The trustees of Flourishing Families Leeds have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when overseeing all of the activities of the charity.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

We believe that every family deserves to flourish and are therefore dedicated to bringing down the barriers which will hinder flourishing. Our vision is to see children growing in confidence and fulfilling their potential, parents well supported and whole families equipped to connect well with each other and the community. We are passionate about helping children and families overcome challenges, painting a brighter horizon for their futures together. We work in areas of the city ranked amongst the most deprived 1% to 5% nationally, partnering with local primary schools, Social Care and other organisations who help us focus on supporting children most at risk from deprivation, inter-generational poverty and social isolation. We ensure that all our beneficiaries play an active part in decision-making and shaping activities so that projects are things that we do together rather than events that are organised ‘for them’. We believe that this approach is an integral part of children and adults growing in confidence and self-esteem. We:

Section D Achievements and erformance p Sasha and her 9-year-old son, Connor, didn’t know how to cook, so they Summary of the main lived off microwave meals every night. They were invited to join our achievements of the charity Family Cookery Club and over the course of eight weeks we saw not only during the year how their confidence grew, but how they became closer as mother and son. Starting off with the basics, we taught them how to make homemade Spaghetti Bolognese and by the end of the club they were making sausage casserole with cauliflower cheese. Connor’s grandparents soon heard about the club and so, every Friday evening Connor and Sasha took over the meal they had made and the family ate it together. Connor’s grandpa would often complain that he couldn’t have more than two servings! Connor now wants to become a chef and, together with his mum, is cooking home-made meals for the two of them every day – their diets and eating habits have been transformed. Sasha has now become a volunteer at our cookery clubs and takes any new recipes home to trial with Connor. She told us: “Before this cookery club all we'd eat at home were microwave meals, now we eat home-made meals every single day and are using our slow cooker tons. If it wasn't for volunteering at this club, I'd just be sat by myself at home feeling rubbish. It gets me out of the house and gets me involved in something, I love it.” We believe that families like Sasha and Connor deserve to flourish and that is why Flourishing Families exists. We are committed to bringing down barriers which hinder families from flourishing. In 2022/23 we worked directly with over 820 children, parents and carers. That’s children being mentored so that their confidence, resilience, quality of relationships and ability to positively deal with challenging circumstances have been completely transformed for the better. That’s families learning to cook together, their diets being changed for good and long-term health outcomes being radically improved. That’s children and parents overcoming one of their biggest barriers. Our work was featured on BBC Breakfast, BBC Look North, various radio stations and local newspapers. We launched a new initiative which we call our Enhanced Volunteer Programme. This Programme is specifically tailored to volunteers who are former beneficiaries of Flourishing Families, many of whom struggle with social isolation, low self-esteem, poor mental health and lack of opportunity. It is designed to enable volunteers to upskill and build confidence, leading to increased wellbeing and self-confidence, less social isolation and enhanced employability. The group provides additional support and development opportunities, alongside all the other activities offered to our volunteers. It is open to anyone who has previously been a part of a Flourishing Families group or activity. Our first pilot group has been a great success, with every participant stating how much they had grown in confidence and learnt new skills. Our work with Leeds City Council has gone from strength to strength with new cookery clubs in the South and West of the city. The success of the Family Cookery Clubs led to us forming a partnership with the University of Leeds. In particular, we have joined a research project called H3 (Healthy Soil, Healthy Food, Healthy People). This then led to a new Slow Cooker Project, inspired by the incredibly sharp rise in the cost of fuel. Slow cookers cost substantially less to run than a conventional oven, but many people are unsure of how to use them. “I thought I was a nobody but after the art mentoring group I’m a somebody”, said an 8-year-old. She sums up why we mentor children. Last year we took the decision to respond in a strong and positive way to the post-covid challenges faced by children by redesigning our mentoring to focus on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Social and Emotional Learning is the process through which all children and adults acquire and

apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships and make responsible and caring decisions. Through our mentoring, children develop a sense of security and safety, as well as increasing resilience. Positive relationships grow with peers and adults, as well as the feelings of “I can do this myself”. The result is a growing confidence and an ability to positively deal with “negative” emotions, which leads to re-engagement socially and in the classroom. The results have been fantastic with 100% of children reporting that they feel listened to at the groups and 98% saying that they feel proud of their achievements because of what they had created at the groups.

