector, particularly through our one-toone fundraising support, delivered by Rachel, who has, to date, brought in over £420,000 for the sector. We had one successful partnership bid, and await the outcome of a number more, using our understanding of member needs to lead on big-ticket opportunities for our members.
Our Ealing Young Champions programme, which gives young people in Ealing the opportunity to contribute to discussions and decisions which affect their lives, has continued to mature this year. The lovely Hollie moved on to a role at a national organisation where she will have the opportunity to support young people to influence national, strategic policy, and we welcomed Rahma Hussein, who has hit the ground running and already engaged young people in a variety of opportunities to work with local decision-makers.
Our third awards ceremony was the biggest yet, a wonderful celebration of the achievements of Ealing’s children, young people and the amazing groups who serve them. The event raises the

profile of the work being done in the borough, highlighting the diversity of groups delivering local programmes.
And last, but not least, we have entered into discussion with Ealing Council to try and take over the Greenford Library, and transform it into a vibrant, locally-led Community Managed Library and hub for children, young people, families and the whole community.
## **Elly Heaton, CEO & Paul Bradford, Chair**
## **2. Introduction**
The Trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Young Ealing Foundation (“YEF”) for the year ended 31st March 2025. The Trustees confirm that these Annual Report and Financial Statements comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Foundation’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102 issued in 2015.
## **Membership Overview**
As of the end of March 2025, the Young Ealing Foundation has **98 members** supporting up to **64,000 children and young people** across the London Borough of Ealing per year.
Our member organisations operate in all seven towns of the borough and reflect that Ealing is the third most diverse borough in London, with **95% identifying as being equity-led.**
We know that the voluntary sector in Ealing is made up of small and micro-organisations and this is reflected in our members’ turnover, **74% have a turnover of under £500,000** and **53% have a turnover of under £100,000.**
In terms of staffing, our members have an average of four paid full-time members of staff, ten paid part-time members of staff and five volunteers.
The important work of our member organisations is underpinned by a total of **3,863 volunteers** who give up their time for free in order to support Ealing’s children and young people.
## Member Renewals
From January to March, our Membership and Operations Manager, Lamise, spent **190 hours** conducting one-to-one Membership Renewal meetings with our member organisations. Having these in-depth meetings allowed us to check in with every member to ensure they were aware of all the support available to them through YEF membership. It also provided us with rich data and insights into emerging local needs which will shape our offer for the next twelve months.

**(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
## **3. Objectives and Activities**
This year we launched our new three-year strategy, sharpening our focus on where we can have the greatest impact. Guided by sector need and where our resources can make the most meaningful difference, we identified two key objectives:
- Enabling the best opportunities for young people
- Driving sector advocacy and leadership
## _**Objective 1: Enabling the best opportunities for young people**_
## Member Support
One of the key ways we enable the best opportunities for young people is by providing a comprehensive package of free support to our member organisations. This includes year-round training and tailored one-to-one guidance, designed to strengthen organisational resilience, sustainability and the quality of services delivered to young people in Ealing.
## Training
This year’s training programme consisted of eight training sessions with a total of 216 attendees.
Subjects were as follows:
- First Aid
- ADHD and Autism
- Bid Writing
- Navigating School Exclusions
- Trauma Informed Approaches
- Mental Health First Aid
- Conflict Resolution
- Level 1 Youth Work
91% of attendees noted an improvement in knowledge because of attending our training sessions and feedback has included:
_“Going to be using a lot of this knowledge going forward! Amazing - Ade is an inspiration!”_
_Navigating School Exclusions, delivered by YEF Member, PARC_
_“Thank you so much for such an informative session today. The trainer was excellent at concisely sharing so much useful information with us all and it was a fun and engaging session.”_

