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:

• Address the challenges of poor nutrition and diet, obesity and food poverty by running family cookery clubs in partnership with local residents, primary schools and Social Care.

• Take on the challenge of low literacy levels in families through our fun and engaging Story Tellers Clubs.

• Help to tackle the challenges faced by primary school-aged children caused by invisible barriers to educational engagement such as low confidence and poor personal, social and emotional development, though activity-based mentoring.

• Meet many of the wellbeing needs for parents and carers.

• Coordinate all the above activities into a holistic approach that tackles these root issues, which can be tailored to the challenges faced by individual children and families.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Introduction

Flourishing Families Leeds was launched in 2017, and we are very grateful that so many charitable trusts, businesses, the City Council and individuals have supported our steps forward since then. We are now changing the lives and transforming the futures of close to 1,000 children, parents and carers every year.

Our success was recognised in November 2023 when we received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service as part of the birthday honours awarded by HM King Charles. Flourishing Families was given this award for working alongside communities to transform futures and equip families with the skills to flourish. The assessment for the award by representatives of the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire noted our considerable growth, the effectiveness of our work, our rigorous monitoring and evaluation leading to us adapting our approaches to maximise impact, and the high calibre of our army of volunteers.

Highlights from Supporting Families

There have been many highlights as we’ve drawn alongside families this year and we’ve chosen a few to tell you about.

“My problems flow away when I’m at the mentoring club and it is helping me learn in lessons” , said a child to us recently. Our activity-based mentoring groups provide a nurturing environment which best supports the development and growth of children's wellbeing and confidence. This in turn enables them to reengage at school and helps break the cycle of poverty which is driven by educational underachievement. Over the last year in our mentoring groups, 100% of children reported that they enjoyed coming to the group, felt listened to in the groups, felt that they could be themselves in the groups and were proud of the art they had created.

We have launched a new Family Cookery Club at Hunslet Carr Primary School, in an extremely deprived community in South Leeds. The club has been so successful there that it now has a one-year waiting list. One of the families we met is Rachael and her daughter, Eve. Whilst making spaghetti Bolognese, Rachael told us: “I’ve never even tried a pepper before. We just eat bland stuff in our home like chicken nuggets, pizza and pot noodles. In my house, cooking is using a packet mix or a jar. I don’t know what I’m doing.” Our Family Cookery Club taught Rachael and Eve how to cook healthy and affordable meals that they now replicate at home and will drastically change their eating habits and thus long-term health. We are delighted to report that, over the last year, every Family Cookery Club in every school saw 100% of families telling us that they would definitely repeat the recipes at home and that they now feel more confident in their cooking skills.

Our Family Cookery Clubs now include an engaging 6-week nutritional education programme , and we also incorporate food budgeting and meal planning. Two of our interns during this past year were Food Science and Nutrition graduates from the University of Leeds. They have taken our Family Nutritional Education to new levels by developing the Sugar Guessing Game, Sugar Snap, Portion Pictionary and Fruit and Veg Articulate. These have not only proved to be great fun but have made nutritional education and understanding how to make good choices about what you eat something which is now accessible for our families.

Our Story Tellers Family Literacy Programme has grown from strength to strength. The vision behind Story Tellers is to create a safe, fun and vibrant space in which parents, carers and children can come together and enjoy stories through reading, crafts, games and creativity. Story Tellers is about helping children to develop a life-long love of reading by embracing what is known as “reading for pleasure pedagogy”, in other words, using evidence-based practices to do everything we can to help children become confident “readers for pleasure.” A great deal of research conducted by the National Literacy Trust, The Reading Agency and The Open University and others make clear that reading for pleasure is more important for children’s cognitive development than their parents’ level of education and is a more powerful factor in life achievement than socio-economic background. Children who read regularly are more likely to

TAR

Section D Achievements and performance

be happier, healthier, do better at school, develop a strong sense of empathy and overcome socio-economic disadvantages caused by inequalities. Story Tellers has been particularly successful with 100% of families stating that Story Tellers has helped their child enjoy reading and 100% of families stating that they would replicate activities from Story Tellers at home . Additionally, 100% of families said that Storytellers has helped them read together more as a family . One parent said, “Sometimes when we read a book together, it's hard to understand what's going on. But coming here and having different activities to help us understand the story is amazing. It's good to know different ways to look at a book. I think Edward will cry when Story Tellers finishes! Thank you so much - it's all perfect. I know we'll read more together because of coming to Story Tellers. I also know what kind of craft things to use at home now!” With our community events gathering more and more families as we combat social isolation during the school holidays, this year we launched coffee mornings for parents. At each coffee morning, as well as having time to chat together, we provide different activities, such as painting your own mug, decorating your own sun catcher, games, puzzles, colouring and painting nails. The coffee morning has become so popular that parents have now started inviting their friends too. Not only does the coffee morning provide us with the space to continue to build relationships with families and support them, but it also creates a group of mutual support. We developed our Enhanced Volunteer Programme for volunteers who are former beneficiaries of Flourishing Families and who face significant barriers to employment including social isolation, low self-esteem, poor mental health and lack of opportunity. Additionally, the life experiences that these volunteers share with other beneficiaries significantly enhances their effectiveness. The pilot of this one-year programme was so successful that two of the participants are now employed by us as Project Workers . Leeds is a growing city with over 820,000 residents . Its population is much poorer than the England average with 24% of people living in deprivation (compared to 10% for England as a whole). Many of these deprived communities are very isolated from the rest of the city, due to transport challenges, geographical barriers such as motorways and a lack of resources. Our model of taking our work into the heart of local communities rather than expecting people to travel to us is especially pertinent in these circumstances. We are able to form ongoing, supportive relationships that start in the groups, but go beyond the groups themselves, including offering help in times of crisis and difficulty, such as a visit to a family home after a bereavement. Financial Update Our Income In 2022/23 our income for operations was £277,390 . An additional £700,000 was given to purchase a building, giving us a total building fund of £1,000,000. We have seen our income for operations grow over the last year and, for the year 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024, it was £374,848 . The charitable trust which donated a total of £1,000,000 for a building has suggested that we first rent a property for a short time to more accurately determine both our needs and the best location. We began renting our own building in March and are using some of the interest to pay the rent. For the forthcoming year (2024/25), we have already secured grants and personal donations totalling £182,000. A significant amount of this (£94,000) was donated just before the end of the financial year (for the following year) and was therefore carried over, leading to our income being higher than expenditure. Expenditure Our expenditure is made up of two main parts: staff employment costs and operational costs. Our staff employment costs rose in 2023/24 as we increased staffing to meet the rapidly growing demand for our work. Our operational costs