As well as developing our mentoring, we have also piloted a Year 6 mentoring programme to help children transition to High School and have begun to use Lego Therapy in the groups to teach children key social skills. Building Lego models in teams helps children to grow in working together, utilises the child’s imagination, makes it accessible for SEN children to play a part in our groups and gives all children a chance to take on leadership roles. What’s more, it’s lots of fun! Our Family Cookery Clubs have been going from strength to strength. They have proved to be a vital lifeline for families in the cost-of-living crisis, providing families with the skills and know-how to prepare costeffective, nutritious and tasty meals. Sadly, an increasing number of families are suffering from low food security with, to quote House of Commons Research Briefing 2022: 8, “the quality, variety, and desirability of their diets being considerably reduced”. Two contributing factors to this are “the energy costs of cooking and the lack of skills or time” (Defra, United Kingdom Food Security Report 2021: Theme 4: Food Security at Household Level, 22 December 2021, cited in House of Commons Research Briefing 2022: 8). Our Family Cookery Clubs aim to combat this by teaching basic cooking skills in a relaxed environment, which further strengthens the relationship between the parent/carer and child. In the past year all our recipes have been redeveloped to reduce the amount of energy they use in order to remain healthy and affordable for our families. Families suffering from food insecurity also eat only half the amount of the fresh fruit and vegetables compared to other families, so our recipes also focus on teaching families that home-made meals made with portions of fruit and vegetables are not only tastier, but also cheaper.

Throughout the last year we have continued to achieve 100% repeatability in our Cookery Clubs, meaning that every family is repeating our recipes regularly at home. This is a very significant result as it means that, with our recipes being healthy, tasty and economical, we are being effective in our primary aims of countering food poverty, poor nutrition and childhood obesity. What’s more, 100% of children state they now enjoy cooking as a result of the club. At the start, typically only around 15% of the children help to cook a meal at home for their family on a regular basis.

Our Story Tellers Family Literacy Groups focus on developing literacy skills for children and their parents/carers, whilst seeing greater levels of active parent/carer involvement in their children’s learning and school life. They are also great fun! Throughout the year we continued to see 100% of parents stating that Story Tellers helped them read more together as a family and 100% of parents stating that they would replicate activities from Story Tellers at home. In addition, 100% of parents stated that Story Tellers has helped increase their child/ren’s enjoyment in reading. We introduced Story Bags for families to continue Story Tellers activities into

the school holidays. Each bag contains a book, a prompt card to help families talk about the book and a craft to go along with the book. As with all our work, our approach is backed up by the latest research, which states that a child’s word learning, language and reading skills are developed during shared reading, One of the secrets of the success of all our groups is the trusting relationships that are built with families. In Story Tellers groups for instance, the trusting relationships mean that parents and carers often open up about their own struggles with literacy. One of our FFL partnering schools recently estimated that 60% of their parents have literacy levels below that of an average 10-year-old, making it even more difficult to support their children’s reading skills. We therefore consulted with a number of parents and carers before launching a pilot Book Club. The style of the club is fun, informal and interactive, using specific and tailored resources to support adults who are struggling readers. Our growth to become a city-wide charity took a huge step forward. We reported last year that our management committee had launched a building fund with the ambitious aim of raising £1M. This would enable us to purchase our own premises to act as a base from which we can work into deprived communities across the city. We received a £300,000 donation last year and have received a further £700,000 to meet our £1M target. We are immensely grateful to the charitable trust who made this extremely generous donation. We are so very grateful to all our supporters, staff and army of volunteers as we look back over the last year. We are especially grateful to the growing number of charitable trusts and individuals who have chosen to invest in the work that we do and partner with us. Their vision and generosity have enabled us to grow into a significant family-focused charity in Leeds. We have directly supported more people than ever before, enlarged the geographical spread of our provision and seen our income increase to £277,390 (excluding the donation for the building). Over the last year in Leeds, our families faced the impossible choice between putting food on the table and turning the heating on. Caught in the worst of the cost-of-living storm were over 40,000 children in Leeds who live below the poverty line. Our support became a lifeline for many families. Now we have come out of the pandemic, have re-established all of our in-person activities and further developed what we are able to offer through our groups, we feel that we are in a strong position to set a future direction which builds on the success of our current activities. We plan to continue to spread across the city and take on the effects of deprivation in our poorest communities. We will continue to grow so that more and more people’s lives are changed as we come alongside them. We would like to conclude this summary by thanking our supporters, volunteers and staff. Like us, they believe that every family deserves to flourish. Thank you – we couldn’t do it without you alongside.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
 the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated goods
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Tax reclaims on donations
and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other

Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other claims income in the SoFA. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and Investment gains and losses any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance and support Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its costs compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of Grants with performance service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the conditions recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Please note that Fair Value in this context is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowlegable and willing parties in an arm's length transaction. For traded securities, the fair value is the value of the security quoted on the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List or equivalent. For other assets where there is no market price on a traded market, it is the trustees' or valuers' best estimate of fair value.