## 121 Support
We believe that relationship-led, context-aware support can equip small community organisations to shift from reactive service delivery to proactive, sustainable leadership, ensuring they are ready to meet the needs of their communities for years to come.
Unlike larger charities that can afford costly consultants, many of our member organisations simply don’t have that option. That’s why, alongside training, we offer free, tailored one-to-one support in areas like fundraising, governance, strategy and communications, all delivered by our experienced senior leadership team.
From guiding members through their CIO registrations to providing tailored bid-writing support and strategy development, we delivered 137 one-to-one support sessions this year, helping organisations strengthen their foundations, secure new funding and enhance the quality of services for young people in Ealing.
## Strengthening Fundraising Across the Sector: YEF Member Fundraiser
In response to ongoing fundraising pressures in the local voluntary sector, we were proud to appoint a dedicated Member Fundraiser this year, welcoming Rachel Phelan back to the YEF team.
This new role focuses on providing tailored one-to-one support, as well as coordinating and delivering targeted fundraising training for our members.
Over the year, 65 organisations benefited from 109 bespoke support sessions, helping to boost sustainability, build capacity, and strengthen project delivery across the borough. Funding secured through this support totalled £425,706, with many applications still awaiting decisions.
“We were successful with our Reaching Communities funding application. We couldn’t have done this without you - thank you for all your help and guidance.”
— Ealing Anchor Foundation, £200,000 awarded
Alongside direct support, our Member Fundraiser plays a key role in developing new partnerships and coordinating joint funding bids, driving greater sector-wide impact through collaboration and shared learning.
## – Case Study: Haven Woods CIC Nurturing Childhood Through Nature
Haven Woods CIC is a grassroots community interest company nestled in the woodlands of Hanwell, offering children and families the chance to connect with nature through outdoor learning, creativity, and play. Their sessions are designed to support emotional well-being, confidence and personal growth in a safe and inclusive space, particularly for young people with additional needs.
Like many of our member organisations, Haven Woods was full of passion but faced barriers when it came to accessing funding. With limited experience in fundraising and a desire to grow their offer for young people with SEND, they reached out to Young Ealing Foundation for support.
Through one-to-one sessions, our Member Fundraiser, Rachel, helped them understand local funding opportunities, refine their approach to costings, and build the confidence to apply for our
```

```
## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
## **(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
Small Grants programme, designed specifically to support smaller organisations doing vital work in the borough.
The outcome was significant. Haven Woods secured funding to launch a woodland-based programme for 16-25-year-olds with SEND. But the impact went far beyond the sessions themselves. With the grant, they were also able to offer a paid support role to a parent who had first come into contact with the organisation through a previous YEF-funded project.
That parent, who has two children with SEND, hadn’t worked in over 15 years. The opportunity to contribute to the programme helped her rebuild her confidence and skills and eventually led to her finding additional part-time work.
_“Through your guidance in our one-to-one meeting, you gave me the information and confidence to apply.”_
_“We were only able to offer [the parent] this opportunity through being supported by you, to apply for the Small Grants for this programme… Thank you! You make a difference.”_
For Haven Woods, the grant didn’t just fund a project, it sparked new possibilities, strengthened community connections and created powerful, real-world outcomes for families. It’s a clear example of how the right support at the right time can help small organisations grow their impact.
## Case Study: Centre for Armenian Information and Advice (CAIA)
Acton -based Centre for Armenian Information and Advice (CAIA) supports vulnerable members of the Armenian community across the UK, helping them to thrive as UK citizens while preserving their cultural identity.
CAIA reached out to Young Ealing Foundation for support at a critical point in their journey. The charity faced a number of challenges: a heavy reliance on its founding leadership, chronic funding insecurity, informal governance practices and difficulties recruiting younger professionals into the organisation. With sustainability and succession planning becoming increasingly urgent, CAIA recognised the need for external, expert support.
YEF stepped in to deliver a bespoke programme of one-to-one support. Over three months, we worked closely with CAIA’s leadership team and trustees, combining strategic planning workshops, stakeholder consultations, governance reviews, and targeted fundraising advice. Led by our CEO, Elly Heaton, this process included a board strategy day, a full SWOT analysis and the development of a new three-year organisational strategy and budget framework. We also helped refine recruitment processes, introduced trustee appraisals and provided essential HR documentation templates.
As a result of our support, CAIA emerged with a clear, actionable vision for the future, improved governance practices and renewed confidence among board and staff. A shared sense of purpose now underpins the organisation’s next steps, as they recruit new leadership and embed long-term sustainability into their operations.
Reflecting on the experience, CAIA described the process as transformational:

## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
## **(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
"The strategic planning process helped us articulate a shared vision and confront longstanding issues. YEF’s support felt bespoke and respectful of our identity as a community-rooted organisation."
## Small Grants
This year marked the fourth round of our Small Grants programme, delivered in partnership with John Lyon’s Charity. Through the programme, Young Ealing Foundation members could apply for grants of up to £8,000 to support projects working with children and young people, or for core costs if their organisation exclusively serves this group. Larger grants of up to £10,000 were available for organisations supporting children and young people with SEND.
In total **18** Small Grants were given out for the total amount of **£126,541.26.**
We provided bespoke feedback, support and guidance throughout the application process to ensure applications had the best possible chances of success.
A list of Members who received funding can be found on page 31. These grants will enable local groups to reach **867 children and young people** through activities varying from art psychotherapy sessions for young people and parents affected by domestic violence to an employability cafe for young people with SEND.
We also continued our Supplementary School Grants programme in partnership with John Lyon’s Charity, giving out a total of **£24,500** to 7 organisations.
## Ealing Young Champions
Our pioneering Ealing Young Champions programme puts young people at the heart of decisionmaking in Ealing, ensuring they are not only heard but have real influence in shaping their community.
Over the past year, we worked with 40 young people from across the borough, empowering them to lead and contribute to a wide range of initiatives. Young Champions sat on grants panels alongside professionals, designed and delivered social action projects and took part in consultations with local developers and Ealing Council to help shape improvements to the local area.
Through these opportunities, young people developed their leadership, confidence and advocacy skills and made a lasting impact on the community around them.
## Case Study: Youth Social Action
This year, 16 Ealing Young Champions took part in a six-week programme focused on social action.
Through a series of group sessions and one-to-one support, the young people designed and delivered five community projects tackling issues such as period poverty, translation barriers, environmental action and support for low-income families.
Projects included distributing 50 “Backpack Booster” care packages to families preparing for the new school year, organising community clean-ups through “Green Hunters,” and creating a peer-to-

peer resource for teen translators - a project that sparked wider conversations around recognising young translators within the borough.
Collectively, these initiatives directly impacted over 200 people across Ealing.
The young people reported significant personal growth, developing leadership, communication and teamwork skills. One participant said, "This project allowed me to make a change in people’s lives... I made many friends during this project too, which made me even more invested." Another reflected, "Working as a group helped me gain social skills. It wasn’t just about my ideas - I learnt how to listen and build something better together."
Their work has left a lasting legacy, sparking community conversations and inspiring more young people to take action. As one Young Champion put it, "This experience has shown me how meaningful and impactful it can be to support others who are going through similar challenges."
## Networks and Forums
Regular networks and forums continue to play a key role in our work to enable the best opportunities for children and young people.
This year saw the continuation of our quarterly ‘Level Up Youth Worker Forum’, a dedicated place for local youth workers and youth organisations to come together to share best practices, receive up-to-date information and guidance and create a space where impactful partnerships can grow.
We also had a number of meet the funder events and specific consultation events to explore the potential of taking on Greenford Library as a community managed library. In total, we had 253 attendees across eight forums
Feedback included: “ _Thanks so much for the Wednesday's event. It was great to be able to meet so many people in one place working with young people and for it to be facilitated so well by yourself and colleagues._ – Attendee, Level Up Youth Worker Forum
## Parent Carer Champions Network
The Parent Carer Champion Network (PCCN) supports parents and carers navigating concerns around violence affecting young people, exploitation and mental health, helping families feel better connected, more confident and empowered to access the support they need.
The project is funded by MOPAC and delivered in partnership with Ealing Council and four of our members, ESDEG, GOSAD, HSENA and Znaniye Foundation who bring vital local knowledge and relationships to the programme, ensuring the work is truly community embedded.
Over the past year, 10 trained Parent Carer Champions mentored other parents, providing targeted advice on understanding youth violence, navigating systems like education and social care and building confidence to advocate for their children. Across the programme, 331 parents and carers have been reached to date, with 216 children and young people indirectly supported through their involvement.

## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
Many of the families engaged had faced barriers to accessing formal services in the past, often due to cultural, linguistic or systemic challenges. Through peer mentoring, coffee mornings, tailored workshops and one-to-one support, the project creates safe spaces where parents can share, learn and grow together.
Parents reported increased confidence in supporting their children’s needs, better understanding of their rights and stronger community connections.
“Through the programme, I learned how to listen. I learned not to be just a parent but a friend. That’s what teenagers need.”
“It wasn’t just good for my family — it helped me help my neighbours too. Now I share what I learned with others.”
The ripple effects of peer-led support were clear. Coffee mornings became vibrant hubs for learning and community building, with demand exceeding expectations. Multilingual Parent Carer Champions helped to break down language barriers and made sessions more inclusive for families who often felt excluded.
The wider system has taken notice of it too.
“At the Violence Reduction Unit, we know it’s people’s shared experiences that really hit home. Ealing’s Parent Carer Champion Network is a brilliant example of building those trusted connections so families can access the support they need.”
- The Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC)
_**Objective 2: Driving sector advocacy and leadership**_
Advocacy
At Young Ealing Foundation, we believe in the importance of championing the vital role that voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations play in our borough. These groups are the frontline experts, rooted in their communities and trusted by the people they support. Yet, their work too often goes unrecognised.
Advocacy is a key part of what we do. We amplify our members’ voices to external stakeholders to ensure the VCFSE sector gets the visibility and investment it deserves. We also create space for collaboration within the sector itself, helping members connect with each other and with statutory partners to build stronger, more effective local partnerships.
- Case Study: A Multi Agency Approach to SEND Advice Access
This year, Young Ealing Foundation (YEF) supported with forming a new partnership to tackle a growing concern: families from marginalised communities in Ealing were missing out on vital SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) support due to language barriers, system complexity, and a lack of trusted advocacy.
Bringing together national charity IPSEA, local partners Contact Ealing, HSENA, the West London NHS SEND team, and grassroots groups including Hikayetna and the Sikh Human Rights Group, the
## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
## **(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
partnership aimed to improve access to free legal SEND advice and build stronger local referral pathways.
“YEF’s support has been essential in enabling IPSEA to reach communities we’ve never had access to before. Their local knowledge and networks helped us build credibility quickly.” - IPSEA
YEF played a central convening role, brokering relationships, embedding IPSEA into borough networks and co-designing outreach activities with community groups. The first joint event was hosted at Greenford Library in January 2025, featuring a tri-lingual focus group (English, Arabic, Somali) followed by on-site legal advice.
Nine parents took part, the majority of whom had never accessed legal SEND support before. Every participant agreed the session addressed key issues around special educational needs, and nine out of ten rated the legal clinic as “excellent.” Feedback highlighted how valued the space was, with parents describing it as “safe,” “friendly,” and “very informative.” For many, it was the first time they felt truly heard and supported in navigating the SEND system.
A virtual clinic followed in March 2025, expanding reach and reinforcing demand for ongoing support.
“I like to know all the rights we have as a SEN parent… This is a very important topic and the whole country should talk about it.”
The partnership has strengthened trust between grassroots organisations, statutory services, and national advice providers, laying the foundation for future joint delivery, co-produced resources and a more inclusive borough-wide model of support.
## YEF Directory
The YEF Directory is our comprehensive online guide to children and young people’s activities and services across Ealing. Featuring over 120 live listings at any one time, it’s a vital tool for families, professionals and young people looking to connect with local opportunities. This year alone, the directory attracted over 6,000 visitors, playing a key role in boosting visibility for our members and the brilliant work they do in the community.
## Young Ealing Foundation Awards
Our annual Young Ealing Foundation Awards Ceremony is a flagship event that shines a spotlight on the outstanding work of our members and the incredible young people they support. It’s a powerful platform to raise awareness of the talent, dedication, and impact found across Ealing’s youth sector.
This year, we proudly hosted our third annual ceremony at the stunning Grade II-listed Ealing Christian Centre in Northfields. The evening was a celebration of young people’s achievements and a tribute to the innovative organisations and youth workers who go above and beyond to support them every day.
The evening was co-hosted by Ealing Young Champion, Emily Bunder and Westside Talent's Jojo Silva, alongside a stellar line-up of award presenters including leader of the Council, Cllr Peter Mason, Rupa Huq MP, Cllr Bassam Mahfouz, and many more. Fifteen awards were given out in total