with the additional rent for the new building also increased. This included an increasing number of projects across a wider area of the city (which resulted in us directly supporting more than 950 people) and a number of successful appeals to combat food poverty (which is particularly acute during school holidays). Our total expenditure was therefore £309,076 .

What’s next: Our BIG Vision

Over the last year, we have made significant inroads into our goal of establishing our work right across Leeds and particularly in some of the most deprived areas in the South, West and East of the city. We have created partnerships with schools and community centres and the profile and reputation of our work is becoming well known in these areas. What this means in practice is that we are able to work with some of the poorest and most socially isolated families to empower them to make real and lasting changes in their lives. The King’s Award for Voluntary Service has further enhanced our profile, and we now have an opportunity to take a big leap forward and transform the lives of many more families. We are looking to realise our BIG Vision – a 5-point ambitious plan to change lives, transform futures and plant Flourishing Families in another city. This is where we would like to go:

• Go Deeper – we want to increase the depth and scope of our supportive relationships with families and individuals . We will do this by providing more ongoing personalised support and building on the success of groups that gather families from across our activities, such as our coffee mornings, which provide ongoing support and advice to parents/carers. We also want to increase the emphasis on wellbeing . We’d like to expand the provision of mentoring groups and create ways to support parents of the children in these groups, such as meeting up with the parents to equip them to follow up on activities done in the groups or providing packs of activities for parents/carers to do at home with their children. We also plan to refine our mentoring curricula so that we can offer an even more targeted approach to children who are struggling.

• Go Wider – we want to spread across even more of Leeds and reach more of the 200,000 people living in poverty. We’d like to move into the centre of the city (an area called Little London) with particularly high levels of deprivation. Our initial contact with a primary school in this area has yielded a potential waiting list of 10 months for our Family Cookery Clubs because of the sheer number of families facing acute food poverty. We’d like to explore ways in which we can connect people together in more and more areas of our city and support families to an even greater extent, such as community events and activities that build on the transformative nature of our groups, for example a summer festival of reading for families. This festival would provide free and constructive summer holiday activities with the aim of connecting families who cannot afford to buy books to local libraries and counter the ‘summer holiday drop-off’ in literacy progress experienced by children in deprived areas which is so detrimental to their educational outcomes.

• Go Older – we’d like to expand our Story Tellers groups so that we cover all primary age groups and have a new curriculum ready to be trialled. This is focused on Years 5 and 6, as there is often a very large drop-off in reading for pleasure at this age and as children move to secondary school (particularly for boys). We are also enhancing our existing curricula, especially to include a greater depth of activities around reading together as a family. In addition, we will explore new ways in which to support family literacy alongside Story Tellers groups.

• Go Younger – we have the opportunity to move to a new level of supporting and positively impacting the lives of the poorest families and their children at an even younger age . We would like to work in partnership with local schools, Leeds City Council, Public Health and the NHS to identify families who are most in need of pre-school support. We also have a growing partnership with Best Start Leeds,

March 2012

TAR

performance

focusing on the first 1000 days of a child’s life with a particular focus on early identification and targeted support for vulnerable families early in the life of the child.

• Go Further – finally, we would like to go further and begin to explore launching Flourishing Families in another city . All that we do is transferrable and reproducible, and we believe that the time is fast approaching when we can move beyond Leeds to impact even more lives.

Our BIG Vision builds on expertise and experience gained over the last eight years. We have grown considerably as a charity but have maintained our high number of volunteers and low-cost base. Therefore, our life-transforming interventions cost around 20% of the cost of other local charities for each person we directly support and 6% of the costs of the City Council. The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is giving us ‘once in a lifetime of the charity’ opportunities to take a big step forward and support even more families.

Finally, as we talk about our BIG Vision, we’d like to say a BIG thank you. Thank you so much for the wonderful support over the years which we have received from individuals, charitable trusts, Leeds City Council, The National Lottery, local businesses and others. With that support, we have changed lives and transformed futures for the poorest families in Leeds. 1,000 lives in Leeds will be different this year as a result.

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 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 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. 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'.