and the evening included a video message from Hollywood actor Will Poulter who said “The winning is in the honour of the work you are doing. Whether you take home an award or not, you're all winners.”
With over 270 attendees, including local businesses, youth workers, young people, MPs and local leaders, the evening showcased the very best of Ealing’s young talent. Ealing Street Dance Academy, C2, Just Add Water, Corni, Carlos, and Voices Singing School gave electric performances, reminding everyone of the immense creative talent within our community.
The event would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC), Freshwater Foundation, Kirby Group Engineering, Miindfulness, and Lets Leap Sports Academy.

## **4. Fundraising**
The Young Ealing Foundation undertakes all fundraising activities in line with the Fundraising Code of Practice. The charity is committed to fundraising which is legal, open, honest and respectful. If fundraising activities are managed on the charity’s behalf by volunteers, appropriate support is provided to ensure their fundraising activities protect both the reputation of the charity and its supporters.
The Board of Trustees and CEO actively review risks to income generation and support the Senior Leadership Team to deliver a clear fundraising strategy. The majority of the Young Ealing Foundation’s income is secured from charitable trusts and foundations. Despite the many challenges presented by the cost-of-living crisis, the Young Ealing Foundation achieved considerable growth in diversifying income and raising the profile of the charity to funders and the local community.

## **5. Grant Making**
During the year ended 31 March 2025, the Young Ealing Foundation worked collaboratively with John Lyon’s Charity to distribute a number of funds. Through our grants programmes, we have distributed a total of **£258,964** to **38** voluntary organisations working in the borough. Grants range in size from £1,000 to £24,000. A full list of grants is included on page 31 of this report.
## **6. Financial Review of the Year**
Total net incoming resources for the year was £705,510, details of which are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Total expenditure for the year was £736,419. The balance of funds at the end of the year was £295,370 of which £61,723 is restricted. The balance of unrestricted funds carried forward includes a General Reserve of £96,000. The remaining £137,647 will be required for the running costs of the charity in 2024-25.
## **7. Future Plans**
Over the next year, we will continue to deliver activities in line with our overarching strategic objectives which are to enable the best opportunities for young people and to drive sector advocacy and leadership.
We have reflected on the challenges which our members have reported as being the most significant and have developed a programme of support, events and training across four areas: funding and financial sustainability; recruitment and retention of staff and volunteers; venues for delivery and leadership; and succession planning and governance. We will deliver this support in the ways our members tell us we do best: through connecting people and developing partnerships; specific fundraising support; training and workshops; and communications and information about local offers and opportunities.
We will continue to provide our existing training programme, quarterly networks, 121 fundraising support and partnership projects. In addition, we will increase our focus on supporting leadership and sustainability through a specific programme of training for local charity leaders. We will also look at a more joined-up way of supporting local groups to make the most of local venues and spaces to increase and enhance delivery. We will ensure our members’ lived experience of supporting the communities facing most systemic inequality is at the heart of our approach to developing partnerships, ensuring that all of Ealing’s children and young people can thrive.
## **8. Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Governance**
Throughout the year the board was made up of ten trustees. Board decisions are taken at bimonthly board meetings, with new trustees being officially appointed by members at the AGM. There were no sub-committees of the board, although ad-hoc task and finish groups have been set up throughout the year to support the CEO on specific items such as risk management.
During the financial year we conducted a full trustee audit and we will continue to monitor whether Board composition provides the skills, experience and diversity appropriate to the organisation as it grows.

```
**(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
New Trustees are subject to an in-depth induction process, which includes providing:
- Information about roles and duties of Trustees from the charity commission
- Memorandum and Articles of Association
- Dates of Board meetings
- List of Trustees with contact details
- Business / Strategic Plan
- Trustee Code of Conduct
- Trustee handbook including key policies
- Annual Report and Summarised Accounts
- Organisation Chart
- Information about current projects
Trustees also meet key staff members including the CEO to discuss current priorities and projects, and are subject to references, DBS checks and eligibility checks. Trustees are not remunerated, however they can apply for expenses for attending meetings including travel and childcare costs associated with attending.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees confirm they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity’ (PB2).”
## **Reserves policy**
The Young Ealing Foundation has a cash reserve, also known as working capital, of approximately three months’ core costs. This is the immediate cover required in the event of the need to close down the charity. The Trustees have agreed that the charity must maintain a cash reserve equivalent to three months’ core running costs and to cover contracts to which Young Ealing Foundation is already committed. Three months’ is estimated to be approximately £90,000 in line with the agreed budget.
In making funding decisions for future projects and activities the Trustees will not commit until sufficient funding has been raised. In this way sufficient reserves should at all times be maintained for the future costs of the Charity.
In considering the reserves requirement, any amounts held as Restricted funds are not included except to the extent that they affect funding decisions involving specific projects to which those Restricted funds relate.
The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees.

## **Risk Management**
The Young Ealing Foundation has a detailed risk register, outlining all the principle risks under the following categories:
- Governance
- Operational
- Financial
- External
- Youth Voice
- Membership.
The risk register is reviewed annually by a sub-committee of the board of trustees, at which point existing controls are reviewed, the likelihood and impact of a risk occurring are assessed, and further controls and mitigating actions are agreed with a deadline. The risk register is updated by the CEO on a bi-monthly basis for review at meetings of the Board of Trustees.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Foundation and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Foundation for that year.
In preparing these Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; and
- Prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Foundation will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Foundation and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Foundation 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 Foundation and financial information included on the Foundation’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
## **(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Young Ealing Foundation (Charity No. 1171554)**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 20-31 of the Trustees Annual Report.
## **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(2) 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 145 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 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 charity 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 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 those matters set out in the next statement.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention: which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
**(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**_
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
Young Ealing Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
## **1.1.Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Young Ealing Foundation’s Charitable Incorporated Organisation Association, the Charities Act 2011 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 2019)". The Young Ealing Foundation is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Young Ealing Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2.Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Young Ealing Foundation 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.
## **1.3.Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
```

**YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
**(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)**
## **1.4.Income**
Income is recognised when the Young Ealing Foundation is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Grants are recognised in the financial statements when due. Donations are recognised when received. Sales are recognised when the related services have been provided.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Young Ealing Foundation has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
## **1.5.Expenditure**
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes irrecoverable VAT. Grants payable are recognised as expenditure when payment is due to the partner organisation in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
## **1.6.Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
## **1.7.Financial instruments**
The Young Ealing Foundation has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Young Ealing Foundation’s balance sheet when the Young Ealing Foundation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## **Basic financial assets**
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
```

```
**(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1171554)**
## **YOUNG EALING FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)**
## **Basic financial liabilities**
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **1.8.Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Young Ealing Foundation is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.9.Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Young Ealing Foundation’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
